Excellent UpdateSeptember 7, 2007 13 out of 14 found this review helpful
This book is a well organized, and highly personal, account of the Hill abduction back in 1961. I hope that other reviewers will not reveal all the details of this book, as there are some interesting topics that were never brought up in John Fuller's classic book. They make for fresh reading and debate. The only chapter that bothered me somewhat was Chap 22 (concerning the famous star map). I guess that Stanton Friedman was addressing this chapter to the astronomically undereducated, as he pointed out that many people do not know the difference between a "solar system" and a "galaxy." Hopefully, most of the people that read this book are much more advanced in their understanding of astronomy. But, it never hurts to teach! I do not feel that Marjorie Fish's map is valid anymore, because anyone can go to a website such as "SolStation.com" and view a 3D map with any nearby star at the center. If you do this with Zeta Reticuli, you do NOT get a close match with the Hill star map. I, personally, feel that the greys originated in the star system Beta Hydri, but began looking for new homes when their star began expanding and moving off the main sequence. We are just one of several star systems that they have explored, perhaps.

Went over everything in the Hill case piece by piece. New information not published in other books about the Hill experience. I can't see how anyone can read this and not feel that this really happened.
Incredible read...July 19, 2007 34 out of 38 found this review helpful
Having read other works by Stanton Friedman, I had an idea as to what to expect when I started reading this book. I was definitely not disappointed.
Before reading Captured! - the Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience: The True Story of the World's First Documented Alien Abduction, I was familiar with the basics of the Hill sighting/abduction case, general background information, the major sighting/abduction experience and the star map drawn by Betty. However, from the details about their personal lives, family, friends, education, professions, etc; to the recounting of their multiple sightings and abduction experiences, I was literally blown away by the amount of information presented.
This book clearly illustrates a well researched investigation into who the Hills were and what they experienced, never before have I seen such an in depth analysis of such a controversial abduction case. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the alien abduction phenomenon or UFOs in general. If anyone has doubts about what the Hill's witnessed to what was done to them aboard an extraterrestrial space craft, they should be easily forgotten after reading this book.
