Description: The Betty and Barney Hill Historical Marker in New Hampshire commemorates the first widely publicized and well-documented alien abduction case in the United States. Located in the White Mountains, the marker details the extraordinary events of September 19-20, 1961, when the Hills, an interracial couple from Portsmouth, claimed to have been abducted by extraterrestrial beings while driving home from a vacation in Canada. Their account, which included descriptions of a UFO sighting and subsequent missing time, was later investigated by various researchers and became a significant part of UFO lore. The historical marker not only highlights the Hills' experience but also underscores the cultural and historical impact of their story on American society and the broader discourse on extraterrestrial life.
