Betty Andreasson abduction claim

Betty Andreasson said that on 25 January 1967 small grey beings entered her kitchen in South Ashburnham, Massachusetts, and took her aboard a craft.

1967 CE · 42.63, -71.93 · status: claim

The account

Her full story emerged under hypnosis in the late 1970s and was published by investigator Raymond Fowler in 'The Andreasson Affair' (1979), which introduced the idea of alien implants to ufology and mixed the encounter with strong religious imagery.

The sceptical view

The narrative was recovered through hypnosis a decade after the event, a method known to produce confabulated memories.
