Alien Abduction: Betty and Barney Hill

Sammy Wellons & Riley Weekes Episode 14

Have you ever wondered where all the typical alien tropes in movies and TV shows come from? Well look no further than the abduction that started them all! A belated honeymoon delayed by most people's worst nightmare - this week we discuss the abduction of Betty and Barney Hill. 

As a note to our listeners: apologies for the audio quality on last week's episode, we're trying to fix it but something was wrong with our recording equipment. Thank you all for sticking around and supporting!
