ning. Hazily at first, and then more vividly, it came back to him that, after driving away from the "sighting" of the craft, they were stopped farther up the road by a group of men whom Hill first suspected were robbers. No such prosaic experience was in store for them, however.

There were six men, dressed alike in dark clothing. They took Hill from the car, half carrying, half dragging him up a ramp to what appeared to be a hospital operating room.

He was placed on a table and a cup was clamped around his groin. He experienced no fear or feeling that he was

going to be harmed and when the "experiment" was completed, for whatever purpose it was performed, he was released from the craft in an almost jovial frame of mind and returned to his car.

Betty Hill's recollections were similar but more detailed and graphic than her husband's when it came time for her to be placed under hypnosis. She recalled the original "sighting" and of later being stopped on the highway by the group of men they first thought to be bandits. Here her story assumed more definition and revealed more nightmarish aspects than had that of Barney Hill.

She was taken from the car by men who spoke fluent English but with some unrecognizable accent. She was led into the "ship" ahead of her husband and taken to a separate room where she was examined by what she assumed to be a doctor under a machine she thought was a microscope with large lens. They took scrapings from her skin, examined her eyes and ears, took hair samples and a snip of fingernail.

An instrument full of needle clusters was run over her body and the procedure was completed by sticking a long needle into her navel.

This was the only phase of the experience to which physical pain attached and when she cried out, the leader rubbed his hands in front of her eyes and the pain went away. He explained to her that he had been conducting a pregnancy test and seemed distressed that she had felt pain.

She was allowed to dress then and fell into friendly conversation with the leader. She asked if she could take some proof of her visit with her and when he agreed, she settled on a book, the pages of which were covered with hieroglyphics . . . sharp lines, thin lines, dots, curves. But when she was leaving the craft, another examiner spotted the book and insisted that she return it. She was forced to relinquish the only evidence she had of her remarkable experience.

In later sessions, the subjects "recalled" that their "hosts" did not actually speak to them, but got across their thoughts through some form of mental telepathy.

Barney described the humanoids as having large heads, diminishing toward the chin. Their eyes continued partially around the sides of their heads, affording a much broader range of vision than is provided for known humans. The mouths were horizontal lines and the sound emitted was a "mmmmming" one. Their skins were a metallic gray and Hill could recall only two slits for a nose.

The conclusions drawn were that there had been an actual sighting. That it had been of sufficient consequence to bring on a severe emotional reaction. That the Hills had nothing to gain from publicity and that they made no effort to, were, as a matter of fact, reluctant to discuss the incident even among friends. That there was a measure of physical evidence to support their "recollected under hypnosis" story.

Medical men extracted what was pertinent to their profession from the doctor's experiment.

ATIC examined the reports for that information which would lend enlightenment to their own investigation.

Scientists followed the fascinating procedure with avid interest.

The sensation seeker drew from the disclosures every item that answered his demands.

Investigators whose interests were concentrated primarily on the possibility of UFO landings and physical encounter continued to probe the unique and mysterious experience, bearing in mind as they proceeded that the eminent scientist Walter Webb was convinced "the incident occurred exactly as reported."
