Summary

On episode 264 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we welcome back television and film writer, Andrew Sanford, to discuss the 1975 film, The UFO Incident, based on the events of Betty and Barney Hill. The film chronicles Barney (James Earl Jones) and Betty Hill (Estelle Parsons), an average couple who encounter a UFO but refuse to discuss the incident, only to find years later that their secret is putting a strain on both themselves and their marriage. They decide to visit a psychiatrist, and, under hypnosis, deliver remarkably similar stories about the aliens they believe they saw, and what might have happened to them on that fateful night. Ryan and Andrew discuss the accuracy of the film and their theories on the evidence brought forward then and now.

What's up guys, Ryan Sprague here again from somewhere in the skies. We're going to be talking

1:08.3

about the Betty and Barney Hill UFO incident, which surprisingly I haven't done a full episode

1:14.4

of the show on yet. So I thought who better to bring in than my good good friend here in New York

1:20.0

City. He is a TV writer, a screenwriter, which we're going to talk about at the end of this episode,

1:25.9

and just an all around amazing, amazing person. And he is skeptical of the UFO question,

1:34.3

which is what we desperately need in this field. So it's going to be a lot of fun to break down

before. And I don't want people to lose their faith in me right off the bat. You don't have to be

nice. Just don't talk about my glasses because they're okay, just be nice. No, don't do it, Ryan.

2:09.2

Let's rewind. I'm going to start the intro over. No, I'm just kidding. I'm going to say hello
