Did the Twilight Zone Influence Barney Hill's Alien Claims?

8/10/2014

38 Comments

 
Since I reviewed both Ancient Aliens and In Search of Aliens this week, I don’t have another lengthy post in me. Instead, I’m going to direct you to my revised and expanded version of my post on alien anal probes, which I’ve now added as a featured article in my new UFO section of my website. In expanding this article, I went back to some of the source material about Barney Hill’s alleged 1961 alien abduction, as recounted in his 1964 hypnosis sessions, published by John G. Fuller in The Interrupted Journey.
I wrote about these back in 2012 (since updated), when I expanded on researcher Martin Kottmeyer’s 1990 observation that the aliens Hill described closely resembled the creature from “The Bellero Shield,” an episode of the Outer Limits that aired in the weeks before Hill’s hypnosis session. I concluded that Hill drew elements not just from “The Bellero Shield” but also from two other episodes of the Outer Limits from the same month, “The Invisibles” and “The Children of Spider County,” which together accounted for most of the elements present in his hypnotic account of his abduction experience.

Kottmeyer later reached out to me to criticize my findings, insisting that only the episode of the Outer Limits he is famous for identifying could have contributed to Hill’s description. I discussed the claims and counterclaims in late 2012.

If you’re willing to agree with me that more than one Outer Limits episode contributed Hill’s description, then you’ll be interested in this observation I made while reviewing the material. There was one detail of Hill’s account that didn’t quite fit with the Outer Limits. Hill described each alien as wearing a “black, black shiny jacket and scarf.” In 2012, I put this down to a garbled account of the black suits worn in “The Children of Spider County,” but now I think I’m wrong. I failed to remember at the time that the Twilight Zone episode “Black Leather Jackets” had aired on January 31, 1964. Barney Hill started hypnosis on January 4 and began describing the aliens and their apparel on February 22. In the episode, space aliens masquerade as a biker gang. They wear shiny black leather jackets and scarves, and distinctive visors that reinforce and recall the imagery of the wraparound eyes found in “The Bellero Shield” and “The Children of Spider County.” They also communicate with a giant video screen of an eyeball, much as Hill screamed about how “All I see are these eyes... I’m not even afraid that they’re not connected to a body. They’re just there.”

In his next hypnotic session on February 29, Hill first described the aliens as “hoodlums,” men wearing jeans (“blue denims”) and one with “a black shiny coat”—much like the Twilight Zone bikers. The only difference is that Hill assigned his aliens a cap, and none on either the Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits wears a hat.

Surprisingly, the plot of “Black Leather Jackets” bears a close resemblance to that of “Children of Spider County.” In both, a human-alien romance is thwarted by evil aliens planning nefarious actions that threaten the young couple. It becomes quite easy to see how Barney Hill might have run them together in his mind, reflecting on his own interracial romance with Betty Hill, his wife. Barney was black, and Betty white.

If Barney Hill was a big TV science fiction fan and watched the Twilight Zone along with The Outer Limits, this would help explain the last detail that didn’t quite fit with my idea, the shiny black jackets and scarves. The conflation of Twilight Zone and Outer Limits imagery from thematically similar episodes might explain the unusual details. Is this the source from which he derived the shiny black jackets and scarves?

Just a factoid for your perusal. The lead actor in both Twilight Zone & Outer Limits episodes was Lee Kinsolving (1938-1974), who played Scott in Black Leather Jackets (air date: 01/31/64), written by Earl Hamner, Jr., and Ethan Wechsler in Children of Spider County (air date: 02/17/64), written by Anthony Lawrence. I wonder if the same actor playing a similar character in two closely broadcast TV episodes reinforced Barney Hill's "imagination".

Wow! It's been so long since I saw "Black Leather Jackets" that I didn't notice that at all! I've updated the "Outer Limits" main article in my UFO section to add this information. How bizarre that the same guy played an alien running off with a human girlfriend twice in two weeks!

Brando is not the only dude on a big sickle in black leather.
Leonard Nimoy was on Sea Hunt, Perry Mason and Highway
Patrol before his big break. The short gigs paid about $200.oo
to $500.oo if lucky at a cattle call and looked good on a resume.
Bit part players were often called back for other shows. Gene
Roddenberry wrote five of the old Highway Patrol episodes. If
you are a fan of a series, you remember the credits but most
people simply go to another channel as a program ends. The
TV industry is socially incestuous, and only one tenth of the
actors who carry a union card make anything like a "living"
wage, everyone else has a day job and high hopes. Its cool
that the guy had have his 15 minutes of fame. Clint Eastwood
was also on Highway Patrol, each show took three days to film.
Brando sets the tone for all 1950s biker punks before James
Dean cut loose in Rebel Without a Cause as he wore a red
jacket. the low budget SF + Horror B+W flics were a drive-in
draw, as the guys tried to look macho as their dates freaked
out over the special effects monsters on screen. Type casting
existed. Steve McQueen needed his lil ole Western to live down
co-starring with THE BLOB. His bounty hunter role became him.

the ensemble combo of shiny leather jacket and scarf
also makes sense in the context of barnstorming pilots.
did the E.Ts watch the same "Zone" and "Outer" eps as
they decided to have life imitate art? In the movie "Contact"
we don't see the E.Ts but we are aware they exist. If there
is any cosmic truth behind what Barney & Betty Hill went
through, would they utilize the mass media images to give
themselves a context? something had them upset and not
in a calm, cool collected mind-frame. if at all real, their Ids
were in overdrive. the act of hypnosis pulls things out in a
jumble. if they both were not publicity hounds, then this is
still a curious question. Spielberg's E.T who wants to phone
home is his take on experiancer reports. Rod Serling on a
low budget did a likewise twenty years earlier. This is iconic!

it also is no coincidence that a decade after the Halloween
broadcast by Orson Welles of H.G. Wells's War of the Worlds
we see BLUEBOOK's predecessor collecting UFO sightings
from our Cold War era "peace time" skies as we went toe to
toe with the Soviets globally. the pure patriotic paranoia of the
early Cold War years needs to be commented on, let alone the
way the film industry was trying to relate to Freud's new, trendy ideas. Hitchcock's films had a psychological dimension, unlike
the early talkies where the performers actually shouted into the microphones. television was a communal experience, it almost
bankrupted the film industry when it kept many people at home!

Ah yes, the memories of those classic TV shows. I was a fan of both series and never bought into "real" alien invasions. I had and still have a very good and active imagination, but as to "real" UFO's and the "flying saucer" stuff, it was just good fiction. I admit there ARE some as yet unexplained UFO's that defy any explanation as of yet, but I do not think they are any sort of alien craft from another planet of time/dimension. Maybe my imagination isn't as great or active as I think it is...........LOL.
No matter, I'd rather not buy into EVD and the "ancient aliens" unless there is real proof. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary explanations or however that quote goes.
Just my (not so very) humble two cents worth. ($0.00000001372 when adjusted for inflation {snark})

It's certainly possible... though I'm not 100% sold on the value of rooting out such possibilities. It's already been demonstrated that not only are memories highly fallible, hypnosis is an incredibly unreliable method of recalling such (already flawed) data.

It could be that Barney Hill was influenced by these science fiction shows in recounting his 'contact'... he could also just be full of bullshit. He could be relaying socio-economic biases of the time, or his own personal skewed opinions. He could have been led on by the hypnotist, or simply telling a story he felt would "take".

For me, the connections to Sci-Fi shows of the period strays too close to the "looks like, therefore is" way of thinking. It makes for an interesting story, but not much else... especially after the aforementioned objections (as well as the evolution of their stories over time). What's worse, the tenuous link between the Hill's claims and TV programming gets twisted by Fringe enthusiasts to denounce skeptics as willing to take any argument that isn't supernatural, no matter how fragile.

Thank you for that comment. Sadly even now people think that hypnosis is a kind of "truth serum", and it is not.

One can further and say that not just is hypnosis unreliable in getting at truth it is very reliable in generating fantasy. Not only can people lie under hypnosis it is now clear that hypnosis can make people much more likely to confabulate and fantasize events that never happened.

Thus we get the last 30+ years of Alien Abduction stories many of which were generated under hypnosis done by incompetents. Thus we get the great Satanic ritual abuse conspiracy, again much of it generated by stories generated by hypnosis.

A sad thing in both cases is that all to frequently people come to believe the fantasies generated under hypnosis with detrimental effects on their lives.

Betty and Barney Hill. Wow, that takes me back to when I was knee high to an extra-terres.....uh, knee high to a grasshopper. I remember reading an article about it in (I believe) Argosy magazine back in the mid to late 60's. I was probably about 7 years old or so when I read it and much too young to have developed an idea beyond "whoa, that's cool" when it came to such accounts. But I wanted all at once to have the story proven or disproven. I suppose then that I already had what it took to be a critical thinker.

This purported tie-in to television sci-fi shows didn't meet my eye until roughly thirty years later. While I accept the plausibility that Barney might have uttered such things under the influence of hypnosis (itself no less a fallacy), my belief has always been that the story is made up. The revelation that the aliens resembled those in the television shows probably came as an afterthought rather than part of the original plan to con the world with their fictional account.

The Hills lived close to UFO contactee Frances Swan

Frances Swan was an automatic writer, medium and channel, who had been receiving messages through an Ouija Board from alien beings in orbit since 30 April 1954, with an ET called AFFA of Uranus, the leader of an organization called OEEV that was conducting a research project on Earth known as EUNZA, and later from Ponnar.(The names of Mrs Swan's extraterrestrial contacts suggest that she had just finished reading The Saucers Speak (1954), by George Hunt Williamson and Alfred J. Bailey, which reports Ouija Board contacts with dozens of space aliens, including Affa and Ponnar)

In addition to the Twilight Zone and Outer Limits there were other spooky TV programs. One Step Beyond comes to mind. I recall another show scared the crap out of me, I wish I could remember the name! Twilight Zone, per my recollection, usually wasn't particularly frightening.

I read some time ago and I can't recall the source of the theory that one can remember dreams while in a dream. That is you can be dreaming and in that dream recall a previous dream. the theory was hypnosis can "unlock" this dream memory. I do recall having dreams where there is alternate reality which was a dream in the first place. Not sure I'm explaining this very well but the HIlls could have had a dream from TZ or OL and were just remembering is as reality cause it was in their dream.

why do we hold back on things to a time*frame like Ken Ham's
flooded orchards? Jean Aeul's Clan of the Cave Bear novels
could be a subliminal gateway to a past reincarnation becuz
she alternates perceptive ideas with droll speculations that are
more accurate than a previous generation's take on both our
Early Modren Human and/or Cro-Magnon ancestors & the way
the last isolated bands of Neanderthals dealt with daily life in
the last Ice Age. I'd even assume the communal connecting up
with pure Squatchy-ness the team of FINDING BIGFOOT does
is reflective of their ability to tap into their very ancient past life
memories. Two to three million years ago Homo Erectus may
have evolved up a culture like what the "experts" think today's
Yetis, Yowies and Sasquatches have. Either we walk around
with the fragments of the synaptic memory connections a very
remote ancestor once had in our Ids oh so near our Super-Egos
or we are indeed reincarnated from time to time. its either that or
all great minds think alike & Plato is correct about the abstract.

here is a blog-post that compares augmented reality to virtual
reality, it compares Tom Cruise's Minority Report to Leonardo DeCaprio's Inception. I'm going with the "dream within a dream"
take but am suggesting that something inside our vast "waking
reality" was interacting with the Ids of Barney + Betty Hill in a
bold manner so as to suggest hypnotic suggestion inside a trance state. The hypnotism session later on opens up a latent
doorway. I am postulating something like the MIBs is doing
an equivalency to "dropping acid" on the often unsuspecting
pair as they "guide" them through the experience. there be
an interactive element inside what sounds like folie aux deux!

i am not trying to sneak MK-ultra lore inside this thread
needlessly... but keep in mind at about 1962 Timothy Leary
is leaving his academic roost in MA in order to go into NYC
and Andy Warhol's FACTORY. the CIA did drop LSD on good
folk like poor Mr. Olsen in 1953 and Leary's lysergics work is infamous. trance states and shamanism was being looked at.
often an iconic cultural "norm" was worked into things as a cue,
i am not directly blaming early 50s E.T 'nordics" but some MIBs
were cashing a gov't check. the pair drives down from N.H to
MA quite often, like clockwork. do they have a top secret file a
FOIA request semi-gloms into as in ancient magic marker'd
pages? KGB may have invented the theology we see on H2 but
some MIBs back then were CIA or DIA or FBI and quasi-legal.

8/11/2014 06:19:22 am

even if Timothy Leary really trips his own brains out
more often than John Lennon likewise did in the 60s
he once cashed a CIA check in the 1950s at about
the same time poor Mr. Olsen falls to his death. I am
saying how a reference to a Twi-Lite Zone episode very
unseen by both the Hills could tumble forth after an apt
hypnotic prompt, in a manner that sounds classically
MEN IN BLACK. the older threads on UnknownCountry
react to the passing of JOHN MACK of Harvard U. i can
see why some say Timothy Leary was a total jack@$$
or a total flake, but he did bring about LSD in the lab... he
is almost a modern JECKLL/HYDE morph becuz he has a
dark!side in a manner akin to Richard (darth vader) Cheney.

=========================================

the above links are a varied & jumbled mix of "lowbrow"
and "middlebrow" prose and if you are verysweetly nice
to me i shall go 95% into how lil ole OSR + her basket
of mind*control ideas and theories got poor ole W.S
very upset when she started to opinion on Harvard's
John Mack after his tragic death in 2oo4. she created
pure chaos on the posting areas until one of her many
bannings. in a few years in 2oo6 she went over into THE
BLACK VAULT and pitched a command tent. when Whitley
did not join her crusade against the powers that BEE under
the somewhat inept "W" she accused poor Whitley of being
a paid agent of Uncle Sam on the sly. this created the net
turmoil and churn after OSR tossed out some fish*bait chum.
she was often elsewhere on the internet, after seeing what
she did at the Black Vault, i found some of her other threads
elsewhere. poor Whitley was put thru H3LL by the turmoil, i
never thought he ever went CIA or worse, he had turned down
a few of their "feelers" in an honest manner. its complicated.
this is why the Uf0 explanation for the Hills is very tidy or total
fiction. anything that links Timothy Leary to them begs Qs!!!!

John Mack the Harvard Professor was in London, he is run
down by a very elusive automobile and driver. OSR did a few
rather crude comments about him and gov't paychecks as his
funeral was a recent event. i bring this up becuz Timothy Leary
and his very James Jesus Angleton approved of gov't program
checks became part of some of the Post-Watergate disclosures.
Was OSR actually an astute gov't operative who utilized poor
W.S's fame and fan*site as a non-Romulan cloaking device???
unlink the Hills to Leary and reality is very tidy. Link them and we
go into MIB lore of a very contemporary human nature + animal.

"This is the kind of thread I usually just read (or not), but normally would never participate in, since I'm not qualified to make a contribution. But, Onesmartrat, you've mentioned a couple of things that really caught my attention; one is your description of Whitley Strieber as a deliberately-programmed MPD. Having read "Transformation", frankly, your explanation makes more sense to me than his.

Second, and more personally, is your description of age-regression as a symptom of programming. I know someone, a grand-mother, who episodically regresses to the age of a young child, perhaps 6 years old, unless she takes a weekly injection (I don't know what it is, but if she doesn't take it, it's a big problem). She's been to a number of psychiatrists, who have diagnosed her as everything from schizoid personality, to manic-depressive, to God knows what else. I figure that if this age-regression thing was a distinct mental illness, they would have been able to diagnose it. In your experience, is this symptom usually related to childhood abuse, or specifically to programming?

Perhaps this woman was abused as a child. I have no idea.

As an adult, she was, however, treated for over 10 years by one psychiatrist who's been implicated in CIA-sponsored MK-Ultra experiments. I know it's not much to go on, but I'd be very interested in your thoughts."


-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Age- regression in itself is a normal human experience. healthy adults age regress all the time. However, contwext must always be taken into account when we are discussing age-regression in terms of a stress induced "dysfunctional or defensive" state. people subjected to trauma dn childhood abuse are ofetn unable to positively age-regress in a normal healthy mannner, but do in act automatically age-regress to younger age "alters" in order to handle or defend against any internally perceived threat. Example: A form of healthy age-regression would be when an adult can enjoy a puppet show and or even participate by spontaneoulsy picking up a puppet themselves and "pretending" in a playlike atmosphere ....particulary in the context of playing with and or entertaining children.
Trauma abused individuals will have a hard time doing this and may even have an aversion to it. They will not be able to regress in any manner that is playful and will be 'uninterested" and bothered even if someone tries to coax them by handing them a puppet, in this example, or if they do attempt this, it will be a forced type of pretense to which will be obvious they are not "having fun." However, under certain types of stress that reflect a similar "structure" to the kinds of trauma and the structure of their relationship with others in those circumstances, they will be triggerd inot an age-regressed 'protective' state in which they are emotionally and psychologically as they were at a certain age when they endured the original trauma and 'survived' it by adopting certain thinking and behavior.

An example of stresss-induced unhealthy age-regression is George W. Bush. He is constantly being made fun of by the more left-leaning critics that he talks "like an idiot" and on many occassions during spontaneuos questions and answer sessions such as with the media, he trips all over himself linguistically. This is not what it appears. He is experiencing internal stress to such a degree that he automatically is becoming spontaneously age-regressed(and he is a unstable Monarch) to such a degree that what is happening is that emotionally and mentally he is as a boy of about the age of ten or so (my guess) who is trying to answer adult questions and failing miserably. A good and very dramatic example of this that can be detected easily by anyone who looks at it from this perspective will see it clearly when viewing the segment of Michael Moore's 911 film during the time frame within which Bush sitting in a classroom reading a book to children is told that the first tower had been hit ....watch the guy's face shift dramactically to a childlike expression, and it stays that way for a good long time ...this is age-regression big time. His internal state would have been functioning at just about exactly of the age he appears....I would say maybe ten years or a little younger. His response in terms of his behavior was pretty congruent with the confusion and fear that a ten years old boy would probably have had in exactly the same type of circumstance (structurally, that is). That is why when he is first told, he is completely paralyzed psychologically and emotionally with a confused look on his face just as any ten year old kid would be when faced with such a tremendous overwhelming "adult probelm." This is a state, for him, that he automaticaly goes to under similar types of stress; i

to be very fair to Jason and his film critic's take on the old
OUTER LIMITs footage, you'd have to be severely myopic
or nearly blind not to see what he is saying... to be fair to his
better critics, i'm saying that a very small minority of the BLUE
BOOK reports sound similar to what the Hills had talked about.
you'd have to get past "swamp gas" dismissals to find the tidy
categories created by similar sounding sightings of E.T aliens.
people who like classification systems like that of C.Linneaus
tried to classify Milky Way E.T aliens in a similar manner thusly.
similar sounding e.t alien reports get lumped together as do
sighting clusters in a geographical area. BLUEBOOK was very
extensive. not all of it entered our mass culture or pop media...

It is possible the psychoanalyst fed them scenes from the Outer Limits and from Twilight Zone more so than the sillier stuff like memories of past lives, regression, etc. It is also more likely they made it up to become popular, and it worked for a while. As for more modern contactees they all seem to be connected to selling a new book or getting on a new talk show. They have no actual physical proof of anything.
