Summary
A couple reported two hours of missing time while driving in New Hampshire, and under separate hypnotic regression described consistent details of being taken aboard a craft. The case set the template for modern abduction accounts.
Detail
In September 1961, Betty and Barney Hill reported, while driving home at night through New Hampshire, seeing a bright object that followed them, after which roughly two hours of unexplained "missing time" occurred. Under separately conducted hypnotic regression, both later described consistent details of being taken aboard a craft and encountering humanoid beings. Documented in detail by investigators (including an Air Force officer), it became the template for modern "alien abduction" accounts. It rests on subjective experience and hypnotic regression, the evidentiary status of which is scientifically contested.
