- DirectorMary SutherlandMary SutherlandStarsStanton FriedmanKathleen MardenWe have all heard incredible UFO and Alien Abduction stories that edge toward the unreal but none with more impact than the Betty and Barney Hill encounter that became a world wide story in 1961 with the book "The Interrupted Journey," massive media coverage, and then a 1975 TV movie, "The UFO Incident." But the complete story of what really happened that night, its effect on the Hills, and the findings of investigators has never been told...until now. For the first time, this documentary reveals new 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 more. 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 Hills' riveting hypnosis sessions about their time on board 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. Join Kathleen along with Physicist, and Ufologist Stanton T. Friedman, the original civilian investigator of the Roswell Incident, who 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. A fascinating journey into the UFO enigma, Alien Abduction: The Odyssey of Betty and Barney Hill is a testament that we are not alone.
