Book Review
Interpretations of an Alien Star Map
By William McBride 131 pages, 5x8 paper.

If you have an interest in Astronomy and the UFO subject, then this book is for you.One of the rare intersections of of these two subjects is the Betty and Barney Hill abduction UFO incident in September, 1961 and the "Star Map" Betty Hill brought back with her.
The first three chapters of the book introduces the reader to the Betty and Barney Hill abduction incident and some basic astronomical information information the reader should know in order to make some sense of the rest of the book. The chapter on the incident itself, is a concise summary of the incident, followed by a summary of "eyball" astronomy. Concluding the first phase of this book are two brief chapters describing Betty's alleged expeience on the UFO, her observation of the star map inside the ufo and her interpretation of the map using the Pegasus constellation with a rebuttal by Mr. McBride.
The next five chapters consist of the interpretations of Marjorie Fish, James Randi the magician, Charles Atterberg, Joachin Koch and Hans-Juergen Kyborg.
Mr. McBride,presents the interpretation and follows up with an analysis of this interpretation by Mr. McBride. In my opinion, Joachim
Koch and Hans-Juergen Kyborg's interpretation is the weakest . This interpretation relies on planets of our solar system instead of distant stars.
Mr. McBride concludes his book with a defense of his favored interpretation which focuses on Sirus and Procyon. The flaw I find is that Sirus is a very young star
reducing time for a high tech, space traveling society to develop along with the additional problem that Sirus is a multiple star system, seriously hindering the development
of planets.
My favored interpretation is Marjorie Fish's intrepretation which focuses on the Zeti-Reticuli system which have stars much older than our own sun and the
the two primary stars are .8 of a light year apart; far enough apart to enable planets to develop but close enough to inspire development of space travel by an advanced race.
One question I have for Mr. McBride is the source of his claim that the habitable zone of a star is the square root of the relative brightness of a star (in relation to our Sun)
in our solar system astronomical units?

4.0 out of 5 stars Detailed analysis, August 8, 2006

This is a very technical read, but it's necessary in order to convey the amount of detailed analysis that was performed. Each of the current theories surrounding the original drawing submitted by Betty Hill following her alleged abduction is laboriously analyzed and then presented with both supporting and refuting evidence. At the conclusion, an original theory is presented, that seems to be, in my opinion, the most acceptable interpretation of Betty's original drawing.
