Early life Betty Hill was born Rebecca Jane Lapsley around 1876 in Nashville, Tennessee. Her father built the first school for African Americans in Davidson County, Tennessee.

It was the first widely publicized report of an alien abduction in the United States. The incident came to be called the "Hill Abduction" and the "Zeta Reticuli Incident" because the star map shown to Betty Hill could possibly be the Zeta Reticuli system according to some researchers. Their story was adapted into the best-selling 1966 book ''The Interrupted Journey'' and the 1975 television film ''The UFO Incident''. In the early 21st century, plans were announced for a movie and a TV series based on the incident, although as of 2022 nothing has been produced.
