Betty and Barney Hill were an American couple who claimed to have been abducted by extraterrestrials in a rural portion of New Hampshire on September 19-20, 1961.
The couple's story, called the Hill Abduction, and occasionally the Zeta Reticuli Incident, was that they had been kidnapped for a short time by a UFO. Theirs was the first widely-publicized claim of alien abduction, adapted into the best-selling 1966 book The Interrupted Journey and the 1975 television movie The UFO Incident.
Its importance is such that many of Betty Hill's notes, tapes, and other items have been placed in a permanent collection at the University of New Hampshire, her alma mater.
As of July 2011, the site of the alleged craft's first close approach is marked by a state historical marker.
The Hills lived in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Barney (1922�1969) was employed by the U.S. Postal Service, while Betty (1919�2004) was a social worker. Active in a Unitarian congregation, the Hills were also members of the NAACP and community leaders, and Barney sat on a local board of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission.

This is an 'Out of this World' masterful art image - in more than one sense! There is a beautiful, almost sad expression in the face of this 'Alien' , proving that there are really No 'Aliens', because we are ALL Children of the Universe - with most probably the same dreams and hopes.
