Kathleen Marden is an award-winning researcher, author, on-camera commentator, hypnosis practitioner, and international conference presenter. She is the founder and past director of MUFON’s Experiencer Resource Team, and she is widely considered one of the leading UFO contact researchers of our time. Since 1990, Kathleen has researched and experienced the perplexing nature of contact with non-human entities. She has worked on three comprehensive studies on nearly 5,000 experiencers and has published six books. The story of Betty and Barney Hill is best told in her bestseller with nuclear physicist Stanton T. Friedman “Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience.”
Because Kathleen has told the story of her aunt and uncle so many times, I have narrated a brief summary of the Betty and Barney Hill Story for those not already familiar with it. This portion of the podcast is also available as a Video Exclusive Minisode on the YouTube channel (link below).
Kathleen and I discuss how this extraordinary event and the repercussions from it looked through her eyes, as she was just 13 years old at the time of the incident. She shares how the trajectory of her life was formed by the events and how she has maintained an “appropriate skepticism,” while conducting her own extensive research on this and other incidents involving non-human entities.
