112/157: Betty Hill part 1

Sometime ago I received a paper from a researcher in Columbia Missouri on
the Hill case. I found the paper very interesting but wondered if his conclu-
sions were accurate. I decided to contact Mrs. Hill. I told her about the BBS
and that I wanted to put the paper on the board, but wanted to let her know
what was being said and offer her a chance for rebuttal/corrections. She ac-
cepted. What follows is the paper, and then two letters from her. I have used
[brackets] to show her corrections.

#2 The Hill Abduction Case, 1961, source: Interrupted Journey
SEPT. 18-19 [Sept. 19-20] Barney and Betty Hill abducted in the White Moun-
tains of New Hampshire. They remember part of the experience but have over 2
hours of "missing time," of which they are totally unaware at first. Barney
remembers seeing huge object with "fins with red lights on the ends" and "crew
members behind glass" panels at very short range. This object was more than 100
feet across and hovered 50 feet above the ground only 300 feet away for several
minutes Barney watched through binoculars.
SEPT. 20 Betty Hill calls her sister and tells her part of the story. Sister
then calls a local physicist who suggested they check for radiation. Sister al-
so calls local police chief who suggests they call Pease AFB, Portsmouth, N.H.
Betty calls the Air Force Base, worried about radiation. The officer who an-
swers was at first "cynical and unresponsive" but finally did ask to talk to
Barney. After Barney mentioned the "fins with lights" the officer perked up and
said the call was being "monitored". Barney felt that the officer was definite-
ly interested. Barney did not mention the figures he had seen behind the glass
through binoculars.
SEPT. 21 Major Paul Anderson, Intelligence Officer for the 100th Bomb Group,
Pease AFB, calls back, says he has stayed up all night working on a report of
this incident. Asked Barney for the size of the object. Barney says it appeared
as big as a dinner plate held at arms length. Major Anderson filed a report
with Blue Book, #100-1-61.
SEPT. 23 Betty [Barney] Hill Goes to the local Library and finds one of Major
Donald Keyhoe's books on UFOs. Takes down his address.
SEPT. 26 Betty Hill writes to Keyhoe in Washington, D.C., describing the inci-
dent as she remembers it. Fuller reports that NICAP (Keyhoe's organization) was
getting 40,000 letters a year.
SEPT. 30 Ten days after the sighting Betty Hill begins to have a series of
vivid and awesome dreams, which Fuller does not tell us about. They continue
for five days and then stop.
OCT. 4 Keyhoe is asked to lunch by Robert Hohman and someone named C.D. Jack-
son, "senior engineer" for a "notable electronics company", name withheld. They
are supposedly working on a paper about extra-terrestrial contacts that Nikola
Tesla, David Todd and Marconi were alleged to have experienced in the early
part of the century. Keyhoe tells them about the Hills.
OCT. 21 Walter Webb, investigtaor for Keyhoe's NICAP and an astronomer [lec-
turer] with the Hayden Planetarium, New York, N.Y., comes to interview the
Hills. He is there several hours. Betty does not tell him about her dreams.
Barney tells of the "captain" and others he saw through the glass.
OCT. 25? Betty begins to have a series of dreams following an experience in
the car. She had panicked as she and Barney had come upon a stalled auto in the
road with some people standing around it. That night she dreamed of being taken
into a UFO and given some sort of examination.
OCT. 26 Webb's report goes to NICAP in Washington. He had not been contacted
by Keyhoe directly but through the mail by Richard Hall, NICAP's secretary. He
had been skeptical. He was very much impressed by the Hills, however.
NOV. 3 Hohman and Jackson write the Hills asking for an interview. They tell
the Hills that they are serious minded men whose interest is in "verifying the
origin of these vehicles according to existing scientific theory maintained by
Hermann Oberth." Oberth was of V-2 rocket fame. They did not reveal their place
of employment but permission was granted.
NOV. 25 Hohman and Jackson come to the house to interview the Hills. "Also
visiting that day" is Major James McDonald, a long-time friend of the Hills and
an Air Force intelligence officer. It appears he asks no questions about who
Homan and Jackson are. The Hills had "discussed the case many times with Maj.
McDonald." The three of them spend 12 hours talking to the Hills about their
experience, including the "men" behind the glass. Major McDonald suggests hyp-
nosis but does not know any therapists. The matter rests here for some time.
Both Hills begin to be concerned about the incident and the chance they may
have been hallucinating.
MAR., 1962 Betty Hill writes to a doctor recommended by a colleague. The Hills
see him and tell their stories. The doctor recommends they wait and see if the
problem subsides on its own. No therapy is attempted.
SUMMER, 1962 Barney begins to see a psychiatrist about his anxiety but only
briefly mentions the UFO incident.
SEPT., 1962 The Hills are invited to a "UFO Study Group" to informally talk
about their experience. That meeting is taped, by whom Fuller does not say, un-
known to the Hills. Betty talked of her dreams, the dream of the physical exam-
ination.
SEPT., 1963 The Hills tell their church discussion group about the UFO inci-
dent. That same day Captain Ben Swett, from Pease AFB, was to talk about hyp-
nosis, which he had made a personal hobby of his. The Hills are encouraged by
Major McDonald to talk to their church friends about their experience and en-
couraged by Capt. Swett to undergo hypnosis. Barney is experiencing extreme
psychological disturbances as a result of the UFO sighting and abduction. He
would die in the late 1960's at the age of 46.

DEC., 1963 Barney's doctor calls in [refers us to] Dr. Benjamin Simon, well-
known Boston psychiatrist. "While an undergraduate at Johns Hopkins University,
he became interested in hypnosis...was Chief of Neuropsychiatry and Executive
officer at Mason General Hospital, the Army's chief psychiatric center in World
WarII."
JAN., 1964 Sessions begin and material generated that would lead John Fuller's
1966 book THE INTERRUPTED JOURNEY and the 1975 television movie THE UFO INCI-
DENT with James Earl Jones and Estelle Parsons. Dr. Simon had been technical
advisor on a WWII movie made by John Huston called LET THERE BE LIGHT.
JUNE, 1964 Sessions with Dr. Simon end.
FALL [Oct.], 1965 Sensational articles run in Boston newspaper about the Hills
experience. Information taken from tape made at the Sept., 1962 "UFO Study
Group" meeting, provenance unknown.
NOV., 1965 Unitarian Church in Dover, N.H., invites the Hills to talk. Hills
meet with Admiral Knowles, NICAP, before they speak. Also on program is a Pub-
lic Information Officer from Pease, AFB, who is a member of the Church [not a
church member] and has helped set up the event. He does not attack the Hills.
At this time a huge UFO flap was underway in the area and hundreds of people
were turned away from the church on a cold and raw evening. The usual atten-
dance for the weekly Unitarian sessions: 40 people.
*****************************
AS YOU CAN SEE from the simple chronology above (assembled from John Fuller's
book with difficulty) there is more going on in the Hill case than meets the
eye.
WHO WERE "HOMANN and C.D. Jackson?" Who were they really working for? Why was a
"major electronics firm" paying them to investigate 60-year-old fairy tales a-
bout Nikola Tesla? What "scientific the
