Today, September 19, 2011, marks the 50th anniversary of the Betty & Barney Hill UFO abduction case. The recent coverage has been fairly extensive, with Fox news even getting in on the act. And it now appears Hollywood producer Bryce Zabel of Dark Skies fame plans to update the The UFO Incident, the 1975 TV movie about the Hills, by way of Kathleen Marden & Stanton Friedman’s contemporary book, Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience. With all this activity, including Strange Septembers: The Hill Abduction & The Exeter Encounter, the new feature-length documentary by Jeff & Jess Finn, there are a lot of sparks flying in the ufology community!

Check out the excellent Exeter article’s slide show for a photo of the new Exeter UFO Festival t-shirt, designed by Jess Finn, co-director of Strange Septembers!

The 3rd Annual Exeter UFO Festival was a great success! Many thanks to those who participated, attended, documented, or worked behind the scenes. You helped make this year’s event our best yet! We look forward to seeing you again in 2012…

In honor of today being the big day, here’s a recent feature article from The Wire out of Portsmouth, NH.
