On September 20, 1961, Betty and Barney Hill were driving through the White Mountains of New Hampshire when they said a bright light came out of the sky. Two hours later, they were back in their driveway, with no memory of what had happened or where they had been.According to their subsequent reports, the couple had traveled to Zeta Reticuli a star system 39 light years from Earth. Betty was even inexplicably able to draw an accurate, detailed map of the sky as seen from that star.This was the first noteworthy alien abduction story in modern history. Their tale captivated a nation that had scarcely heard anything like it before. And in the years that followed, countless other tales of alien and UFO abductions emerged, each containing new details of grotesque otherworldly creatures.In 1971, there was the Pascagoula incident which allegedly saw two fishermen taken from a riverbank in Mississippi and held captive aboard an alien ship. Then, in 1978, there was the Travis Walton abduction, during which a Texas man vanished for five whole days.While there has yet to be any proof that these first-hand accounts are real, the nine alien stories below are certainly detailed enough to cause chills.Barney And Betty Hills Alien Abduction Story Started It AllUniversal History Archive/UIG via Getty ImagesBarney and Betty Hill were an American couple who claimed to have been abducted by aliens.Barney and Betty Hill took a spontaneous trip to the White Mountains of New Hampshire in September 1961. As he recounted in John G. Fullers The Interrupted Journey from 1966, Barney needed a break from his night shift at the post office, while Betty was mentally exhausted from handling state child-welfare cases. On the last night of their makeshift honeymoon, the two found themselves in a Vermont diner ready to make the last dash home to Portsmouth, New Hampshire. By leaving at 10 p.m., they planned on arriving home by around 2 a.m.On the road, Betty noticed a particularly bright star, perhaps a planet in the sky. When this celestial object began changing its course in an erratic manner, Betty was convinced it was a UFO. Her husband was not.Barney, she said. If you think thats a satellite or a star, youre being completely ridiculous.As the object drew closer, Barney pulled the car to a stop and, gun in hand, got out to investigate. As he approached the object, Barney saw what he would later describe as a pancake-like disc, glowing with brilliant white light that was about the size of a jet. Fleeing back to his car, he and Betty tried to evade the vessel, but were instead overcome with an intense drowsiness and immediately fell unconscious. The couple pulled into their driveway around dawn unable to recall what had happened two hours of memory seemed to have been wiped from both their minds.Bettmann/Getty ImagesBarney and Betty Hill describe their UFO abduction story using a diagram Barney drew.While Betty was convinced they had encountered a UFO and later reported the sighting to the Air Force, her husband was skeptical. It was only when the couple met with psychiatrist Dr. Benjamin Simon for a consultation in December 1963 that Barney changed his mind. Dr. Simon found both to be suffering from crippling anxiety. Betty, in particular, manifested hers in the form of repetitive, nightmarish dreams. Dr. Simon then put them under hypnosis which reportedly yielded highly ominous memories.Barney Hill recalled creatures with slanted eyes taking the couple aboard their UFO to conduct experiments on their naked bodies. Barney claimed that the beings took samples of hair, skin, and nail clippings and then a six-inch-long needle was inserted into Bettys stomach.Betty told Dr. Simon that she later asked a being they knew to be the leader where they were. It jokingly replied, If you dont know where you are, there wouldnt be any point in telling you where I am. During another hypnosis session in 1964, Betty purportedly drew a star map of the sky from memory as seen from a planet orbiting the star Zeta Reticuli.Most shocking above all was that this map was drawn with confounding accuracy and that Zeta Reticuli lies some 40 light years from Earth. Bettys nearly spot-on recreation of the stars surrounding an actual star system remains one of the most intriguing aspects of all alien stories ever reported.Ultimately, Barney and Betty Hills account led the Air Force to launch Project Blue Book a shadowy initiative that aimed to investigate domestic UFO sightings and also presented a template for all the UFO abduction stories that followed in the decades to come. Famous Alien Stories: The 1969 Berkshires UFO IncidentBryan Pocius/FlickrAbout 40 people in the Berkshires witnessed a UFO in 1969.When numerous residents of Berkshire County, Massachusetts individually reported having seen a UFO on Sept. 1, 1969, authorities were at a loss for an explanation. This wasnt a lone sighting induced by sleep deprivation that could be easily dismissed it truly appeared as though something uncanny had occurred.On the evening in question, residents spotted lights above Sheffield in the southern Berkshires. Many of the witnesses said that the lights were fitted to an unidentified, disk-shaped craft that was maneuvering in unprecedented ways. Some witnesses claimed they lost track of time as they gazed with stunned fascination at the object.Thomas Reed was nine years old at the time. In the car with his mother, brother, and grandmother that night, the family noticed a group of glowing orbs dash out of the roadside trees. Reed claims that something astounding happened when, heading home, his family approached Sheffield Bridge.It came to a stop off the right side of the road, he recalled of the glowing orbs. Everything got really calm. It was like being in the middle of a hurricane. There was like a barometric change in pressure. It was just like a dead silence. Then there was an eruption of crickets and frogs and it got really loud and that was it.Then, the family suddenly found itself back in the car. But they had inexplicably lost two hours of memory. Stranger still, Reeds mother and grandmother had somehow switched car seats.bbcamericangirl/FlickrA monument was erected near the covered bridge in Sheffield, where residents said they saw the UFO.Despite any tangible evidence of the Berkshires UFO incident, Reed has remained steadfast in his account. He said over time the family regained some memory of the incident, including having been inside a hangar-like facility with other people.We encountered something, said Reed. It was definitely not of this world This hangar thing we were in was huge. It was larger than a football field. This hallway we had seen was circular with a Y-configuration almost to control the flow of traffic. This one room had a bowed-in wall that was rounded.Its important to remember that Reed was only one of dozens of people who reported witnessing a UFO in the Sheffield area that night. Some were adults who called into the local radio station to report the sighting, others were children who began drawing UFOs in class. There must have been 20 or 30 sketches that were drawn by children in our 4th grade class from what they saw, said Reed. They hung underneath in the class board in Sheffield Center School. More than one of those hang in the Roswell museum today. People dont realize the significance of this. And so it wasnt just us.The post The 9 Most Convincing Alien Abductions In Modern History appeared first on All That's Interesting.
