The UFO Incident

The UFO Incident is a 1975 American made-for-television biographical film starring James Earl Jones and Estelle Parsons based on the alleged 1961 alien abduction of Barney and Betty Hill.

Two years later, they are still tormented by what happened during a trip where they have a mysterious lapse of memory after seeing a UFO hover over their car.

Doctor Simon mentions that Barney has suffered from a childhood of racial strife and feels deep guilt about his divorce.

The UFO Incident did not have an official home video release until June 21, 2022 when Kino Lorber Studio Classics released a 2K remaster of the film on Blu-ray (Region A), including bonus features such as a commentary by filmmaker and historian Gary Gerani, a documentary about the film's music composer Billy Goldenberg, and optional English subtitles (SDH).
