Well, this website calls them both hoaxers:
Betty Hill - www.nndb.com...
Barney Hill - www.nndb.com...
Is there any truth to the "hoaxer" accusation or any evidence to support that they hoaxed and made up their stories? There's too much detail for me to believe they're hoaxers.

5. The radar confirmation of an unknown object by Pease AFB in the area of their sighting.
Not to mention the star map, which is detailed in the book "Captured". I still wonder how the got an Air Force base to go along with them.
As an “additional item,” Major Henderson included the following information on the front page of his intelligence report:
During a casual conversation on 22 Sept 61 between Major Gardiner D. Reynolds, 100th BW DCOI and Captain Robert O. Daughaday, Commander 1917-2 AACS DIT, Pease AFB, NH it was revealed that a strange incident occurred at 0214 local on 20 Sept. No importance was attached to the incident at that time. Subsequent interrogation failed to bring out any information in addition to the extract of the “Daily Report of the Controller.”
It is not possible to determine any relationship between these two observations, as the radar observation provides no description. Time and distance between the events could hint of a possible relationship. [Note: emphasis by author.]

Go read the links I posted again. Under "Occupation" it says they're Hoaxers.

If that's the case, I'll send messages to management letting them know we can shut down ATS since we have Google.
The men were “human
in form,” Mrs. Hill recalled, but somewhat shorter than the average human, with larger chest cavities and somewhat larger noses. Their hair and eyes were black and their skin had a grayish hue.

But this Hill thing has gotten tiring since every UFO newcomer brings it up instead of doing some research into the 204,000 sources mentioned in google. I'm sure that by going to google first every question you may come up with will be answered.
Frankly, Dr. Simon said he didn't believe they had an actual experience. And when you look into Betty's background you find that she was not some innocent bystander, she has a record of being active in UFO matters way before her claimed abduction.
Additionally, there was a TV episode where her details can be found.
Research anyone?

Google presents information sources.
ATS allows for the discussion of the information.

Betty also later reproduced a star map she claimed was shown to her by the captain.

But only if the viewing point of the star map is from somewhere other than Earth, and only if it's rotated and finagled a bit. This is one of the hardest points to refute, but Kottmeyer again draws similarities to a star map shown in Invaders from Mars. One thing strikes me as odd: Betty claims that the map shows numerous stars as well as planets; Fish's interpretation only works if you assume that all of the dots represent stars. Fish's interpretation demands that you ignore Betty's statement that some of the little dots are planets. I'm not going to argue that Betty got the map from one source or another: I argue that if you throw some dots down on a peice of paper, and are liberal in your interpretation as to which ones are stars, planets, asteroids, or whatever other junk is floating around in outer space, you are very likely to eventually match it up with something, somewhere.
Joke of a case.. I could scribble some dots on a piece of paper now and they would match near perfectly with some obscure alignment of stars out there.. people fail to grasp just how big the known universe isedit on 11-10-2012 by therovers because: (no reason given)
