1909 Newington, Dover

"In the winter of 1909 a great airship, blimp type object, was seen flying over the Great Bay that separates Newington and Dover, N.H. …The object had yellow lanterns and was very big. It mesmerized people up and down the Merrimac and Piscataquis River."

During the 1940’s Location unknown

“My first encounter with a UFO was with my parents at the age of five. We were returning from a summer outing in one of our great scenic lakes...where we were living. Driving south on US 3 highway, a bright silver object appeared in the sky and appeared to follow our vehicle south. All our family witnessed this, which included my father, mother and two brothers. It moved with great speed when it wanted to, and climbed to great heights in just a split second. It changed direction in ninety-degree-or-better-angles, and shot off in opposite directions. We probably observed this craft for about three to five minutes.”

Summer 1942 Sanbornville

“David Townsend was visiting a friend. One night he was out fishing on the lake with a local girl. While David was watching the water where the line trailed, the girl let out a scream. He saw her staring at the moon, and as he glanced up he could see what looked like a heavy streak of lightening running around the edge of the moon’s disc, about two-thirds of the circumference. The total time for the trip was several seconds. Was it lightening? The night was clear with the moon either full or within a couple days of being so. No storms were in sight anywhere. The streak didn’t appear instantaneously but developed a path over a short period of time.”

July 6, 1947 Londonderry

On July 6 two large discs were seen, and a whistling noise was heard in Londonderry. The next day, a pilot flying over Alton Bay saw a long, thin, solid metal object at one thousand feet and going about seven hundred miles per hour. People in West Rindge reported unusual objects that left strange metal fragments on the ground. On July 10, a man was able to photograph three flying discs at five thousand feet over Lake Winnipesaukee as they headed towards Alton.

July 5, 1947 Alton Bay

At 4:26 pm, “Thomas Dale, 26, son of Governor Charles M. Dale, and a veteran of more than eight years of flying, was piloting a private plane from Laconia to Portsmouth during the afternoon. With him was a friend, Jere Stetson, of Newfields. At 4:26 pm, as they flew southwestward over Alton at al altitude of 2,800 feet. Dale and his companion saw a strange object about two miles away to the east and some 1,500 feet below their plane. It was approaching the young men at an excessive speed and in 15 to 18 seconds it had veered to the north, out over Alton Bay and Lake Winnipesaukee, toward Moultonboro, where it was lost to view. ‘I’m not saying it was a flying saucer or disc. Dale told newspapermen later, ‘But whatever it was, it wasn’t a conventional plane. He said that it did not in any way, shape or manner resemble any type of known aircraft. The two observers described the object as definitely of metal construction, about twenty feet long, and not exactly round in shape. When it was first seen, the object was observed in profile against the trees on the ground below and to the left of the witnesses. Both Dale and Stetson said they had never seen anything like it in the air before, and added that its appearance left them both flabbergasted. Dale had been an ATC pilot during Word War II and was thoroughly familiar with all types of conventional aircraft.”

July 7, 1947 West Rindge

"A group of people had been surprised by the sudden appearance of wisps of smoke and flames rising from nearby lawns and fields. Many small-burned areas were discovered in a two hundred foot diameter circle. They seemed to have been caused by hot fragments of metal that had apparently fallen from the sky. The principle witness turned several of the fragments over to Professor Rentges of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for analysis. Rentges expressed the opinion that the material, which had obviously been subjected to terrific heat, resembled the lining of the rocket engines of German V-2 ballistic missiles he had seen in New Mexico. Four of the collected fragments, when pieced together, appear to have been part of a hollow cylinder eight inches diameter and having a wall thickness of three-sixteenths of an inch. The material had been subjected to spectrographic analysis and was determined to be ordinary cast iron that had been subjected to a very high degree of heat. FBI Director, J. Edgar Hoover, sent a memo to the Air Force’s Director of Special Investigations concerning this case. Fragments were sent to Dow Chemical Company in Midland, Michigan. Dow produced refined magnesium, and after experiments with the metal fragments created an alloy called ‘Dowmetal’.”

At 9:00 pm “Two men made almost identical reports of seeing three yellow disc-like objects in V-formation, moving northwest over the city at high speed about 9:00 pm. Roger Plaisant, of 842 Clay Street and Henry Ray, of 834 Somerville Street agreed that the objects seemed to be high in the sky, and Ray added that they appeared egg-shaped and were quite bright.”

At 3:50 am “Mrs. Earl O. Anderson, of 79 Kennard Road, was awakened at 3:50 am by the barking of dogs in the neighborhood. Looking out her bedroom window to see what the cause of the commotion was, she saw a saucer-shaped light, slightly to the north of the Derryfield Reservoir. The object was whirling about at a fast pace and continued this for a few minutes – long enough for Mrs. Anderson to be certain she was not seeing a shooting star or some kind of a reflection in the starless sky. After several minutes the object finally passed beyond her view through the window in a diagonal slant.”

September 17, 1947 Lebanon

"Today I observed a so-called flying saucer. This occurred while I was half way up Rix Ledges, north of Lebanon, N.H. I was intently watching honeybees circling in a patch of sky after leaving my bee box. My attention was called to a floating object that appeared to be as large as a tennis ball and was as white as cotton batting. This object approached rapidly and noiselessly from the east and was followed closely by another object that appeared in size and shape like a saucer, which maintained a constant angle of inclination to the ball and followed in at a constant distance. The two objects made an angle with my eye of approximately five degrees. They were in my vision for more than a minute when I lost them in the glare of the sun. If I had seen this in the night sky with my six inch telescope I would have thought that the planets Venus and Saturn had suddenly gotten together and were traveling at great speed much nearer the earth.” This is from a letter to the FBI, the witness name has been blackened out, was written on State of Vermont, Dept. of Education stationary.

At 5:50 pm, “While sitting in an automobile at the intersection of Taggert Street and Goffstown road. I happened to look in a northwest direction and saw an object explode in flames. The color of the flames was white. I did not know what direction the object had been going in until I saw this ball of flame. It then appeared to be falling straight down, although at the distance I was from it, which was about 15-20 miles, it could have been falling at an angle…when the object hit the ground, which was out of my vision, I noticed a bright red flame burned for about 20-25 minutes.” Emergency crews didn’t find anything.

At 7:45 pm a witness saw what looked like a star that pulsed and around it were six to ten evenly spaced white lights. It moved slow and steady. There was no exhaust or sounds. It went behind a mountain. At 9:10 pm a second witness watched the same object descend steeply to the ground.
