>From what I've read (and I suspect I have many more decades of reading
on the matter than Samantha), for years the 'star map' that Betty Hill
drew was touted as 'proof' of her encounter.
But after about 20 years, someone finally got the bright idea to present
the 'map' to a group of astronomers, astrophysicists, etc. They to a
person pronounced the map as 'worthless' if it was meant as a 'road map'
by which to steer a space vehicle (which is what Betty Hill claimed she
was told by the aliens)...
The map is 2-dimensional -- and more importantly, Betty described the
'chart' from which she drew her 'map' as also being 2-dimensional. This
makes it totally worthless for its claimed use, as someone actually
'driving' a space vehicle would need a 3D guide to the universe...
That's not to say I think the Hills were con artists who created a
deliberate hoax. I believe that they sincerely believed what they said
happened to them indeed happened. But that does not mean that what they
BELIEVED happened indeed actually happened, in an objective sense. Only
that SOMETHING happened to them, which afterwards they remembered as an
'alien abduction' scenario.
Clues to what perhaps the real nature of their abduction may have been
are hidden in their own descriptions of what they remembered...
