ReviewedIn the early 1960s, Betty and Barney Hill had a wild story to tell: they believed they were abducted by aliens! This graphic narrative tells their story, from the night of the abduction to their later struggles to understand what happened. Alternate explanations explore other perspectives, while a timeline clarifies the sequence of events. Could the Hills have encountered beings from beyond this planet?
'A graphic-novel format with expressive, action-filled illustrations relates the curse of King Tut's tomb, the Mothman sightings, a disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle, and other strange events. Each book in the series concludes with theories behiind these mysterious incidents.', Angela Leeper, Booklist,'The graphic-novel format of the Paranormal Mysteries series (6 titles) makes an already high-interest topic extremely accessible. This readable volume tracks the strange experience of Betty and Barney Hill, who claimed to have been abducted by aliens while driving near Lincoln, New Hampshire, in 1961. Shaken by their experience and accompanying memory loss, the couple saw a psychiatrist and eventually reported the event to a nearby air force base; when the news ultimately leaked to the newspapers, it became widely debated. With illustrations done in a dark, eerie palette, this reads like a tense piece of fiction; back matter includes a time line, theories (other than aliens) behind the Hills' experience, and a list of further resources. Conspiracy theorists, Area 51 enthusiasts, and reluctant readers will all have their interest piqued.', Angela Leeper, Booklist
