Maybe… But it still feels like exploitation for personal gain.Īnother aspect of this project that gives me pause is that Angela Hill, the granddaughter of Barney who is a known UFC fighter, is also involved with the production. Will White Mountains signal a total 180-degree on his attitude toward UFOs, now that they’ve gotten a new shiny coat of paint and a flashy new acronym -Unidentified Anomalous (née ‘Aerial’) Phenomena, or UAP- which increases their respectability? Throughout the years I’ve written on several occasions on how former president Barack Obama has always treated the UFO subject as a comedy punchline, even after the phenomenon lost some of its stigma and he was forced to admit that Yes, there are things out there that reputable witnesses like Navy pilots report from time to time which escape mundane explanations. The logline for the film reads, “After an interracial couple in the 1960s has a horrifying encounter with a UFO, they set out to discover if it actually happened, or if it is just a case of folie à deux–madness for two.“įirst red flag for me is that the movie is produced by the Obamas. Netflix had formed a partnership with the former first couple, and this film will be a new addition to their growing roster of films after titles like Kevin Hart’s Fatherhood and Michael Keaton’s Worth. What’s on Netflix also reports that the feature will be produced by Higher Ground Productions, the production company of former president and first lady Barack and Michelle Obama. The writing duo also penned the 2014 movie, The Republic of Rick. The movie will be written by the screenwriting partners of Becky Leigh and Mario Kyprianou. Which is why the recent announcement that streaming giant Netflix is planning to release a movie called White Mountains about the Hills case fills me with reserved elation: Benjamin Simon (an expert in trauma who used hypnosis in his practice to alleviate the stress of war veterans), should be taken literally to those who think the Hills suffered from a shared delusion triggered by a sighting of Jupiter while they were returning from their delayed honeymoon in Niagara falls (about one mile south of Indian Head, NH) which was furthered fueled by Betty’s dreams over the course of weeks after the sighting took place -never mind the fact that the Air Force did confirm their radars had indeed tracked an unidentified object around the time the Hills claimed to have had their otherworldly detention. In fact, over the years the popularity of the Hills case has only been matched by the controversy surrounding it, and the numerous attitudes taken towards it by people on both sides of the UFO camp ranging from people who believe everything about the experience as retrieved from the memories of Betty and Barney, both consciously and throughout the hypnosis sessions conducted by psychiatrist Dr. There are few close encounter cases as famous as the story of Betty and Barney Hill, the interracial couple who in the 1960s became the first publicly known case of what would later be called “alien abduction” - classically described as a type of close encounter in which the entities take the witnesses aboard their craft against their will (usually subjugated by some sort of mind control) to perform a series of painful medical procedures (even though no two experiences are exactly alike).
