This famous case is well documented in many publications and on many internet web sites. The reader is directed to these easily locatable literature references for the details, especially the classic book on the event, The Interrupted Journey," and Jerome Clark's The UFO Encyclopedia. Brief synopsis of the abduction On Sept. 19, 1961, Betty and Barney Hill, along with dachshund "Delsey," were returning home to Portsmouth, NH, from an extended weekend pleasure trip to Canada. Their itinerary took them to Niagara Falls, then to Montreal, and home. They were traveling south on US Route 3 in central New Hampshire. At approximately 10:15 PM they noted a "bright star" which appeared to move erratically. They continued to observe it as it apparently paced them and got closer and closer. Barney stopped to retrieve a .22 pistol from the trunk. After resuming the drive, both Betty and Barney looked at the object through binoculars, observing a spinning, flat-January 2004 tened circular disk with multicolored lights on the rim. About two miles north of North Woodstock, the object descended and hovered about 100 feet in the air. No spinning was noted. A blue-white fluorescent glow shined through its windows. The object appeared to be the size of a four-engine aircraft.
