(shimmering, otherworldly music)

- [Woman] You know, it was Route Three.

And we're off Route Three, and
we've been on every single-

- [Man] Side road, dirt road,
dead end, and there's no road,

there's no clearing, nothing.

- Of course there is.

We just haven't found it yet.

(shimmering, otherworldly music)

- Left or right?

- I don't know, let's try right.

- I saw the thing, I know I saw the thing.

If my best friend told me he'd seen i,

I'd say he was crazy.

- Barney, there have been UFO sightings

all over New Hampshire.

Are you saying they're all
nuts, all those people?

- Maybe, yeah, maybe.

It's crazy to keep coming back here.

It's like a compulsion,
like some of those people

you deal with at work,
compulsive gamblers,

compulisive wife beaters.

- What does that make
us, compulsive travelers?

What's so bad about that?

- Because we only travel to Indian Head,

we only travel Route Three,

looking for a road that doesn't exist.

How many times have we
been back here, Betty?

Seven, eight times, and we always end up

exhausted and fighting each other.

I don't wanna fight with you, Betty.

- Let's not come back.

Let's just decide not
to come back again ever.

- (sighs) But-

- But we will, you know.
- We will, you know.

- Oh, it's funny how we do that,

saying the same thing at the same time.

(gentle music)

(dog barks)

- Just a little tolerance,
that's all I ask.

(gently dramatic music)

(tense music)

(Betty screams)

- Barney, let me out!

Stop, let me out!

No, don't stop!

(eerie, exciting music)

Keep going, Barney, no,
don't stop, keep going!

- [Man] Hey, hey, hey!

- [Man] Come on, let's
go get 'em, come on!

(dramatic, tense music)

- I saw the moon sitting on the ground.

- That was a dream, Betty.

- The men in the road, I
saw the men in the road.

And then I saw the moon
sitting on the ground.

- Dreams are dreams
and reality is reality.

We almost smashed up this
car because you had a dream.

(tense music)
(Betty pants)

- Don't do that, Barney, please.

Don't shut me out.

Talk to me, tell me what you feel.

- I feel that your dreams
are dreams and that reality.

(horn honks)
(tense music)

(men shout)

(tense music)

- Is that reality?

That every dumb kid in a leather
jacket is out to harm you?

- What are you talking about?

I wasn't scared, you were.

- Oh, don't do that, Barney.

You were, too, I saw your face before.

And just now.

- I was brought up to
be careful, remember?

It's like an old, scratched, broken record

playing inside of me, "Be
careful, kid, or they'll kill ya."

- Marrying me wasn't being
very careful, was it?

(soft music)

- I love you so much,
I forgot to be careful.

First time in my life, threw out careful.

(soft, gentle music)

- Barney, what are we gonna do?

- How do I know this thing happened?

How do I know I wasn't just seeing things?

I'm in this terrible position
where I know it happened,

but I can't get myself to believe i,

and it's bugging me so much that my ulcers

are kicking up again, just
when they were getting better.

It's worse than that.

I'm trying to minimize.

I was out of work for
six months on disability,

and the doctor said I was suffering

from complete physical
exhaustion, anxiety.

And Betty, Betty was
having those nightmares,

sudden fears out of nowhere.

Things that are really not like Betty.

She's so calm.

- And it's been almost two
years since the experience?

- Yes.

I keep trying to remember
what happened, where we were.

There's a whole area that's lost.

36 miles between the time
we saw the UFO or whatever

and when we heard the beeps.

- Now Concord's about
where you heard the beeps?

- It was a beeping sound.

Beep, beep, beep.

(mysterious beeping)

Is there something shifting in the car?

- [Betty] I don't know.

(mysterious beeping)

- Uh oh, do you think
that thing is back again?

(mysterious beeping)

- How strange.

- Wait a minute.

I wonder if I can make
the car do that myself.

(tires screech)

- It was at this moment, the beeping,

when your memory returned?

It's the time previous to
this that you can't remember?

- [Barney] Yes, Dr. Simon, that's right.

- I see.

- We go back there, weekends, holidays,

whenever we get a chance.

We were just there a couple of days ago.

- [Dr. Simon] To Indianhead, you mean.

- Yes, trying to find...

Sort of woke up from a
daze and saw this sign,

"Concord, 17 miles."

- [Betty] Suddenly, Concord.

It was so strange.

(mysterious music)

- [Dr. Simon Voiceover]
Barney and Betty Hill.

Began general history of
their anxiety problems

and amnesia highlighted
by their claimed sighting

of a UFO at Indianhead two years ago.

The Hills' clearest memory is their return

home from the UFO sighting experience.

Treatment is to be centered
on their anxiety reaction,

with their apparent amnesia.

Unidentified flying
object, secondary matter.

Major job is to determine
treatment of patients

in overcoming this unique
case of double amnesia,

most probably by means of hypnosis.

(mysterious music)

- Barney.

Barney, did you bring
the clothes in the house?

- [Barney] What?

- The clothes, did you bring them in?

- [Barney] No, I was too tired.

I'll bring all that stuff in tomorrow.

- I don�t want you to bring
the clothes in the house.

- About the clock, you said
you glanced up at the clock

'�cause you were undressing.

Did you see the time?

- I saw that it was five after five.

Didn't register.

I don't think Barney realized it, either.

Neither one of us
realized til months later

that it was that late.

(clock ticking)

Wasn't that strange,
Barney, whatever it was?

(clock ticking)

- [Barney] Tops of my shoes are scuffed.

- What?

- Tops of my shoes are scuffed.

(clock ticking)

- I don't understand, how can that be?

- I don't know.

(clock ticking)

- Now, Mr. Hill, when you
woke up the next morning,

did you experience any particular
discomfort on your groin?

- No.

It was there.

I could, just had a feeling,

but there was no pain or anything.

- Well, how much later was
it that the warts appeared?

- Oh, two months, I guess,
before they actually appeared,

before I actually saw them.

I had a feeling before
they actually appeared.

- You went to the doctor
and he diagnosed it,

and, by means of electrolysis,

he was able to get rid of them?

- [Barney] Yes, sir.

- And you haven't any
trouble with them since?

- No, I haven't.
- I see.

Now, please, continue.

(clock ticking)

- Betty, I don't wanna talk

to anybody about last night, all right?

- All right.

I guess.

- If you wanna talk about it,

we can just talk about it to ourselves.

(clock ticking)

- But we can't just not
talk about it, you know.

- I know that.

I wanna talk about it to you.

I don't like feeling
alone with this thing.

- You're not alone with it, love.

How could you be?

(clock ticking)

(clock ticking)

You're not alone with it, love.

How could you be?

We wondered about it
and we talked about it

and then I asked Barney if he thought

we could draw what we saw,

and he didn't wanna do that.

- But Betty found a
way to talk me into it.

- I'm good at that.

And then when the drawings were identical,

well, Barney thought
they were only similar,

I wanted to call my sister,

and Barney didn't want me to do that.

He got angry.

And then when she wanted me to check

for radiation, Barney got really upset.

Where's the compass, where's the compass?

- [Barney] I don't know what
you're talking about, Betty.

- The compass, the compass,
where's the compass?

- I don't know where it is.

How am I supposed to know
where the compass is?

- [Betty] Thanks a lot,
Barney, you're a big help.

- It's in the drawer where it always is!

Why don't you look before you ask?

It's always there in the same place!

Betty!

Listen, I think you're getting too excited

about all this, and I
think you better calm down.

I think we just better
forget about all this.

- Barney, would you please come outside

and look at the back of the car

and see what happens to this compass?

Janet says that a compass
works like a Geiger counter,

and If the car has any radiation-

- Oh, Betty, it's all so ridiculous.

A car is made out of metal and any metal

would attract the compass.

- The compass just went
crazy near the trunk,

the spare tire, not near the battery

or where you'd expect it to.

And there were these strange shiny spots

on the back of the car.

I finally got Barney to
come out and look at them.

- I figured if I humored her
and looked, she'd calm down.

- Did the spots stay on the car?

- No, no, they disappeared.

- They didn't disappear.

At least, not right away.

What happened is that
when I had the car washed,

they stayed.

- [Dr. Simon] All right, let's go on.

- Janet, it went crazy.

Yes, the compass, and
there are strange spots

on the back of the car.

I couldn't call anybody.

They'd laugh at me.

No, I'd be embarrassed, and Barney,

Barney and I decided not to
tell anyone, not anyone else.

- [Dr. Simon] Were you
able to deal with that,

to live with that?

- Yes.

Well, yes and no.

You see, so much of our life was so happy.

We'd only been married about a year,

and so many things were
new, especially for Barney.

- [Dr. Simon] Why especially for Barney?

- Well, the only change in my life

was that I was married to Barney.

I lived in the house
where I'd lived for years.

I had the same job and the same friends.

But for Barney, for Barney,
everything was different.

He lived in Philadelphia in what

was really an all black society,

and here, in Portsmouth, it's pretty much

an all white society.

It wasn't just a new marriage for Barney.

It was a whole new life, new friends.

Barney makes friends so easily.

Our best friends, they were
Jack and Lucy MacRainey.

JackK's a Lieutenant Colonel
at the Pease Air Force Base,

and he and Barney just hit it off.

I knew Barney wanted to
tell Jack about what we saw.

He kept putting it off.

- [Barney] But I finally came out with it,

the sighting, If it was a sighting.

It was still gnawing away at me.

- The sighting itself?

- No, whether or not there was a sighting

and whether or not I was,
we were, seeing things.

And Jack just confirmed my suspicion.

He said in so many words that anyone

that said they saw a UFO was nuts.

- It made things worse.

You know, they were our best friends.

They were around all the time.

We could talk to them about
anything, anything at all,

except UFOs.

That subject was just plain taboo.

And those terrible dreams were starting.

- Had you told Barney
about your dreams yet?

(dog barks)

- I'd mentioned them.
(dog barks)

He had so little time.

Barney was working nights in Boston.

A 60-mile drive back and forth.

(dog barks)

Except for weekends, we were
sort of passing in the hallway.

It's the moon, you idiot.

What are you barking at the moon for?

- [Dr. Simon] I imagine they
were long nights for you.

It was hard on you.

- Very long.

I keep saying this, though, you know,

that we were having so much fun.

Barney had joined the Toastmasters

�cause he thought he
couldn't speak in public.

(chuckles) He found out
he could. (chuckles)

Then he found out he
could make people laugh.

The house was filling up with old jokes

and old routines on records.

- All those of you who
(speaker drowned out by Betty).

- [Betty] He'd spring them at
the worst possible moments.

- Not so fast, Rodriquez.

(people laugh)

(people clap)

- [Betty] Barney, just sit down.

You'll be late.

- Bossy little thing, isn't she?

You'd never know she was
the oldest of five children.

Just grew up bossing everybody.

- Do me a favor, Barney.

Wouldn't you really like to sit down?

(dog barks)

- [Barney] Call off your
dog, bossy! (chuckles)

- [Betty] Then just like
that, it would change,

everything would get terrible.

Like that night.

Jack and Lisa were having their problems.

Lisa knew we thought
we had seen something.

- Somehow we got onto Barry Goldwater.

Goodness only knows how we
got onto Barry Goldwater.

I heard myself saying,

you know, the trouble
with you white people,

the trouble with you white people-

- Don't call me "you white people.�

Don't ever call me "you white people!�

You can say "those white people,�

but don't include me, Barney Hill.

I'm not white, I'm human.

- Well, I didn't ever say that again.

- No, you dian't.

And then they were getting ready to leave.

Barney, too, because he had to be

at the post office by nine.

And when they all were saying goodnight,

you could've cut the
tension with a hatchet.

- [JFK Voiceover] My fellow citizens,

let no one doubft that this is a difficult

and dangerous effort on
which we have set out.

The path we have chosen for the present

IS full of hazards, but it
is the one most consistent

with our character and
courage as a nation,

and our commitments around the world.

- Then Barney came back, said
he was gonna call in sick.

He was so worried, and
he was just lying there

with this white cloth over
his face to help his headache.

Better?

- Not much.

(clock ticking)

- Barney, I wanna ask you something.

- [Barney] Uh huh.

- I can't, not with that
thing over your eyes.

- (chuckles) It was your idea.

(clock ticking)

- This probably isn't the time, anyway.

But I really wanted to ask you-

- Listen, Betty, I was
just listening to the news-

- Barney, I said I wanted
to ask you something.

- This Is important,
Betty, really important.

If they actually do
start shooting missiles-

- [Betty] Who?

Nobody's gonna start
shooting missiles, Barney.

- If they do and we're not together,

If 'm at work and can't get here,

now, listen to me, what I want you to do

IS make your way to your mother's house,

and I'll manage to get there.

s that clear?

- Yes, yes, sure.

- Good.

(clock ticking)

- Barney, what I wanted to ask you before,

was how come we can talk
about this UFO business

together and wonder what it was together,

but with Janet, with Jack,
it was a plane, period?

- With you, I can look like a fool,

but with my friends, I can't
afford to look like a fool.

(clock ticking)

- I got to hate that washcloth.

More and more, he'd just lie
there with it over his face.

- I just kept calling in sick.

Well, I was sick.

The ulcers, headaches,
it was wearing on me.

I've always been a worrier,

but this Is really
getting out of proportion,

worrying about things that I
didn't have any control over.

I really thought we
were gonna be attacked.

- By whom?

- I don't know.

I thought Russia, but I don't know.

- And were the nightmares
continuing, Betty?

- [Betty] Yes, on and on.

I started writing them down.

I'd get up in the middle
of the night and write

until I was exhausted.

I had done that before.

When things upset me, I
would write them down.

It would help.

- You still have a copy of those dreams?

- Yes, I stuck them away somewhere.

You know, that's funny.

I'd forgotten I wrote them down.

- [Dr. Simon] 'Cause
I'd like a copy of them,

If you don't mind.

- Oh, sure, I'll look for them.

- And it was about this time, Barney,

that you sent to see the doctor,

and he suggested that you take
a rest, take a sick leave?

- Yes, It was about this time.

(chuckles) I just started staying home,

trying to relax, work in the
garden, read, stuff like that.

The kids came more often.

I could see them more often.

They really like Betty.

They got along well with her.

They really loved her.

(chuckles) 'Cause I used
to tease her, right?

I told her that it was
her cooking they loved.

But, anyway, I was just
lying around and reading.

Reading UFO books.

- Hi.
- Hi.

What's the matter, you upset?

- No, I'm not upset, why?

- [Barney] You weren't smiling.

When you came in, you weren't smiling.

- I didn't notice.

- [Barney] I did.

- Well, obviously you
did or you wouldn't be

uptight about it.
- No, I'm not uptight.

Sorry about that.

I'm uptight.

- What about?

- If I knew,

if I knew, I wouldn't be
lying around this house

all day, would I7

I wouldn't be reading these stupid books

until my eyes are falling out, until.

- What?

- Until I think I'm nuts as they are.

When I asked you to marry me,

you said you wanted a
psychiatric evaluation.

Well, don't laugh, you
may have been right.

- Oh, what do you mean??

- I mean that your instincts
may have been right.

You may have sensed something.

- Oh, no, my love, oh,
no, you didn't understand.

It wasn't you I questioned, it was me.

And I couldn't tell you.

- Tell me what?

- I still can't.

- [Barney] Listen, don't you know by now

you can tell me anything?

- I'm not pretty.

- [Barney] Who says?

- Nobody, it's something I know,

something I've always known.

I'm not pretty.

- That's nonsense, and what's it got to do

with a psychiatric evaluation of me?

- Oh, you don't understand.

I was afraid, I was afraid you thought,

you thought you loved me,
you thought I was pretty

because (cries) I was white. (cries)

(Barney laughs)

- Hey, that's like me being
afraid you didn't love me,

you only loved my beautiful black body.

(Betty laughs)

- Well, I do!

- Oh, well, there's that, too.

And you're right, you're not
pretty, you're beautiful.

And I see the whole world, Betty,

I see every bit of
beauty in the whole world

In your face.

- No.
- I see you, Betty.

- And I see you.

Oh, Barney.

This is the way it should be.

This is the way it was.

This is the way it should be.

This is the way it was.

Well, finally, I convinced
him that we had to report it.

- She cried, that's really what did it.

- [Betty] Well, we never did it.

We did call.

- Yeah, yeah.

I wasn't too impressed with
how the Air Force handled it.

But when Wayne Webb from
the Hayden Planetarium

contacted us, then I knew
that Betty was right,

and that we had to tell everything we saw.

(clock ticks)

- No need for you to be concerned.

No need for you to be worried.

You are deeper and deeper asleep.

You are deep asleep.

You will remember everything

and you will tell me everything.

It is now September 19th, 1961.

You will remember everything,
and it won't trouble you.

Your memory Is sharp now.

(tape recorder hums)

I want you to go back to the time

of your vacation in Montreal,

beginning with the time you
left your hotel in Montreal.

- [Barney] Yes.

- I want you to tell me in full detail

all your experiences, all your thoughts,

all your feelings, beginning from the time

you left your hotel.

Now, were you in Montreal?

- It was approximately
112 miles from Montreal.

We were driving from Niagara
Falls through Canada.

- [Dr. Simon] Yes, well, just go on.

Tell me about your arrival there.

- The thoughts that were
going through my mind

was that would they accept me at the motel

because would they say they were filled up

and I was wondering if
they were doing this

because I was prejudiced.

- Because you're prejudiced?

- Because they were prejudiced.

- You run into this a lot, I take it?

- [Barney] I have not actually run

into being denied accommodations yet.

- You mean you worry about it.

- But I know that this does
happen, and I am concerned.

- Did you tell your
wife about your concern?

Does she share it?

- [Barney] I express it,
but she does not share

my concern in this matter.

- Very well, go on.

- We are riding around and I'm lost,

and I'm concerned about
the toll gate, customs.

- [Dr. Simon] Why?

- I have a gun in the trunk
of the car, a .32 pistol,

and it is hidden in the
well of the trunk of the car

with the trunk mat over it.

And I'm thinking, why did I do this?

Why did I bring this gun along?

And I know it is all my fears,

that I believe the
hostility of white people,

particularly when there
is an interracial couple.

- Yes, well, go on.

Your memory Is sharp.

Where are you now?

- Now we're in the country
part of New Hampshire

on Route Three, and I'm thinking,

I've got to get ahold of myself

and not expect hostility when

there was no hostility there,

and I look up through the windshield.

I look up through the
windshield of the car

where Betty saw a star.

That's funny.

But I said, Betty that is not a star.

It's a satellite.

(crickets chirrup)

Come on, Dalsey, let's get out.

Hurry up, Betty, so I can see.

It's not a satellite, it's a plane.

- Barney, what kind of a plane is that?

- [Dr. Simon] What kind of plane was it?

- It is right over my
right and it does not go

where I thought it would go.

- Barney, I'm asking you a question.

What kind of a plane is that?

- Oh, that's funny.

It was funny.

They're coming around toward us.

They're changing course.

Just a Piper Cub.

- [Betty] Barney, it's not a Piper Cub.

- You saw a small plane?

- Barney, that's not a plane.

It's still following us.

(tires squeak)

Barney!

Where are you going?

- I just wanna see it.

- IIt's still there.

It's coming closer.

- It Iis not, it is not coming closer!

Just way up there!

Betty, what are you
trying to make me believe?

- All right.

We'll stop here for now.

Just relax, be comfortable.

Until you hear me speak again,

you won't hear any sound here.

Just rest and be comfortable.

(tape recorder clicks)

All right, you may proceed now.

- And I'm wondering
why doesn't it go away?

- Do you still think it was a small plane?

- And I'm wondering why these pilots...

Why, they shouldn't do that.

They shouldn't do that.

And I can't hear any noise,

and I think, this is ridiculous.

I can't hear any sound.

And I want to get back in
the car and get out of there.

I gotta get outta there.

And it is still coming around towards us,

and I look up and down the road,

and I think how dark it is,

and I think what if a
bear were to come out?

And Betty is looking.

I think she said, and I'm mad with her,

I think Betty is trying to make me believe

this Is a flying saucer.

And I am wondering why doesn't it go away?

I wanna wake up.

- [Dr. Simon] You won't wake up.

You're Iin a deep sleep.

You can go on.

- It's right over my right.

What is it?

I gotta get outta here.

- [Dr. Simon] This won't trouble you.

Go on.

You're remembering everything now.

- [Barney] And I try to maintain control

So Betty cannot tell that I am scared.

On, I am so scared.

- [Dr. Simon] Go on, this won't hurt you.

Experience it, it won't harm you now.

(Barney pants)

(Barney screams)

- I gotta get my gun!

I gotta get my gun!

I gotta get outta here!

I gotta get my gun!

I gotta get my gun!

(Barney screams)

I gotta get outta here!

(Barney walls)

- [Dr. Simon] Nothing can harm you here.

(Barney walls)
Here, here.

You're Iin a deep sleep.

You can remember nothing.

But now, now calm yourself.

Calm yourself.

Yeah, come on.

Now come on back and sit down.

All right, you can wake up now.

All right, you can wake up now.

You can remember everything.

Just go on remembering.

There's no need for you to cry out.

You're calm now.

Do you still feel you
have to get your gun?

- Yes.

- [Dr. Simon] It meant
to harm you, you felt?

- Yes.

And I open the trunk and I take it out

and I put it in my coalt,

and I look, I look and
I say, "I'm not afraid,

"I'm not afraid, I'll shoot it down!"

And I run out across the road,

and there it is, a bear. (screams)

(Barney pants)

A man.

A man.

Is he a captain?

What is he?

And he's looking at me, and I say, no,

I have to shake my head.

This isn't true, this can't be true.

And he's still there, and I
look up and down the road,

and I think, can't somebody come along

and tell me that this isn't there?

It's there.

- [Dr. Simon] Are you sure it's there?

- Yeah.

- [Dr. Simon] You're not having a dream?

- And I touch my right arm.

It's not my right, it's my left arm.

And it's there.

If I let my binoculars fall and dangle,

maybe it won't be there.

(tense, mysterious music)

But it's there.

Why, what do they want, what do they want?

(dramatic music)

This one person looks friendly to me.

He's friendly-looking.

And he's looking over
his right shoulder at me

and he's smiling and he's friendly,

but the other one with the evil face,

he looks like a Nazi.

He's a Nazi.

- [Dr. Simon] Did he have on a uniform?

- [Barney] Yeah, yes.

- [Dr. Simon] Do they have
faces like other people?

- His eyes are slanted.

Oh, his eyes are slanted.

Oh.

I feel like a rabbit.

- What do you mean by that?

- When I was hunting
for rabbits in Virginia,

this cute little bunny went into a bush

that wasn't very thick,
and my cousin Marge

was on one side of the bush,

and I was on the other with a hat,

and this poor little
bunny thought he was safe,

and it tickled me,
because he was just hiding

behind this little stalk
that meant security for him.

And I pounced on him
and threw my hat on him

and captured the poor little
bunny that thought he was safe.

JHahahahahahald

(Barney chortles)

Isn't that funny?

I thought of that, standing
out there in the field.

I'm that bunny.

I'm gonna be pounced on.

I'm that bunny.

This creature is trying
to tell me something.

I can see it in his face.

- Are its lips moving?

- No, its lips aren't moving,

but he's looking at me,
and he's saying to me,

"Don't be afraid.�

- Did you hear him tell you this?

- [Barney] No.

- You felt he said it.

- I know.

And he said, "Just stay there," he said.

And he's telling me not
to pull the binoculars

away from my eyes (pants).

God, give me strength!

I'll fight it off!

I'm not afraid!

And I run out across the road
and there it is up there.

Oh, those eyes.

Onh, can't I please wake up?

- [Dr. Simon] Just a little longer.

You'll get through this all right.

- I don't understand.

The eyes don't have no body.

They're just eyes.

Oh, oh, that's what it's got to be.

It's a wild cat up a tree.

Oh, that's what it's got to be. (laughs)

Oh, I know.

It's the Cheshire Cat In
"Alice in Wonderland."

It disappeared, too, and
only the eyes remained.

Oh.

- You don't seem to be frightened anymore.

- No, they're not gonna do anything bad.

Just floating about.

I'm that bunny.

I've been captured, but
just floating about.

(Barney chuckles)

It's so ridiculous, isn't it?

Oh, really funny.

I wonder where they come from.

They're not gonna do me any harm.

I wish I could go with them.

Oh, what an experience, to
go to some distant planet.

Maybe this will prove
the existence of God.

Isn't that funny?

To look for the existence
of God on some other planet.

(Barney weeps)

- [Betty] I don't know if
he was laughing or crying,

but he said to me, they
were gonna capture us.

- They're gonna capture us!

We gotta get outta here!

Look out, look out, you can see them!

They're right overhead!

They're right directly over our car.

(car revs)

- If they're out there,
I don't see anything.

It's all black, I don't see them.

(car revs)

(mysterious beeping)

- What's that?

What's that noise?

(mysterious beeping)
- I don't know.

- Now just a moment, this
was the first series of beeps

when your amnesia begins?

- I don't want to.

- [Dr. Simon] There was
a second series of beeps

when your memory returned.

- I don't know.

- [Dr. Simon] Well, you
will remember, clearly.

- But, words, I, that, my mind's a blank.

I (stutters).

I could not, I almost remember.

- You can remember.

- No, I get this point, I
can't get beyond the beeping!

- You can.

You can get beyond it.

It's all right.

You've never remembered it before.

This is the two hours you
could never remember until now,

because you're there now.

It's all right, go on, remember.

No need to be upset.

(Betty pants)

- I'm not supposed to.

- [Dr. Simon] Not supposed to?

Who told you you're not supposed to?

- They did.

- [Dr. Simon] All right.

You're calm, calm.

(machinery buzzes)

- We're driving along.

I don't know where we are.

I don't even know how we got here.

Barney and I, we were driving.

I don't know how long.

I don't know how long.

We haven't even been talking.

I'm just sitting there,

feeling that something's going to happen.

I'm not really too afraid,

but then now I am.

That time, I didn't feel afraid.

- Why are you crying if you're not afraid?

- I'm afraid now, but then I wasn't.

I wasn't, I wasn't afraid.

I was afraid.

I was afraid when I saw
the men in the road!

- The men in the road?

- I've never been so
afraid in my life before!

- Tell me about the men in the road.

(Betty weeps)

It's all right.

You're safe here.

Tell me about the men in the road.

(Betty weeps)

Betty, Betty, don't fall asleep.

I want you to stay awake
SO you can remember.

Tell me about the men in the road.

- But I wasn't too afraid
of the men when I saw them.

They were standing there, and I thought,

oh well, you know, they're not so awful.

There was, I don't know,

I wasn't too afraid when I saw them.

They were just, no, I couldn't
get a good look at them.

(eerie, mysterious music)

Maybe their car's broken down.

What are they doing here?

And then they started coming toward us,

and then I, when they did that,

I got really scared!

And Barney tried to stop the car. (weeps)

And then (indistinct).

- What was that?

I didn't hear that.

- I thought if I could just
get my hand on the door

of the car and open it, I can run

into the woods and hide.

(tense music)

And Barney (indistinct).

They're going to capture us.

They're going to capture us.

They're coming closer.

Oh my, oh, oh.

(dog barks)
They're coming closer.

I just put my hand out, I put my hand

on the door of the car,

and I'm gonna open Iit.

They open it for me.

(Betty weeps)
(tense music)

They opened the car door!

This man, this man, they're
just two men (indistinct).

One, two, three, three men!

And there's one, two more men behind them!

(Betty screams)
(dramatic music)

- All right, all right, all right.

(Betty sobs)

(Indistinct) now.

(Betty sobs)

You'll be relieved and relaxed.

When you wake up, you won't remember

anything that's transpired here.

You won't remember anything
til I ask you to recall it.

All right, you'll be comfortable
and relaxed and at ease.

(tape recorder clicks)

- Oh, the beautiful people.

(Betty laughs)

Don't do that.

The Kennedys don't giggle.

- One of them?

- You got no class, girl.

Don't give me that talk about
your Mayflower ancestors.

Mm, mm, mm.

Now how could I go and
marry a girl with no class?

No, Betty, Betty, no, not that,

no, Betty, not, not that, no, Betty, no!

(Betty laughs)

- Serves you right, no class.

You're really feeling good, aren't you?

- Yes, I am.

Just minutes.

I really feel gooa.

I come out of those sessions,

it's like a weight lifted.

And I don't know what the weight is,

but something's working,
because there are these minutes

before it all comes creeping back again.

- With me, it's a day or so.

And then I can't wait
for the end of the week

to get back in there.

- Like today, at lunch, I felt so cool,

I had onion with my hamburger.

- Barney, you know we said we wouldn't eat

onions unless we both had it!

- Oh, I'm sorry, I
forgot, I'll get you one.

- What?
- I'll get you an onion.

- I don�t want an onion,
you lunatic! (laughs)

- It's really strange, isn't it?

- It really is.

- I'm so amazed, so curious.

I'm just dying to find out
what's going on in there.

-Soam I.

- It's amazing, I didn't
think I could be hypnotized.

It's so unlike me.

Just have to be In control all the time.

(clock ticking)

But then I walk in there and bang!

I guess I trust him.

Me, Barney Hill, trusting somebody.

- Except me.
- And him.

Yeah, it's funny, I
trusted him right away.

-Sodid l.
- Oh, yeah.

But you're used to trusting people.

You know me, I'm not paranoid,

it's just the whole
world is out to get me,

especially boys with ducktail
haircuts and old ladies.

- Old ladies?

(clock ticking)

What, are you kidding?

- Yeah, sort of.

No, not really.

My earliest memory,
except that I don't think

it was really a memory.

It's just that my mother
told the story so much

that I feel I remembered it.

I was just a baby, six
months, nine months.

And we moved into an all white
neighborhood in Philadelphia,

and my mother put me out
on the porch in a carriage.

She came out just in
time to see an old lady

sneaking across the porch
with a pot of boiling water.

She was gonna dump it on me.

- Oh, Barney!
- Yeah.

Isn't it crazy?

Well, I don't know.

Maybe it didn't really happen,

but I grew up on stuff like that.

All those summers in Virginia.

I remember my uncle and
all the men on the farm,

were sitting up on the porch
all night with loaded guns,

all night, because they were coming.

They said they were coming,
but they didn't come.

- I know.

No, I don't know.

There's no way I could
ever know, is there?

- No, thank God.

- My fears, you know it's odd, my fears

aren't ever of the real.

(clock ticking)

It's what I don't know, the unknown.

Death and lost time and,
really, the unknown.

- It's not that that frightens me.

It's not being in control, the
idea of not being in control.

(clock ticking)

Will you promise me something?

If I get a stroke, something like that

that paralyzes me so I can't...

Would you put a pillow over my face?

- That's not fair, Barney.

Barney, that's not fair to
ask me a thing like that now,

to ask me to promise-

- All right, don't promise now.

But If, just decide then, knowing.

- Okay, I'll decide then, when you're 102.

- It runs in the family,
you know, strokes,

and I truly am scared.

I would've told you
about that and asked you

about that before, but I
didn't wanna frighten you.

Would you be all right?

- No, no, I woulan't be all right!

(clock ticking)

- Oh, baby, don't cry.

I didn't mean to make you cry.

- Yes, you did, you did.

Everything was just fine.

We were laughing, we were fine.

You had to spoll it, you had to.

(clock ticking)

- I'm sorry.

- [Betty] I know, I know, so am II.

Oh, we're always sorry.

We keep right on doing
it, and we're sorry.

Why?

Oh, will we ever know why?

(clock ticking)

- [Dr. Simon] Go on, Betty.

(lights buzz)

(clock ticking)

- [Betty] Why?

Oh, will we ever know why?

(clock ticking)

- Go on, Betty.

It's all right, you can go on now.

- I don't know what happened.

- You can remember everything now.

What did these men look like?

Did you see their faces?

- No.

- How were they dressed?

Did they have on a uniform
or ordinary clothes?

- I couldn't say, I don't know.

I can't remember.

I'm not supposed to remember.

- [Dr. Simon] All right.

Your memory Is sharp now.

You needn't worry.

You can remember everything.

Now, tell me what happened.

What are you thinking now?

- I'm thinking I'm asleep.

- [Dr. Simon] Asleep In the car?

- I'm asleep and I've got to wake up.

I don't wanna be asleep.

I keep trying to wake up.

And then I do, I open my eyes.

I'm walking through the woods.

I open my eyes quick,
and I shut them again.

- [Dr. Simon] And Barney is behind you?

- There's a couple of men behind me,

and then there's Barney.

There's a man on each side of him.

And my eyes are open but
Barney's still asleep.

He's walking and he's asleep.

(mysterious music)

And then I begin to get mad.

And I said to myself, who
the heck are these characters

and what do they think they're doing?

And I turn around and I
said, "Barney, wake up,

"Barney, why don't you wake up?�

(mysterious music)

And I'm getting really annoyed at Barney.

And I say, "Barney, wake up."

"Is Barney his name?"

And I wouldn't answer.

(mysterious music)

And then the leader, "There's
ho reason to be afraid.

"We just want to do some tests.

"And then when the tests are over,

"we'll take you and
Barney back to your car.

"You'll be on your way
back home in no time."

And then we come to a
clearing and there was, oh,

I wish it were light so I could
get a better picture of it.

There's a ramp to the door.

(mysterious music)

The object was on the ground.

The moon sitting on the ground.

- The object was on the ground?

- I think that's the same
one I saw in the sky.

And I thought it was the moon.

We go inside, and there's
a corridor to the left.

In the corridor, there's a room.

And (indistinct) push us in the room.

And then another man comes in.

I haven't seen him before.

I think he's the doctor.

And they both look through
this machine here and here.

- [Dr. Simon] What do you
think they were doing?

- [Betty] I have an idea.

They're taking a picture of my skin.

They're doing all kinds of things.

And then they took something
like a letter opener,

only it wasn't, and they
scraped my arm here.

And then they put the little skin scraping

in a piece of cellophane
or plastic, something.

And, oh, then they feel my
hair, the back of my neck,

and take a couple of
strands and pull it out,

and the examiner tells
me to take my dress off

before I even have a chance
to stand up to do it.

- [Dr. Simon] Your dress
has a zipper down the back?

- Yes, it zips down the back.

The examiner unzipped it
and slipped my dress off.

And they're talking.

I don't know what they're saying.

I couldn't understand that part.

"I want to do some tests.

'l want to test your nervous system.�

"l don't know how our nervous systems are

"but I hope we never have nerve enough

"to go kidnapping people off
the highways as you've done."

[ am lying on the table.

I don't know what they're
doing, but they seem so happy

with whatever it is they're doing.

And they touch me with a needle.

Doesn't hurt.

And something like a TV screen.

And then they turn me on my stomach,

and then back over on my back.

And I see the doctor has
a long needle in his hand.

- [Dr. Simon] Go on.

Go on, it's all right.

- "What are you going to do with that?"

And he tells me that it won't hurt.

He just wants to put it in my navel.

It's just a simple test.

Stop it's hurting, it's hurting!

Take it out!

And the leader comes, he
runs his hands over my eyes

and says it will be all
right, I won't feel anything.

But the pain's gone away.

I'm still sore where
they put that needle in.

I don't know why they did that!

Because I told them, they shouldn't do it!

- [Dr. Simon] Did they make
any sexual advances to you?

- [Betty Voiceover] No.

I asked the leader, I said,

"Why did you put that needle in my navel?"

And he said, "It was a pregnancy test.�

And I said, "l don't
know what you expected,

"but that was no pregnancy test here.�

- [Dr. Simon Voiceover] When
you had all these experiences

with your dreams, why
would you have dreamed

all these things?

The dreams were the
same as the experiences,

that you felt you had.

- [Betty Voiceover] I
figured that in my dreams,

I remembered what actually happened.

(tape recorder clicks)

(fape squeaks)

- [Dr. Simon Voiceover]
Did these men speak to you?

- [Barney Voiceover] Only the
one I thought was the leader.

- [Dr. Simon VoiceoverI What
kind of language did you use?

- [Barney VoiceoverI He
did not speak a word.

I was told what to do by
his thought, his thoughts,

and I was always aware that somehow

there was something peculiar,

which is the absence of a mouth.

- [Dr. Simon Voiceover]
There seem to be indications

that a great deal of the experience

was absorbed by Barney Hill from Betty,

in spite of his insistence
that this was his own.

And there are definite indications

that her dreams had been
suggested as a reality.

The implications are self-evident.

(fape squeaks)

Go on, it's all right.

- [Betty] And so then I said,
I asked him where he was from.

And he asked me if I knew
anything about the universe.

And I told him, no, I knew almost nothing.

But don't judge this country by me.

There are people who do
know all about the stars.

And there was this one big circle,

and it had a lot of
lines coming out from it

and then to another circle, quite close,

but not as big.

- [Dr. Simon VoiceoverI You
think you could draw the map?

- Yes, I think so.

He said these are places they went

fo occasionally, and the
broken lines were expeditions.

And I asked him again
where his home port was,

and he said, "Where are you on the map?"

And I looked, (chuckles)
I laughed and I said,

"I don't know."

And he said, "If you
don't know where you are,

"there isn't any point of
my telling where I am from."

- [Dr. Simon] Did they
actually speak English?

- I've been telling myself
I heard them in English

with an accent, but I don't know.

- [Dr. Simon] Could it have
been thought transference?

- No.

I knew what they were saying,

and they knew what I
was saying, but if it...

I knew what they were thinking.

I knew what they were thinking.

(tape squeaks)

(tape recorder clicks)

(Betty crying)

- And I said, "You promised
I could have the book!"

And he said, "l know it,
but the others object!"

And I said, "But this
is my proof!" (weeps)

And he said, "That's the whole point.

"They don't want you
to know what happened.

"They want you to forget all about it."

(wind whistles)

I won't forget about it.

You can take the book, but you can

never, never, never make me forget.

(wind whistles)

I'll remember, If it's
the last thing I do.

(wind whistles)

(tape recorder clicks)
(surf crashes)

- Why do you think they
were examining your skin?

You suppose it was because your skin

and Barney's skin were
of a different color?

- I don't know.

I think it's because their
skin and mine were different.

- [Barney VoiceoverI And I
started to get out of my car

and I felt myself supported by two men,

and my eyes were closed.

- {Dr. Simon Voiceover] Just a minute.

Didn't Betty tell you this?

- [Barney Voiceover]I No,
Betty never told me this.

- [Dr. Simon VoiceoverI But
didn't she have dreams of this,

and talked to you about them?

- [Barney Voiceover]I Betty
said that we were inside

a UFO In her dreams, not how we got there.

- [Dr. Simon Voiceover]
Yes, but didn't she tell you

that you were taken inside?

- [Barney Voiceover] Yes, she did.

- [Dr. Simon VoiceoverI Well
then, she told you everything

that was seen inside,

about being stopped by these men.

- [Barney Voiceover]
No, she did not tell me

about being stopped by the men.

She did not have this in her dreams.

I saw this.

(papers shap)

(surf crashes)

(phone rattles)

(surf crashes)

- General Davison, please.

(surf crashes)

Hey, Jim, Ben.

Look, I've got a problem.

As I see it, there are four possibllities.

One, they're lying.

I can discount that because
they're honest people

with high integrity.

Two, it was a case of dual hallucination.

It's improbable for
reasons I won't go into.

And three, their incident
was a dream or an illusion.

Now, this I intend to explore further.

- What makes you think it was a dream?

- Well, I didn't say I
thought it was a dream.

I said I'd explore it further.

- You know, I remember you saying

exactly the same thing about a young lady

in freshman biology that you
thought you were in love with,

that you wanted to explore that.

- All right, all right, now the reason

I'm going to explore it further is because

a background existed,
a sensitized background

existed on which a
fantasy could be imprinted

to be experienced later as a dream.

- Now hold it, Ben, you lost me.

- Yeah, well, forget about that.

I can't discuss the
personal aspects of this.

But what I really wanna
know is is the sighting

of a UFO probable?

More important than
that, has there ever been

an actual case of an
abduction aboard a UFO?

Is that possible?

- Do you want the official
Air Force position or?

- Well, I want whatever you can tell me.

- All right.

The official position is we don't know.

- You think you could
take that a step further?

- Yeah, but not too much,

because, each year, after investigating

about 1,500 reports of UFO sightings,

we've come up with a 95%
explained natural phenomena.

- You mean balloons and things?

- Balloons, weather inversions, kooks.

And 5% unexplained.

Now that unexplained is never denied.

We just file it under the
heading of "insufficient data."

But, Ben, as a friend, I tell you,

I wonder about that 5%.

There are just too many
reports, good people,

sound people, that we can't seem to find

any answers that make any sense.

So as for the sightings, yeah,
I really wonder about them.

But for an actual abduction,
now that I never heard of.

And, off hand, I'd say that it's-

- Extremely unlikely.
- No, no, I'm not saying that.

What I'm saying is I think
a sighting is possible,

but an abduction?

Ben, I'd have to have
an awful lot of proof,

an awful lot of facts.

- S0 you're saying
that, without the facts,

you'd consider it highly
improbable, even impossible?

- [Jim] Yeah, Ben, that's what I'm saying.

(Dr. Simon laughs)

(tape recorder clicks)

- Barney and Betty Hill.

I've hypnotized each of them separately,

and each of them separately
remembers, in general,

the same experience.

I suspect that in this stage of therapy,

the sighting of an object
which could possibly be a UFO

triggered an externalized fantasy,

a fantasized trauma, which the Hills

have projected their inner turmoil.

(rain patters)

- I just had a hysterical thought.

What if Dr. Simon were a spaceman??

- Oh, Betty, don't be ridiculous!

- Neither Barney Hill nor Betty Hill

realize that their experience as described

Is almost identical with the long report

that she wrote about her dreams.

(rain patters)

- (sighs) If he changes
his mind and decides

not to let us start listening today.

- Of course he's gonna let us listen.

He said so.

Oh, Barney, don't be ridiculous.

(rain patters)

(rain patters)

- (sighs) If he changes
his mind and decides

not to let us start listening today.

- Of course he's gonna let us listen.

He said so.

(tape recorder clicks)

So he asked me, "What are vegetables?�

But I just couldn't explain
what vegetables are,

and he said, was there one kind I liked?

And I said my favorite was squash.

And he said, "Tell me about squash.�

So I said it was yellow, usually,

and he said, "What's yellow?"

And I started looking around the room,

and I couldn't find
anything yellow at all.

(tape recorder clicks)

- Now I wanna read something to you.

"He asked questions.

"What did vegetables look like?

"My favorite one, squash.

"What did it look like?

"l tried to explain the color of it,

"and looked for some
yellow coloring in the room

"put could not find any."

- That's fromm my dream, what I wrote down.

- Yeah, but now I wanna explain something

to you that you probably know already.

The rules that operate
for the conscious mind

don't operate for the unconscious mind.

Things are and are not
all at the same time.

Now, under hypnosis,
what a subject believes

determines what is truth to him.

- Wait a minute, will you say that again?

- Well, in other words, what
comes out under hypnosis,

you believe to be true.

It Is true, for you.

But a fantasy or a dream can
be as true for you as reality.

(tape recorder clicks)

- [Betty Voiceover] I said I hope

that somehow we would meet again.

Maybe he would come back.

And he said, well, he would try.

Then they all turned
and started to go back.

And I get up to the car,

and Barney's inside, and I say,

"Come on out and watch 'em leave."�

Don't be afraid, Delcie,
there's nothing to be afraid of.

And so we're walching them leave,

and it starts glowing,
gelting brighter and brighter.

It's a large ball, a big, orange ball

and it's glowing and
rolling, just like a ball.

And I'm so happy!

- "Suddenly, the ship became
a bright, glowing object,

"and It appeared to roll over like a ball,

"turning over about three or four times,

"and then sailing into the sky."

- There's one thing I don't understana.

Suppose it was a dream.

Could we have both had the same dream?

- Now that's an aspect
that's been puzzling me,

and, no, I don't think you could.

At first, I thought because
Barney was more ready

for a trauma, that he had
transferred a fantasy to you.

Then I thought, because
it seemed more likely,

that you had transferred
your dreams to Barney,

'�cause Barney is more susceptible.

- (chuckles) Well, I'm not
quite sure how to take that,

but I'll tell you something.

I don't really care if
it's a dream or real,

because the longer these tapes play

and the more we listen to them,

deeper and deeper we get into it,

I feel as though something is
being lifted off my shoulders,

and it's better than
suffering with it, you know.

All those anxieties and wondering.

- That's the whole point.

The point is to relieve the anxieties.

How do you feel now, Betty?

- I feel fine.

I guess it was just
the fear of the unknown

had me so scared.

(tape recorder clicks)
(thunder rumbles)

- [Barney VoiceoverI And I
don't want to be operated on.

- [Dr. Simon Voiceover] You
don't want to be operated on.

What makes you think of an operation?

- Oh, I just remembered something.

(tape recorder clicks)

I don't know If I went
into this detail or not

when I was hypnotized.

- [Dr. Simon] What detail?

- Well, as I was listening to myself,

oh, I don't know.

Maybe it's just psychological.

I don't wanna hear anymore
of that for a while.

(thunder rumbles)
(rain patters)

- What detail?

- As I was listening
to myself, I remembered

what they examined my groin with.

It was a circular instrument,
and they pressed down with it.

You know that small ring of warts

that developed an almost
geometrically perfect

strip around my groin?

Since the therapy began,
it's been a little painful

and inflamed around the whole area.

(thunder rumbles)

And I was wondering, those
warts originally appeared

way back in 1962 when I had

no conscious memory of the
events aboard the craft, right?

Now, here it Is 1964,
and they get inflamed.

(rain patters)

How's that possible?

- I don't know.

It may still be part of a shared fantasy.

(thunder rumbles)

But I just don't know.

(rain patters)

(tape recorder clicks)

- [Barney Voiceover] I wanna wake up.

- [Dr. Simon VoiceoverI You won't wake up.

You're in a deep sleep.

You can go on.

- [Barney VoiceoverI And I look, I look,

and I say, "I'm not
afraid, I'm not afraid.

"I'll shoot it down!"

And I run out across the road. (sobs)

There it is, up there! (screams)

(Barney panting)

A man. (sobs)

God, give me strength.

lI'll fight it off!

I'm not afraid.

And I run out across the road,

and there it is, up there.

Oh, those eyes!

Onh, can't I please wake up?

- [Dr. Simon VoiceoverI Go on.

This won't hurt you.

Experience It.

It won't harm you now.

(Barney voiceover waliling)

- [Barney Voiceover] I gotta get my gun!

- You want me to turn it off�?
- No.

- [Barney Voiceover] I
gotta get outta here!

I gotta get my gun!

I gotta get my gun!

(Barney voiceover screams)

- I don't like them
putting their hands on me.

I don't like them touching me!

- [Dr. Simon] It's all right, Barney.

Just be calm.

It's all right.

(Barney sighs)

- Dr. Simon, I don't want to offend you

In any way, you understand?

I have a great respect
and admiration for you,

and I can only thank God that
we came to you with all this,

but your theory about
a dream or fantasy...

It's real.

It did happen.

I know that now.

I know it.

- Dr. Simon, I haven't
said before, either,

how grateful I am.

I jJust wanna say, too,

thank God we came to you with all this.

- Well, thank you, Betty, Barney.

Thank you both.

(Barney chuckles)

- I had a feeling, listening, that I gave

you a few bad moments there.

- Oh, I'll tell you, this little ole heart

went pitter-pat a couple of times.

You're a big man, Barney,
and going for your weapon.

- I had the gun in my coat the whole time.

Can you believe that?

Walking along with eyes shut,
scared little bunny rabbit,

and a gun in my coat.

And you, you didn't have a gun

and you're half my size,

and you're telling those creatures off.

Mighty Mouse.

(Betty chuckles)

What in the world was I so afraid of?

Betty, (chuckles) you even
had a good time. (chuckles)

- Well, what do you think?

You must've given it some thought.

- The bunny, capture, bondage.

- [Dr. Simon] Of any kind?

- [Barney] Yeah.

Of any Kind.

The dark.

- The dark.

- Well, that's all I did, you know.

When a child is frightened
of his dark bedroom,

you lead him slowly, gently

into that dark, frightening room,

let him touch all the corners,

all the objects that seem like monsters,

until he knows that those
corners are just corners,

and the monsters are
just chairs and lamps.

Dark bedroom, a spaceship, or the mind.

- Hey, listen, the next time
we go in the dark together,

will you please, for Pete's sake, tell me

to keep my eyes open?

- I did.

You didn't listen. (chuckles)

- I will, next time, I will.

(soft, gentle music)

- With active treatment discontinued,

Barney and Betty Hill settled
down to their routine life.

Betty Hill's schedule as a social worker

for the state of New Hampshire

was both demanding and rewarding.

Barney Hill continued in normal fashion

at the Post Office department,

and increased his community
and political activities.

He served on the Board of Directors

of the United States
Civil Rights Commission,

the NAACP, and the Anti-Poverty Program.

As their doctor, I felt
that their treatment

had been successful.

The primary purpose, to
penetrate the amnesia

In order to relieve their anxieties,

had been accomplished.

The question concerning
the real or fantasized

aspects of the trauma remains a question.

- (chuckles) Barney, you
are so silly. (chuckles)

And I'm so proud of you.

S0 proud.

You remember when we were Iin
the middle of all that mess?

(sighs) We were fighting all
the time about just everything.

Well, I told you, no, well, first,

you said that, well, you know,

you were talking about
if you had a stroke,

and you asked me if I would be all right.

- [Barney] I remember.

- And I told you I wouldn't be.

Well, Barney, that's
not true, what I said.

I would be all right.

(chuckles) You know why?

'�Cause you've given me so much love,

so much laughter, snatches of song

to last the rest of my life.

So I could be alone if I had to.

And I would be all right.

- And you, you made up for
every bit of unhappiness

that I've experienced in my whole life.

- Aw.

(mysterious, tinkling music)

- [Narrator] In 1963,
under hypnotic suggestion,

Belty Hill drew from memory the map

shown to her aboard the spacecraft.

Astronomers became fascinated,

for what if the map
corresponded to a pattern

of real stars from an alien viewpoint?

Astronomers reasoned that
the majority of star systems

likely to have life-supporting planets

were located in the obscure
southern constellation

of Reticulum.

Yet, three stars in the cluster
were uhknown until 1969.

No astronomer on earth knew
their position in 1963.

But that same year, Betty Hill drew a map

which contained these undiscovered stars.

Astronomers at Ohio State University

requested a computer to put
them in their correct position

out beyond the incredible
double-star system

of Zeta Reticuli I and Zeta Reticuli Il,

220 trillion miles, 37
light years away from Earth,

looking toward our sun.

And the computer duplicated,
with virtually no variation,

the now famous map of Betty Hill.
