On a summer night in 1961, Betty and Barney Hill were driving home through New Hampshire when a bright object appeared in the show more 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.

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.

Betty and Barney Hill confront something quite otherworldly on their way home to New Hampshire from a short trip to Canada and Niagara Falls. An unusual light seems to track their travel, sometimes getting close enough to evidence to them that it's not just a plane or helicopter. Eventually, Barney gets out of the car and approaches the light to see what appears to be a UFO, piloted by non-human beings. Then, they lose a couple of hours in their trip to find themselves pulling into their hometown. They don't tell anyone, at first, but suffer through their own existential challenges over what they experienced. Eventually, they see a psychotherapist who uses hypnosis to get at the events they can't recall.
Whether you're a believer or not, show more this is a riveting read, complete with transcriptions of their hypnotic sessions. Their stories are remarkably similar, though appropriately different based on their individual experiences and perspectives during the events.

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.
