"True believers will see this as further evidence of the reality of UFOs" —The New York Times

On a summer night in 1961, Betty and Barney Hill were driving home through New Hampshire when a bright object appeared in the sky and began following them. When the couple finally pulled over to get a better look, the object vanished before their eyes. With nothing else to do, Betty and Barney returned to their car and kept driving into the night. The encounter left them rattled, but what came next was even more arresting: the following day, the Hills realized they couldn’t remember anything from almost two hours of their drive. Time itself had disappeared, so the couple began looking for help, hoping to uncover what happened that mysterious night.

Captivating and unputdownable, The Interrupted Journey is the complete story of those missing hours and the Hills’ nearly identical accounts, as revealed to doctors under psychotherapy and hypnosis. It stands as one of the most extraordinary UFO tales of our time. Thrilling, otherworldly, and wildly entertaining, The Interrupted Journey is an adventure that enraptured America and stands as the quintessential extraterrestrial encounter.

Critic reviews

"True believers will see this as further evidence of the reality of UFOs." —The New York Times

Interesting

Well told and very authentic! So impressed by the thorough examination of different possibilities and explanations.

One of the most compelling abduction cases!

Great performance. Amazing detail. Compelling accounts. Great production, narration and memory recounting. I highly recommend.

Good detail, well-performed

Narrator is very skilled at moving back and forth between the main people of the book, doing the voice with an accent of Betty Hill, doing the Barney Hill voice, and of the hypno-therapist who helped them unlock the memories of what happened. They don’t editorialize much, and leave it to the listener to decide if it really happened or if they had some hallucination brought on by sleep deprivation.

Simply shocking!!

Have found this case one of the very best it’s details and evidence and innocent couple so vulnerable and never changing their story makes this the most credible experience!!

Detailed and interesting, but somewhat repetitive.

This is quite a groundbreaking account from the 60's of a UFO encounter. It is interesting and very detailed, but suffers from repetition in a few chapters. The book would improve with some clean up edits, but I still enjoyed it overall. Reader performance is good.
