                  GERMAN RESEARCHERS PROPOSE NEW SOLUTION TO THE
                               "BETTY HILL STAR MAP"

       This interesting paper  begins  with  a  review  of the famous "Hill
       Case", the quintessential UFO abduction case.  Attention is focussed
       on the "star map" which Betty Hill  was  shown  by  the "Leader" and
       later reproduced under hypnotic regression. Marjory  Fish's solution
       of that map is then discussed.

       An interpretitive analysis of the interaction between Betty Hill and
       the "Leader", and  noticing  two  small  curved lines in the largest
       circles of the Hill Star Map led Koch  and Kyborg to seek their own,
       new solution to the star map.

                                      Page 1

       In their analysis  of the "Leader's" presentation of the star map to
       Betty, they discerned  that  the   "Leader"   had   obtained  enough
       information to determine  Betty's  limited  astrnomical   knowledge;
       mostly about the  planets  in  our  own  solar  system.   They  then
       postulated that the "Leader" presented  information  to  Betty  in a
       frame of reference with which Betty should have been familiar.

       When Betty "failed  the  test" by not recognizing  the  location  of
       Earth in the  map,  the  "Leader" closed the map from view. Perhaps,
       Koch/Kyborg reasoned, it WAS OUR  OWN  SOLAR  SYSTEM  that Betty was
       shown.

       Wondering if the two small curved lines across the two large circles
       in the map  foreground  indicated the rings of Saturn  and  Jupiter,
       they used a  computer to plot the positions of the various bodies of
       our solar system at the time of the Hill abduction.  With some work,
       and one major assumption, they found  a  good match to the Hill Star
       Map within our own solar system.

       The "major assumption" to which we refer is that their best solution
       comes not on the day of the actual abduction but on  a day about one
       month later during the nights that Betty Hill experienced nightmares
       of the abduction  and  saw  the star map again in her dreams.  These
       nightmares ocurred only once.

       To us, the most suggestive detail  is  that the Koch/Kyborg solution
       accounts elegantly for a detail of the Hill Star Map  that  the Fish
       solution does not address: a small central circle drawn with a thick
       line.  The position of our sun coincides with this feaure of the map
       in the proposed  solution.   This  was  discovered  after  the other
       correspondences were accounted for.

       The researchers' logic is plausible,  with the possible exception of
       the date and its rationale.

       The text is accompanied by several illustrations  of  the  Hill Star
       Map as drawn  by Betty Hill, and printouts of the computer generated
       diagrams of the solar system indicating the proposed solution.  Some
       of these printouts were difficult to read, but did show the solution
       as stated.

       We feel that this proposed solution  of  the  star  map is worthy of
       serious consideration.  In  our  view, the Koch/Kyborg  proposal  is
       generally as plausible as is Ms. Fish's.

       This paper is not currently available in the U.S. to the best of our
       knowledge.  It certainly should be, and no doubt will be available.
