"True believers will see this as further evidence of the reality of UFOs" — The New York Times
On a summer night in 1961, Betty and Barney Hill were driving home through New Hampshire when a bright object appeared in the sky and began following them. When the couple finally pulled over to get a better look, the object vanished before their eyes. With nothing else to do, Betty and Barney returned to their car and kept driving into the night. The encounter left them rattled, but what came next was even more the following day, the Hills realized they couldn’t remember anything from almost two hours of their drive. Time itself had disappeared, so the couple began looking for help, hoping to uncover what happened that mysterious night.
Captivating and unputdownable, The Interrupted Journey is the complete story of those missing hours and the Hills’ nearly identical accounts, as revealed to doctors under psychotherapy and hypnosis. It stands as one of the most extraordinary UFO tales of our time. Thrilling, otherworldly, and wildly entertaining, The Interrupted Journey is an adventure that enraptured America and stands as the quintessential extraterrestrial encounter.
The Interrupted Journey: Two Lost Hours Aboard a UFO: The Abduction of Betty and Barney Hill Reviews
-
This is a classic UFO text from the 1960s and republished. I seem to recall reading it when I was a teenager... very long ago. It consists largely of the transcripts of interviews of Betty and Barney Hill under hypnosis who experienced something that agitated them greatly, but could not remember in detail. They sought the help of a trained hypno-psychiatrist. They worked through their issues, but soon became the center of a controversy over what they saw. This book is an answer to the many questions and misunderstandings that people have had about their abduction by a UFO and subsequent memory loss of the incident until brought to the surface under hypnosis.
My impression is that they were a normal couple with their own problems, but nothing unusual until this incident. Whether they actually were abducted by aliens is up to the reader to determine. I'd say no, but they certainly experienced something very strange.
Parts of the interviews were rather frightening. I stopped reading at night and only read during the day. Silly, I know, but that is what I did.
I'm not sure if I will read this book again, but it has made me interested in reading old UFO books again as I did when I was younger. I wouldn't mind reading "
Incident at Exeter" again if I could find a copy.
