The Most Interesting Alien Abduction Case Barney And Betty Hill part 4

Under hypnosis Betty's account was similar to the events of her five dreams about the UFO abduction but there were also notable differences mainly pertaining to her capture and release The technology on the craft was different The short men had a significantly different physical appearance from that of her dreams. The sequential order of the abduction event was also different from Betty's dream account Barney's and Betty's memories in hypnotic regression were consistent with one another but contradicted some of the information in Betty's dreams Betty exhibited considerable emotional distress during her capture and examination Simon ended one session early because tears were flowing down her cheeks and she appeared distressed Simon gave Betty the post hypnotic suggestion that she could sketch a copy of the "star map" that she later described as a three dimensional projection similar to a hologram Eventually, she did what Simon suggested Although she said the map had many stars she drew only those that stood out in her memory Her map consisted of twelve prominent stars connected by lines and three lesser ones that formed a distinctive triangle. She said she was told the stars connected by solid lines formed "trade routes" whereas dashed lines were to less traveled stars. After the hypnosis sessions Simon speculated that Barney's recollection of the UFO encounter was possibly a fantasy inspired by Betty's dreams Simon thought it was the most reasonable and consistent explanation Barney rejected this idea noting that while their memories were consistent in some regards there were also portions of both their narratives that were unique to each Barney was now ready to accept that they had been abducted by the occupants of a UFO though he never embraced it as fully as Betty did.
