Product Description
Product Description
Today, 46 years after the UFO abduction of Betty and Henry Hill, more and more people are convinced that UFO's are real and that governments are covering up their existence. If you have doubts or questions about the Hill case or alien experiences ingeneral, CAPTURED! will give you the answers you're searching for. The 1961 abduction of the Hills stirred worldwide interest, primarily because of the book The Interrupted Journey, the subsequent media coverage and a 1975 TV movie, The UFO Incident. The case is mentioned in almost all UFO abduction books. It, also, became a target for debunkers, who still attack it today. But the complete story of what really happened that day, its effect on the participants and the findings of investigators has never been told…until now. In CAPTURED!...you'll get an insider's look at the alien abduction, previously unpublished information about the lives of the Hills before and after Barney's death in 1969, their status as celebrities, Betty's experiences as a UFO investigator and other activities before her death in 2004. Kathleen Marden, Betty Hill's niece, shares details from her discussions with Betty and from the evidence of the UFO abduction. She, also, looks at the Hill's riveting hypnosis sessions about their time onboard the spacecraft. The transcripts of these sessions provide insight into the character of the aliens, including their curiosity, their democratic discussions and their desire to avoid inflicting pain. In addition, co-author, physicist and ufologist Stanton T. Friedman, the original civilian investigator of the Roswell Incident, reviews and refutes the arguments of those who have attacked the Hill case, including the star map Betty Hill saw inside the craft and later recreated.

Much has been written about this very famous couple and much of it must be said is garbage. This volume by two people who actually knew Betty & Barney, researcher and Nuclear Physicist Stanton Freidman and a direct family member in Betty's niece Kathleen Marden.
Together they cover the various points and arguments made against the Hills claims and provide new insight into the experiences and traumas of the incident.
This book is very rich in detail and I would advise anyone interested in this most unusual of phenomena (UFOs) to pickup this book.

In the early 1970's public interest in UFO's had almost waned. These days any mention of UFO's (let alone Alien Abduction) is generally greeted with dismissive ridicule, largely thanks to disinformation put out by UK and USA governments during the 1980's, in response to resurgent public interest in the topic following "discoveries" made by ufologist researchers and the government documents they unearthed (containing details of crash UFO recoveries) under the then new Freedom of Information Act.
This book takes the reader back to different simpler times, a less cynical and maybe more naive public but nevertheless with murky political/military "dark forces" in the background.
These days any claims of Alien Abduction are usually seen as the ravings of country hicks from smallville American pursuing their fifteen minutes of fame. Betty and Barney Hill were an American married couple who rose to fame after they claimed to have been abducted by extraterrestrials on September 19-20, 1961. However, they were seeking neither fame nor fortune nor were they typical country hicks. The Hills were a mixed race couple at a time in America when that was unusual.
Barney was employed by the U.S. Postal Service, while Betty was a social worker. Both were active in a Unitarian congregation and were community leaders. Barney sat on a local board of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission. In short, in view of their status in the society, they had more to lose than gain by going public with their claim. In fact it took great courage and integrity in permitting their traumatic experience and its later investigation to become public at all.
The authors of Captured! Stanton T. Friedman, a nuclear physicist, is also regarded as the "Godfather of Modern Ufology", Kathleen Marden is Betty's niece and as trustee of her estate has all of the Hill's papers and correspondence from which this book draws upon.
I for one would not doubt its sincerity or scientific methodology but the book concentrates too heavily on debunking the debunkers for my liking - it interrupts the flow. Others will probably appreciate the authors taking on the skeptics, detail for detail, who attacked the case - just how could a woman with no knowledge of astronomy know the positions of stars in constellations, from the perspective of outer space looking back at Earth!, that could only be detected by the world's most powerful telescopes some four years later?
Order yourself a copy of Captured! see if you can come up with any answers!
