BETTY HILL

Okay, the experience itself was a pleasant experience.

So actually we didn't have any contacts with UFO organizations. It was all strictly government.

On the third stage is used for medicine, it is not known to the public.

Only medical hypnosis is capable of opening up amnesia.

I don't know if we even mentioned UFOs. It was to find out why Barney was emotionally upset.

The first person who contacted us was the assistant to President Eisenhower... in the White House.

Everybody's over here to make money for themselves.

Vote Smart has sent out thirty thousand questionnaires to every candidate running for office.

So that they can actually make it known to the American people before they vote what they're voting for.

I mean you might say he had a travelling post office, but also Barney was very, very active. He was a legal officer for the NAACP and they had a lot of problems after Pease.

Now back in those days, to become a rural mail carrier you had to be approved by congress.

So it's sheer terror, but then, this is the whole reason that we went so long to Doctor Simons, was to get rid of all these... mixed feelings that we had.

I was single for six years and during those six years I went back to college and got my degree in Social Work and then... while I was single... Barney came here to Portsmouth on vacation.

Meanwhile I married and I adopted three kids who were all from one family and then later I was divorced.

I'm a member of the US committee o the United Nations.

A week or so ago I did a two hour book review in Baltimore Maryland.

I was on the state board of directors of the American Civil Liberties Union.

They came out over the highway and they stopped and that's when Barney got out, with the binoculars to try and identify the craft. I mean, he'd been in the military in World War Two, he's puzzled.

Actually, actually, when he first put us into hypnosis, he didn't know what he was going to get.

By the time we went to Doctor Simon I think Barney had been totally disabled for at least six months.

There were two hours that couldn't be accounted for.

You can't recover memories of a missing event. That's a fallacy.

And I'm walking along and we're laughing, kidding, joking, and see he understood the leader, the one we called the leader, had some knowledge of English, although limited.

From that night on, wherever Barney and I went UFOs paced us.

When they first grabbed us, yeah, it terrified, but they calmed me down.
