## Resource

We welcome back television and film writer, Andrew Sanford, for an in-depth discussion of the 1975 film, The UFO Incident, based on the real-life abduction case of Betty and Barney Hill. Regarded as one of the most compelling encounters on record, the case helped shape the modern narrative of alien abduction. The film stars James Earl Jones as Barney Hill and Estelle Parsons as Betty Hill, portraying an ordinary couple whose lives are forever changed after a mysterious UFO sighting in rural New Hampshire. Join us as we break down The UFO Incident, explore how accurately it depicts the Hill case, and examine its lasting impact on UFO history, alien abduction research, and pop culture.
