Betty Hill quotes:

I was on the state board of directors of the American Civil Liberties Union.

The first person who contacted us was the assistant to President Eisenhower... in the White House.

They came out over the highway and they stopped and that's when Barney got out, with the binoculars to try and identify the craft. I mean, he'd been in the military in World War Two, he's puzzled.

I'm a member of the US committee o the United Nations.

A week or so ago I did a two hour book review in Baltimore Maryland.

I was single for six years and during those six years I went back to college and got my degree in Social Work and then... while I was single... Barney came here to Portsmouth on vacation.

You can't recover memories of a missing event. That's a fallacy.

In fact, if you have a crime committed against you, and you go to have hypnosis, you can't testify. Because there's no way to test what is real, what's fact, what's fantasy.

By the time we went to Doctor Simon I think Barney had been totally disabled for at least six months.

I mean you might say he had a travelling post office, but also Barney was very, very active. He was a legal officer for the NAACP and they had a lot of problems after Pease.

Vote Smart has sent out thirty thousand questionnaires to every candidate running for office.

And that's how I wrote to NICAP, but then later, just very soon after that, like three weeks later, we started getting phone calls from government agents.

So actually we didn't have any contacts with UFO organizations. It was all strictly government.

And we turned off and 30 miles south they're standing in the middle of our road blocking our way, stopped the car, got out, took us through the path in the woods, where the craft was on the ground.

Meanwhile I married and I adopted three kids who were all from one family and then later I was divorced.

15 minutes will open up the amnesia and you'll have full recall.

Okay, the experience itself was a pleasant experience.

Only medical hypnosis is capable of opening up amnesia.

Now back in those days, to become a rural mail carrier you had to be approved by congress.

When they first grabbed us, yeah, it terrified, but they calmed me down.

From that night on, wherever Barney and I went UFOs paced us.

I don't know if we even mentioned UFOs. It was to find out why Barney was emotionally upset.

There were two hours that couldn't be accounted for.

Actually, actually, when he first put us into hypnosis, he didn't know what he was going to get.

So it's sheer terror, but then, this is the whole reason that we went so long to Doctor Simons, was to get rid of all these... mixed feelings that we had.

And there was huge numbers of UFOs around my parents home in Kingston.

And I'm walking along and we're laughing, kidding, joking, and see he understood the leader, the one we called the leader, had some knowledge of English, although limited.
