Betty Hill's Star Chart:
[edit | edit source]Betty Hill dedicated her life's work and personal belongings to science in order to better develop and understand our world and beyond. In 1961, Betty and Barney Hill stated they had an extraterrestrial encounter. When Betty and Barney were abducted, they had lost two hours of their memories after they had woken up in their car. Three years after the Hill's were abducted, they still had gaps in their memories so they decided it was time to go under hypnosis to see the truth about their experience. When under hypnosis, Betty drew the star chart that she claimed to have seen in the UFO. She said that the star chart was the trade routes that the aliens travel through, with the two large circles being their "home base."
Marjorie Fish’s Research:
[edit | edit source]In 1966, an elementary school teacher named Marjorie Fish took on the challenge of finding the pattern in the stars. Fish was self-taught in astronomy; however, she was a member of a High-IQ Society. She was extremely gifted in academics and earned a bachelor's degree in sociology with a minor in science (Webb 2). After months of research and modeling, Fish found a correlation between her star model and Betty’s drawing. The accuracy of Betty’s drawing compared to her pattern is astonishing. With only a few slight differences in the angles and distances between the stars, the projection that Fish found matches perfectly. Once Fish found the correct pattern, she started researching the individual stars that made up the star chart. In her research, she found that all twelve stars that were connected with lines had the characteristics of being inhabitable, which led to years of research about the stars. Currently, scientists still are questioning this case and are still wondering what the future holds.
