Betty Hill dies at 85
I really didn't know who she was until I watched the short-lived series Dark Skies, but after that, I read about her in several different places. Betty Hill, sometimes known as "The Grandmother of UFOlogy" was, with her husband, the first widely-publicized UFO abduction. She died yesterday at the age of 85 years old, nearly thirty years after her husbands death in February of 1976.
For those of us who like to read the paranoid ramblings on the net, Barney and Betty Hill are an important in the subtopic of alien abduction history. Very notable is that the fact that they were an interracial couple, and because of that they made diligent effort not to be noticed by people. Betty Hill will be missed.
Read all about her here: Betty Hill Passes away at Age 85.
