TWO LOST HOURS ABOARD A UFO--THE ABDUCTION OF BETTY AND BARNEY HILL * One of the most extraordinary UFO tales of our time--a thrilling, otherworldly, and wildly entertaining adventure that enraptured America and stands as the quintessential extraterrestrial encounter "True believers will see this as further evidence of the reality of UFOs" --The New York Times   On a summer night in 1961, Betty and Barney Hill were driving home through New Hampshire when a bright object appeared in the sky and began following them. When the couple finally pulled over to get a better look, the object vanished before their eyes. With nothing else to do, Betty and Barney returned to their car and kept driving into the night. The encounter left them rattled, but what came next was even more arresting: the following day, the Hills realized they couldn't remember anything from almost two hours of their drive. Time itself had disappeared, so the couple began looking for help, hoping to uncover what happened that mysterious night.   Captivating and unputdownable, The Interrupted Journey is the complete story of those missing hours and the Hills' nearly identical accounts, as revealed to doctors under psychotherapy and hypnosis. It stands as one of the most extraordinary UFO tales of our time. Thrilling, otherworldly, and wildly entertaining, The Interrupted Journey is an adventure that enraptured America and stands as the quintessential extraterrestrial encounter.  … (more)

It's an interesting read. Whether you believe in UFOs or not, it's an interesting read. And shows some of the politics of the day as well. ( )

Book description
The night that electrified the imagination of an entire generation,

Communion, one man's compelling story of an encounter with the unknown, is gripping the nation. But it was Betty and Barney Hill who first brought the astonishing  possibility to the world's attention in this unprecedented book. ON Sept 19, 1961, in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, they saw a bright object moving toward them through the sky.

The disturbing aftermath brought them to a noted psychiatrist. through seven months of intensive testing and hypnosis, the Hills, seen separately, told identical stories: they had been abducted by aliens and taken aboard a UFO!

John  Fuller's brilliant investigative account includes the tape transcriptions of their hypnotic sessions and their sketches. The most closely documented case of its kind on record.
It remains a classic.
