The 2007 book "Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience" will be adapted to a movie. The book is based on the story of the New Hampshire couple who claimed to have been abducted by aliens in 1961.
The abduction allegedly took placed on Sept. 19, 1961, while they were on their way home from Niagara Falls. The incident was reported by the couple to the Air Force who was interviewed by National Investigations Committee On Aerial Phenomena probers
The two also underwent hypnosis to provide more details of the alleged abduction by extraterrestrials, reports Comicbookresources.com. It was the first alien abduction story on record.
To prove she was telling the truth, Betty drew an alien star map, reports Mirror. However, experts debunked her claim since there was no constellation that resembled the formation she recounted.
But David Saunders, a statistician, says that Betty appears to be telling the truth since her drawing is similar to the Zeta Reticuli, a star system found in the southern constellation of Reticulum. In defending Betty, Saunders says that she could not just have randomly drawn the sketch of the star map which was shown to Betty by the leader of the aliens when she asked from what planet they came from.
According to Betty's testimony, she and Barney were taken by the aliens to separate rooms and they placed her on a stool. Her eyes, ears, not and throat were examined. They placed her on a table later to examine her nervous system.
"Then they tried to insert a needle-like instrument in my navel which caused pain so they stopped doing it. Barney's exam was very much like mine in the beginning except they were interested in his bone structure," recalled Betty who died in 2004.
Mirror's online survey says 73 percent of its reader believe that Betty was telling the truth.
A docu of the incident was made into a 1-hour, 35-minute movie in 1975, seen below.
