Librarian Emeritus Bill Ross shows off images of aliens from Betty and Barney Hill's collection at the University of New Hampshire Library.

Barney and Betty Hill claimed they had an encounter with aliens more than 60 years ago. Their story became the launching point for alien abductions in popular culture. And it happened — supposedly — late one night on a lonely road in New Hampshire’s White Mountains.
