Qualsiasi spiegazione si provi a dare alla storia di Barney e Betty Hill, come a tutte le infinite storie di abduzione aliena che seguiranno nella storia, avranno sempre una caratteristica comune: dalle ipotesi di totale fantasia senza alcun fondamento a quelle di reali eventi di origine aliena, risultano tutte inesorabilmente e in modo frustrante sempre profondamente inconcludenti.
Eppure, queste storie non cessano di essere incredibilmente affascinanti e suggestive, quasi seduttive, quando le si legge e rilegge ogni volta. Tutti noi, ascoltandole, proviamo un senso di fascinazione che sta a metà tra la paura e la curiosità, passando per un senso di mistero, impotenza e predestinazione che tocca corde particolari nella nostra coscienza, difficili da esprimere a parole.
