*****NEW DISCOVERIES IN BETTY HILL'S STAR MAP*****
********************************************
by
Joachim Koch and Hans-Juergen Kyborg
1993, Berlin, Germany
*****1. Introduction**************************************************
The UFO abduction case of Betty and Barney Hill is the
first one that became known to a greater public. It is well
investigated and documented for many times.
On September 19, 1961, beneath a clear starry sky, the
Hills drove down a road in New Hampshire, U.S.A., in a southern
direction. It was their way back home at the end of a short
holiday trip. The crescent moon (ca. 60% of the full moon disc)
was in the sky, on the left of it the planets Jupiter and
Saturn could be seen next to each other. Suddenly a bright
glowing craft appeared below left of the Moon and moved towards
the Hills with a variable flight path. In the course of the
event a close encounter with non-human entities happened, who
took Betty and Barney aboard a spaceship where both were
physically examined.
During a conversation with one of the entities, Betty Hill
called him "leader", she asked him where they come from.Then
something was shown to her which she later described as a
"star map".
At the end of the encounter the Hills were carried out of
the craft. They went back to their car and drove off. First of
all, the Hills had no immediate remembrance on the abduction
event. This period of time is locked inbetween a series of beeps
the Hills perceived at the beginning and at the end. After the
second series of beeps had sounded and the consciousness of the
Hills cleared up, they found themselves 35 miles removed from
their initial stopping place and noticed a difference of time of
two hours.
In the following time both suffered from psychosomatic
complaints, so they looked for medical treatment. Hypnotic
regressions were finally carried out by Dr.Benjamin Simon,
Boston, a psychiatrist,during the following month. He was
successful to break through the mental blockade that was imposed
on the Hills by the aliens and to reconstruct the complete
sequence of events and to reveal their whole implications.
With the help of posthypnotic suggestion Betty succeeded
to redraw essential parts of the "starmap" she had seen aboard
the spaceship (see her sketch in Fuller's book).
The whole abduction case was re-enacted by John G. Fuller
in his book "The Interrupted Journey" [1] in detail. Here the
transcripts of the tapes from the hypnosis sessions were
extensively used. In the illustrations section of the book, the
rough drafts which Betty and Barney had drawn, the locality, the
entities, the spaceship and the "star map" are depicted.
In 1966, Mrs. Marjorie E. Fish, Ohio, became aware of
Betty Hill's map. She had the idea that here was something that
could be checked. Either it represented a real set of stars
which might be found and tell us something about the aliens, or
it might be remembered too poorly to help, or it was totally
fictitious. Even if a similar set of stars was found, it might
be coincidental. But, unlike most UFO reports, the possibilities
could be examined and the date re-checked. [2]
Exobiological considerations show that single main
sequence stars of class F8, G to non-variable K0 stars have the
best chance for planets with life, including intelligent life.
All in all, stars like our sun are the best candidates to supprt
life on planets orbiting in their ecozone.
In December 1968, Mrs. Fish had completed a
three-dimensional model of the nearer surroundings of our sun.
It included stars up to 10 parsec distance (1 parsec = 3,262 ly
(ly= light-years)). Mrs. Fish used different pearls for her
model which were fixed on strings at the particular position of
each star. In 1969, the new edition of the "Catalogue of Nearby
Stars" by W. Gliese was printed. With the new data some of the
star positions could be corrected. Altogether, 23 (!) star
models were constructed and after final variations Mrs. Fish
thought to have found a pattern of stars similar to that in
Betty's map and it was, to a certain degree, very logically. In
February 1973, work on all the stars in the map was tentatively
concluded (see sketch on page 77 of the MUFON proceedings).
In the course of 1973, the results of Mrs. Fish's
investigations were presented on the MUFON congress and in 1974
"ASTRONOMY" magazine published an article entitled "The Zeta
Reticuli Incident". This was the beginning of a heated and
controversial debate that actually has not stopped until today.
We, Joachim Koch and Hans Juergen Kyborg, would like to
stress that it is not our aim to minimize the painstaking work
of Mrs. Marjorie Fish. With her admirable effort she has led our
view up into our cosmic neighbourhood and without her many among
us wouldn't even know that the star system of Zeta Reticuli
exists. She always thought the "map" to be a star map as Betty
thought the same, too. By re-investigating the available
material we found clues that the "map" showed something
different, something much closer, something more familiar and
easier for Betty to identify than a star system that is 42.38 ly
away from us and shown from a vantage point on the far side of
the system.
In the context of the whole story of what happened to
Betty it comes clear that the "leader" intended to show
something different to her, something that makes far more sense
than what was presumed to be the contents of the "map" so far.
We discovered what it really was and would like to present it
now to you all. We are well aware that, by the time, Zeta
Reticuli has become a real myth. Since the Hill's abduction many
claimed to have received messages and channels of different
kinds from "those from Zeta Reticuli" and even some of the
little Greys are said to be related to Zeta Reticuli. There are
many rumors about the activities of these Greys and
unfortunately this changed the image of this star system to the
negative.
Well - leave this all behind for the moment because this
has nothing to do with the Hill case. Let's start a new journey
into the Hill "star map" with a fresh and open mind. First, it
is necessary to have a close look at what Betty originally told
while she was under hypnosis, what she had dreamed weeks after
the abduction and while she was interviewed later in a tv-show.
*****2. "The Star Map" - What Do We Know******************************
Betty stood in the same room aboard the spaceship where
she was examined before. She was alone with the "Leader". He
didn't answer her question about their origin but asked her
instead if she knew anything about the universe. Betty [3]: "And
I told him no. I knew practically nothing. That when I was in
graduate school we were taught that the sun was the center of
the solar system, and there were nine planets. And then later,
of course, we did make advances."
"And I told him about seeing, I think I met him at one
time, Harlow Shapley; he wrote a book, too. And I had seen
photographs that he had taken of millions and millions of stars
in the universe. But that was about all I knew. So, he said that
he wished I knew more about this, and I said I wish I did, too."
After that the "map" appears. Betty continues: "And he went
across the room to the head of the table and he did something,
he opened up, it wasn't like a drawer, he sort of did something,
and the metal of the wall, there was an opening. "
"And he pulled out a map, and he asked me had I ever seen
a map like this before. And I walked across the room and I
leaned against the table. And I looked at it. And it was a map
it was an oblong map. It wasn't square. It was a lot wider than
it was long. And there were all these dots on it. And they were
scattered all over it. Some were little, just pin points. And
others were as a nickel. And there were lines, there were on
some of the dots, there were curved lines going from one dot to
another. And there was one as a circle, and it had a lot lines
coming out from it. A lot of lines going to another circle quite
close, but not as big. And these were heavy lines. And I asked
him what they meant. And he said that the heavy lines were trade
routes. And then the other lines, the other lines, the solid
lines were places tie went occasionally. And he said the broken
lines were expeditions... So I asked him where was his home
port, and he said 'Where were you on the map?' I looked and
laughed and said 'I don't know.' So he said, 'If you don't know
where you are, then there isn't any point of my telling where I
am from.' And he put the map - the map rolled up, and he put it
back in the space in the wall and closed it."
In a television interview [4] she retells the scene in
this way: "I don't know if there was an opening in the wall or
just what made out of sight and hide the map. He didn't pull
down anything like that" - here Betty made a movement with her
hand as if she would pull down a rolled up map - "and it was
probably about two by three feet. And it was almost - it was all
realistic - like looking at the sky and even some of the objects
seemed to be slowly moving. He asked me if I knew where we are
on the map and I told him 'no'. And he said, well, if I didn't
know any basic information then it will be impossible for him to
show me where they were from. And with that he put the star
maphe pushed something - and the map was gone."
In the dreams some weeks after the incident [5] she saw:
"He went over to the wall and pulled down a map, strange to me.
Now I would believe this to be a sky map. It was a map of
heavens, with numerous sized stars and planets, some large some
only pinpoints. Between many of these, lines were drawn, some
broken lines, some light solid lines, some heavy black lines.
They were not straight, not curved. Some went from one planet to
another, to another, in a series of lines. Others had no lines,
and he said the lines were expeditions. He asked me where the
Earth was on this map, and I admitted that I had no idea. He
became slightly sarcastic and said that if I did not know where
the Earth was, it was impossible to show me where he was from;
he snapped the map back into place."
These are Betty's accounts. Now let us emphasize the
following facts: after some manipulations of the "leader" at the
head of the table an "opening" appears in the wall. It seems to
Betty, as if she could see the "heavens", some of the visible
fluorescent points are moving. In Fullers book she said under
hypnosis, that the "leader" pulled the "map" down. Anyway, she
has the impression of a three-dimensional arrangement of all the
details in the "map". She looks from a distance of about one
meter at the "map" which is scattered all over with fluorescent
points of various size, colour and brightness [6]. There are no
grid-lines in the 3 feet (= 0,914m) long and 2 feet (= 0,609m)
high "map". In the foreground, there are two big circles which
are connected by heavy black lines. From the big circle more
distant to the viewers eye some solid lines are coming out and
connect some smaller points in different directions and
distances which are connected itselves by broken (dotted) lines
with some even smaller points.
Upon her question Betty was told that the heavy lines
symbolize "trade routes", the light solid lines connect places
they travel occasionally and the broken lines are "expeditions"
they did some time. Betty went on to ask where the homeport of
the entities was. Instead of giving an answer, again he asked
her: "Where were you on the map?" Betty could not answer this
question as much as she would like to, whereupon she was told:
"If you don't know where you are, then there is no reason for me
to show you where I come from." He made the "map" disappearing
and with this the "opening" in the wall disappeared, too. Betty
asked him to show her the map again, but he refused with a
laugh.
*****3. Some Considerations About Betty Hill's Descriptions***********
Betty is able to redraw the pattern of dots and lines
under posthypnotic suggestion. She doesn't know which part of
the "heavens" was shown to her, particularly her question about
the homeport of the entities remained unanswered. Some of the
dots which were not connected stay in her remembrance and
appear in her sketch.
It is very important for the understanding of the
following to make some things very clear. Betty had a very poor
astronomical knowledge. She doesn't know anything about the
stars except that they exist. She knows the sun, the moon and
had heard in school that there are nine planets in our solar
system. Long ago, she had seen astrophotographs taken by a
schoolfriend. She cannot draw in perspective. She says this
clearly in Fuller's book [7]: "I'm not good at drawing. I can't
draw perspective." Her "star map" is an adaptation of what she
had seen aboard the craft and is redrawn free-hand. Definitely,
drawing star maps even three-dimensional ones - is a difficult
job to cope with for someone who hardly knows anything about
astronomy and who is not good at drawing.
Betty likes to know, where the entities do come from. The
"leader" answers this question not simply "From Zeta Reticuli!"
but asks her basically about her knowledge of the universe. He
gets the definitive indication that Betty merely knows the
number of planets in our solar system and perhaps their names
and that she has seen the night sky, of course. Because of
this he expresses the wish to impart more knowledge to Betty,
and then, after manipulating at the head of the table, he makes
visible this "opening" in the wall and with this (or: then ) the
"map".
Is it logically, to show a star map of many cubic
light-years with our solar system as a dot somewhere in it and
its surroundings from the sight of two stars, which are 39.12 ly
and 42,38ly away, to someone who merely knows anything about his
own solar system and nothing about its surroundings?
Can we expect, that a human being who knows of his own sun
only that it is the middle of the solar system, finds out the
very dot among so many others in a three-dimensional pattern
which represents his very system?
