Watch the Skies; Check Your Watch., July 12, 2004
This review is from: The Interrupted Journey: Two Lost Hours "Aboard a Flying Saucer (Collector's Library of the Unknown) (Hardcover)
Reading this book was like watching A Hard Day's Night and recognizing the launching of an era. I have read all of Budd Hopkins' books, which are quite enjoyable and/or upsetting. Now I have discovered the granddaddy of all alien abductee regressive hypnosis transcibed sessions books.
Fuller gives the reader the necessary background information, then offers the original (edited for relevancy) transcripts from the psychiatriist's files. What a great thing it is that these sessions were tape recorded. The Hills weren't the first to be taken, but they were the first to go public, although unwillingly.
It is amusing in hindsight to read the doctor's repeated attempts to get Barney to admit that the entire encounter was a dream - if not his dream, then surely Betty's, which he somehow absorbed. Barney wants so much to believe that it was, but under hypnosis, he can only call it as he sees it.
The Interrupted Journey is a classic of UFO-related literature. It will remain fringe material so long as the UFO reality is under wraps, but when the buggers are finally outed, this book will go mainstream and become required reading.

Like a second bible., January 29, 2000
This review is from: The Interrupted Journey: Two Lost Hours "Aboard a Flying Saucer (Collector's Library of the Unknown) (Hardcover)
The very first written testimony about an encouter between human beings and alien civilisation can be found in the bible (the anciant testament is very rich in details if read and interpreted in a logical way and not in the "spriritual-traditional" way). The second written testimony, and the last one so far, is the "interrupted journey". The "interrupted journey" is according to me much more than a book. It's a real testimony which goes beyond the common question "do you believe in UFO", because a UFO is "just" an unidentified object and it doesn't say much. In the Betty and Barney Hill's case, it goes far beyond the "simple" unidentified flying object. There is a real encouter and a conversation between a human being and a civilisation which is obviously NOT from our world, which is obviously NOT from our planet. And it means A LOT. During her conversation with the alien crew "boss",she was told while she was staring at the map, that some planets (or stars) where regularly,frequently or occasionaly visited by them. It also seems that commercial exchanges between alien civilisations themselves are quite common. How about us, habitants of the planet earth, what do we represent for those civilisations? I haven't heard so far that we're making trade with extra-terrestrials. But it doesn't mean that they have no interest in our planet. We could even easily suppose that alien civilisations have visited us thousands of times and not only during this century but for many,many centuries.........and probably more. In conclusion, if we admitt that our planet have been visited for ages by aliens like the ones of "the interrupted journey", then we may ask ourselves "In which ways the alien intervention in the history of the Manhood has influenced our believes and in which way the alien intervention will influence the future of the Mankind".

Recomended for any die hard "Betty & Barney Hill" fan., January 10, 2009
I am proud and honored to own an original copy of this hard cover book that was released or printed in 1966... the first official book about the infamous "Betty & Barney Hill" case! When reading it literally puts me into the time frame of life and wonder from back in the mid '60's and the feeling of what it was like for the public back then to hear about such a bizzare and unbelievable thing to happen to a common responsible American couple. I was a little dissappointed to find out that this book doesn't contain the complete transcript from the tapes of Barney Hill's version of the abduction... mainly because of the time frame and censorship of the graphic details of the truth from what happened to him that was reveiled in a later book. GREAT book to have in my collection with a set of B/W original pictures in the center of the book.
