Very small amounts of individual particulates consist of materials one would expect to find on a dress which has hung in the closet for four decades, i.e. Some of this protein and natural oil may have suffered some degradation. There is indication that the pH is more acidic than the control. The material has completely permeated swath #3. This evidence shows the substance originates from an external source. More of the substance is on the exterior surface of the dress than on the interior for Swaths #1 and #2. (Very small amounts are present on the control.) (See Conclusion 2.) This material is predominantly present on the discolored swaths. There is evidence that this material originally contained moisture. The fabric is coated with a biologically derived material which is composed of mostly protein (both water soluble lower molecular weight and insoluble higher molecular weight) and a small amount of natural ester-type oil. These areas also appear to contain more particulate material than a control. The discolored pink/magenta areas of the dress have suffered chemical effects on both the dye and the fiber. Conclusionsġ.) The dress fabric is identified as a cellulose acetate knit. The object of this report is to document the analysis of the dress worn by Betty Hill during the abduction.

Further details of what may have occurred can be found in previous cited references. Both Betty and Barney were subjected to physical examinations. Hypnosis of both Barney and Betty suggested they had been abducted. They both felt clammy and dirty, and Barney suffered other physical problems.

The next thing they remembered was a second series of beeps as they were passing through Plymouth. The Hills felt a tingling sensation and became drowsy. Suddenly an irregular beeping sound was heard. He suspected they were about to be abducted, jumped in the car, and raced down the road. He could see several uniformed, human-like figures. The object appeared to be the size of a 4-engine aircraft. A blue-white fluorescent glow shone through its windows. About two miles north of North Woodstock, the object descended and hovered about 100 feet in the air. They observed a spinning, flattened circular disk with multicolored lights on the rim. After resuming the drive, both Betty and Barney looked at the object through binoculars. Barney stopped to retrieve a 0.22 pistol from the trunk. They continued to observe it as it apparently paced them and got closer and closer. At approximately 10:15 they noted a “bright star” which appeared to move erratically. They were traveling south on US Route 3 in central New Hampshire. Their itinerary took them to Niagara Falls, then to Montreal, and home. On September 19, 1961, Betty and Barney Hill, along with dachshund “Delsey”, were returning home (Portsmouth, New Hampshire) from an extended weekend pleasure trip to Canada. The reader is especially directed to the classic book on the event, “The Interrupted Journey”1, and “The UFO Encyclopedia”2.

The reader is directed to these easily locatable literature references for the details. However, there is much we do not yet understand, some of which we will never comprehend.This famous case is well documented in many publications and on many internet web sites. The looming presence of the unknown is daunting and sometimes frightening. When we experience something that doesn't make logical sense, the mind looks to conjure any explanation no matter how outlandish it appears. I even started to believe that perhaps I had been abducted by some kind intergalactic being as they claimed occurred to them fifty-four years ago. Within this period, I felt a close connection to Betty and Barney Hill and their story. 'While making the album I endured an experience so horrendous, torturous, and inexplicable that words fail me and explanation seems impossible.

'The Ballad of Betty and Barney Hill' pulls us deeper into Toil and Trouble, De Augustine’s exploration of the counter-world that the fantastical 'Another Universe' single introduced us to last month. The song is based on the Betty and Barney Hill incident, a famous UFO sighting and alien encounter involving a couple in New Hampshire in 1961.
