His meticulous 1966 account of the 1961 Betty and Barney Hill abduction in New Hampshire drew on psychiatric hypnosis sessions conducted by Dr. Benjamin Simon and became the first mainstream treatment of the UFO abduction phenomenon. Fuller also authored Incident at Exeter (1966) and The Ghost of Flight 401 (1976).
