Via columbina [6], “Alien Abduction [7]”

I'm guessing that this debunking article won't go over very well in Rachel,
Nevada [8]. It's also long, but well worth reading since everything about the
Betty and Barney Hill abduction [9] is debunked.

I also found it helped to use Google Maps [10] to help follow along on that
fateful roadtrip forty-six years ago.
