Friedman, Stanton and Kathleen Marden. Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience, 2007, pp. 103–04 Sheaffer later wrote that as late as 1977, Betty Hill would go on UFO vigils at least three times a week. One evening she was joined by UFO enthusiast John Oswald. When asked about Betty's continuing UFO observations, Oswald stated, "She is not really seeing UFOs, but she is calling them that." On the night they went out together, "Mrs. Hill was unable to distinguish between a landed UFO and a streetlight." In a later interview, Sheaffer recounts that Betty Hill wrote, "UFOs are a new science... and our science cannot explain them." [41] Raya Morris Edwards is the author of Captured Light, Captured Darkness, and Captured Solace. She loves writing spicy romances that feature sexy heroes and heroines, a captivating story, and a happy ending.90[# Her tasks were never as severe as her male counterparts and as a female captive she occupied a unique and sometimes antithetical position, relying on her chaste innocence at times whilst in other situations, asserting her entitlements as a female. It's a grueling story, with explicit torture scenes. Several times Denton is broken and signs confessions or whatever else his captors put in front of him, but each time he regathers his strength to resist again. The men around him all strive to communicate, relying on military leadership for direction.

Captured: An American Prisoner of War in North Vietnam

Betty, looking through binoculars, observed an "odd-shaped" craft flashing multicolored lights travel across the face of the Moon. [9] Because her sister had several years earlier said she had seen a flying saucer, Betty thought it might be what she was observing. Through binoculars, Barney observed what he reasoned was a commercial airliner traveling toward Vermont on its way to Montreal. However, he soon changed his mind, because without looking as if it had turned, the craft rapidly descended in his direction. This observation caused Barney to realize, "this object that was a plane was not a plane." [10] In 1968 Marjorie Fish of Oak Harbor, Ohio, read Fuller's book, Interrupted Journey. Fish was an elementary school teacher and amateur astronomer. Intrigued by the "star map," Fish wondered if it might be "deciphered" to determine which star system the UFO came from. Assuming that one of the fifteen stars on the map must represent Earth's Sun, Fish constructed a three-dimensional model of nearby Sun-like stars (i.e., stars deemed to have characteristics that could support life such as that found on Earth) using thread and beads, basing stellar distances on those published in the 1969 Gliese Star Catalogue. Studying thousands of vantage points over several years, the only one that seemed to match the Hill map was from the viewpoint of the double star system of Zeta Reticuli (about 39 light-years from Earth).

The film The UFO Incident is a dramatization of the Hills' abduction and its aftermath, in which the Hills are played by James Earl Jones and Estelle Parsons. Life is not always easy, this world is always not easy, loss and grief is not easy at all and the one thing all readers have shared with me about the book, is how hopeful they feel after reading it. Also to know children are reading it and people are bringing it on holidays and day trips with them as an essential, even though they have it finished, this really means the world to me. Granny Nancy was a woman who gave to all and in a very special way this book is doing exactly that.Georgie wrote: "Kelly wrote: "Georgie wrote: "does anyone know about this book ? the theme is kidnapped too but she is kadnapped when she is still kid she always had dream about her childhood life about angel who ..." In his 1990 article "Entirely Unpredisposed," Martin Kottmeyer suggested that Barney's memories revealed under hypnosis might have been influenced by an episode of the science fiction television show The Outer Limits titled " The Bellero Shield", which was broadcast about two weeks before Barney's first hypnotic session. The episode featured an extraterrestrial with large eyes who says, "In all the universes, in all the unities beyond the universes, all who have eyes have eyes that speak." The report from the regression featured a scenario that was in some respects similar to the television show. In part, Kottmeyer wrote: [43]

Almost as soon as he arrived, he was entrusted to a Persian merchant who had taken a shine to the young boy, who subsequently took him to Persia. First off I would like to start by saying that the detail and story line of the book is 100% outstanding. The author could make the reader feel like they were the characters inside the book with the descriptions of what the characters felt and what they thought, however every detail in a violent scene made you very grateful that you weren’t, which left you wondering what you would have done if you were the one in that situation. On one side I wish that Jerry Denton had had more of a factor of getting out of the Vietnamese prison but on the other side I liked that the book stayed realistic. A realistic aspect is his new thankfulness to his family and his god. In a letter to his wife he writes “When I return my life will be better lived for Him [his god] and for you” Later in the end of the book, the happy homecoming ending made reading the whole book worth it with the flood of joyful emotions that make you grateful for the friends and family surrounding you.Captured is a true story of survival and endurance and follows American Naval Officer Jeremiah Denton's story, who was shot down over Communist North Vietnam. He was also held in a prison camp and abused daily, the North Vietnamese did not follow the Geneva convention because the U.S. never formally declared war on North Vietnam.
