Today, 46 years after the UFO abduction of Betty and Barney Hill, more and more people are convinced that UFO's are real and that governments are covering up their existence. If you have doubts or questions about the Hill case or alien experiences ingeneral, CAPTURED! will give you the answers you're searching for. The 1961 abduction of the Hills stirred worldwide interest, primarily because of the book The Interrupted Journey, the subsequent media coverage and a 1975 TV movie, The UFO Incident. The case is mentioned in almost all UFO abduction books. It, also, became a target for debunkers, who still attack it today. But the complete story of what really happened that day, its effect on the participants and the findings of investigators has never been tolduntil now. In CAPTURED!...you'll get an insider's look at the alien abduction, previously unpublished information about the lives of the Hills before and after Barney's death in 1969, their status as celebrities, Betty's experiences as a UFO investigator and other activities before her death in 2004. Kathleen Marden, Betty Hill's niece, shares details from her discussions with Betty and from the evidence of the UFO abduction. She, also, looks at the Hill's riveting hypnosis sessions about their time onboard the spacecraft. The transcripts of these sessions provide insight into the character of the aliens, including their curiosity, their democratic discussions and their desire to avoid inflicting pain. In addition, co-author, physicist and ufologist Stanton T. Friedman, the original civilian investigator of the Roswell Incident, reviews and refutes the arguments of those who have attacked the Hill case, including the star map Betty Hill saw inside the craft and later recreated. Considering in most UFO books the Hills abduction is always presented and described in a very standard, yet poor way, a book that finally makes the point is truly welcome. As I wrote about "Hidden History: Lost Civilizations, Secret Knowledge, And Ancient Mysteries", I can state once again this book fills a gap in ufology, becoming a must read for everyone. First and most important, it's Betty's niece to describe the case and not the last among enthusiasts. Second, contrary to other books, this one is well written and filled with accurate informations I had never read. Third, it was time for Friedman to author something else from Majestic-12. Marden's memories and archive, coupled with Friedman's writing skills and the always fabulous graphic design from the publisher have created another good book. Well done!
