Publisher's Synopsis
On a summer night in 1961, Betty and Barney Hill were driving home through New Hampshire when a bright object appeared in the sky. It didn't resemble a satellite or airplane or star, but it seemed to be following their car along the freeway. When the couple finally pulled over to try to get a better look, the object vanished before their eyes. With nothing else to do, Betty and Barney returned to their car and kept driving into the night. Arriving home the next morning, there were more ominous signs: scuff marks on Barney's shoes; inexplicable spots on the trunk of their car. The trip left them rattled, but what came next was even more arresting: the Hills realized they couldn't remember anything for almost two hours of their drive. Time itself had disappeared, so the couple began looking for help, hoping to uncover what happened that mysterious night. Captivating and unputdownable, The Interrupted Journey is the complete story of those missing hours and the Hills' nearly identical accounts-as revealed to doctors under psychotherapy and hypnosis-which stands as one of the most extraordinary UFO tales of our time. Thrilling, otherworldly, and wildly entertaining, The Interrupted Journey is an adventure that enraptured America and stands as the quintessential extraterrestrial encounter.
