Betty Hill of Portsmouth, other half
of UFO couple, dies at 85

By BRUNO MATARAZZO Jr.
Democrat Staff Writer

PORTSMOUTH - Betty Hill of Portsmouth, who along
with her late husband in 1961, had the first publicized
and best-documented UFO experience in the
White Mountains, died Sunday in her sleep after
a battle with lung cancer. She was 85.

On a return trip from Canada, the Hills said they
were abducted for two hours by a UFO on
Sept. 19, 1961. After going public with their
story, the two gained worldwide notoriety.

Their story became the subject of a book
and later, a made-for-TV movie starring
James Earl Jones and Estelle Parsons.
They traveled across the country and
made numerous television and radio
appearances telling their story.

When her husband, Barney, died in
1969, Ms. Hill continued the job alone.
In 1995, she published, "A Common
Sense Approach to UFOs,"

Ms. Hill's life was not all about UFOs.
She was a social worker for the state
of New Hampshire where she trained
foster parents and worked in the area of adoption.
She was also an activist throughout her life
where she was a member of the NAACP
and a founding member of the Rockingham
County Community Action.
