History of Alien Abduction Day
Aliens are said to be living things that exist outside the planet earth. It is believed that aliens transport themselves through unidentified flying objects (U.F.O.s). The first time a U.F.O. was sighted was on March 1, 1639, when John Winthrop recorded in his diary that another man James Everell was in a boat with two other people in a river when they saw a great light in the night sky. When the light stood still it flamed up and when it ran it changed into the figure of a swine. The men in the boat also claimed that the light ran very fast and was going back and forth between their village and another nearby village just two miles away. Some other people said they saw the light too around the same area. After a while of sighting the U.F.O., the people in the boat saw themselves in a part of the river that they couldn’t remember rowing their boat to. It was very strange and if it were in today’s world, it would have been recorded as the first alien abduction.
Even though there had been speculations about aliens over the years, it wasn’t until the 1960s that it started getting a lot of attention. The first widely publicized story of alien abduction was the “Hill Abduction,” which was the abduction of Barney and Betty Hill. They claimed aliens abducted them from September 19 to 20 in the rural part of New Hampshire. Their story was so profound that it was adapted into a book called “The Interrupted Journey” and it became a best seller in 1966.
