Horrifying History

The Abduction of Betty and Barney Hill


Listen Later

Many people world wide believe in the existence of aliens. In recent polls; two thirds of both Americans and Canadians believe that there is intelligent life that exists on other planets. Scholars believe that public fascination with UFOs started in 1947 after a pilot flying in Washington state reported seeing disc-shaped objects in the sky with him. In the next decade; people thought that aliens were mostly benevolent intelligent beings, who came to our planet to offer advice or warnings.

Then came an event in September of 1961 that is considered to be the start of the public’s fascination concerning extraterrestrials. One night a couple was driving in the mountains of New Hampshire, and they saw a flying object in the sky. This is just the beginning of the event that still captivates people today.
