50th anniversary of the first UFO abduction case

Nashua Telegraph

Betty and Barney Hill’s reported interaction with a UFO on Route 3 near Lincoln, occurred 50 years ago Monday.

The Hills, a quiet Portsmouth couple whose only public role until then involved participating in the state’s Civil Rights movement, said they had been taken aboard a cigar-shaped spacecraft and questioned by humanoid alien beings.

Betty Hill even drew from memory a space map that the creatures had shown her, locating their home base (some claim it points to a binary star called Zeta Reticuli, 39 light-years away).

A state historical plaque unveiled this summer celebrates “the first widely-reported UFO abduction report in the United States.”
