CIA & the Hill Abduction Case
[Note: Val Germann is among the best-informed and insightful
reporters around on the UFO phenomenon and the intelligence community.
She has obviously done her homework and thoroughly debunks the “alien
hypothesis” with submerged facts that the intelligence services work
overtime to conceal. All right, I’m
partial, but I will be an unabashed fan of Val Germann’s as long as I
breathe. — AC]

#2 The Hill Abduction Case, 1961, source: Interrupted Journey
SEPT. 18-19 [Sept. 19-20] Barney and Betty Hill abducted in the
White Mountains of New Hampshire. They remember part of the
experience but have over 2 hours of “missing time,” of which they
are totally unaware at first. Barney remembers seeing huge object
with “fins with red lights on the ends” and “crew members behind
glass” panels at very short range. This object was more than 100
feet across and hovered 50 feet above the ground only 300 feet away
for several minutes Barney watched through binoculars.
SEPT. 20 Betty Hill calls her sister and
tells her part of the story. Sister then calls a local physicist
who suggested they check for radiation. Sister also calls local
police chief who suggests they call Pease AFB, Portsmouth, N.H.
Betty calls the Air Force Base, worried about radiation. The officer
who answers was at first “cynical and unresponsive” but finally did
ask to talk to Barney. After Barney mentioned the “fins with
lights” the officer perked up and said the call was being
“monitored”. Barney felt that the officer was definitely interested.
Barney did not mention the figures he had seen behind the glass
through binoculars.
SEPT. 21 Major Paul
Anderson, Intelligence Officer for the 100th Bomb Group, Pease
AFB, calls back, says he has stayed up all night working on a report
of this incident. Asked Barney for the size of the object. Barney
says it appeared as big as a dinner plate held at arms length.
Major Anderson filed a report with Blue Book, #100-1-61. SEPT. 23
Betty [Barney] Hill Goes to the local Library and finds one of Major
Donald Keyhoe’s books on UFOs. Takes down his address. SEPT. 26
Betty Hill writes to Keyhoe in Washington, D.C., describing the
incident as she remembers it. Fuller reports that NICAP (Keyhoe’s
organization) was getting 40,000 letters a year.
SEPT. 30 Ten days after the sighting Betty Hill begins
to have a series of vivid and awesome dreams, which Fuller does
not tell us about. They continue for five days and then stop. OCT. 4
Keyhoe is asked to lunch by Robert Hohman and someone named C.D.
Jackson, “senior engineer” for a “notable electronics company”, name
withheld. They are supposedly working on a paper about extra-
terrestrial contacts that Nikola Tesla, David Todd and Marconi
were alleged to have experienced in the early part of the century.
Keyhoe tells them about the Hills.
OCT. 21 Walter Webb, investigtaor for Keyhoe’s NICAP and an
astronomer [lec-turer] with the Hayden Planetarium, New York,
N.Y., comes to interview the Hills. He is there several hours. Betty
does not tell him about her dreams. Barney tells of the “captain” and
others he saw through the glass. OCT. 25? Betty begins to have a
series of dreams following an experience in the car. She had panicked
as she and Barney had come upon a stalled auto in the road with
some people standing around it. That night she dreamed of being
taken into a UFO and given some sort of examination. OCT. 26
Webb’s report goes to NICAP in Washington. He had not been
contacted by Keyhoe directly but through the mail by Richard Hall,
NICAP’s secretary. He had been skeptical. He was very much impressed
by the Hills, however. NOV. 3 Hohman and Jackson write the
Hills asking for an interview. They tell the Hills that they are
serious minded men whose interest is in “verifying the origin of
these vehicles according to existing scientific theory maintained
by Hermann Oberth.” Oberth was of V-2 rocket fame. They did not
reveal their place of employment but permission was granted. NOV.
25 Hohman and Jackson come to the house to interview the Hills.
“Also visiting that day” is Major James McDonald, a long-time friend
of the Hills and an Air Force intelligence officer. It appears he
asks no questions about who Homan and Jackson are. The Hills had
“discussed the case many times with Maj. McDonald.” The three of them
spend 12 hours talking to the Hills about their experience, including
the “men” behind the glass. Major McDonald suggests hypnosis but
does not know any therapists. The matter rests here for some time.
Both Hills begin to be concerned about the incident and the
chance they may have been hallucinating. MAR., 1962 Betty Hill
writes to a doctor recommended by a colleague. The Hills see him
and tell their stories. The doctor recommends they wait and see if
the problem subsides on its own. No therapy is attempted. SUMMER,
1962 Barney begins to see a psychiatrist about his anxiety but only
briefly mentions the UFO incident. SEPT., 1962 The Hills are
invited to a “UFO Study Group” to informally talk about their
experience. That meeting is taped, by whom Fuller does not say,
unknown to the Hills. Betty talked of her dreams, the dream of the
physical examination. SEPT., 1963 The Hills tell their
church discussion group about the UFO inci-dent. That same day
Captain Ben Swett, from Pease AFB, was to talk about hyp-nosis, which
he had made a personal hobby of his. The Hills are encouraged by
Major McDonald to talk to their church friends about their experience
and en-couraged by Capt. Swett to undergo hypnosis. Barney is
experiencing extreme psychological disturbances as a result of
the UFO sighting and abduction. He would die in the late 1960’s at
the age of 46. Television movie THE UFO INCIDENT with James Earl Jones
and Estelle Parsons. Dr. Simon had been technical advisor on a
WWII movie made by John Huston called LET THERE BE LIGHT. JUNE, 1964
Sessions with Dr. Simon end. FALL [Oct.], 1965 Sensational articles
run in Boston newspaper about the Hills experience. Information
taken from tape made at the Sept., 1962 “UFO Study Group” meeting,
provenance unknown. NOV., 1965 Unitarian Church in Dover, N.H.,
invites the Hills to talk. Hills meet with Admiral Knowles, NICAP,
before they speak. Also on program is a Public Information Officer
from Pease, AFB, who is a member of the Church [not a church member]
and has helped set up the event. He does not attack the Hills. At
this time a huge UFO flap was underway in the area and hundreds of
people were turned away from the church on a cold and raw evening.
The usual attendance for the weekly Unitarian sessions: 40 people.
AS YOU CAN SEE from the simple chronology above (assembled from
John
Fuller’s book with difficulty) there is more going on in the Hill
case
than meets the eye. WHO WERE “HOMANN and C.D. Jackson?” Who were
they
really working for? Why was a “major electronics firm” paying them
to
investigate 60-year-old fairy tales about Nikola Tesla?
What
“scientific theories” held by Hermann Oberth could be of interest to
an
“electronics firm.” What we actually have here is a “cover”
for
intelligence activity. IN ALIENS FROM SPACE, 1973, Keyhoe says
that
these two “engineers” were “aiding NICAP.” That is not the
impression
that is given in Fuller’s book. In INTERRUPTED JOURNEY the
strong
impression is that these two gentlemen simply had an
independent
interest due to a strange research assignment from their company.
This
could be accepted in 1966. In 1990 we know better. YOU SEE, by the
fall
of 1963 a gentleman named C.D. Jackson was working for Time/
Life
Corporation in an executive position. In fact, he was helping
to
arrange a $25,000 payment to the widow of Lee Harvey Oswald. IN
CASE
YOU HAVE forgotten, Time/Life bought the Zapruder Film for $150,000
and
then made sure it was not shown as a film for many years. Then, when
it
was shown, it had been obviously altered. David Lifton in BEST
EVIDENCE
says that the film was at the CIA’s photo interpretation lab the
day
Time/Life bought it. DOES THE FACT THAT Donald Keyhoe had lunch
with
C.D. Jackson just after getting Betty Hill’s letter “resonate”
with
you? It does with this author. Donald Keyhoe was, in
UFOsearch’s
opinion, running a two-track operation. In the public and
with his
organization he was not interested in “contactee” stories. But on
deep background he was involved with another investigation, one
connected with the intelligence community. Were they running him?
CONSIDER THIS. In ALIENS FROM SPACE Keyhoe says that “A well-known
journalist, John Fuller, had learned of the case in a confidential
talk at NICAP. It was arranged that he should prepare the record
using Dr. Simon’s taped questions and the Hill’s answers.” Then
Keyhoe says: INTERRUPTED JOURNEY received a surprising amount of
serious attention compared to the usual treatment of “contactee
stories.” How interesting. YES—AND THE “abduction story” has
become a staple of the UFO investigator. Indeed, the sanitized
Hill story became the ONLY abduction movie ever made --- before
COMMUNION, 1989. And the Hill saga appeared only on the small screen,
it never ran in theaters. The same could almost be said for
COMMUNION which was not widely distributed and died a very quick
death. It will be in video stores by mid-1990 which, I think, is
the idea. OTHER QUESTIONS: How did it happen that one of the Hill’s
best friends was an Air Force Intelligence Officer who just happened
to be visiting the day that Hohman and Jackson showed up?
Isn’t it interesting that they were the ones who first made the
Hills aware of their “missing time?” Isn’t it interesting that they
were the ones who suggested hypnosis? ISN’T IT INTERESTING that the
man finally called in to do the regressions on the Hills was the
Executive officer of the Army’s main psychiatric hospital during
World War II, who did his undergraduate work at Johns Hopkins
University whose wartime president was a member of MAJESTIC-12 and
who was the technical advisor on the major WWII propaganda film made
by the famous director John Huston? The Hills went through two other
therapists before going to Simon. Did they have the money to pay this
gentlemen, who must have been very, very expensive? This is
something Fuller does not talk about. Did NICAP pay their way?
UNPLEASANT POSSIBILITY The Hills were “set up” by the people dealing
with the so-called “Greys” out in New Mexico. The Hill case was
either a deep-cover check on what the “Greys” were doing under
the “agreement” or it was an even deeper-cover attempt at
“disinformation” to get “abductions” in play—safely.
