'RoboCop' Weller Narrates New NH UFO Documentary

"Strange Septembers," released next week, focuses on the Hill Abduction and Exeter Encounters of the 1960s; features numerous interviews.

"Strange Septembers: The Hill Abduction & The Exeter Encounter," is a new feature-length documentary that explores two of the most famous and well-documented UFO encounters in history, that also occurred in New Hampshire: The 1961 abduction of Betty and Barney Hill, and the 1965 UFO sightings seen by dozens, including Exeter Police officers and military officials.

The documentary, which is narrated by Peter Weller, the star of "RoboCop" and many other feature films, will be released on VOD and digital download on April 1, 2016, on Vimeo On Demand, according to directors Jeff and Jess Finn.

"What can these two controversial UFO cases tell us about where we've been, where we are, and where we're going, in terms of potential human interaction with intelligent extraterrestrials?," asked Jeff Finn. "If either of these landmark close-encounter cases occurred as the participants claimed, we are then faced with the shocking reality of a pair of the most important incidents in human history. For those clinging to a rigid worldview, the Hill Abduction and the Exeter Encounter could prove to be mind expanding as well as life changing."
