The Triangle

Just one thing Mr. Sakulich,

You wrote "What the average UFO enthusiast will try to leave out of any discussion of this case is that, from the starting line, Betty Hill was 100% certain she'd been abducted by aliens. This isn't all that surprising, since she was a paranormal and cult enthusiast herself: When you spend most of your free time reading books on UFO abductions, there's a rather good chance you'll end up thinking you were abducted yourself."

One reason this is "left out" is because in 1961 THERE WERE NO BOOKS ON ALIEN ABDUCTIONS. It would have been impossible for Betty Hill to have read such a book.

Your Naiveté, lack of true research and lack of forward thinking really shines through in every one of your debunking attempts.

Aaron, your many INFORMED critics have spoken, and the final verdict is...

Hmmmm. Did they see a UFO? Barney looked through his binoculars and saw something that scared him. Was that baloney too?

Huh?

Just how many books on alien abduction were there in 1961?

Answer - none.

Therefore it would have been difficult if not impossible for
Betty to spend all her time reading books on UFO abductions.

Is this guy simply naive or just a plain idiot?

. . . A simple-minded, immature, poorly researched piece
such as Sakulich's is very easy to understand, easily readable. And why not? No detail, facts or anything to tax
the mind. It's well written if you are 4 or 5 year old
reader.

I imagine he has quite a following with the primary school
crowd.

I vote for the latter. I don't even know why we're paying
attention to this moron.

I think it's a lot of both. He uses the same old tired debunking tricks with absolutely no real research.

LOL!

Aaron, I hope your research for your major is much better than your research for this article. If I were your faculty advisor and saw this I would have a serious talk with you because you seem to have some problems when it comes to producing factual support for your thesis. I would certainly be hesitant to hire you for any job in industry if I saw an article so poorly researched as this one was.

How will you graduate if you can use the information you read??? Read Interrupted Journey again... C-

Mr. S might very well find a fullfilling job with the Bush administration. Remember Aaron, if you say it enough times than you can make it seem true...Seriously I think he wrote this piece as a joke. I took it as seriously as I do the ABC nightly news.

The article is technically written well, the content is poorly investigated as pointed out. The use of non-related pictures also demonstrates your need to quickly find a niche for the story as regards the Hills...ala "news" sources such as those seen at checkout stands across the USA. Perhaps you will have a better reception with the Amazing Randi and PSICOP factions?

For exellent investigative writing to happen you must have an open mind, hopefully as an engineer you will use facts and rely less on speculation, inuendo and slander. Oh, I actually knew the woman in question in case anyone wonders. Perhaps you could rewrite the story and attempt to show how the Feds and the 'social engineers' used the Hill's report and involvement with hypnosis as the first debunking trial?

Many previous cases of UFO/Alien/Non-Human beings .etc are well documented preceding the 1930's. The existance of non-humans constitute a threat to most humans as well as their (human) low level of technical ability, mental comprehension and social structures based (more or less on these principles) around the deep seated psychological drive to protect their 'status'....Back to the drawing board is my main comment, this attempt to grasp significant meaning and draw conclusions is short of the mark.

In addition to the seemingly haphazard scholarship contained in this article, I was very disappointed with the overall tone which screamed "High school reporter writes article at the last minute." An example of one of the grammatical gems contained herein;

The names: Betty and Barney Hill, an loving couple and residents....

Now I don't want to sound like AN jerk, but if you're writing for AN publication of this size you might want to take AN minute and read over your article before you publish it.

Why someone would pick on an old deceased couple that inspired a sense of possiblity and wonder about life in the universe is beyond me. Of course not focusing on real issues is the media's role in this society, so it's appropriate that a student in one of our nation's indoctrination centers writes a lazily researched, amateaur-toned peice of drivel such as this

Oh please. This type of hack writing by uninformed 'sceptics' is getting a bit tiresome. Every new generation produces wannabe debunkers who possess no more expertise in the matter other than that produced by a quick scan through a piece of literature they happen to stumble on.

Really, Aaron, we've moved on from the Hill's experience- do your homework. Save this simplistic crap for your fellow uninformed morons at one of your pissups.

If this 'writing' is an indication of what's being produced in our schools today, heaven help us.

When I experienced a vivid dream where I seemed to be on board what could be equated with an extraterrestrial craft, I didn't see the beings but do remember doors that swung open and closed. When I read about the Hills' case, I was surprised that Betty also described a similar type of door when she was on the alient craft. One may have expected something more technologically advanced. My own case study is available to be read at the noncommercial website http://testament.org

There's little logical deduction in this piece, although the author attempts to make it seem so. For example, he asks:

"What happened to the Hills? Hell if I know."

But then he goes on to categorically state:

"They were not, absolutely not, kidnapped by space aliens."

If you don't have any idea what happened, how do you arrive at complete certainty at what didn't? Illogical. The author doubtless finds comfort in taking the easy way out that ensures he isn't perceived as gullible. His credibility suffers, however, because such methodology, frequently employed by skeptics, is contrary to the scientific process of being open to ALL evidence, ALL possibilities. Columbus never would have sailed had he listened to the skeptics who were certain that the earth "was not, absoulutely not," round.

you dont know what the fuck your talking about
you should have your ass kicked

I'm a real alien and am sick of hearing how people talk like we don't exist what do I have to do come to your house and steel your dog while you and a hundred professors tape me carrying it off.....
