Betty and Barney Hill Abduction Involved a A Nazi Crew? Baloney! Says Niece - But NOT SO FAST!

So I just read a dismissal of the Betty and Barney Hill NAZI crew material from their niece Kathleen Marden, BUT after looking at her argument vs others, she does not seem totally forthcoming. She only addresses the uniforms looked NAZI element and omits the red headed man, German Shepard, and apparent speaking of German...

Dr. Simon held sessions with the two for a period of six months, beginning in early 1964. Initially, at the end of each session, he would induce amnesia so they would not talk to each other about what they remembered. Barney recalled that, at one point, he got out of his car with his .45 military issue weapon that he once used in the Army. He fired at the UFO, but soon became overwhelmed by the aliens. They took him and his wife onto the spacecraft, where he recalled a red-headed Irishman greeting him along a number of people who did not appear human. He thought they were speaking German.
Barney described his experience, beginning with a description of the aliens’ uniforms. He said that they wore peaked caps and a uniform with silver piping — an appearance that reminded him of the SS Panzer Nazi uniforms worn during WWII. He also recalled there was a German shepherd that stayed near the red-headed Irishman.

Marden's statement:

A Nazi Crew? Baloney! 
     Several UFO believers have twisted Barney’s observation of non-humans aboard the craft and presented it as evidence that Nazi officers were working in concert with the Greys. This belief is not supported by the evidence when one examines Barney’s conscious recall taken together with his hypnotic recall.
     On October 21, 1962, Barney described to NICAP investigator Walter Webb, the non-human figures that he observed on the craft through binoculars. Walter wrote “The figures reminded the observer of the cold precision of German officers; they moved smoothly and efficiently and showed no emotion…”  The fact is that Barney had served in the Army during WW II and was attempting to draw a comparison between the movement of the non-human entities and German officers in order to give Walter a way to visualize their efficient movement as a group. To say that this indicates Barney encountered Nazis is a huge stretch of the imagination.
     Now let’s examine Barney’s statements under hypnosis. First it is important to understand the methods that Dr. Benjamin Simon employed. He did not use the technique that is used today when hypnotherapists work with suspected abductees. He was a psychiatrist and used hypno-analysis with Barney. In other words, he had no interest in a possible UFO abduction. His primary interest was in identifying troubling events in Barney’s past that reminded him of the emotional response he was experiencing when he viewed the craft’s occupants. The past was being tied to the present.
     As Barney relived the events in the terrifying close encounter field that had troubled him for months prior to his hypnosis, he had a powerful abreaction (release of emotion), and became so confused that he incorrectly remembered that he had already removed his gun from the trunk of Betty’s car miles earlier, when he worried about bears at the Mt. Cleveland picnic area. This is evidence of his state of shock. His terrified mind does not want to relive this event, but Dr. Simon has forced him to move on. In addition to experiencing it, Dr. Simon had given Barney instructions to tell him all of his “thoughts and feelings” related to this event. As Barney relived the event under hypnosis in 1964, he stated, “And the evil face on the ……looks like a German Nazi.  He is a Nazi.” Certainly Barney had not described a Nazi to Walter Webb in October 1961. Nor did he later describe the non-human entities as having a Nazi appearance. Yet based upon this tiny statement made in a state of terror, under hypnosis, in hypno-analysis, some individuals with a clear Nazi UFO agenda have expanded this momentary psychological interpretation to mean that Barney was abducted by Nazis working in concert with the Greys. Barney also stated that he felt like a rabbit. Using the same logic would it be safe to say that Barney transformed into a rabbit? More attention should be given to Barney’s conscious recall.
