The story centres on Betty Andreasson, an American woman who, in 1967, claimed to have experienced an encounter with extra-terrestrial beings; succumbing to multiple tests and observations aboard their alien spacecraft. 

The tale is truly terrifying, if it is indeed true, as many sceptics have attempted to discredit her version of events; similar to the scrutiny suffered by Betty and Barney Hill in 1961, who were also the subject of an alien abduction. 

From the arrival of the beings at her house, to the abduction and operations conducted on Betty and ultimate reflection through hypnosis, this is a story you don’t want to miss. In 1979, Raymond Fowler wrote the first of four books discussing what became known as the "Andreasson Affair" , which has kept it at the forefront of UFO and conspiracy theory groups. So, what really happened that night in 1967?
