By now the object had swung toward them and hovered silently in the air not more than a short city block away, not more than two treetops high. It was raked on an angle, and its full shape was apparent for the first time: that of a large glowing pancake..."

-From The Interrupted Journey by John G. Fuller (Dell; 1967), page 30.

    Hey Tony,

    You're right. People have wondered for nearly fifty years now about the veracity of Barney and Betty Hill's story of that night, and their abduction by aliens.

    I finished reading the book over the New Years holiday, and it's a great book. You really get sucked in (even if certain questions nag at you...).

    If you're interested in the Hill story, then this book also comes highly recommended:
