Captured! II

This blog noted the release of the book Captured! last August. Written by noted UFO researcher Stanton Friedman and Kathleen Marsden, the book details the alien abduction story of Barney and Betty Hill. Marsden is also a UFO investigator, but she is a niece of the Hills, as well.

Having read the book now, I am impressed by the detailed, consistent narrative it presents. There seems to be much more meat to the story than the mainstream media has presented. Like all UFO stories, however, it has weaknesses. The most bizarre weakness to me may be Betty's supposed ability to contact the aliens simply by going out in the backyard and calling to them.

All in all, Captured! is a good read.
