Letter from Betty Hill:
|
|
|
|
Scientists, working at top level government jobs. Their HOBBY was
|
|
ufos. As a job protection for them, we agreed not to release their
|
|
employment, altho it was well known to us. C D Jackson was never
|
|
associated with Time/Life. We had continuing contacts with them.
|
|
Jackson, in 1966, was still working in Alabama, at the same employment.
|
|
|
|
Most of our friends were officers at Pease AFB. Usually, we all met
|
|
at the Officers Club every Friday night. Barney's best friend was a Lt.
|
|
Col. in Intelligence. Jim McDonald was a Major; also a friend who dated
|
|
one of my best friends. Later they married. We visited each other
|
|
regularly.
|
|
|
|
Jim McDonald suggested hypnosis because our mutual friend, Capt. Ben
|
|
Swett, officer at Pease, did this. Ben felt his type of hypnosis was
|
|
not adequate, as he used only a light stage, which is the stage of
|
|
suggestibility.
|
|
|
|
Dr Ben Simon had left military service years before we met him and he
|
|
was in private practice. Dr Stephans referred us to him because he knew
|
|
he used medical hypnosis, taught in medical school, when Dr. Stephans
|
|
had been one of his students.
|
|
|
|
As for the movie, "Let Their Be Light" dealt with medical hypnosis
|
|
used by Dr Simon to treat servicemen returning from WW2, and restoring
|
|
them to good health. A wonderful movie - it should be released to the
|
|
public.
|
|
|
|
As for two therapists; we consulted one, one appointment. Barney was
|
|
seen be Dr Duncan Stephans, but I was not.
|
|
|
|
As for the cost of our appointments with Dr Simon, it is true he was
|
|
very expensive. Our health insurance paid one-half of this. Bill was
|
|
submitted for "therapy following ufo capture". We paid the remaining
|
|
half, which was in the thousands of dollars.
|
|
|
|
John Fuller did not learn of our experience from NICAP, or Donald
|
|
Keyhoe. From them, he learned the information which resulted in his
|
|
book, INCIDENT IN EXETER. He was in this area, gathering information
|
|
for this, when the Boston newspaper articles were published.
|
|
|
|
As for "Unpleasant Possibility" - Pure Paranoia! Nothing "sinister"
|
|
about our experience or our friends. And the UFO definitely had nothing
|
|
to do with New Mexico.
|
|
|
|
It would be appreciated if you would send me a corrected copy for
|
|
your computer. Nice to hear from you -
|
|
Sincerely,

P.S. How I know those who captured us were not from New Mexico -- No
|
|
alien-government base exists there. Apparently this story began when a
|
|
woman in a light trance of hypnosis told of being taken there.
|
|
|
|
Ed Conroy, a writer, and a friend Dora Ruffner did an investigation of
|
|
this. They learned the locations of these so-called bases were located
|
|
on the reservation of the Jicarilla Apache Tribe, a restricted area. So
|
|
they met with the tribal leaders and obtained permission to research
|
|
the areas, with guides and without them. They explored the areas. All
|
|
they found was an abondoned water tower that had been used in the past
|
|
when a railroad ran thru this area; also a house habited by an Apache
|
|
family. No gravel roads, no towers, no government or any other kind of
|
|
installations.
|
|
|
|
Ed Conroy was the first person to research this report - He is a
|
|
reporter on arts and electronic media for the San Antonio Express News.
|
|
He should be included on your computer network.

I wrote to Mrs. Hill again and thanked her for her comments and asked
|
|
if she would like to make a statement for the BBS regarding her
|
|
experience, the following is her response.
|
|
|
|
April 2, 1990
|
|
|
|
Dear Barbara Becker,
|
|
|
|
|
|
I think probably the easiest way to answer your questions is to list
|
|
the events as they occured.
|
|
|
|
Let me say first, that in a case like ours, our conscious mind did
|
|
not remember all, but our subconscious mind did. We considered the
|
|
beginning of our capture was the time when Barney was standing in the
|
|
field, watching the craft, when one of the humanoids said something to
|
|
him, resulting in his panic and running back to the car, yelling they
|
|
were trying to capture us.
|
|
|
|
As we went speeding along the highway to avoid capture, we heard the
|
|
beeping sounds, and the car vibrated.
|
|
|
|
When Barney turned into a secondary road, I thought we knew a short
|
|
cut on our way home, and did not question this. Then we saw what we
|
|
called the moon setting on the ground. We assumed the moon was setting,
|
|
and we could see the trees in front of this.
|
|
|
|
The next, Barney turned onto a dirt road, in the direction of the
|
|
setting moon. Before I could question him about this, we saw the men
|
|
standing in the road, blocking our way - and we could not remember
|
|
beyond this point.
|
|
|
|
We remembered looking for the highway, but before we reached this, we
|
|
saw the craft again as it passed over the secondary road in front of
|
|
us.
|
|
|
|
When we entered onto the main highway, we heard a second series of
|
|
beeping sounds. And we came home, looking for the craft all the way and
|
|
not seeing it.
|
|
|
|
At home, Barney's first remark was "It is 5 o'clock, We should have
|
|
been home by 3 AM at the latest." This time was from our kitchen clock,
|
|
for both our watches had stopped running - this puzzled us, that both
|
|
stopped about the same time.
|
|
|
|
Barney began to unload our belongings from the car. We agreed they
|
|
should not be brought into the house, so they were left on the back
|
|
porch for a couple of days.
|
|
|
|
Then we took long showers, shampoos for we felt "very dirty".
|
|
|
|
We agreed that something had happened, we did not know what it was,
|
|
but we could not talk about it. We would forget about it as quickly as
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
The next day I went out to my car, and found highly polished spots on
|
|
the trunk in a circular pattern. I became very upset, saying maybe we
|
|
had been exposed to something dangerous - the spots should be checked
|
|
out. So I called my sister who called a physist who suggested checking
|
|
the spots with a compass, which I did. When the compass was very
|
|
erratic, I called my sister again to tell her of this. At that time a
|
|
police officer was at her home, and I talked with him - told him about
|
|
the night before. He said they had orders to tell witnesses to call
|
|
Pease Air Force Base and report this sighting. So we called Pease and
|
|
told them about the sighting, but ommitted about Barney seeing the
|
|
humanoids.
|
|
|
|
Our next step was to return to the Mountains, looking for a secondary
|
|
road, the dirt road, thinking if we could find these, we could remember
|
|
what happened after we saw the "men in the road". We went back
|
|
regularly, in all kinds of weather, looking but not finding the dirt
|
|
road. While we were there, we asked everyone we saw, if they ever saw
|
|
any strange lights in the sky, received hundreds of reports - meeting
|
|
with groups of 50 or more at a time, who told of their sightings, but
|
|
none with an experience similar to ours, which we did not discuss.
|
|
|
|
About six to eight weeks after this experience, we came home one
|
|
night, and found on the kitchen table a pile of dried leaves. Our first
|
|
response was - someone has been in our home! When I began to clean up
|
|
the leaves, I found my blue ear rings I was wearing that night. That
|
|
was panic - how did I lose them and who returned them? And how did they
|
|
get into our home?
|
|
|
|
Next was my dress. The second time I had worn this, and now it was
|
|
covered with a pink powdery substance. I put it outside, and the
|
|
powdery substance blew away, but it left pink stains all over my dress.
|
|
Also the hem and some seams were torn - it had a built in lining -
|
|
badly torn.
|
|
|
|
To go back, to ten nights after this experience, I had a series of
|
|
dreams, for five nights, of being captured, taken on board, given a
|
|
physical exam. At that time, Barney worked midnight to 8 AM, so he was
|
|
not here. I typed out these dreams and hid them, never discussed them
|
|
until the time of our hypnosis with Dr. Simon.
|
|
|
|
As for Hohman and Jackson, they had attended some kind of Geological
|
|
Conference in Washington DC and met Donald Keyhoe there. After the
|
|
Conference they told him they had a hobby, and interest in flying
|
|
saucers (the term at that time) He let them read Walt Webb's report of
|
|
his meeting with us.
|
|
|
|
Hohman wrote to us, asking to meet with us. We agreed for at than
|
|
time, we knew nothing about ufos, and we were quietly seeking some
|
|
explanation for our expereince. Hohman was from New York, and Jackson
|
|
was from Alabama, so we needed to wait until these two were together.
|
|
|
|
When they were here, Barney told them about the humanoid saying
|
|
something to him, which he could not remember - this was very upsetting
|
|
to him.
|
|
|
|
We told them about the setting moon just before we turned on to the
|
|
dirt road. They said we could not have seen the moon, for it had
|
|
already set. Panic by both of us.
|
|
|
|
So they suggested we take a road map, and pinpoint our location at
|
|
different times. We knew we had left Colebrook about 10 PM, the
|
|
restaurant there. We were able to pinpoint the locations and times most
|
|
of the way, but at one point between Plymouth and Ashland was a blank.
|
|
So they suggested we go back to this general area. Then we talked about
|
|
time - we could drive to Canada in seven hours, and it had taken us
|
|
seven hours to come home from Colebrook. There had to be an
|
|
explanation. Later this was called a missing time period. But right
|
|
from the beginning Barney and I knew the trip home was much longer then
|
|
it should have been.
|
|
|
|
We continued to go back to the mountains, looking for the dirt road,
|
|
asking people about their sightings. Then we began asking if anyone had
|
|
ever seen the people aboard the crafts. No. No one knew Barney had seen
|
|
them and remembered this.
|
|
|
|
As for a hallucination, I was and am a trained social worker. I know
|
|
the conditions which must exist for a hallucination to occur - for both
|
|
people to have the same one, at the same time, does not happen. Dr.
|
|
Simon confirmed this impossibility.
|
|
|
|
As for the car incident, we both became upset at the same time, but I
|
|
had already had my dreams. We were puzzled as to the reasons we
|
|
responded the way we did.
|
|
|
|
If we had not had all these upsetting events happen, without
|
|
explanation, we would had never have spent thousands of dollars going
|
|
to Dr. Simon. We went to him, to get rid of our anxieties, not for a
|
|
ufo capture. He worked with us for seven months, every week. But I
|
|
learned during these sessions when he was putting our amnesia back so
|
|
we could not remember, that we must see him every week for him to
|
|
reinforce the amnesia. If we did not do this, we would remember in
|
|
about ten days - the same length of time, after this experience, that I
|
|
had my dreams. Now I know I recalled these events, in my dreams, as a
|
|
result of the lessening of their control of my memory.
|
|
|
|
After our hypnosis, we went back to the area, and went directly to
|
|
the secondary road, to the dirt road. Found the cleared area in the
|
|
woods where the craft was down.
|
|
|
|
Since that time, three labs have tried to analyze the pink stains on
|
|
my dress without success.
|
|
|
|
I agree with you the field of UFOlogy is filled with disinformation.
|
|
They have done more to cover real activities by ufos than any other
|
|
group. As for my social worker background, I know that insecure people
|
|
have a terrible time with things they do not understand, and must
|
|
develop an explanation, satisfactory to themselves, which usually is a
|
|
fantasy. I dislike the term "missing time" for everyone has missing
|
|
time. The human brain is incapable of remembering every little detail
|
|
of our lives, every moment. No one can remember everything that
|
|
happened yesterday.
|
|
|
|
I have worked with those who have been captured, and with those who
|
|
would like to think they were. Five were real captures, reported almost
|
|
immediately to the police, and in three cases, they were at the
|
|
emergency room at the hospital within three hours. Then for the others
|
|
- five were beginning to be mentally ill, were committed, diagnosed,
|
|
and treated. Later, one became a suicide. Then there are the hoaxes - I
|
|
walked right thru the wall - how much did it cost for repairs? They
|
|
call back in a few days, and tell me how they fooled the hypnotist by
|
|
telling weird tales, which were believed. Finally, there are those who
|
|
are led astray by auto-suggestion, called hypnosis, by those using it.
|
|
I can take anyone, and in fifteen minutes, thru a simple exercise can
|
|
give them a ufo capture. But I am sure that they know it is only a
|
|
"Flight of Fantasy". But it is the same kind of "hypnosis" others are
|
|
using. It is not the hypnosis we had. We had the kind that is used in
|
|
surgery. I would like to see all those who use the wrong kind, try to
|
|
do some simple medical procedures.
|
|
|
|
So many try to copy my experiences, so Dr. Simon wrote a segment
|
|
about hypnosis, the types, testing and characteristics. No one
|
|
apparently read or understood this section, pages 82 thru 85, for they
|
|
ignore this. Unfortunately it is ruining the field of hypnosis, which
|
|
does have good medical uses.
|
|
|
|
I went to a conference of so-called abductees. One told of her
|
|
experiences, right out of Star Trek. She took on the part played by
|
|
Capt. Kirk. Used the same names as in the tv program. Later we told her
|
|
this, so she went back and had "hypnosis" again and came up with a
|
|
different capture. Such success. Such fairy tales they tell.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for letting me set the record straight. Some times I have
|
|
heard my experiences told in such a way, I did not recognize it.
|
|
