Monsters and Mysteries in America (2013–…): Season 2, Episode 9 - Alien Abduction - full transcript

Narrator: BARNEY AND BETTY HILL,
THE COUPLE AT THE CENTER

OF AMERICA'S FIRST CASE
OF ALIEN ABDUCTION.

WE HAVE TAPES OF THE
CONVERSATIONS UNDER HYPNOSIS.

THE EXAMINER,
HE TOOK ME OUT.

ALIENS HAVE HER ON A TABLE.

THIS EXAMINER PRODUCED
A VERY LONG NEEDLE.

[ CRACKLING, FIZZLING ]

[ SCREAMS ]

Narrator: A WOMAN DISCOVERS HER
DEAD HUSBAND CLONED BY ALIENS.

Gloria: TO SEE MY HUSBAND
WALKING TOWARDS ME --

AND I SAID, "NO, IT'S NOT YOU.
YOU DIED."



[ Voice breaking ] THEN,
I LOOK AROUND AT THE GREYS,

AND I TELL THEM,

"WHAT KIND OF A DIRTY TRICK
ARE YOU DOING TO ME?"

[ SCREAMS ]

Narrator: TRAINED BY ALIENS
FOR IMMINENT PLANETARY WAR.

Richard: THIS IS COMPLETELY
AGAINST YOUR WILL.

[ GROWLS ]

YOU HAVE NO CHOICE.

YOU WILL DO IT.

IT'S JUST TERRIBLE.

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

Narrator: FOR DECADES,

REPORTS OF CLOSE ENCOUNTERS
WITH EXTRATERRESTRIALS



HAVE TOUCHED AND TROUBLED
NEARLY EVERY CORNER OF AMERICA.

IT LOOKED LIKE A CIGAR SHAPE,
AND IT WAS JUST REAL BRIGHT.

JUST -- JUST OUT OF SIGHT.

Narrator:
AS THE YEARS GO BY,

THE STORIES ONLY ESCALATE
IN TERROR.

AND THEY WERE PERFORMING
MEDICAL EXPERIMENTS ON HIM.

Narrator: ABDUCTIONS,
BIZARRE EXAMINATIONS,

UNEXPLAINED MISSING TIME.

A WHITE, GLEAMING OBJECT
CAME OUT OF THE HEAVENS.

Narrator: IT MAY SEEM
LIKE ALIEN-ABDUCTION STORIES

HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WITH US.

THEY ACTUALLY BEGAN
WITH A SINGLE CASE

AND ONE REMARKABLE COUPLE,
BETTY AND BARNEY HILL,

AMERICA'S FIRST ALIEN ABDUCTEES.

IN NEW HAMPSHIRE,
U.S. ROUTE 3 WINDS ITS WAY

THROUGH THE SCENIC
WHITE MOUNTAINS.

A FEW MILES NORTH OF LINCOLN,
NEW HAMPSHIRE,

A SMALL STATE SIGN MAKES NOTE

OF A CURIOUS MOMENT
IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

Huneeus: THE BARNEY AND
BETTY HILL CASE IS SO UNIQUE

BECAUSE, PRIOR TO THEIR CASE,
THERE WAS NO PRECEDENT.

Friedman: THE HILLS' STORY WAS
THE FIRST ABDUCTION STORY

THAT GOT ANY PUBLICITY.

IT WAS THE FIRST ONE
THAT WE EVER HEARD ABOUT.

Narrator: NOW THIS HISTORIC CASE
OF ABDUCTION TAKES A FRESH TURN.

TRANSCRIPTS OF THE COUPLE
UNDER HYPNOSIS,

THE SESSIONS
WHERE EACH RELIVED THE ORDEAL,

OFFER A WINDOW INTO THEIR ALIEN
ENCOUNTER AS NEVER BEFORE.

HE TOOK ME OUT.

OH, THERE IT IS!
OH, GOD.

GOD! WHAT IS IT?!

Narrator:
BETTY AND BARNEY HILL

WERE A RESPECTABLE
MARRIED COUPLE

LIVING IN PORTSMOUTH,
NEW HAMPSHIRE.

BETTY WAS A SOCIAL WORKER,
VERY ACTIVE IN THE CHURCH.

BARNEY WORKED
FOR THE POST OFFICE,

WAS VERY ACTIVE IN CIVIL RIGHTS.

HE WAS ON THE GOVERNOR'S
CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSION.

SO, THEY WERE LIVING
A BUSY, SATISFYING LIFE.

THEY CERTAINLY
DIDN'T NEED ANYTHING

ABOUT A FLYING-SAUCER STORY
TO FOUL UP THEIR LIVES.

Narrator:
IN SEPTEMBER 1961,

BARNEY AND BETTY
WERE RETURNING HOME

AFTER VISITING MONTREAL
AND NIAGARA FALLS.

THEY WERE RELAXED.

THEY HAD HAD A GOOD NIGHT'S REST
THE NIGHT BEFORE.

AND THEY WERE
IN A HAPPY-GO-LUCKY MOOD.

Narrator: WHEN THEY APPROACHED
LINCOLN, NEW HAMPSHIRE,

ON STATE HIGHWAY 3,

THEIR VACATION TOOK A BIZARRE
AND TERRIFYING DETOUR.

BETTY WAS TAKING
IN THE SIGHTS AROUND HER

WHEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, WHAT
APPEARED TO BE A FALLING STAR --

ONLY IT FELL UPWARD...
WHAT IS THAT?

...APPEARED IN THE SKY
AND THEN STOPPED

AND STARTED MOVING IN CLOSER
AND CLOSER.

I-I THINK
THAT'S A PLANE, HONEY.

[ SIGHS ]

Friedman:
SHE WAS CURIOUS.

IT WAS THE MOTION OF THE THING
THAT REALLY GOT TO HER.

Marden: IT WAS FLASHING
MULTICOLORED LIGHTS.

AS SHE WATCHED,
THE STAR GREW LARGER AND LARGER.

THEN, IT MOVED WEST,

AND IT VERY RAPIDLY CAME BACK IN
BETTY'S AND BARNEY'S DIRECTION.

Narrator: THEN,
THE UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT

BEGAN MOVING
DIRECTLY TOWARD THEM.

STOP THE CAR.
THAT'S NO SATELLITE.

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
WAS SHEER TERROR.

[ SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY ]

[ SCREAMS ]

SOMEHOW, THE NIGHTMARE WAS OVER.

YET, TWO HOURS OF MISSING TIME
HAD TRANSPIRED.

[ THUNDER CRASHES, RUMBLES ]

Marden: THEY HAD NO IDEA
WHAT HAD HAPPENED.

THEY LOST ALL MEMORY
OF WHAT OCCURRED.

Narrator: RECOVERING
THOSE MEMORIES WOULD BECOME

ONE OF THE MOST FASCINATING
TALES OF ALIEN ABDUCTION.

[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]

AT FIRST, THE ONLY THING
THE HILLS KNEW --

THEY WERE MILES AWAY FROM WHERE
THEY INITIALLY SAW THE UFO

AND CERTAIN SOMETHING TERRIBLE
HAD HAPPENED.

WHEN THEY ARRIVED HOME, THE
EVIDENCE COULDN'T BE IGNORED.

Marden: BETTY'S DRESS WAS TORN
DOWN ON ONE SIDE,

AND THE LINING WAS TORN
FROM WAIST TO HEMLINE.

Narrator:
THE DRESS QUICKLY BEGAN TO FADE,

THE FABRIC COATED IN A STRANGE,
PINK, POWDERY SUBSTANCE.

THE TOPS OF BARNEY'S BEST DRESS
SHOES WERE DEEPLY SCRAPED.

THE WATCHES THAT THEY WERE
WEARING THAT NIGHT

HAD STOPPED OPERATING.

BETTY FOUND UNUSUAL,
SHINY CIRCLES

ON THE TRUNK OF HER VEHICLE.

Narrator: THEIR NIECE KATHLEEN
REMEMBERS THE INCIDENT VIVIDLY.

Marden: I WAS 13 YEARS OLD
WHEN BETTY CALLED MY MOTHER

TO TELL HER ABOUT
THE CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH A UFO

THE NIGHT BEFORE.

WHEN I HEARD
THERE WAS MISSING TIME

AND THERE WAS PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
AND THAT THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY

THAT BETTY AND BARNEY
WERE ACTUALLY CAPTURED,

I BECAME VERY CONCERNED
AND WORRIED AND FRIGHTENED.

Narrator: THE FAMILY
KEPT THE ENCOUNTER SECRET.

THE HILLS AIMED TO RETURN
TO THEIR NORMAL ROUTINE.

Friedman: THEY HAD NO INTEREST
IN SCIENCE FICTION,

DIDN'T HAVE ANY UFO BOOKS
AT HOME.

UFOs WEREN'T THEIR THING.

THEY WERE AFRAID PEOPLE
WOULD THINK THEY WERE CRAZY.

THEY'D LOSE THEIR JOBS.

THEY HAD NOTHING TO GAIN
AND EVERYTHING TO LOSE.

Narrator: ONLY THEY COULDN'T
KEEP BURIED THE TRAUMA

OF WHAT THEY HAD EXPERIENCED.

Marden:
BARNEY STARTED TO HAVE SYMPTOMS

OF POST-TRAUMATIC
STRESS DISORDER.

HE WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY
SLEEPING AT NIGHT,

AND THIS WAS AFFECTING
HIS JOB PERFORMANCE.

HE ENDED UP ACTUALLY
TAKING A LEAVE OF ABSENCE

BECAUSE HE DEVELOPED
A BLEEDING ULCER.

Narrator:
THE HILLS KNEW THEY NEEDED HELP.

THE DOCTOR RECOMMENDED
THEY SEE DR. BENJAMIN SIMON.

RELAX COMPLETELY
AND GO INTO A DEEP SLEEP.

HE'S THE WORLD EXPERT

ON DEALING WITH WHAT WAS THEN
CALLED SHELL SHOCK.

TODAY, IT'S PTSD.

Narrator: DR. SIMON WAS FILMED
TREATING THIS G.I.

WOUNDED ON OKINAWA ISLAND
DURING WORLD WAR II.

WHERE ARE
THEY TAKING YOU?

WE USED HYPNOSIS TO HELP
THESE WAR VETERANS

GET THEIR LIVES BACK.

Narrator:
IN FEBRUARY OF 1964,

DR. SIMON HYPNOTIZED BARNEY
AND BETTY HILL

IN SEPARATE SESSIONS,
RECORDING HOURS OF AUDIO TAPE,

DOCUMENTING THEIR
SUBCONSCIOUS MEMORIES

ABOUT THEIR UFO ENCOUNTER.

YOU'RE VERY SLEEPY.

YOU CAN REMEMBER
EVERYTHING NOW.

IT'S RIGHT OVER MY RIGHT.

GOD, WHAT IS THAT?

ONCE UNLOCKED BY HYPNOSIS,

THEIR MEMORIES
REVEAL KEY MOMENTS

IN THE MISSING TIMELINE...

STOP THE CAR.

...AND HOW THE ENCOUNTER
WITH THE ALIENS

UNFOLDED FROM THE BEGINNING.

WHEN BARNEY AND BETTY
FIRST PULLED OFF THE ROAD,

THEY WERE JUST CURIOUS

ABOUT THE STRANGE STAR
SOMEHOW HEADING THEIR WAY.

Friedman:
NOBODY AROUND.

THERE'S NO TRAFFIC
LATE AT NIGHT.

AND THIS THING COMES CLOSE.

I PUT THE GUN
IN MY COAT.

AND IT'S THERE.

STAY RIGHT HERE.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

Marden: THIS OBJECT WAS
ABOUT 1,000 FEET AWAY FROM HIM

AT THAT POINT.

AND IT SUDDENLY
CHANGED DIRECTION

AND DESCENDED VERY RAPIDLY
TOWARD HIM.

BARNEY STARTED TO FEEL CONCERNED

AS THIS THING STARTED
TO DESCEND TOWARD HIM

BECAUSE HE COULD NOT HEAR
A SOUND.

AND HE SHOULD HAVE HEARD A SOUND
IF IT WERE A PLANE.

Friedman: IT WAS ONLY WHEN
IT CAME A LOT CLOSER --

AND HE'S WATCHING WITH
BINOCULARS THIS ROUND OBJECT --

THAT SUDDENLY IT TOOK ON
A WHOLE NEW DIMENSION.

OH, GOD. OH.

NO, WAIT.
WHAT IS IT?!

Narrator:
IN THE EARLY 1960s,

BARNEY AND BETTY HILL WERE
HEADED HOME FROM VACATION.

STOP THE CAR.

AN UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT
INTERRUPTED THEIR DRIVE.

IN THE AFTERMATH, THEY ONLY KNEW
THEY'D BEEN THROUGH HELL.

BY MEANS OF A SERIES
OF HYPNOSIS SESSIONS,

WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO THE HILLS
THAT NIGHT WAS FINALLY REVEALED.

GOD, I'M SCARED.

Marden: THEY GOT OUT OF THE CAR
AND LOOKED UP AT THIS CRAFT.

AND BARNEY TOOK HIS GUN,
HE TOOK HIS BINOCULARS,

AND HE WALKED OUT INTO THE FIELD

LOOKING UP
AT THIS AMAZING SIGHT.

Narrator: ALTHOUGH BARNEY
APPEARED CALM FOR BETTY'S SAKE,

AS THE HYPNOSIS SESSIONS
WOULD REVEAL,

BARNEY WAS SCARED
FOR THEIR LIVES.

I TRY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL

SO BETTY DOES NOT SEE
THAT I'M SCARED.

GOD, I'M SCARED.

Dr. Simon:
IT'S ALL RIGHT.

YOU GO RIGHT ON
AND EXPERIENCE IT.

Marden: DR. SIMON WAS FORCING
HIM TO UNCOVER THOSE MEMORIES

THAT HE WANTED TO BLOCK.

I GOT TO GET MY GUN.
OH, THERE IT IS!

OH, GOD. GOD!
W-WHAT IS IT?!

AND THIS BROUGHT FORTH
A TREMENDOUS RELEASE OF EMOTION.

OH, THERE IT IS
UP THERE!

THIS WAS PENT UP INSIDE OF HIM.

WHAT IS IT?
WHAT IS THAT?

Friedman: THE EMOTIONAL
INTENSITY IS SO GREAT

THAT IT MATCHES THAT OF ANY OF
THE SHELL-SHOCKED WAR VETERANS

DR. SIMON WORKED WITH.

WHY DOESN'T IT
GO AWAY?

Narrator: IT WAS AS IF THE UFO
WAS SUMMONING THEM.

Friedman: AND THEY COULD SEE
INSIDE THE WINDOWS

AND SEE THERE WERE BEINGS THERE
OF SOME KIND.

AND THEY MOVED
IN A PRECISE FASHION.

HE SUDDENLY LOCKED EYES
WITH SOMEBODY THERE.

HE GOT VERY FRIGHTENED.

ARE YOU A CAPTAIN?
WHAT IS HE?

Marden:
BARNEY DESCRIBED THIS LEADER

AS BEING DRESSED
IN A BLACK UNIFORM.

HE KNEW THAT THIS WAS NOT
A HUMAN BEING

THAT HE WAS LOOKING UP AT.

THE LEADER COMMUNICATED
A MESSAGE TO BARNEY

THAT HE SHOULD JUST STAY THERE
AND JUST KEEP LOOKING.

NO HARM WOULD COME TO HIM.

PLEASE.

AND BARNEY BECAME TERRIFIED...

OH, GOD.

...FEARING THAT,
IF HE REMAINED IN THAT FIELD,

HE WOULD BE CAPTURED -- HE
STATED, "LIKE A BUG IN A NET."

HE FOUND THAT HE COULDN'T PULL
THE BINOCULARS

AWAY FROM HIS EYES.

DON'T LOOK AT ME!

IT TOOK A GREAT DEAL OF STRENGTH
TO DO THIS.

AND WHEN HE FINALLY DID,
THE LEATHER STRAP BROKE...

...AND HE RAN BACK TO THE CAR...

GET IN THE CAR!
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!

...SCREAMING.

[ ENGINE REVS ]

Narrator: BARNEY AND BETTY
TEAR DOWN THE HIGHWAY

CONVINCED THE ALIENS
ARE IN PURSUIT.

KEEP WATCHING FOR IT.

I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.

BETTY PUT HER BODY OUT AS FAR
AS SHE COULD AND LOOKED UP.

SHE AND BARNEY STARTED TO HEAR
A SERIES OF BUZZING SOUNDS

THAT SEEMED TO BE STRIKING
THE TRUNK OF THE CAR.

[ BUZZING ]

IT CAUSED THE CAR TO VIBRATE

AND FOR A TINGLING SENSATION
TO PASS THROUGH THEIR BODIES.

[ BUZZING INTENSIFIES ]

Narrator:
AT SOME POINT ON THE ROAD,

THE WORLD, FOR BETTY AND BARNEY,

BEGAN TO DRIFT AS IF
THEY'D FALLEN INTO A TRANCE.

NOW THE ALIENS WERE IN CONTROL.

SUDDENLY, HE SAW THESE FIGURES
STANDING IN THE ROAD.

Narrator: BETTY AND BARNEY

WERE FACE-TO-FACE
WITH EXTRATERRESTRIALS.

BETTY AND BARNEY DESCRIBED THEM
AS HAVING LARGE EYES.

THEY APPEARED NOT TO HAVE
THE KIND OF NOSES THAT WE HAVE.

THE BEINGS THAT THEY ENCOUNTERED
ARE VERY SIMILAR

TO WHAT, TODAY,
WE CALL THE GREYS.

BUT BACK THEN,
THAT TERM WAS NOT USED.

NOW WE CONSIDER THOSE GUYS
YOUR TYPICAL ALIEN.

BUT IN THE DAYS OF BETTY HILL,
ALL THIS WAS NEW.

[ CRACKLING, FIZZLING ]

Marden: THESE BEINGS,
THEY DID HAVE THE ABILITY

TO SEEMINGLY PARALYZE
BETTY AND BARNEY

AND TO RENDER THEM
ACTUALLY UNCONSCIOUS.

BARNEY FELT
AS IF HE WAS FLOATING.

HIS ARMS WERE OUTSTRETCHED.

EVERYTHING WAS FLOATING
EXCEPT THE TOES OF HIS SHOES.

Narrator: THE SHOES -- THE ONES
HE WOULD LATER FIND SCUFFED.

HE THEN FELT THEM
BUMP UP A SMOOTH RAMP.

WHEN BETTY AND BARNEY WERE TAKEN
INTO THE CRAFT,

THEY WERE SEPARATED.

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

Narrator: THE FIRST ALIEN
EXAMINATION ON EARTHLINGS

WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN.

[ WHIR ]

Marden:
BETTY WAS PLACED IN A CHAIR.

HANDS WERE EXAMINED.
HER FEET WERE EXAMINED.

JOINTS WERE EXAMINED.

THESE E.T.s SEEMED TO BE
VERY INTERESTED

IN BETTY'S AND BARNEY'S SKELETAL
SYSTEMS AND HOW THEY MOVED.

[ WHIMPERING ]

AND THEN
THIS EXAMINER PRODUCED...

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?!

Marden:
...A VERY LONG NEEDLE.

NO, DON'T DO IT. NO!

Marden: AND HE SAID,
"IT'S ONLY A SIMPLE TEST.

"YOU HAVE NO REASON
TO BE FEARFUL.

THIS WON'T HURT."

Betty: WHAT -- WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA DO WITH IT?

Friedman: AND SHE'S
VERY FRIGHTENED AT THIS.

[ WHIMPERING ]

AND WHEN IT'S CLEAR

THAT THEY'RE GONNA COME AT HER
WITH THIS NEEDLE...

DON'T DO IT!
DON'T DO IT!

...IT SCARES THE HECK
OUT OF BETTY.

DON'T! DON'T DO IT!
NO, DON'T!

[ SCREAMS ]

Narrator: IN THE EARLY 1960s,
BETTY AND BARNEY HILL CLAIMED

THEY WERE TAKEN
BY EXTRATERRESTRIALS --

THE FIRST PUBLICIZED CASE
OF ALIEN ABDUCTION.

[ Crying ]
AND IT HURTS!

THROUGH HYPNOSIS,

THE HILLS REVEALED DETAILS
OF THEIR ENCOUNTER.

[ WHIMPERING ]

Narrator:
SEPARATED FROM HER HUSBAND

ABOARD AN ALIEN SPACESHIP,

BETTY ENDURED A FRIGHTENING
MEDICAL PROCEDURE.

NO, NO, DON'T!
IT'LL -- IT'LL HURT!

[ SCREAMS ]

Marden: AND THEN, HE PLUNGED IT
INTO HER NAVEL,

CAUSING EXCRUCIATING PAIN.

IT WAS SO PAINFUL, AND SHE WAS
SO TRAUMATIZED AT THIS POINT

THAT THE LEADER THEN PASSED
HIS HAND OVER BETTY'S EYES,

AND ALL OF THE PAIN DISAPPEARED.

SHE WAS SHOCKED, HORRIFIED.

THE LEADER WAVED HIS HAND,
AND THE PAIN STOPPED.

Narrator: BARNEY'S TREATMENT
WAS NO LESS MORTIFYING,

NO LESS TERRIFYING.

HIS SKELETAL SYSTEM
WAS EXAMINED.

[ CRACKLING ]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

Marden:
AT ONE POINT, THEY DECIDED TO DO

WHAT APPARENTLY
WAS AN EXTRACTION OF SEMEN,

AND A CUP WAS PLACED
OVER HIS GROIN.

[ WARBLING ]

[ WIND WHISTLING ]

Narrator:
SOME TIME LATER,

THE HILLS FOUND THEMSELVES
BACK IN THEIR CAR.

Marden:
WHEN BARNEY WAS TAKEN DOWN,

HE ACTUALLY SAT ON HIS PISTOL.

HE WAS LUCKY
THAT IT DIDN'T GO OFF.

[ ANIMAL WHINES ]

THE WHOLE TIME THAT THIS WAS
HAPPENING, THEIR DOG, DELSEY,

HAD PUSHED HERSELF
AS FAR UNDER THE FRONT SEAT

AS SHE POSSIBLY COULD.

WHEN BARNEY RETURNED TO THE CAR,

HE REACHED DOWN,
AND SHE WAS TREMBLING.

Narrator: THE COUPLE KNEW

THEY'D COME UNDER
THE CONTROL OF SOMETHING

CAPABLE OF RUNNING ROUGHSHOD
OVER SPACE AND TIME.

[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]

Marden:
BETTY AND BARNEY REALIZED

THAT THEY WERE 35 MILES AHEAD
OF WHERE THEY HAD BEEN

AT THIS FIELD WHERE THEIR STOP
HAD BEEN MADE.

THEY REALIZED THAT
THEY WERE DOWN NEAR ASHLAND

AND ONLY WHAT SEEMED
LIKE A MOMENT BEFORE

THEY WERE UP IN LINCOLN,
NEW HAMPSHIRE.

THEY SHOULD HAVE ARRIVED

AT ABOUT 3:00 IN THE MORNING
OR EARLIER.

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DARK.

DAWN WAS STREAKING THE SKY.
THE BIRDS WERE CHIRPING.

Friedman:
THEY GOT HOME TWO HOURS LATER

THAN THEY SHOULD HAVE
GOTTEN HOME.

AND THEY REALIZED
THEIR WATCHES HAD STOPPED.

THIS IS PECULIAR.

BETTY'S DRESS IS TORN.

BARNEY'S SHOES WERE SCUFFED.

HE WAS A METICULOUS DRESSER.
Betty: BARNEY.

WHY WOULD HIS SHOES BE SCUFFED?

Narrator:
FOR BETTY AND BARNEY,
THE MYSTERY AND FEAR

WITH WHICH THEY WERE LEFT
REMAINED UNRESOLVED.

THEY BADLY NEEDED ANSWERS
FROM DEEP INSIDE THEIR MINDS.

Friedman:
THERE'S NO QUESTION

THAT THESE SESSIONS WERE INDEED
HELPFUL TO THE HILLS.

THEY GOT RID OF THE ULCERS,
ALSO DECREASED THE ANXIETY LEVEL

THAT HAD BEEN AROUND
BECAUSE OF THOSE EXPERIENCES.

Marden:
HYPNOSIS GAVE CLOSURE TO THEM

AND HELPED THEM A GREAT DEAL

IN OVERCOMING THEIR FEAR
OF WHAT HAD OCCURRED.

Narrator:
FOR FOUR YEARS,

THE HILLS MADE NO MENTION
OF THE EVENT PUBLICLY.

THEY HAD NO INTEREST
IN PUBLICITY,

SO THEY WERE SHOCKED TO SUDDENLY
FIND THEMSELVES FRONT-PAGE NEWS.

Friedman: OUT OF THE BLUE,
BETTY GETS A CALL

FROM THE REPORTER
FOR A BOSTON PAPER.

"WE WANT TO DO AN INTERVIEW WITH
YOU ABOUT YOUR UFO EXPERIENCE."

SHE WAS SHOCKED, HORRIFIED.

Marden: ONCE ALL
OF THE PUBLICITY HIT THE MEDIA,

BETTY AND BARNEY FINALLY DECIDED
THAT THEY SHOULD STEP FORWARD.

THEY WERE QUITE BRAVE
IN DOING THIS.

THEY WERE BOTH COMMITTED
TO THE TRUTH.

THEY WERE COMMITTED TO DOING
WHAT THEY KNEW WAS RIGHT.

I WENT ON TV AND HAD
LIE-DETECTOR TESTING

IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE COUNTRY.

AND I HAD
VERY, VERY HIGH RATINGS

FOR HONESTY AND TRUTHFULNESS.

Narrator: BETTY AND BARNEY HILL
LIVED THE REST OF THEIR LIVES

TRYING TO UNCOVER THE TRUTH
BEHIND THEIR ALIEN ABDUCTION,

THE FIRST OF ITS KIND.

ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO.

OVER THE LAST 50 YEARS,

THIS SOUTHWESTERN CITY HAS TAKEN
ON AN UNUSUAL DISTINCTION.

Man: THE ARMY AIR FORCES
HAS ANNOUNCED

THAT A FLYING DISC
HAS BEEN FOUND

AND IS NOW IN THE POSSESSION
OF THE ARMY.

Narrator: PROPELLED
BY FAMOUS UFO INCIDENTS

AT NEARBY ROSWELL ARMY BASE

AND AT NEIGHBORING
KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE,

THIS PART OF NEW MEXICO
IS NOW CONSIDERED

AN EPICENTER
FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL ACTIVITY.

MANY HAVE WONDERED
IF THESE STORIES COULD BE REAL.

ONE WOMAN HAS WANTED ANSWERS

EVER SINCE THE ALIENS
TOOK HER HUSBAND,

THE HUSBAND WHO PASSED AWAY
SO MYSTERIOUSLY.

Hacker: TO SEE MY HUSBAND
WALKING TOWARDS ME --

AND I SAID, "NO. IT'S NOT YOU.
YOU DIED."

NO! NO!

[ Voice breaking ] THEN,
I LOOK AROUND AT THE GREYS,

AND I TELL THEM,
"WHAT KIND OF AN EXPERIMENT

ARE YOU DOING TO ME?"

NO! NO.

NO! NO!

Narrator:
ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO.

IN 1988,
GLORIA HAWKER WAS A MARRIED,

CHURCHGOING MOTHER OF FOUR
AND MEDICAL SECRETARY.

[ CHUCKLES ]

Narrator: SHE NEVER GAVE MUCH
THOUGHT TO UFOs

OR ALIEN ENCOUNTERS.

BEFORE MY AWAKENING IN 1988,
MY BELIEF WAS NONBELIEF.

I DID NOT BELIEVE IN UFOs.

Narrator:
ONE NIGHT, IN SEPTEMBER OF 1988,

GLORIA SAW SOMETHING IN THE SKY

THAT TURNED HER WORLD
UPSIDE DOWN,

LAUNCHING A NIGHTMARE
THAT HAUNTS HER TO THIS DAY.

IT WAS A SUNDAY.
THE DAY WAS PRETTY NORMAL.

ABOUT 9:30 THAT EVENING,

I SENT THE KIDS UPSTAIRS
TO GO AND GET READY FOR BED.

Narrator: GLORIA'S HUSBAND,
FRED, WORKED NIGHTS,

SO HE WASN'T HOME.

THE BALCONY DOOR, I HAD LEFT
OPEN 'CAUSE IT WAS WARM.

AND SOMETHING CAUGHT MY EYE.

THERE WAS A LIGHT
COMING FROM SOMEPLACE.

AND I SAID,
"WELL, WHAT IS THAT?"

OH, WOW.

HEY, GUYS, COME HERE.

SO, I CALLED THE CHILDREN
OUTSIDE TO THE BALCONY

BECAUSE
THERE'S A HOT-AIR BALLOON,

AND I THINK
HE'S GONNA BE LANDING.

THERE'S A HOT-AIR BALLOON.

GRAB THOSE BINOCULARS
OUT OF THE DRAWER THERE.

Narrator:
BUT THE GLOWING OBJECT

WASN'T LIKE ANYTHING
THEY'D EVER SEEN.

Gloria: THE BIG, LARGE,
WHITE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF,

AND, IN A CIRCULAR PATTERN,
SMALLER LIGHTS CAME ON.

Girl: LET ME SEE, MOM.
OKAY.

WHY'S IT DOING THAT?

WE STOOD THERE THINKING SOMEONE
IS PLAYING GAMES WITH US.

Narrator:
GLORIA PUT HER KIDS TO SLEEP.

BUT THE STRANGE LIGHT SOMEHOW
KEPT TUGGING IN HER MIND.

BY THE NEXT DAY,

GLORIA WAS READY TO PUT
THE WHOLE THING BEHIND HER.

SHE WAS AT A PARKING GARAGE
HEADING TO WORK.

Gloria: SO, I'M JUST WALKING
DOWN THE STAIRS.

IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL MORNING.

AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN,

AN EXPERIENCE
THAT I CANNOT EXPLAIN.

AAH!

[ THUDDING ]

THERE WAS A HARD PUSH
ON MY BACK.

JUST "WHOOSH!"

AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN,

I WOKE UP DOWN AT THE BOTTOM
OF THE STAIRS.

MY HEAD HURTING,
MY WHOLE BODY HURTING.

Narrator: GLORIA IS CERTAIN
SHE DIDN'T TRIP.

SO ARE THE WITNESSES.

TWO WITNESSES TOLD ME,
"IT WAS LIKE SOMEBODY HIT YOU

"AND MADE YOU FLY
THROUGH THE AIR.

YOU DID NOT TRIP.
YOU WERE FLYING."

Narrator: HER ATTACKER
WAS A COMPLETE MYSTERY,

YET GLORIA FELT IT WAS SOMEHOW
CONNECTED TO THE STRANGE LIGHTS

SHE'D SEEN THE PREVIOUS EVENING.

LATER THAT NIGHT, GLORIA WAS
AT HOME, BRUISED AND BANDAGED,

TRYING TO GET SOME REST.

IT WAS ABOUT 10:30 OR 11:00.

ALL OF A SUDDEN,
THE WALL TO OUR BEDROOM

BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE
WITH THESE COLORS.

AND THEY WERE JUST LIKE
IN UNISON, FLUCTUATING.

Narrator:
THAT'S WHEN THE ALIENS ARRIVED.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, THESE THINGS
CAME THROUGH THE WALL.

AND THEY'RE WALKING
CLOSER AND CLOSER.

THEY WERE 3½ FEET TALL.

THEY WERE GRAY.

HAD HUGE, GALLON-SHAPE,
GLASSY, BLACK EYES.

I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST
A HALLUCINATION

UNTIL I FELT THEIR TOUCH.

HE TOUCHED ME ON THE ARM FIRST,
AND THEN HE WENT UP,

AND THAT'S WHEN I SAW
ONLY THREE LONG FINGERS.

NO!

AND I'M SCREAMING AND
I'M SCREAMING AND I'M SCREAMING.

HELP ME!

WHEN I LOOKED INTO THE EYES
OF THIS UNGODLY CREATURE,

I REALLY FELT THIS WAS GONNA BE
THE END OF MY LIFE.

Narrator: THE ALIEN WAS
IMPLANTING SOME KIND OF DEVICE

INSIDE GLORIA'S HEAD.

[ GLORIA SCREAMING ]

THE FEAR, THE FEAR -- THERE ARE
JUST NO WORDS IN OUR VOCABULARY

TO TELL YOU WHAT I FELT.

THAT NIGHT,
I WAS IMPLANTED IN MY HEAD

AND THROUGH THE EYES.

Lorgen:
SINCE THE MID-TO-LATE 1990s,

ABDUCTEES WHO REPORTED
HAVING ALIEN IMPLANTS,

HAVING THEM X-RAYED

AND IDENTIFIED
AND SURGICALLY REMOVED?

SOME OF THE ONES
THAT DR. ROGER LEER DID

IN THE MID-TO-LATE '90s --
I WAS ACTUALLY THERE

WHILE THEY DID THE SURGERIES AND
INTERVIEWED FIVE OF THE PEOPLE.

THEY FOUND THAT ONE
OF THE IMPLANTS, FOR EXAMPLE,

WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS METALLIC
AND THEY THOUGHT WAS METEORIC.

Narrator: THROUGHOUT ALL THESE
MYSTIFYING EXPERIENCES,

GLORIA'S HUSBAND, FRED,
WAS HER MOST LOYAL SUPPORTER.

Gloria: EVERY NIGHT, HE WOULD
HOLD ME SO TIGHT IN BED,

PROTECTING ME SO THEY WOULDN'T
BE ABLE TO TAKE ME.

I WOULD TALK TO HIM AFTER
EVERY MEMORY, EVERY HAPPENING,

AND HE'D SIT THERE, LISTENING,
BEING SUPPORTIVE.

Narrator: HER WORST TRIAL
AT THE HANDS OF THE ALIENS

WAS YET TO COME.

ALMOST OVERNIGHT,

HER HUSBAND, FRED,
TURNED INTO A DIFFERENT MAN.

Gloria: SOMETHING
IS WRONG WITH YOU!

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO COMMUNICATE
WITH YOU FOR DAYS.

WHY WON'T YOU
TALK TO ME?

I'M EXACTLY THE WAY
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN.

YES, THERE IS SOMETHING
WRONG WITH YOU.

Gloria:
HIS PERSONALITY --

EVERYTHING JUST COMPLETELY
CHANGED FOR THE WORST.

VERBALLY, SOMETIMES HE WOULD TRY
TO SHAKE ME OR TRY TO HIT.

HIS WHOLE PERSONALITY CHANGED.

Narrator:
SHE HAD NO IDEA AT THE TIME.

HER HUSBAND
WAS ALSO AN ABDUCTEE.

AND THE ALIENS
HAD THEIR OWN PLANS FOR FRED.

THERE'S PEOPLE WHO HAVE REPORTED
SEEING THEIR CLONED BODIES

AND THEN BEING OFFERED
THE OPPORTUNITY

TO WORK FOR THE ALIEN.

IT REALLY CHANGED THEIR LIVES
DRAMATICALLY.

Narrator: IT CERTAINLY
CHANGED GLORIA'S LIFE.

OH, YOU'RE HOME!
THANK GOODNESS!

I WAS SO WORR--
[ GASPS ]

I GOT LOST.
I COULDN'T FIND MY WAY HOME.

Narrator:
AMONG UFO ABDUCTEES,

A GROWING NUMBER CLAIM
ALIENS ARE MAKING CLONES,

COPIES OF HUMANS,
CHILLING IN THEIR PRECISION.

FOR GLORIA HAWKER,

THIS NIGHTMARE ARRIVED
AT HER VERY OWN DOOR --

HER HUSBAND, FRED.

ONE PARTICULAR NIGHT,
HE LOST HIS WAY HOME.

HE COULDN'T FIND WHERE HE LIVED.

OH, YOU'RE HOME!
THANK GOODNESS.

I WAS SO WORR--
[ GASPS ]

9:30 COMES AROUND, HE COMES IN,

AND HE HAD THIS VERY FRIGHTENING
LOOK ON HIS FACE.

I GOT LOST.
I COULDN'T FIND MY WAY HOME.

Narrator:
GLORIA WAS BECOMING AFRAID

OF THE FRED SHE NO LONGER KNEW.

[ GASPS ]

[ CRIES ]

A FEW HOURS LATER,
FRED WAS DYING.

[ GASPING ]

Gloria: THAT NIGHT,
HE STARTED CONVULSING.

I DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO FOR HIM.

[ Dialing ]

I CALLED THE HEART HOSPITAL
HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE.

HE HAD HIS ARM
EXTENDED OUT TOWARDS ME.

AND I KNEW THAT HE WAS GONE.

SO, ALLS I COULD TELL HIM WAS,
"GO AND FOLLOW THE LIGHT."

Narrator: JUST DAYS

AFTER GLORIA FIRST SAW
THE CHANGE IN HER HUSBAND,

HE WAS GONE.

LIFE AS SHE KNEW IT
WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME.

YEARS LATER, DURING
ONE OF HER OWN ABDUCTIONS,

GLORIA WOULD FINALLY LEARN
THE TRUTH

ABOUT FRED'S SUDDEN DEPARTURE.

I WOKE UP ONBOARD SHIP,

AND I HEARD THE SWISHING
OF THE SILVER DOOR SLIDING OPEN.

AND WHO WALKS
THROUGH THE DOOR...

GLORIA, IT'S ME.

...IS MY HUSBAND, FRED.

AND I SAID, "NO.
IT'S NOT YOU. YOU DIED."

NO. YOU'RE DEAD.

I REMEMBER. YOU WERE THERE.
I WAS THERE.

YOU'RE DEAD.
YOU'RE JUST A HOLOGRAM.

THIS IS NOT YOU.

AND HE SAID,
"NO, GLORIA. LISTEN."

IT IS ME.
IT IS ME.

WHAT KIND OF SICK --

AND I'D LOOK AROUND AT THE GREYS
AND I'D TELL THEM,

"WHAT KIND OF A DIRTY TRICK
ARE YOU DOING TO ME?

WHAT KIND OF AN EXPERIMENT
ARE YOU DOING TO ME? WHY?"

AND FRED KEPT SAYING,
"NO, GLORIA, LISTEN.

IT IS ME. IT IS ME."

JUST RIGHT BEFORE HE DID PASS,

THAT THEY PUT A CLONE IN THE BED
AND TOOK HIM.

Narrator: LOSING HER HUSBAND
SO SUDDENLY AND SO MYSTERIOUSLY

IS THE TOUGHEST CHALLENGE
GLORIA HAS EVER FACED.

IS HE REALLY ALIVE ONBOARD SHIP?
WORKING WITH THEM?

I DON'T KNOW,
BUT I NEED AN ANSWER.

Narrator: NEAR THE SULTRY
GULF COAST OF MISSISSIPPI

SITS THE SLEEPY TOWN OF WIGGINS.

Richard: WIGGINS IS A NICE,
LITTLE, SMALL TOWN.

I MOVED HERE
JUST 'CAUSE IT'S FRIENDLY.

Mary: WIGGINS, MISSISSIPPI,

IS FILLED WITH
JUST REALLY GOOD PEOPLE.

AND IT'S REALLY FAMILY ORIENTED.

IT'S MORE SO IN THAT AREA

THAN ANY OTHER TOWN
I'VE EVER LIVED IN.

EVERYBODY KNOWS EVERYBODY.

Narrator: ELECTRONICS
TECHNICIAN RICHARD ROGERS

AND HIS WIFE, MARY,
LIVE IN WIGGINS,

RAISING THEIR TWO CHILDREN.

BY DAY, LIFE IS ORDINARY.

BUT NEARLY EVERY NIGHT,

RICHARD UNDERGOES SOMETHING
OUT OF THIS WORLD.

ONE HORRIFIC TEST OF SURVIVAL
AFTER ANOTHER, ALL SUPERVISED,

HE'S CERTAIN,
BY EXTRATERRESTRIALS.

RICHARD ROGERS CLAIMS ALIENS
ARE PREPARING HIM

AND OTHER HUMANS
AS SUPER SOLDIERS

FOR IMMINENT PLANETARY WAR.

Richard: I'VE SEEN THE COMPLETE
WORLD JUST DESTROYED.

YOU WILL FIGHT
AND YOU WILL KILL EVERYBODY

UNTIL NO ONE IS LEFT STANDING.

AAH!

WHEN THE EXPERIENCE HAPPENS,

IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE MOVIE
"THE MATRIX,"

WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE
THEIR TRAINING ENVIRONMENT

AND THEY WOULD HAVE
THESE WEAPONS,

EXCEPT OUR WEAPONS ARE ACTUALLY
OUR ABILITIES FOR TELEKINETICS

AND TELEPATHY, TELEPORTING.

YOU'RE PLACED
INTO A TESTING ENVIRONMENT

WHERE ALMOST ANYTHING'S
POSSIBLE.

EVERY TIME I THOUGHT
THAT WE HAD SEEN EVERYTHING,

THEY WOULD PUT SOMETHING ELSE ON
OUR PLATE AND TEST US IN THAT.

THINGS THAT YOU WOULD
NEVER DO --

THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING.

YOU'RE IN TEARS
WHEN YOU WAKE UP.

THIS KIND OF THING
HAS BEEN GOING ON

IN THE ABDUCTION LITERATURE
FOR YEARS.

THESE HORRIBLE THINGS
ARE GONNA HAPPEN

AND THEN YOU HAVE TO PREPARE

AND HOW YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
SAVE THE WORLD.

IT'S A TEST TO SEE
HOW PEOPLE REACT

UNDER THESE KINDS OF SITUATIONS.

Narrator: A NUMBER OF UFO
ABDUCTEES HAVE STEPPED FORWARD

WITH SIMILAR ACCOUNTS
OF ALIEN TESTING.

THE ALIENS PLAY MIND GAMES, SO
THEY WILL DO MENTAL EXPERIMENTS

WHERE I HAD TO WATCH

ALL THESE SCENES
OF DEVASTATION ON EARTH --

FLOODS AND VOLCANOS
AND NUCLEAR BOMBS GOING OFF.

AND IT WAS JUST A SERIES
OF DISASTROUS EVENTS.

WHAT THEY REALLY WANTED TO DO

WAS MONITOR
MY EMOTIONAL REACTION

TO WITNESSING
EARTH'S DESTRUCTION.

Narrator:
SOME OF THE TESTS ARE VIOLENT.

FOR THE ABDUCTEES,

EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM
IS FLESH-AND-BLOOD REAL.

Richard: I'VE WOKE UP WITH STRAP
MARKS ACROSS MY BICEPS.

I'VE HAD VARIOUS MARKS
ON MY BODY FROM TIME TO TIME.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, RIGHT HERE,
THERE'S A CUT THAT'S HEALED UP.

ONE MORNING, I JUST WOKE UP
AND IT WAS STILL HEALING.

IT LOOKED LIKE
I HAD BEEN TIED IN A CHAIR

AND PISTOL WHIPPED OR SOMETHING.

Narrator: FOR AS LONG
AS RICHARD ROGERS CAN REMEMBER,

HE'S BEEN A TEST SUBJECT
AT THE HANDS OF THE ALIENS.

LIKE AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL
FORM OF "THE HUNGER GAMES,"

ROGERS CLAIMS HE'S LAUNCHED
INTO BATTLE TO BE TRAINED

AS A SOLDIER FOR FUTURE
INTERGALACTIC COMBAT.

SOMETIMES I WOULD KNOW
THIS IS GONNA HAPPEN

BECAUSE I WOULD BECOME VERY
SLEEPY AT 5:00, 6:00 AT NIGHT.

YOU'LL BE INSIDE YOUR BED

AND YOU'LL TUCK YOUR BLANKET IN
AS TIGHT AS YOU CAN,

'CAUSE YOU WILL FEEL
THIS THING OUTSIDE,

AND IT IS PURE EVIL, AND ALL
OF A SUDDEN, YOU GO UNCONSCIOUS.

Narrator:
AND IN THE NEXT INSTANT,

ROGERS IS TRANSPORTED TO A
TERRIFYING VIRTUAL-REALITY TEST.

IT'S AS LUCID AS YOU CAN GET.

IF YOU CUT YOURSELF,
IT'S GONNA BLEED.

Narrator: IN ONE TEST, ROGERS
HAD TO FIGHT A MONSTROUS GIANT

INTENT ON EATING HIM
AND EVERYONE TRAPPED IN A ROOM.

Richard: IF THE CREATURE WOULD
HAVE GOT ONE HAND ON ME...

[ GROWLS ]

...THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IT.

BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE CRUSHED
ANYTHING IT HAD.

THERE WAS NO FIGHTING IT.

[ WOMAN CRIES ]

Richard:
I REMEMBER THERE WAS A LADY --

SHE DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO MOVE.

AND IT JUST GRABBED HER,
JUST DRUG HER OFF BY THE LEG

AND JUST STARTED
JUST DEVOURING HER.

[ ALL SCREAMING ]

Narrator: RICHARD KNEW IT WAS
UP TO HIM TO KILL THIS CREATURE.

Richard:
I WAS SCARED TO ACT.

BUT THEN THIS CREATURE DRUG HER
OFF AND JUST ATE HER.

[ WOMAN CRYING ]

THAT EMBOLDENED ME ENOUGH
TO FINALLY STEP FORWARD.

Narrator:
IN THESE SIMULATED FIGHTS,

WEAPONS APPEAR OUT OF THIN AIR.

AAH!

I HACKED AS HARD AS I COULD.
[ GROWLS ]

AND THIS THING
DIDN'T EVEN HARDLY FLINCH.

AND I WAS LIKE, "HOLY SMOKES,
WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO?"

[ GRUNTING ]

IT WAS INCREDIBLY SLOW,
BUT STRONG.

IF IT EVER GOT HOLD OF YOU,
THAT WAS GONNA BE THE END OF IT.

I STARTED SLASHING
INTO ITS STOMACH,

AND IT WAS -- IT DIDN'T CARE.
IT JUST KEPT COMING.

[ PANTING ]

I GOT BEHIND IT

AND I JUST CUT AS DEEP AS I
COULD IN THE BACKS OF THE LEGS,

AND THAT'S JUST
WHEN THE SCENARIO ENDED.

Narrator: IN A FLASH,
RICHARD'S OUT OF THE SCENARIO,

BUT, LIKE A VIDEO GAME,
SURVIVING ONE ENCOUNTER

MEANS HE MUST CONTINUE
AT A DEADLIER LEVEL.

IN THIS ONE, ALIENS
IN THE FORM OF HUMANS APPEAR,

AND, ONCE AGAIN,
RICHARD IS PUT TO THE TEST.

IT RESTARTED AGAIN,
AND THE CREATURE WAS IN A CHAIR,

AND IT WAS A MAN AND A WOMAN --
WAS WOUNDED.

IT COULDN'T EVEN STAND UP
ANY LONGER.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHICH MADE ME HAPPY.

BUT THIS MAN AND WOMAN WERE
TRYING TO HEAL THIS CREATURE.

WHY ARE YOU
TRYING TO HELP HIM?

AND I WAS MAD ABOUT THAT.

Narrator: ONCE AGAIN,

THE ALIENS WANTED TO SEE
WHAT RICHARD WOULD DO.

Richard:
I WAS FURIOUS ABOUT THIS,

'CAUSE THIS THING
WAS EATING WOMEN ALIVE.

YOU HAVE TO KILL IT.

[ GROWLS ]

[ GUNSHOT ]
[ GASPS ]

Narrator: BACK FROM ANOTHER TEST
INSIDE THE ALIEN MATRIX.

Richard:
THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING,

WHERE YOU'RE IN TEARS
WHEN YOU WAKE UP.

DON'T EVEN ASK ME WHAT IT'S FOR.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THEY PUT US
THROUGH THIS THING.

THE ALIENS ARE VERY INTERESTED
IN MAN'S EMOTIONAL MAKEUP.

THEY SEEM TO BE DEVOID OF IT
COMPLETELY.

Narrator: DOZENS OF WEBSITES
ON THE INTERNET ARE DEVOTED

TO UFO MILITARY ABDUCTIONS.

THE MILABS PHENOMENON --
ALIEN KIDNAPPINGS

THAT TURNED INTO MILITARY
TESTING AND TRAINING.

Lorgen: I BELIEVE,
BASED ON WHAT I'VE OBSERVED

WITH THE PEOPLE
THAT I WORK WITH,

YOU KNOW,
THIS IS A FUTURE SCENARIO,

AND THERE'S GONNA BE MASS CHAOS.

IT'S GONNA BE WAR.

THEY'RE BEING TESTED AND TRAINED
FOR THEIR ABILITY

TO REACT IN CERTAIN
TRAUMATIC SITUATIONS

LIKE A POST-APOCALYPTIC
WAR SCENARIOS.

SO, IT'S LIKE TESTING
THEIR ABILITIES

TO PULL OUT THE STRONGEST PART
OF WHAT'S INSIDE OF THEM,

THEIR INNATE ABILITIES.

Narrator:
RICHARD SAYS HE HATES

EVERY ONE OF THESE SCENARIOS
HE'S PLACED IN,

BUT HE FEELS HE HAS NO CHOICE
BUT TO COMPLY.

Richard: WHAT DO YOU DO
IF THERE IS REALLY SOMETHING

COMING TO HUMANITY

AND YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PART
OF THE FORCE

THAT'S SUPPOSED TO STOP
WHATEVER IT IS COMING?

IT COULD BE A POSSIBILITY.

Narrator:
TERRIFYING ALIEN ENCOUNTERS,

IMPLANTS TO CONTROL YOU,
CLONES TO REPLACE US --

IS SOMETHING HAPPENING AT THE
HANDS OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL BEINGS

WE CAN HARDLY BEGIN
TO UNDERSTAND?

THERE IS SOMETHING OUT THERE.
THERE IS.

Richard: WE HAD BETTER BE
WORRIED ABOUT IT

BECAUSE THIS IS BEYOND
ANYTHING THAT WE'RE --

THAT YOU CAN EVEN PREPARE
YOURSELF FOR.
