Ya gotta change "Betty" to another name. Betty Hill was the wife's name in an UFO-abduction [true] story.

From the 1960s, iirc.

Yes, Betty and Barney Hill. A black man married to a white woman, very controversial at the time.

You have a good memory;)

I looked it up and found several links; here’s Wiki:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barney_and_Betty_Hill

The Hills lived in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.[4][self-published source] Barney (1922–1969) was employed by the United States Postal Service, while Betty (1919–2004) was a social worker. Active in the local Unitarian congregation, the Hills were also members of the NAACP and community leaders, and Barney sat on a local board of the United States Commission on Civil Rights. They were an interracial couple at a time when it was particularly uncommon in the United States; Barney was African American and Betty was white.
