Summary

Driving through northern New Hampshire on a clear fall night in 1961, Betty and Barney Hill spotted a light in the sky that seemed to be following them. As they navigated mountain roads, the light came increasingly closer until the Hills found themselves face to face with a craft unlike any they had seen. Thus began one of the most famous encounters in UFO lore.

0:00.0	Strange Arrivals is a production of I-Heart Radio and Grim and Mild from Aaron Mankey.
0:07.0	At dusk in early August 2014, I saw lights in the sky.
0:20.6	My wife and I were having dinner with another couple.
0:23.0	We were at my family's summer cottage on an island in Lake Winnipesaki.

1:14.0	One person agreed with me that it was probably something ordinary.
1:18.0	We just couldn't figure out what.
1:21.0	But the other two shared a different opinion. They thought it was probably a

1:36.3	Those of us looking for an earthly explanation remember the lights blinking out one by one
1:39.1	as though they'd lost power.
1:41.6	Those who thought the lights were extraterrestrial remember them flying off at great speeds.
1:47.0	Nobody is budging on their memory.
