Cold Cases: Case 3: The White Mountain UFO
4/21/202628 min
Danny Robins has a close encounter with the original alien abduction case.
On a quiet night in 1961, Barney and Betty Hill are driving home through New Hampshire when they see something in the sky that will change their lives forever. What they recount is a series of experiences so strange that even sceptics struggle to explain them - from missing time to vivid, seemingly impossible memories of an encounter with beings who may not be human.
Dr Ciaran O’Keefe and Evelyn Hollow are on hand as ever to help make sense of what might really have happened. It’s the OG alien abduction story - but what do the team make of it, 60 years later?

[wind blows] Hello. It is a wild, windswept night, and this is the third episode of our brand-new series, Uncanny Cold Cases. This time, we are going back to America in 1961. I want you to picture the scene. It is late summer, and a couple called Betty and Barney Hill pull up outside their house at the end of a long road trip. They have no idea how they got home because three hours of their lives have completely seemingly disappeared. The last thing they remember is seeing something impossible and frightening in the sky, and then after that, nothing. Something happened that night that changed Betty and Barney's lives forever. This is a UFO case like no other. But can we explain it? Let's do this because I'm Danny Robins, and this is Uncanny Cold Cases.
