Summary

On the night of Sept. 19-20th, 1961, a New Hampshire couple named Betty and Barney Hill experienced a close encounter with an unidentified flying object and 2-3 hours of "lost time" while driving south on rte. 5 near Lincoln, New Hampshire. They filed an official Air Force Project Blue Book report of a brightly lit disc-shaped object the next day, but did not go public with their story until it was discovered by a newspaperman and run by the Boston Traveler in 1965, where it soon gained International attention. This was the first widely reported UFO abduction story in the U.S. and one that for a number of reasons has remained very credible.
