#2 The Hill Abduction Case, 1961, source: Interrupted Journey
|
|
|
|
SEPT. 18-19 [Sept. 19-20] Barney and Betty Hill abducted in the White
|
|
Mountains of New Hampshire. They remember part of the experience but
|
|
have over 2 hours of "missing time," of which they are totally unaware
|
|
at first. Barney remembers seeing huge object with "fins with red
|
|
lights on the ends" and "crew members behind glass" panels at very
|
|
short range. This object was more than 100 feet across and hovered 50
|
|
feet above the ground only 300 feet away for several minutes Barney
|
|
watched through binoculars. SEPT. 20 Betty Hill calls her sister and
|
|
tells her part of the story. Sister then calls a local physicist who
|
|
suggested they check for radiation. Sister also calls local police
|
|
chief who suggests they call Pease AFB, Portsmouth, N.H. Betty calls
|
|
the Air Force Base, worried about radiation. The officer who answers
|
|
was at first "cynical and unresponsive" but finally did ask to talk to
|
|
Barney. After Barney mentioned the "fins with lights" the officer
|
|
perked up and said the call was being "monitored". Barney felt that the
|
|
officer was definitely interested. Barney did not mention the figures
|
|
he had seen behind the glass through binoculars. SEPT. 21 Major Paul
|
|
Anderson, Intelligence Officer for the 100th Bomb Group, Pease AFB,
|
|
calls back, says he has stayed up all night working on a report of this
|
|
incident. Asked Barney for the size of the object. Barney says it
|
|
appeared as big as a dinner plate held at arms length. Major Anderson
|
|
filed a report with Blue Book, #100-1-61. SEPT. 23 Betty [Barney] Hill
|
|
Goes to the local Library and finds one of Major Donald Keyhoe's books
|
|
on UFOs. Takes down his address. SEPT. 26 Betty Hill writes to Keyhoe
|
|
in Washington, D.C., describing the incident as she remembers it.
|
|
Fuller reports that NICAP (Keyhoe's organization) was getting 40,000
|
|
letters a year. SEPT. 30 Ten days after the sighting Betty Hill begins
|
|
to have a series of vivid and awesome dreams, which Fuller does not
|
|
tell us about. They continue for five days and then stop. OCT. 4 Keyhoe
|
|
is asked to lunch by Robert Hohman and someone named C.D. Jackson,
|
|
"senior engineer" for a "notable electronics company", name withheld.
|
|
They are supposedly working on a paper about extra-terrestrial contacts
|
|
that Nikola Tesla, David Todd and Marconi were alleged to have
|
|
experienced in the early part of the century. Keyhoe tells them about
|
|
the Hills. OCT. 21 Walter Webb, investigtaor for Keyhoe's NICAP and an
|
|
astronomer [lec-turer] with the Hayden Planetarium, New York, N.Y.,
|
|
comes to interview the Hills. He is there several hours. Betty does not
|
|
tell him about her dreams. Barney tells of the "captain" and others he
|
|
saw through the glass. OCT. 25? Betty begins to have a series of dreams
|
|
following an experience in the car. She had panicked as she and Barney
|
|
had come upon a stalled auto in the road with some people standing
|
|
around it. That night she dreamed of being taken into a UFO and given
|
|
some sort of examination. OCT. 26 Webb's report goes to NICAP in
|
|
Washington. He had not been contacted by Keyhoe directly but through
|
|
the mail by Richard Hall, NICAP's secretary. He had been skeptical. He
|
|
was very much impressed by the Hills, however. NOV. 3 Hohman and
|
|
Jackson write the Hills asking for an interview. They tell the Hills
|
|
that they are serious minded men whose interest is in "verifying the
|
|
origin of these vehicles according to existing scientific theory
|
|
maintained by Hermann Oberth." Oberth was of V-2 rocket fame. They did
|
|
not reveal their place of employment but permission was granted. NOV.
|
|
25 Hohman and Jackson come to the house to interview the Hills. "Also
|
|
visiting that day" is Major James McDonald, a long-time friend of the
|
|
Hills and an Air Force intelligence officer. It appears he asks no
|
|
questions about who Homan and Jackson are. The Hills had "discussed the
|
|
case many times with Maj. McDonald." The three of them spend 12 hours
|
|
talking to the Hills about their experience, including the "men" behind
|
|
the glass. Major McDonald suggests hypnosis but does not know any
|
|
therapists. The matter rests here for some time. Both Hills begin to be
|
|
concerned about the incident and the chance they may have been
|
|
hallucinating. MAR., 1962 Betty Hill writes to a doctor recommended by
|
|
a colleague. The Hills see him and tell their stories. The doctor
|
|
recommends they wait and see if the problem subsides on its own. No
|
|
therapy is attempted. SUMMER, 1962 Barney begins to see a psychiatrist
|
|
about his anxiety but only briefly mentions the UFO incident. SEPT.,
|
|
1962 The Hills are invited to a "UFO Study Group" to informally talk
|
|
about their experience. That meeting is taped, by whom Fuller does not
|
|
say, unknown to the Hills. Betty talked of her dreams, the dream of the
|
|
physical examination. SEPT., 1963 The Hills tell their church
|
|
discussion group about the UFO inci-dent. That same day Captain Ben
|
|
Swett, from Pease AFB, was to talk about hyp-nosis, which he had made a
|
|
personal hobby of his. The Hills are encouraged by Major McDonald to
|
|
talk to their church friends about their experience and en-couraged by
|
|
Capt. Swett to undergo hypnosis. Barney is experiencing extreme
|
|
psychological disturbances as a result of the UFO sighting and
|
|
abduction. He would die in the late 1960's at the age of 46. Television
|
|
movie THE UFO INCIDENT with James Earl Jones and Estelle Parsons. Dr.
|
|
Simon had been technical advisor on a WWII movie made by John Huston
|
|
called LET THERE BE LIGHT. JUNE, 1964 Sessions with Dr. Simon end. FALL
|
|
[Oct.], 1965 Sensational articles run in Boston newspaper about the
|
|
Hills experience. Information taken from tape made at the Sept., 1962
|
|
"UFO Study Group" meeting, provenance unknown. NOV., 1965 Unitarian
|
|
Church in Dover, N.H., invites the Hills to talk. Hills meet with
|
|
Admiral Knowles, NICAP, before they speak. Also on program is a Public
|
|
Information Officer from Pease, AFB, who is a member of the Church [not
|
|
a church member] and has helped set up the event. He does not attack
|
|
the Hills. At this time a huge UFO flap was underway in the area and
|
|
hundreds of people were turned away from the church on a cold and raw
|
|
evening. The usual attendance for the weekly Unitarian sessions: 40
|
|
people.
|
|
|
|
AS YOU CAN SEE from the simple chronology above (assembled from John
|
|
Fuller's book with difficulty) there is more going on in the Hill case
|
|
than meets the eye. WHO WERE "HOMANN and C.D. Jackson?" Who were they
|
|
really working for? Why was a "major electronics firm" paying them to
|
|
investigate 60-year-old fairy tales about Nikola Tesla? What
|
|
"scientific theories" held by Hermann Oberth could be of interest to an
|
|
"electronics firm." What we actually have here is a "cover" for
|
|
intelligence activity. IN ALIENS FROM SPACE, 1973, Keyhoe says that
|
|
these two "engineers" were "aiding NICAP." That is not the impression
|
|
that is given in Fuller's book. In INTERRUPTED JOURNEY the strong
|
|
impression is that these two gentlemen simply had an independent
|
|
interest due to a strange research assignment from their company. This
|
|
could be accepted in 1966. In 1990 we know better. YOU SEE, by the fall
|
|
of 1963 a gentleman named C.D. Jackson was working for Time/Life
|
|
Corporation in an executive position. In fact, he was helping to
|
|
arrange a $25,000 payment to the widow of Lee Harvey Oswald. IN CASE
|
|
YOU HAVE forgotten, Time/Life bought the Zapruder Film for $150,000 and
|
|
then made sure it was not shown as a film for many years. Then, when it
|
|
was shown, it had been obviously altered. David Lifton in BEST EVIDENCE
|
|
says that the film was at the CIA's photo interpretation lab the day
|
|
Time/Life bought it. DOES THE FACT THAT Donald Keyhoe had lunch with
|
|
C.D. Jackson just after getting Betty Hill's letter "resonate" with
|
|
you? It does with this author. Donald Keyhoe was, in UFOsearch's
|
|
opinion, running a two-track operation. In the public and with his
|
|
organization he was not interested in "contactee" stories. But on deep
|
|
background he was involved with another investigation, one connected
|
|
with the intelligence community. Were they running him? CONSIDER THIS.
|
|
In ALIENS FROM SPACE Keyhoe says that "A well-known journalist, John
|
|
Fuller, had learned of the case in a confidential talk at NICAP. It was
|
|
arranged that he should prepare the record using Dr. Simon's taped
|
|
questions and the Hill's answers." Then Keyhoe says: INTERRUPTED
|
|
JOURNEY received a surprising amount of serious attention compared to
|
|
the usual treatment of "contactee stories." How interesting. YES--AND
|
|
THE "abduction story" has become a staple of the UFO investigator.
|
|
Indeed, the sanitized Hill story became the ONLY abduction movie ever
|
|
made --- before COMMUNION, 1989. And the Hill saga appeared only on the
|
|
small screen, it never ran in theaters. The same could almost be said
|
|
for COMMUNION which was not widely distributed and died a very quick
|
|
death. It will be in video stores by mid-1990 which, I think, is the
|
|
idea. OTHER QUESTIONS: How did it happen that one of the Hill's best
|
|
friends was an Air Force Intelligence Officer who just happened to be
|
|
visiting the day that Hohman and Jackson showed up? Isn't it
|
|
interesting that they were the ones who first made the Hills aware of
|
|
their "missing time?" Isn't it interesting that they were the ones who
|
|
suggested hypnosis? ISN'T IT INTERESTING that the man finally called in
|
|
to do the regressions on the Hills was the Executive officer of the
|
|
Army's main psychiatric hospital during World War II, who did his
|
|
undergraduate work at Johns Hopkins University whose wartime president
|
|
was a member of MAJESTIC-12 and who was the technical advisor on the
|
|
major WWII propaganda film made by the famous director John Huston? The
|
|
Hills went through two other therapists before going to Simon. Did they
|
|
have the money to pay this gentlemen, who must have been very, very
|
|
expensive? This is something Fuller does not talk about. Did NICAP pay
|
|
their way? UNPLEASANT POSSIBILITY The Hills were "set up" by the people
|
|
dealing with the so-called "Greys" out in New Mexico. The Hill case was
|
|
either a deep-cover check on what the "Greys" were doing under the
|
|
"agreement" or it was an even deeper-cover attempt at "disinformation"
|
|
to get "abductions" in play--safely.
