Carl Sagan and his views on the Betty Hill star map: He refused to believe that we are being visited by ETs.... Its always good when you can use Carl Sagans Pearls of Wisdom quotes to help promote the legitimacy of the UFO phenomenon. Capitalizing and using his own words to your advantage is priceless. “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” was a phrase made popular by Carl Sagan. It is central to scientific method, and a key issue for critical thinking, rational thought and skepticism everywhere. Carl Sagan also said that “The argument rests on how well the maps agree and the significance of the comparison.” To use his own words to our advantage: The Hill-Wilson star map is Earth based, and I use the respective Right Ascension and Declination coordinates to plot out the location of the stars. Right Ascension and Declination are the celestial equivalents of latitude and longitude. Visual observation was the first validation test and now the second test is the declination (horizontal alignment) of Position #10 and #3 to the triangle from top to bottom in degrees. The Hill-Wilson star map was plotted out to Norton’s Star Atlas 19th Edition using map pages 9 and 11. The Triangle, Position #10 and #3 and 20 Leo Minor (their home world) Horizontal Alignment of key features (Validation Test) Identity of star Declination (from high to low) Top of triangle: 6 CVn Dec: +39° 01 07.0″ Position #3: 11 LMi: Dec: +35° 48 36.5 Position #10: 61 UMa: Dec:+34° 12 5.888″ Triangle bottom left: Dec: +33° 14 51.3″ Triangle bottom right: Dec: +33° 3 41.5″ Note: Betty gets A++ for showing that the bottom left is slightly higher than the right side on the triangle. The triangle from top to bottom is 6 degrees and both of the stars declination falls between them. Position #10 is 61 Ursa Major, and position #3 is 11 Leo Minor. Both are correctly positioned in real life as drawn on the star map Home world: 20 Leo Minor: Dec: +31° 55 25″ What Betty Hill drew is identical to current star charts, and any astronomers are more than welcome to dispute these findings. We are not alone-were the primary destination We Earthlings are in orbit around the lower of the two large stars Triange is located below the Big Dipper--and was found after investigation of anecdotal story hillwilsonstarmap.net
