This is perhaps the best-- and most evenhanded-- retelling of this case. Excellent work.
No it's not. Stfu It's typical skeptical fare. It pretends to "analoze the situation", but in reality, it's a bait & switch routine. These types of "documentaries" ALWAYS end of the skeptical side, these are either propagandists or idiots for wasting time.
True
The story is well toad
The charters names are the same as the Flintstones
czcams.com/video/DqbNlj-k0Zo/video.html this is Betty's interview.
I had the honor of meeting Betty Hill when I attended Portsmouth Jr. High in NH, my 7th grade year. This was around 1978. My class sat in the school library and listened to one of the most chilling yet intriguing stories. She also had a bust of what the ET looked like. May her memory be eternal. 🙏
My father worked with Barney. I Just asked my 90-year old father about the story and he believes him. My father doesn't believe in much, but he did believe him.
@@stephendacey8761ⁿ⁹⁹⁹
What was the bust like?
@@rosecitystud1908 Its called Junior lol
I used to watch Benny Hill back in the 80's. It was always a weird blend of proper English comedy and raunchy sleezyness. Never got to meet Benny and wonder why he would bother showing up at your stupid Jr. High...makes no sense. Dude was making bank and a playboy of sorts by that time, landing tons of hot pussy thanks to his show and certainly way better things to deal with on his plate than showing up at
some kids school. NICE Try.
In stressful situations such as Betty and Barney went through, it is very difficult to have a consistent memory, partly because every person reacts differently to the situation.
I agree whole heartedly. On they had different time when they saw the craft but even if you are not under stress the stories change. Think about the child's game telephone and the big tall tales and families telling stories about when they grew up differed from a sibling who was there at the time.
And we want someone under extreme stress to have every detail correct?! PLEEASE
Apparently, under hypnosis the memories can be accessed,
I also think they are using trauma based mind control to a degree and erasing memories.
Fun fact: Angela Hill fights in the UFC women's division, these are her grandparents and she's mentioned it a few times during interviews. She's a very good martial artist but not somebody who seems to into these stories but she might be keeping it to herself in fear of being ridiculed.
Joe Rogan forgot to ask about it on his podcast.
@@ZachandBri7 No. She didn't tell him they were her grandparents until right after they had already ended the podcast. Rogan has said he kind of regrets not cranking the mics right back up and bringing her back but it never happened 🤷♂️
She should be more embarrassed and ridiculed for looking like a male ugly alien honestly.
This video said they didn’t have any children. They said Barney had 2 children from a previous relationship but Betty was unable to have children.
Only Barney is her grandparent because Betty couldn't have children
I'd add here that Betty's deteriorating mental state may have began after the alleged abduction. That might explain her "seeing UFO's everywhere" behavior. Also Barney's stroke in his 40s. Personally I believe this abduction account.
I was on my way to discount her story but your comment made me remember thst PTSD makes them think that they see the thing everywhere.
Demonic encounter.
@@tmo4330yes I see it also
It think the health stories are anecdotal. The fear is real though. I think if these stories are real, it’s really no different than bringing your cat to the vet. It’s weird and scary and we don’t understand. If this is real the way it’s described mimics a botched study
Aliens: “We always find those we want to”
Also aliens: “What is age? How long do people live? What are years? What is squash? What is yellow?”
There ain’t no way a real space faring civilisation wouldn’t know what years is because it’s literally based on the solar system
I'm pretty sure that aliens exist but this abduction story is hella fake. These would be the dumbest space faring aliens that would exist. Whatever info they were trying to get probably doesn't require an abduction. And even if they did decide an abduction it should have been quick easy and the humans wouldn't know. You probably even havent thought of the fact that by interacting with humans, they're bringing bacteria and viruses to their ship that they don't have antibodies for and could kill them. The other way goes too for the humans.
I always found it interesting that they shared the same first names as Betty and Barney Rubble, the friends and neighbors of the Flintstones.
Fred Flintstone was already being invaded by an alien against his will already, The Great Gazoo.
The names were quite common throughout much of early to mid 20th century America...
@@deathsyth8888 Did the great Gazoo ever “probe” Fred and Barney?
And like Betty Rubble, Betty Hill was infertile.
Coincidence? I think NOT!
The most abnormal thing about any of this was that the aliens wore bells on their caps 😂😂
I really hope these hats were actually just fezzes.
@@Mr.SnekMeister The Ottomans did abduct a lot of people... hmmmm
Bills, the auto-captions misheard me
@@Fireoflearning I am sorry if this has already been answered, but I could not find the source (in the reference section) for the picture of the alien (eyes) in the cover photo. May I ask for the source? Thank you.

This has been one of the best documentaries ever done on this incident. It's much more than two or three people sitting around and talking. Well done.
Great subject for a Campfire episode. This was a very spooky story for me as a kid. When I first heard about it as a kid in the 90's.
I remember hearing about this case on the history channel or something as a kid and I was blown away lol
Rx-93 nu right here…
It happened close by my girlfriends house. She lives in Kingston NH
@@NuTTzO Eh.... nothing happened ... lol !
I greatly appreciate your fair, dispassionate analysis of the case and the data surrounding it. At no point did I detect bias or prejudice, and that is the mark of the difficult work as done by a professional. Bravo.
That was the most detailed depiction of this story I've ever heard. Great work 😊
Ya, I would like to have seen some of their drawings inserted into this as the story was being told.
My late friend Buz Sawyer was the chief of police in Newton NH, he knew them, and when Betty and Barney got home, he was the very first call they made. He says they were very very serious, very shaken, and he knew them to be honest and somber.
He told them to call the air force base. I don't recall if it was Hanscom, Pease, or Westover.
He believed them. And Buz was nobody's fool.
Wow, very interesting!
Yah that's crazy. Part of history as well.
I remember Betty saying they called pease
I work as a veterinary technician, and from the pets’ point of view, I must seem like an alien who’s abducted them.
I have often wondered the same thing while fishing.
@@raclark2730 woah I actually never thought of it that way
Well. if you would just STOP the Anal Probing, they wouldn't think that.
What if abductions are just alien medical students conducting anatomical studies? Like how 18th and 19th century medical students used dead bodies stolen from cemeteries? 😂
“Oh no! Not again”
Aliens: flying an aircraft that allows you to travel to another planet
Also aliens: struggling with the zipper
1960s zippers were a nightmare, tbh.
Aliens: Somehow speak fluent English and understand her perfectly. Run tests on her entire body with futuristic equipment.
Also aliens: what is a “year” and “aging”?
There are humans right here on Earth who don't know how to configure one side of a Rubic's cube soooo....
Maybe they were nervous. What if she laughs at them? What if they can’t finish…their…experiments? Maybe they couldn’t believe it was finally happening for them, and with shaky hands, struggle with the zipper…?
At least they traveled. Humans may never be capable considering how stupid they act and think on earth.
I'm about nine minutes in, and loving the amount of detail you're going into here. I've been interested in UFOs for over twenty years at this point, so this is a story I've heard multiple times, of course, but it's been a while. Always nice to get a good, solid refresher course like this.
I agree, it's a thorough and intelligent analysis without throwing out every possibility of it being unusual in some way.
I'm only recently interested in UFO's I used to think it was purely hoaxes but lately with them entering mainstream with the New York Times articles I lifted a brow and then looked into it and WOW. I'm sorry for ever being mean to anyone over this stuff. I used to dismiss it entirely like any other annoying disprover. I wasn't going out of my way but I'm sure I poked fun at someone at some point. Funnily a week or two prior I was thinking about how at least one (if not more) of my fundamental beliefs is likely to be wrong. I suppose my beliefs that ufo's don't exist was just one of many beliefs I'm sure will be overturned in the future
Okay.

I'm a New Hampshire native and have been to the abduction spot up north. Betty and Barney's story is not as big of a cultural touchstone around here as you'd believe it would. You'll get the occasional recap around Halloween in the local media but it seems like most people would rather forget about it.
Btw, it's pronounced "Ports-muth". 😛
I was stationed at a Nuke sub base there in 1985 when I was in the corps
He went to the Archie bunker school of pronunciation!
I too commented about the pronunciation of Portsmouth, heh. I know there’s one in NH, but few people seem to know there’s another in Southeast Virginia. Hampton Roads.
I drive up to NH occasionally to get away from work and life. It’s truly the most beautiful state. I always am sad to leave.
Aaah! Apparently aliens are often observed near nuke/ radioactive stations. Area 51 & the like…
Aliens: Travels intergalactically.
Also Aliens: What are dentures?
Not everyone is British
Right. This is why I’m scratching my head about this story. Aliens are super intelligent. Their IQ is a thousand times higher than humans. They’re the ones with all the technology and everything else
Absolutely love the campfire series, I'm sure they take forever to make, but they're awesome
another problem that makes the report unbelievable is the description of the aliens' primitive technologies. They used levers on the panel and syringes etc.
And they somehow have never fathomed what dentures or knew what the colour yellow are.... lol the story is so obviously fake and badly thought up. They are completely limited in their imagination by their own understanding of technology and thus the aliens have to have their same tech, super obvious fake when this is the case.
1950s-60s conspiracies use technology known to 1950s-60s civilian humans _in a strange coincidence._
Maybe they just like retro sensibilities?
Lol what? Levers and syringes are primitive technology??
@@billblaski9523 when did you last pull a lever to control electronics?
Excellent content as usual. Being into this type of thing since childhood, I've known of the case for decades, but recently became more interested. Your even-keeled approach to topics like this is greatly appreciated. Usually, you'l find people swinging really hard one way or the other, so this is very refreshing. In many ways, your channel demonstrates the kind of goals I had when starting my own. Thanks again for the great videos.
As long as the aliens don't touch Peanut the capybara!
They won’t
I read this in 5th grade. Eric von Daniken put it in his first UFO book. I was demoted on School Patrol for telling the 1st & 2nd grade kids about it in route to the intersection- one of the elite School Patrol routes. I'll never forget being demoted by Mr. Henderson, a 6' 6" giant of a teacher. He accused me of ' scaring the kids ' and demoted me to sidewalk patrol.
Just for talking about UFOs.... you deserved it !
That’s how those navy pilots feel now that they can publicly speak on it. They explained basically their version of the “giant of a teacher”, demoting them or making their life harder because they wanted to speak up about what they say
Geez. Good for you!
Erich Von Danniken book Chariots of the Gods - also later a film. A landmark moment in my childhood and a book ma father was particularly interested in. Good to know I’m not the only one.
I love Eric Von Daniken books i have read all of them i also like arthur c clarke to his tv program was great i am a firm beliver in Aliens coming to our planet thousands of years ago and also presant day also Betty And Barney saw what they saw who are we to say they didnt
I never knew they had a dachshund with them. My family has had 5 dachshunds; one just passed away two days ago from liver cancer. We’d been desperately caring for him for 4 months since the diagnosis, trying to tempt his appetite and showing him with more love than ever. Gussie, we miss you so much. My heart aches. Dachshunds are amazing. I hate to hear that a dachshund went through anything scary.
OMG thank you for covering this! I love your videos and this is such an interesting case
It’s not the same thing but being a childhood victim of SA it took me over a decade to let myself even admit what happened let alone say it out loud your mind has a way of blocking out memories that are too painful for you to deal with so it protects you as I’ve learned in therapy it’s taken me 13 yrs to even understand the whole timeline and there’s still pieces that idk where they go still so I completely understand why they’re so confused they’re experience is the most traumatic thing a human can go through I can imagine
Sorry.
Bro, your attention to detail is amazing! Wonderful story telling!
Betty did address the whole language barrier thing. She said that they had a device that translated language. I'm pretty sure she said that in an interview.
This is the most thorough video I've seen on this. Thanks for giving both sides!
No mention of how Barney’s description of the aliens matches the appearance of an alien character that appeared in an episode of The Outer Limits that aired shortly before one of their hypnosis sessions?
Ran out of time but I linked the Kotmeyer article that discusses that
@@Fireoflearning Thanks. Great video overall!
According to Barney he had sperm removed. He didn’t include that in the book due to the embarrassment. Although that account wasn’t included, other abductees always say they had sperm removed. Science fiction and entertainment is not the cause of alien abduction.
@@AchillesCyanide People have been giving sperm samples since medicine began. Not hard to come up with. Almost as easy as plagiarizing aliens from a hugely popular science-fiction show xD
@@AchillesCyanide yes, yes it is.
Thank you for presenting all of this with such a consistent tone! I don’t have to slow down the audio at all for these videos and I listen to these in the background of my day! Thank you very much!
I've been asking this for some years now.
Does anyone know what has happened to the car that the Hills were driving?
To my knowledge the car was a 1957 Chevrolet and not what is shown in some documentaries. This car, if still around, should have evidence of what had happened to the Hills that night. Betty's dress was saved and I hope the car was saved.
USA Government examined and destroyed.
I drove from Las Vegas to Austin , Texas pretty much non-stop. No sleep for about 30 hours. I started hallucinating, I thought I was in a tunnel during the night for about an hour. I saw rows of huge trees lining the road in the middle of the desert where there were no trees, I heard music that wasn’t playing, and I thought something I’m the sky was following me, it was the moon. My concept of time was complete gone. I was able to figure out that it was lack of sleep. But I can see how driving late at night and not sleeping can cause one to really lose touch with reality.
If you had lived in the area where they were abducted you would know there’s an area called UFO alley with the second most documented UFO incidents in the world, featuring the testimony and on duty reports of dozens of police officers. I lived there and there was plenty of horrific shit in the sky and I’m a trained observer. They were an interracial couple who didn’t want to draw attention to themselves and had strong ptsd which cannot be replicated without serious trauma. It’s physically impossible.
Just because you’ve never seen a ufo doesn’t mean you can shoot your mouth off like a fool who has never studied the subject. People join abduction support groups and go to therapists whose specialty is abductions.
Although you might like to think we are galactic rockstars and there’s no one else out there, you are hubristic and short sighted in not studying extremophiles and other rugged forms of life that show that life pervades the cosmos. Life lives inside of rocks with no oxygen sealed inside rocks for eternity and living. Life is found everywhere, even in solid blocks of ice inside glaciers.
I have seen horrific things in the sky in UFO alley with dozens of witnesses. Sending us running to the car and flooring it for miles to get to where people are and to get inside. There’s a world you are ignorant of and the British and American governments have already declassified not only UFO sightings by on duty military officers but video footage and thermal imaging footage. You are way behind the times. They also have disclosed the existence of exotic technology not from this earth and declassified the rendelsham forest incident where and entire rotation of on duty personnel physically touched an alien craft in Britain and inspected it and took notes, and had interactions with multiple craft over two separate nights starting in December 26,1980. You also are ignorant of the government disclosing that UFOs intercepted live nuclear missile tests on video and disarmed the warheads while flying at 17,000 mph in lower space and then shut down nuclear missile bases all across the Midwest repeatedly for years. You don’t read.
How bout the Russians who already had first contact in Voronezh and Saint Petersburg during a 2 year period of activity, i which time nearly 800 people interacted with extraterrestrials and a robot in close proximity. The Russian government contacted the US because it was so serious and because of tight asses like you, the US didn’t take Russians investigation seriously.
@@markcaristi7261 love what you wrote! Hope you post it in the main thread.
base on story they dint travel that far from point A to incident .
What i don't understand. Was. The ET s asking what's age .and what planet is this when in reality they know it all.
Born in Exeter NH, so I'm very familiar with the ufo phenomenon, and the B&BH incident - and I've never heard the dog mentioned. You've gone into incredible detail. I didn't know I could learn more about this incident! Great job.
Maybe you could get an interview with those kidnapping aliens?... :-)
I lived in and went to a few years of school at Lincoln Elementary in Exeter! Fond memories of that town. We used to go swimming on the coast.
@@american_cosmic yeah, we have a UFO festival every year now! Search it up online.
New Hampshire has had a number of intriguing ufo incidents over the years.
Several years after the alleged abduction of the Hills, there were a number of sightings in Exeter, NH, where a teenaged guy and two policemen observed a hovering ufo at close range.
In addition, in Goffstown, NH in 1973, a local resident observed two apparent ufo occupants, walking in front of his house and gathering plants and other items.
PS In the book, “Captured,” authors Kathleen Marden (Betty’s niece) and the late Stanton Friedman wrote that Betty Hill had told them that the ETs smelled like marigolds, an unpleasant smelling flower. Maybe Betty should have told those ETs, that they might want to try some Ban Deodorant the next time they abducted someone?
The dog deserved better credits than "hiding". I think they should have altered the interracial deal - w/Betty being Black ('Black Betty- Bam-A-Lam Whaoh, Black Betty') as it sounds better & it's accurate in a few 'short' years by Ram Jam though was first by Leadbelly & Barney: Fife (as well as the other example given: Rubble, Esq. The title to be granted by the Knights of Malta later on.
I just became aware of your Excellent Channel, and Instantly Subscribed... Thank You for sharing your content with us. I Thoroughly Appreciate & Enjoy the helpful recourse of the topics, which you have Wonderfully put together with a Professional Current Of Flow... Also, Thank You for covering these, (UFO) encounters, which desire as much insightful light of bipartisanship shown upon them, now more that ever... You do so well with your video content, and covering them with unbiased reflective recall... Thank You Again !!!!
One of the very first abduction cases I ever read about. The detail you give is incredible! I thought i knew everything about this encounter... Thank you for sharing this fascinating case with us.
Remember that omelette we ate at Colborn that night? It was an OK omelette but the mushrooms didn't taste right.
Amazing job, you broke it down in detail with a very rational and logical mindset with no spooky music or theatrics, I really appreciate that, keep up the great work!
"Through interbreeding, they are seeking to establish a human being who will be part of their association yet who can survive within your world and who can have a natural affinity with the world. Your visitors cannot live on the surface of your world. They must either seek shelter underground, which they are doing, or they must live aboard their own craft, which they often keep hidden in large bodies of water."~ A quote from The Allies of Humanity Briefings
Wow! Thank you
Went through many of the so much-liked comments, but yours is the only one that really makes sense to me. Thanks for sharing. I will try to find these briefings,
Thanks for sharing.
@@neilfox4464 Go read these four books for free online just search *The Allies of Humanity Briefings* . They are from races in the universe that managed to keep there individual freedom alive in there worlds. They share there wisdom and perspective in these briefings.
Ah, yes, hybrids.
The aliens more likely would be like ‘Who gave you permission to use the technology and biological material that you stole from our fallen aircrafts and crews? It’s quite hard for us to communicate with such a unintelligent and savage species like you, but we have read the book most quoted on your planet. We will skip the first nine episodes which you are perfectly capable of inflicting upon yourselves and go straight to the first- born one. As you say, “Let my people go”. By the way, Ancient Egyptians were our most successful attempt at seeding civilisation amongst you. We will free and retrieve these hybrids and let you to self- destroy. The planet will be cleaned, restored, and reused in a new attempt to create intelligent life forms in that space- time allotment. Over’.
Well if it really did occur, it's reasonable to believe that Betty if she suffered radiation or other types of things that touched her may have effected her mind, and memory and at some point could explain he loosing touch with reality to some point.
Or she gained some insight that we don't understand.
As a retired law enforcement officer of 44 years I have found many actual and factually things after looking at a crime scene or other stories told me of rational people that didn't appear rational at all in the beginning but later on did.
Other times did not.
I always kept an open mind and considered all the normal possibilities and jump out of the shoebox often to find the truth if it could be found.
I never bring criticism, simply because I don't understand something. I find out all I can and pan for gold...the golden nuggets of truth. And run things through the mill and only then do I offer a criticism of a constructive type or I say it's a no go based on factually correct evidence..
If I can not get to the facts then I say it appears more one way than the other but no certainty
This was brilliant. I hope you do more ufo stories like this 👍
i am not usually spooked or shaken by alien abduction stories, but this story has me SHOOK! i actually felt moments of terror while listening.
For real. Especially when she asked how will they find her and they laughed saying they can find anyone if they want to.
You scared to death and scared to look..you SHOOK 😵
Yeah this guy is good 😁
Wait until you watch the movie with james earl jones and estelle parsons- under hypnosis james earl jones recalls the incident and his acting is so great and terrifying as he’s reliving it 😮😮😳😱its more horrifying and scary than any horror movie because you can tell how traumatized and frightened he is
Don't be spooked .I find it odd they just happen to have binoculars in their car.i guess I need to start carrying a pair too smh
I laughed at the idea that without knowing where Earth is it's pointless to know where the Alien is from. The alien should have been able to point both to their current (ish) location (Earth) as well as their origin, on the map in front of them
We still use paper maps?
Doesn't it make sense to present a stranger with technology their familiar with?
As far as his answer... just sounds like anyone else who doesn't want to answer a question
Yes don’t present strangers with technology they’re not familiar with. Btw, come aboard our crazy futuristic ship and look at all this crazy stuff we have! We can speak fluent English and can understand you perfectly yet we don’t know what a “year” is. The story doesn’t make sense because it’s a product of a different time.
My girlfriend grew up and lives down the street from where the abduction took place in NH. It's a famous local legend
I'm from old Hampshire
I read the first book when i was very young. Im guessing around 12 years old. I was so impressed by the story, I somehow obtained a contact for Betty Hill and wrote a letter to her telling her how much i enjoyed the book. She wrote back to me! I wish I had it. It was a long time ago. I'm 64 now but that book sparked my interest and curiosity all through my life.
I love this.
Do you remember by any chance what she said to you or close to it?
No, but I think she thanked me for my interest, and it had some information regarding an upcoming speaker event. I'm not sure if she knew my age at the time. I was happy and surprised I received a response.
@@WalterDavidRiffmon That's nice she responded to you
Masterfully done. Thank you to our host for this presentation
An inventive tale from the mind of a lifelong UFO fanatic. Despite the best efforts of authors to bolster it with mischaracterized or exaggerated evidence,
You clearly don't know what you're talkin about my guy
Even the star chart 😂
I think the context of the time period they lived in is more important to this story than discussed in this video. They were an interracial couple in America in 1961. Is it possible that they were victims of government experimentation? We know that for a fact that the FBI sent threatening letters to Martin Luther King jr years after this incident, trying to get him to unalive himself. This incident fits within the time period of MKUltra experiments by the CIA. Maybe someone was following them and slipped LSD into their food or drinks at the diner they stopped at.
Love listening to Dr. Evil telling these stories
I’m looking for someone to comment that he sounds exactly like the guy with the Shia LaBeouf song. Like, I’m pretty sure it’s him but I don’t see anything about it
Keep doing these documentaries please, you have a great voice! 👍
Knew about this story but never heard it so detailed. Thanks for this video.
I used to work safety with a guy in North Charleston, South Carolina at Detyens Shipyard for a coatings subcontractor who was originally from New Hampshire. Barney and Betty Hill were his babysitters growing up. When he told us, that was the first time I’d ever heard of the couple. I just happened to come across this video, and it sparked my memory from a few years back when he told us this at work. I’ll have to reconnect with him to verify that this was the couple, but I recall the conversation well and I don’t know of anyone else it could be. Very interesting stuff.
Good lord this is well researched. please make more videos on the UFO subject in this vein
As always with FoL productions, this was detailed, but never boring. Thank you.
Nice one Justin, glad to see you active again (by the way I just realized YT didn't recommend me your last 3 videos, I thought this was your first one in multiple months)
The one thing that always made me skeptical of this story is that the aliens, although possibly 1000's of years more advanced then humans, are carrying around books.....unlikely
Also they would have ran across humans by now
Here's something interesting to consider. A lifeform that evolved around another star may not share our same band of visible light, dogs evolved here, are mammals like us, and see in a different method using only two colors. Insects can see UV light. There is little reason to suspect that the colors an alien civilization used would appear uniform to us, in a similar way that parts of your clothes glow under a black light and others don't.
That is interesting man. Thank you for sharing
Love minds like yours! Definitely needed when talking science. For sure
Thank you both for the kind comments
I’ve been waiting for this! Thank-you so much and I wholeheartedly believe the hills!! Im subbing as well.
you should make more of these, you are really good at telling creepy stories
Well done. What about the Ariel School incident in 1994? We are not alone and we were visited many times. I am convinced of that.
It sounds like poor Betty lost the plot...it's unfortunate, credibility is everything. Thanks for another great video ✌🏾
Great video, his case has always fascinated me because, while I don't personally think aliens have visited us, I do believe something happened to them that night and the alien invasion may have been a way for them to cope with it.
Also, the footage you used of the grey alien turning towards the camera actually spooked me a little lol
I think they got attacked by the KKK or some other racists
All of mankind's ancient religious texts, around the globe, speak of the "Watchers" that we've been encountering for thousands of years... they're painted on the walls of the caves we used to live in. I think there is a good bit of circumstantial evidence to suggest that humans have been interacting with these "Watchers" for a very long time. And assuming for sake of discussion that they are real, we don't even know what they are... they may NOT be aliens.
Is demonic
@@albusai There is no evidence of that, biblical or otherwise.
There is a theory that it's the feds that abduct people and implant memories of alien abduction like MK ultra
Brilliant pod cast , really enjoyed that 😊
Nice work, this is a fascinating story🛸👽
I feel bad for Barney. He was obviously troubled by severe anxiety. It seems like his environment (i.e., stigma surrounding his marriage, being overqualified for his job, his wife being overbearing and excitable) only made it worse.
Yes there seems to be a problems with the man being the only black person in his town at that time definitely made him paranoid some mental problems here
I recall hearing about this case years ago - it was said they were well liked and respected in the community despite the mixed marriage.
Oh dear, beware of those "overbearing" wives!
In Portsmouth in those days, while there were Black sailors and Airmen on the bases , if any one noticed he would have been more of a curiosity than anything else
I hope that if alien abductions have happened, the aliens turn out to be pleasant conversationalists with whom we can interact and understand one another on basic levels. Thank you for another fascinating and spooky tale.
God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)
😂😂😂but humanns are not pleasant conversationalists 😂😂😂😂😂 we are complete savages with stupid politics
They pity us for being so primitive they're not gonna have a conversation with monkeys
Humans are doing the abductions, the aliens are harmless
There is no god get real
@@Joseph-fw6xx What makes you think there's no God?
@@Joseph-fw6xxbut every time something doesn't go your way or something wrong happens you say oh my God or Jesus Christ I'm sure you use it so if you don't believe in him do not do not forsaken him don't use him and doubly when you're in trouble don't pray to him when you need him because to you he doesn't exist
The later years of Betty's life and she saying every light was a UFO? Could have been a half a life time of being scrutinized and mocked she might have had what a lot of soldiers have, but I can't remember the name of it right now.
I love the detail you have provided thank you
small tip: it's pronounced "portsmith" even though it's written "-mouth". This goes for any such town name in the US or England: Yarmouth, Dartmouth, Portsmouth etc. Other than that, great deep dive into the Betty and Barney Hill case!
In England it's pronounced Ports-muff , Yarmuff.
@@classifiedtopsecret4664 That's because of wooden dentures, also used by the aliens back in the 60's.
Ports smith....... I don't think so mush larf at loud It's Portsmuff
Thanks!
Italians pronounce it as Porte-moo-thee 🤌
This man is born investigator 👍👍
Nice work man
Great content man
Absolutely love this video. Fantastic work. Hope we continue to see more famous ufo/uap/beings sightings/ interactions/abduction case videos from you
Neutral and very informative. A real journalist's work. I got me subscribing to your channel.
Love the no nonsense videos my friend keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Yes! I love the Campfire-Myths and Legends series!
Apparently, I read their story long ago enough that I'd forgotten a lot so I found this absolutely fascinating.
FOL, Incredibly well put together analysis. Thank you!!!
This happened not far enough away for me😱☺️ Such a beautiful state! Aww the Old Nan of the Mountain was AWESOME! It has now eroded and slipped off but as a kid we’d vacation in NH. Huuuge tourist attraction when you vowed the mountain from a certain way up on top of the side of this Rocky Mountain is was the profile of an old man, almost like an Indian! It was so cool, brings back beautiful childhood family vacation memories 🙏🥰
I’d be jealous if there’s an alien asking me “what is age? What is time?”
It's odd that this happened to one of the very rare interracial couples who were both Air Force. That's the only skepticism I have.
Very thorough and very accurate. Nice job!
I've heard this story my entire life, the first time I was a kid. Over the decades bits and pieces of their story revealed. This is the first full Hill experience from top to bottom I have heard. It took decades, but well worth it. ((Thank you for your diligent research.))
This is a great story. I love how casual and seemingly colloquial the aliens supposedly were - like they would fly to a bar after the experiments and have a beer with you... 🍺👽🤘🛸
That would be nice😊
The dentures part, they were very interested. It was a whole experience listening to this. Thank you for this video 😊
excellent video - very worthwhile watching - well grounded and detailed . . . 😊
Great to see this story getting new attention. This is a truly amazing story.
No mention of the strong, strong, strong resemblance to suppressed/retrieved memories of childhood nocturnal sexual abuse. This has been noted about alien abduction since - as an explanation for a fairly common belief in abduction, the isolation and embarrassment about it, the typical scenarios of utter helplessness and omnipotent beings, the ambivalent feelings about abductors and the damaging liberties they typically take with privacy and intimacy, often the story is that abduction has been repeated and started during childhood creating a "marked" person in diverse ways. Relational/sexual difficulties, being bullied, disbelieved, sexually exploited or self-exploiting-self-destructive behaviours, unexplained pregnancies, very, very nasty accounts of "disappeared" foetuses, called a "nutter" for eccentricities etc. are typical but - not always. Criminal psychopathic repetition happens too but - not always. Some seem to be more or less unscathed.
The idea of being sought or "chosen as suitable" by abducting aliens is also a hallmark. Those that have been abused in infancy have "buttons" that can be pushed to render them helpless whereas a tiny grey man made of pasta messing with a different adult would soon find him/herself carted off to the zoo and probably have a new a*sehole as well.
That's a very, very difficult thing. One would not (I hope) suggest to an abductee that they are really screen memories of their family but the similarities are very, very striking and impossible to rule out as an explanation. The "Dracula" with his evil power to seduce also looks like an allegory for inescapable sexual abuse by a trusted and loved one. A horror story that resonates everywhere in much the same way.
Such abuse isn't easily quantified. Sigmund Freud was one of the earliest to suggest that it is much, much more common than anyone wants to believe and it's since understood to be hidden by shame, undeserved guilt and suppression of memory until (often) into middle or later life - many abused literally not knowing until well into adulthood - and the surrounding unwillingness to acknowledge it.
So far, alien abduction isn't revealing very much evidence at all. That's significant and would suggest other explanations. Freud was urged not to publish his findings that sexual abuse of children isn't rare. Today, we can check with country-wide self-help groups and various national resources. It's a socially significant incidence.
Wow 👏 fantastic way of retelling the story I also like the visual 😮 new subscriber 🎉
Justin, this was incredible .
Wow, she was so nuts I dont know who I feel more sorry for...Barney or the aliens!
Great documentary.👍 The skeptic in me questions why the ship is all so human, as if designed or imagined by us. It has tables, stools, ladders and levers, and they use syringes, wear jackets and even have books.
Thank you for this excellent account of the Hills' case. I learned some details of which I was unaware, which paint the story in a very different light. Great presentation, balanced and informative - therefore, what on Earth are you doing on CZcams?!? 😉
Please do more like this. Rendalsham Forest!
I really like the variety here too.
Just last night I was looking at the success of your skinwalker video thinking he should do more like this and then boom here we are
Thanks for the like @Fire of Learning
If you could do a video on these recent Navy reports David fravors encounter
Or look into what leading Dr Garry Nolan is currently reporting on with abductees I think you’d enjoy regardless of making a vid on it!
This is very legit stuff Harvard astronomers government agencies giving media figureheads contacts within the UFOsphere that hold high office
I've been on that same route many times over the years. It's a very ominous stretch of road. Especially when driving at night. Particularly the area near the "Old man of the mountain" I always got weird vibes goin thru that part of N.H. Not sure why.
Have you always known about the story and think that's why or maybe there's an unusual amount of energy like magnetic waves or something sounds like there's definitely some sort of energy in that area that raises the hair on ppls necks
I drive the route often when driving back home to visit. I always feel strange going through Thorton. It's not unusual to see no cars for miles.
A very underrated channel.
2 reasons I believe this story is, Betty and Barney were an interracial couple in 1961, when it was illegal in over 31 states and was very frowned upon and even dangerous in some parts, so why would they want to draw even more negative attention onto themselves. In fact, there relationship was even less common, as it was usually a white man and black woman that were more common in interracial relationships. The second reason I believe them is, on top of the risk of being persecuted, they also could have easily been put in the looney bin, and it would have been prejudice too. I just think there were more risks and that it wouldn’t have been worth it if it were fake.
This is quite interesting! I’m not someone who seeks out anything related to space or extra terrestrials, but this held my attention after it autoplayed from my last video. I personally don’t believe that advanced beings are secretly visiting us. I do believe there’s life out there though. Either way this was entertaining to think about! Great video.
Him: “We won’t tell anyone about this.”
Her: “Okay. ……but my girlfriends at work aren’t just anyone!”
On the subject of the star map , it seems like all the studies of the stars were from the perspective of looking out from our solar system . What if it’s from the perspective of their solar system or place in the galaxy ?
One part of this story is a little off; regarding the map, their origin location- it was noted they communicated Zeta Reticuli as their system.
My cousin arrived home one afternoon while his house was being broken into. The thieves’ car was out front. Not knowing he was being robbed he thought nothing of a car there, and didn’t even think he’d gotten a good look at it. He pulled into the driveway which went behind the house and opened the garage door. As he did so the thieves ran out the front. Under hypnosis, he was not only able to remember the color, make and model of the car, but the license plate as well, which he wasn’t even sure he saw. The thieves were caught.
