Hi. While it is true that amniocentesis has been around since ~1882...it was not the routine pregnancy test used in Betty Hill's era...that was the rabbit test...it died. My recollection is that the very first MRI image popularly seen was a poor resolution mouse...in Discover magazine. I remember holding it up to my chemistry classes at Hanover High School, and telling them...learn this technology, imaging without ionizing radiation...I had worked in X-ray solution service technology..and could see what was coming.That could only be the years 1978-81, long after Barney & Betty's experience.
The Astronomy magazine article specifically spent a long time on the anomalous ability of Betty to draw in a star...unknown to the astronomers of the day in that position. Not my invention. Ciao. Pete
