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.
