How Many Dollars
A blog for Three-Dollar Kit
7/26/2021 1 Comment My first tweet stormI plan to do a few Twitter threads about the Hills case, as there's a few different angles to cover. I'm a little more comfortable with Twitter than with Facebook, and I like its bite-sized method for delivering certain types of communication. Here's my first thread, looking at how Betty and Barney Hill did not have missing time on their 7-hour journey from Colebrook NH to Portsmouth, and how both Marden's and Fuller's books conveniently ignore the earlier information from the Hills themselves in order to create two hours of missing time.
The thread is fully illustrated and - fair warning - it does include fourth-grade math. Click the pic to begin.

Fantastic and thorough examination of the FACTS related to the B&B Hill story. I essentially believed the entire account when I was a child, but as I've grown older and learned better critical thinking skills my belief that this was all just human error and 'artistic embellishment' became pretty strong. Your excellent analysis and explanations, along with the help of Google Maps makes it pretty iron-clad that this was all just a major mistake propped up by presupposition and confirmation bias.
