Following their respective 1960s-era Close Encounters of the Third and First Kind, the lives of New Hampshire residents Betty and Barney Hill, Norman Muscarello, Eugene Bertrand and David Hunt were forever changed. Nearly 50 years later, documentary filmmaker Jeff Finn [Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison] interviewed over 100 relatives, friends and others connected to these two legendary events, including actors James Earl Jones and Estelle Parsons, ufologist Stanton Friedman, author Kathleen Marden, Air Force Lieutenant Alan Brandt, and surviving family member Thomas Muscarello.
Co-directed by Jeff Finn and Jess Finn and narrated by Peter Weller, Strange Septembers: The Hill Abduction & The Exeter Encounter deciphers the mysteries surrounding the twin peaks of UFO cases: the September 19, 1961 abduction of Betty and Barney Hill, and the September 3, 1965 close encounter of Norman Muscarello, Eugene Bertrand, and David Hunt.
