Episode 7 - Alien Abduction
Psychology After Dark - A podcast by Dr. Jessica Micono and Dr. David Morelos
On the night of September 19, 1961, while driving home from a brief holiday, Betty and Barney Hill claimed to be abducted by beings from another planet. As pieces of their story emerged, what became even more clear is our collective fascination with the idea that we are not alone in our vast universe. Millions of people believe in the existence of extraterrestrial beings, with fewer claiming to have witnessed UFOs, and fewer still claiming to have been abducted. What is the psychological nature, and the potential implications, of these experiences? This week, Drs. Micono and Morelos use the case of Barney and Betty Hill to take a look at the topic of alien abduction.
