Perhaps one of the most famous ‘alien abductees’, Betty Hill, died on Sunday from lung cancer, aged 85. Betty and her husband Barney gained worldwide headlines when they reported being abducted for two hours by a UFO on September 19th, 1961, while driving home from Canada – one of the first major cases of abduction published. Their story became the subject of the book The Interrupted Journey , and was later made into a movie starring James Earl Jones and Estelle Parsons as Barney and Betty.
