Description
On the night of September 19, 1961, while driving home from a brief holiday, Betty and Barney Hill claimed to be abducted by beings from another planet.

What is the psychological nature, and the potential implications, of these experiences? This week, Drs. Micono and Morelos use the case of Barney and Betty Hill to take a look at the topic of alien abduction.
