I guess she was permanently "abducted" this time...

What a sad day for UFOlogists everywhere. Happy trails, Betty, and thanks for sparking a trend that will, IMHO, lead to a better and more adventurous future one day!

As the late D.Adams once said:

Goodbye and thanks for all the fish!

Thank you for informing us of this unpleasent news. Where ever she is, lets hope she found what she was looking for.

I hadn't heard about this - thanks for posting it.

The story of the Hills was one of the first abduction stories I heard in my youth. It was terrifying and fascinating all at the same time.

Godspeed to Mrs. Hill and may she finally have the answers to all her questions.

Didn't know about this.

She will be missed by the UFO committee . It was her that made everyone come out of their shells to tell their story. Since she was the first one to do it, everyone else after her did not have to worry about being labeled insane or anything of that matter. If it wasn't for her, this subject might not be as interesting as it is today. May she rest in peace.

Oddly enough I had a thought about Betty Hill dying this very morning before I read about this news. No real reason to even be thinking of her as I hadn't even read anything about her for months. Coincidence, collective unconscious event, or something else, thats unique for me.

One of the few abduction cases I have no trouble believing...she certainly made her case... Good luck Betty...

Betty & John Mack are probably having one heck of a discussion.

So many witnesses and experts die, never having all their questions answered...

And there goes another...Gordon Cooper, Pioneering Mercury Program Astronaut, Dead at 77

See NASA astronauts for more info on him

R. I. P Betty Hill.

One of the only abduction cases I ever really read into, for obvious reasons.

She was one of the first cases that I actually read and really sparked my interest for UFO's. She was a great woman who lived a great legacy. She will always be remembered.

R.I.P. Betty

She knows ALL the answers now.
