"I saw a bright green object speed across the sky. Definitely not an aircraft or a meteor, definitely solid object. Moved parallel to the ground at a speed too fast for an aircraft and too slow for a meteor. Moved from either Hopkinton or Penacook to Chichester.”

January 26, 2009 Rochester

“Driving up Rt. 16 passing through Rochester on way to North Conway, my wife on the phone with her mother, also driving the car. I was in the passenger seat. When around 10 pm, we both noticed a white-grey orblike sphere, come over the left side of the top of trees, and heading toward our car, and down to over our roof as if it was going to crash into us. (Kind of like if someone was throwing a snowball at us from over a hill). My wife screamed to her Mom saying, ‘What was that!’ While I was looking around to see if I could follow it, but the road was dark and trees on both sides. I don’t know where it went or what it was. It came close to the windshield to see it really good, almost hitting it.”

January 27, 2009 Salem

“Hello, my name is Santos and I would like to share a sighting I happen to witness. I was driving on my way to work on the morning on Tuesday, January 27, 2009. I was driving southbound on Route 93 around the border of New Hampshire and Massachusetts. It was still a bit dark with a bit of sunrise. When driving this morning, I notice, what I thought was an airplane just beneath the clouds. What captured my attention was that the aircraft appear to be falling from the sky. I said to myself, ‘My God! An airplane is falling!’ The problem here was the object dropped vertically with control, defying gravity. This was when it was clear to me to be a UFO. This object then climbed back up vertically, then traveled up in a 45 degree angle and flew out of the sky at an enormous rate of speed. At this point I asked myself, ‘What did I see?’ For me there is no other explanation...the object was a bright round glowing circle and was floating in the sky like a balloon (kinda like a light bulb in the sky). I was thrown back by the technology; this was not from this planet. I wasn’t afraid, if anything I was amazed and impressed...the event lasted for about 7 – 10 seconds.”

At 10:20 pm, “I witnessed a white light that looked like a shooting star go by fast, then got brighter, then exploded with a red and blue trail of flames and falling white particles. It was lower than the stars, inside the atmosphere, probably about 10,000 feet up or so. It took about six seconds to cross the sky; the explosion lasted about two seconds.”

February 2009 Pinkhams Grant

Wildcat Mountain Ski Area had a camera/production crew filming a commercial for upcoming events. As the man in the commercial is talking, the snow covered ski slopes are seen behind him. There are people skiing down the slopes and it shows a busy day at the ski area. At one point a white orb becomes visible, entering from the right. The orb was at the top of the hill, above the people. It moved with extremely fast speed, going from the top of the mountain, zooming down the hill towards the camera. With split second speed it was behind the man talking, and then veered quickly to the right. I watched the video again and again. A bird could definitely fly in the same fashion, but never at such great speed and cover such a great distance in a split second. When the video was stopped, the object only resembled an orb. The orb was filmed for approximately two seconds. It was posted on the ski resort web site.

At 8:30 pm, “Hovering object with bright lights that appeared to come from object with rows of windows, changing shape, seen for one hour. Went outside and saw a bright object coming towards me while I was in my driveway taking out the trash. There was no noise. The object stopped and it looked like a bright star. I went into my home and got my binoculars for a better look. Observed a large object that was hovering. The object had rows and rows of windows on a circular object. The lights appeared to be coming out of the rows of windows, however, the locations of the lights would change which made the object appear to change shape. I got another person to look through the binoculars and they observed the same thing.”

February 25, 2009 Unity

At 7:00 pm, “The object was the size of a football field, approximately 13,000 feet in the air. It made more of a humming noise. It was going very slow in a triangle pattern. It kept up in the triangle pattern for one and a half hours. It went directly over my house four times. It was magnificent. The craft was perfect, front and back, and looked like it had legs in the front and back. The front and back were identical. Not aerodynamic at all. The lights were the most beautiful blue you can imagine. It had red lights also. The blue lights were evenly distributed in front and back. The red lights were beside the blue lights. It went overhead, that it actually looked like, if you were to flip it over, a landing strip. It looked like a bug with legs. Why it kept the same route is beyond me. It was seen from Sunapee, N.H., also, when my boy called his dad to run out of the house to see this. We have two military people in our family that have never seen anything like this. When the craft went overhead it made you sick to your stomach. My mom who lives five miles away said it went overhead four times, also shook her house, she thought it was an earthquake. The eerie thing is, is that all the pictures of UFOs that we have looked at, not one looked like this. This almost looked like a mother ship getting ready to pick up little crafts. It looked like it was scoping out the land of about a twenty mile radius. It took about twenty minutes to come directly over my head each time. We last saw it about 8:43 pm. The lights on this craft did not stay on all the time, we got to see the lights shut off and come back on.”

Started out low and close enough to distinctly see the different colors and what looked like shooting stars coming from it. Object then made its way south after many jerky movements. Would often jerk left, right, up, down, closer or far away.”

“While I was out on my deck smoking a cigarette, I was looking at the moon and noticed how bright it was. It looked like the moon was moving, which we all know it doesn’t move, we do and not enough for me to notice. I ran in and got my son’s digital camera...I came out and took five pictures of the moon. As I was taking the pictures, I noticed through the camera that the color of the moon had changed to red, like a fiery sunset and then a blue color. Then I decided to drive to get a different view and went to Gary Lane and across the street is a dead end road. I rode to the end and the moon was bright but you could clearly see there was nothing in front of it as I had just seen. I went home. The next day I asked my son to download the pictures and asked him what he saw. He stated that there was red in one picture and he thought there was blue in another and wanted to know what I had been looking at. I explained and after reviewing them, we decided to enhance the pics to see what we could see and there was something there. What I don’t know. The direction the moon was in that night was east of Exeter, N.H. The actual thing I saw was triangle, looking once it moved away from the moon. There were three blue lights on it and it was at an angle.”

“Around 8:00 pm, I was outside chatting with a friend in my driveway. I observed a bright object moving low across the sky. It was a reddish white colored light and at one point became extremely bright (mostly white) while continuing along its trajectory. There was no indication of any strobes or beacons as I normally would associate with aircraft. It was moving away from us in a NW direction. No sound whatsoever could be heard and the brightness I observed could only be compared to a very close plane approaching us with its landing lights on. This object, however, was traveling away from us and away from any nearby airports. I estimate initial brightness at 5X the brightest star or planet in the sky and peak brightness at about 10X. The object disappeared from view beyond the horizon/tree line heading in a NW direction. It was moving rapidly enough to cover a large swath of sky in less than a minute. Impossible to estimate the exact distance from our vantage point, but I would figure five miles north of us, give or take.”

“Coming from Boston on Sunday night 3/22/09 at about 9:05 pm. We live in NH 03053. I pulled into my driveway and looked up at the stars because they were so bright. I saw what I assumed was a satellite, and said to my wife and two kids, ‘Hey look at the satellite.’ They got out of the car and looked up and said, ‘Where?’ My wife and daughter went in the house. At that point I couldn’t see anything move. Then I said, ‘Oh, I could have sworn I saw something moving.’ My son said, ‘Oh yaw, there it is.’ And it was moving slower than a few seconds before when I saw it from the car. I looked at the corner of the roof of the house to see if it was really moving and it was. Then it started moving a little faster so you could easily see that it was moving. We watched it for a couple of seconds and I saw it jerk real quick to the right about an inch, (as your looking at the stars) and then back. I thought that it was my eyes playing tricks on me so I didn’t say anything, but my son said, ‘Hey, that moved back and forth real fast, didn’t it?’ I said with total surprise, ‘You saw that?’ And he said, ‘Yaw, it moved.’ I asked what direction it moved in, and he motioned with his hands what it did, showing the same direction and movement. Then as we watched, it picked up speed, moving in the same direction (north) and it moved really fast and we lost sight of it in a few seconds.”

At 10:00 pm “I was out smoking a cigarette with my girlfriend and I noticed something in the sky that was moving very oddly...looked like a saucer from the side...it looked cigar shaped...it looked like it had a row of sequencing lights along the length of it. It had a red light in the center and lights on the sides of the red light. Sometimes the two lights on either side of the red light were blue and sometimes they were white. Most of the time they were white, but when they were blue, it was brilliantly bright like the red one. So at all times the UFO had three lights constantly blinking. When I stood still it seemed to move more and when I moved around a lot it seemed to, well, try and hide from me, like it could see me, or sense me looking, and it would stop moving and would stand still or even stop blinking and look like a star. It was bizarre. This object was making shapes with its movements; such as triangles, it would go back and forth and up and down or in a direction, but at an angle. It was doing half circles, like this C.”

“The power flickered on and off, which woke my boyfriend up, when his lamp (touch sensitive) turned on. He woke me and asked me to check out what he was seeing out the window. I opened my eyes and immediately saw the blue light flashing on then off. I thought it was a police car stopping someone on the street. I looked out the window and noticed the bright blue light looked like it originated about 50 yards away in the neighbors’ yard right next to or on the street. It was about two feet from the ground. It flashed and lit up the entire sky as bright as lightening. It was raining that night. When it wasn’t flashing, the sky was black. It continued to flash five or six times more, and then stopped. After it stopped, we both tried to figure out what it could have been. We came to the conclusion that it might have been a downed power line or something electrical, so we called the police to report it, especially as it seemed to interfere with the power. The police instructed us to call the fire department, who came to investigate. They couldn’t find any downed power line or anything out of the ordinary. A couple hours later the local utility company came to the house to investigate, followed by the police. We explained what we saw to them. They also checked the street, the neighbors’ property, our own property, but they found nothing as well.”

At 11:02 pm “While in bed, I watched a yellow, orange glowing ball cross in front of my slider from south to north, curving to the east at slightly below tree level. Initially, I thought it was a small plane trying to land at Pease AFB, but it slowed, dropped and sped up during its trajectory. I could even see the glow behind the trees often. Its speed was variable. There was no sound, was moving very fast and erratically, it seemed to bounce, mostly downward, fast. It flew up the Squamscott River, down Great Bay and approached Pease AFB from the east.”

“I live on the third floor of my apartment building. It has four windows facing the mountains to the south and west, and also the river behind Main Street. I had just put my children to bed around 9:15 pm, and went outside to sneak a smoke, when I heard what sounded like a vey low rumble, maybe a jet (not uncommon for jets to make a once over around here). I looked up and saw a small twinkling light moving very quickly south across the sky directly over Main Street. But as I was watching it, the light would go out completely and still flying in the same direction would show up again about five seconds later. I thought that was weird but didn’t think much of it. I went back inside and put on a movie. About ten minutes later, I heard the low rumble again, and noticed that the same twinkling light was coming back again from the east, but this time it was very low, about 100 feet above tree-line. The light did not blink out as it had before. It went out of sight so I sat back down to watch the movie. Then I guess three or four minutes later I got up to use the bathroom and happened to look out the window. What I saw caught me off guard. I saw three very large lights, like spotlights or headlights, straight ahead of my window. They were lined up horizontally and just hovered. It looked, from my perspective, that they were right over a nunnery that overlooks the river. I thought for sure that twinkling light I had seen earlier was now headed on a collision course with my apartment! Except the lights never got bigger - as if it were getting closer. It just stayed in the same place for about thirty seconds or so. I don’t know how long it was there to begin with, but I felt it knew I was watching it. Very quickly the bright lights seemed to dim into much smaller ones with soft blue lights in between and with a bright almost neon green aura around it (maybe one craft or two and one just turned off its lights. They were so bright I could not tell if the smaller one was there before.) It was circular with one large middle light that was white, and two smaller lights on either side of it that had a bluish tint, then two smaller white lights on the outer edge. The green aura looked like it just outlined the craft and was pulsating or glowing. The rest was black. It looked like the lights were rotating. It moved at a snails pace toward the river to the west. I watched it for a full minute before it just seemed to disappear. I looked around for it because I know that planes can’t do that, so it had to go somewhere. As I looked around I saw a single tiny red dot hovering at least seventy-five feet over the river behind my apartment, directly under the moon. It stayed there motionless, so I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but there was no reflections of anything red coming from inside my apartment. Anyway, I watched it for maybe fifteen to twenty seconds then all of a sudden it went straight up in the air! Slowly, at first, then faster. It stopped right dead center of the moon, then came flying right over my apartment. These objects made no sound! It was early in the evening so the moon was still pretty low, it was also a very clear night, no clouds in the sky at all.”

At 9:35 pm “I had gone outside tonight, around 21:35 to take the dog out. I had looked up to see a really bright white (star-like) light in the sky. I noticed it descending slowly. At first I thought it was just my eyes, but after watching for about ten more seconds, I knew I was definitely seeing it correctly. I immediately ran inside and yelled to my husband to come look at it. We both watched as this bright light descended very slowly behind the hills in the east/northeast. This light was almost 2 times the size of the brightest star/planet that had been just to the left of the light when I had first noticed it.”

May 24, 2009 Loudon

“My girlfriend and I, from Florida, were visiting family in Loudon for the weekend. At approximately 9:45 pm we decided to go outside and look at the stars…once outside we simultaneously looked up and immediately noticed a very solid bright white object, circle in shape, slightly oval. Its size was significantly larger than the largest visible star, about 10x larger. The general path of this object was a straight line, however along its path we both noticed slight, quick variations (left-right-left, down-up, etc.) If you pointed both of your arms to the sky and separated them four feet apart, that would give you an idea of the distance in approx. 45-60 seconds without dramatically changing shape, size or brightness until the very end of our observation, when within an inch of distance and a matter of 5 seconds, the object began to decrease in brightness until it was barely a speck of light and then no longer visible. The last seconds of our observation were representative of an immediate, extreme change of speed covering a great distance.”

July 5, 2009 Milford

“At 11:00 pm, four witnesses were at the Milford Drive-In when they noticed three or four objects. The lights on top were in a cross pattern. The object was similar to the new fluorescent light bulbs. It was a circle on top and then the bottom got smaller. It passed very, very low four times or four different ones. Four were flying together in the sky, way too close to be airplanes. They were very big and moving very, very fast. There were red lights on the crafts and they did make noise. They made four passes, had cross lights on top that wee red…it passed very low twice and you could clearly see it was a circle. Noticed at first when a star or bright object looked to appear out of the back of a plane. Then we realized the object was flashing and slowly moving. When the plane moved closer, you could tell it was not a plane.”

“Around 10:49 pm, I heard a loud noise coming from the woods in my backyard…I went to my back sliding door and began looking…then the lights appeared from the woods. The object seemed to rise from out of nowhere. Then the object began to move and the sound became increasingly louder and louder…like a very low digital frequency, but without vibration like a jet would cause. The lights were in a triangle formation with a super bright red light in the center of the triangle. The lights at each point of the triangle were bright white light at a downward facing direction. These lights did not emit glare or shine like normal lights. The lights looked unnatural. Not man made lights. This triangle was no more than two thousand feet above the ground and moved at an alarmingly slow pace…my girlfriend and I watched this object for two to three minutes before it disappeared.”

At 10:54 pm, a “White-yellowish light too large to be a plane hanging in the sky for a minute or so. I was driving home on Route 108 north in Kensington. As I was approaching the local elementary school, toward the north, I could see a large light sort of hovering in the sky. At first, I thought it could be the moon, but I very quickly realized that it was some sort of aircraft hanging in the sky. One thing was clear; the light was too large to be a plane. I couldn’t keep my eyes off the light, as it was so bright it could be seen through patches of trees. The light was round and had a yellowish tint to it. I continued to track the light until I lost sight of it, almost as if it had left my horizon. The experience lasted about a minute or so.”

“I, along with several other witnesses, including Hampton Police Officer Matt Dion, observed an unusual light in the eastern sky while standing on Hampton Beach. It was an erratic and jerky moving, non-blinking white light in the clear night sky, brighter than Venus. I, myself, observed it from approximately 9 pm to 11 pm. It defied the flight characteristics of any conventional aircraft in that it sometimes moved in very quick start and stops, quick ups and downs, sudden diagonals, and rapid left to rights. It was approximately 30-40 degrees above the horizon facing almost exactly due east.” The same witness saw lights again on Aug. 3-4.

At 9:15 pm, “I was standing on my back porch smoking a cigarette, when I noticed what I thought was a plane (since I am in a fly zone). It was a red blinking light with one white light at 9 o’clock and another white light at 3 o’clock. I started to realize it was strange when the white lights were not blinking (which would have been the wings of a plane). I called to my husband to come out and look at it. The lights around the object were actually illuminating the craft. ‘If it were a plane that low, why aren’t we hearing any sound?’ is what was going through my mind. As it was moving towards the east, towards the hill in front of our house, the white lights moved clockwise so the object was now vertical. We both are saying out loud, ‘What the heck is that!!’ At this time, the white light that was now at 12 o’clock separated, moving up, further away from the other lights. It continued to follow the lights (I say ‘lights’ now that the craft is not visible by illumination). We both ran through the house to the front to watch it more. As it reached towards the horizon of the hill, the white light that was at 12 o’clock was gone and a quick flash of white light (as if the flash of a camera) was seen in the north. After this flash, the lights were now beyond the hills horizon and out of our sight. About four to five minutes after this we returned to the back porch. I only noticed this light at about the half-way point of where my husband first noticed it. Just after that left our sight there was a plane moving towards the same direction. About three minutes after there was another plane heading in the same direction of the craft…It was almost like a really fat cigar shaped or oval-like. It was seen for two minutes.”

The object came closer to the tree line and all of a sudden two streams of light projected from the bottom as if it was preparing to land. I’m not sure as to what we witnessed, but it appeared to be an aircraft on fire or something else. My wife ran out with our video camera but by that time it was below the tree line…it seemed like 50, 100 or more miles out from us. It was undeterminable as to what the distance actually was. It seemed awfully close!”

It lit the inside of my yard, against the trees on both sides, so I knew it wasn’t coming from the neighbors’ house or the woods. It proceeded to me, lit up where I was standing and went up and lit up my house. Just as fast, the light went out and I could see the stars again. I live on a flight path for Manchester airport and when the light started, I was expecting to hear jet engines, but when the light went out, all was quiet. Not even a cricket.”

“I took these pics from Fryeburg, Maine last night. They were taken in the direction of Conway, N.H. or the southern end of the Moat Mountains. Just noticed the activity probably the last two or three weeks. At first, didn’t think anything of it, then sat and got a closer look. You can see the object with the naked eye. It looks like a large very twinkly star; you can see the color change with the naked eye as well. Sighting ranges probably at least one hour. I’ve never been there when it shows up; it’s always been something I’m noticing after it’s out. One of the pictures is from Monday and the other two are from Friday. The object is way out, the pics were taken with a 300mm telephoto lens and you can’t really get the details until you digitally zoom. Monday night pics were at 9:30ish. We saw the object rise then drop that night. On Friday it was a smidge earlier. It only dropped that night. Its movements are noticeable if you look very closely, way more noticeable with a camera fixed on a tripod. I set the camera to take 5-10 timed shots and came back five minutes later; the object was out of the viewfinder.”

“Saw a light, thought it was a plane. Looked through binoculars, saw three other lights. One bright light, crown shaped with different colors shooting out…flashing colors-yellow, orange, red…it started humming for twenty seconds. The humming sound echoed throughout the area, like a hollow humming sound. The lights got brighter, then moved closer when I looked through binoculars. Then they disappeared.”

September 26, 2009 Manchester

At 12:00 pm, “I was in Milford, just west of Manchester. I was with a friend of mine. We are both highly experienced commercial airline pilots with almost sixty years and forty thousand hours of flight experience between us. Around noon time my friend called me excitedly to the outside of the garage we were working in. He pointed high up in the sky to the northeast of Milford towards a position I would have to say was very nearly overhead the city of Manchester. As I looked, I saw an object that had to be at an altitude of seventy to eighty thousand in altitude, hovering over the Manchester area. (Please keep in mind that we are both experienced pilots used to making accurate judgments of an objects altitude.) It was spherical in shape and a grayish silver color. This object hovered stationary for some thirty to forty minutes. I have seen high altitude weather balloons and I know that it would be impossible for a weather balloon at that altitude to remain perfectly stationary for even a few seconds, even on the calmest of days. As for the idea of a helicopter, the object’s altitude rules that out. (Most helicopters can’t hover out of ground effect much above ten thousand feet, certainly none at seventy to eighty thousand feet.) We both watched the object for thirty to forty minutes and then watched it take off to the northeast at such a high rate of speed, it almost appeared to vanish. I don’t know what this was but I’m pretty damn sure what it wasn’t and so is my friend.”

“I live on a lake and was looking at the geese fly in moments ago, then it happened. A bright, like big meteor came into my vision from the NW and then it almost faded away (8-10 sec.) Suddenly it became brighter and appeared to slow down. I saw no blinking lights and it appeared to sway a little. I was in the Army, this thing didn’t move like anything I have ever seen before. I know it wasn’t a plane, sat., etc. It appeared kind of oval shaped and had some size to it. The object stayed pretty high up, but you could tell it was big; 747+! The movement of it as it slowed across the sky was fluid-like (weird). All that happened in 40 seconds and I ran inside my home to retrieve the camera and my woman. We went out and it slowly came into view above our yard…we watched for about a minute before it left our field of view.”

At 7:00 am, “I was traveling north on Pickering Road in Rochester around 7:00 am, when I noticed above the horizon in the northeast sky, which appeared to be a shiny, metallic object; undistinguishable in shape due to the amount of time I had to view the object; five seconds. When first noticed, the sun was shining on the object which gave it a brilliant appearance. It seemed to be stationary when I first noticed it, then suddenly it shot across the northeast horizon at a very high rate of speed.”

At 10:00 pm, “For one minute, two red/orange round balls of star-like light were hovering over us then disappeared. My wife and I had just left her parents house and were driving home. The area we live in is a dark area in New Hampshire away from city lights/other light pollution. We were driving on the road, headed southwest. It was a fairly clear night and up in the sky, almost exactly overhead, but not quite sure (since I was able to see it out of the windshield). I saw two fairly bright red dots. They looked like stars, but clearly were not, as they were a red to orange color. They were spaced apart, maybe the length of a twelve inch ruler if one were to hold it out at arms length. I (a college educated stock broker) at first thought what I was seeing were airplanes, but both dots were stationary. After about a minute, one of the dots abruptly disappeared. The other dot stayed, but slowly faded away to nothing. I am not sure how long they were in the sky, we saw them only a minute, but they could have been there before (we had only turned onto a road and saw them nearly immediately). My wife (a college educated teacher) saw them as well. My first thought was possible military flares, but we don’t have much military activity in this area of N.H. Since we were in the car, we were not able to hear if there was any noise accompanying the lights.”

At 4:45 pm, “My husband and I were vacationing in New Hampshire and not familiar with the geography of the area. We were walking on the golf course at the Steele Hill Resort in late afternoon. The golf course is at the rear of the resort and overlooks a wooded area sloping down a hill to a lake. On the other side is another hill (mountain?) that is wooded. I was taking photographs. A fog began to roll in limiting visibility. I could see only the outline of the landscape in front of me. Suddenly, two large round light balls appeared and hovered over what seemed to me to be the body of water. I was alarmed. I began snapping still photographs and then realized I had video capability. Then I changed the setting to video. The video clips are short; however they are video. I had an eerie feeling and immediately told my husband that they were UFOs. A man walked up to us and asked if I was videoing them. I told him I was. We walked over to The Lodge restaurant where we were seated for dinner. We were seated in front of a large multi-story window that spanned the entire back of the restaurant and gave us an excellent view of the same scene we had been watching. Seated next to us were four ladies who commented that they had been watching the UFOs…When the video clips were downloaded to my computer I noted that they were shaky (I was shaky, too!) These were made through the window. The others were made outside. One video shows the two balls still hovering and pulsating vibrant colors. Another brief ball of light swiftly appears like a comet rushing directly to them and immediately disappears. One of these video clips shows an outline of two faint balls directly behind the two bright ones. The UFOs then disappear. The still photos I made of this event first show one snake-like white light. The next one shows two curved narrow white light rods.

At 6:05 am, “Driving northbound on Rt. 93 at approximately 6:05 am, I saw what looked like a shooting star. Glancing upward to get a closer look and maybe see another shooting star. To my surprise, instead, I saw a black triangle, gliding southbound about 50 to 75 ft. in the sky. There were three circular lights on the bottom of the triangle which was equilateral in shape. The three circles were glowing very dimly and were not radiating much light. The triangle was very dark in color, and I would have totally missed it if it wasn’t for the shooting star. I believe that the shooting star may have actually come out of the triangle shaped object, but I can’t be sure since it happened so fast…the shooting star appeared to shoot sideways and even a little upward, which I have never seen before with a shooting star. Also, the same night, about 15 – 20 minutes later, I saw two bright stars – to the bottom left of the constellation Orion. These stars seemed out of place and were pretty close to one another. I tried keeping my eyes on the two stars, but trees blocked my view since I was driving through a forested area. Once I broke past the trees the two stars were gone. This all happened within a thirty second period from first noticing the stars and to them disappearing.”

At 10:00 pm, “Not too long ago we spent a week up in New Hampshire with my daughter and her husband. While there we stayed in our motor home on their property which abuts an air strip owned by her husband’s family, Morrison air strip...One night around 10 pm I decided to head back out to the motor home to get some sleep and my daughter said she wanted to walk over with me. I headed out first with her following shortly behind. As soon as I walked outside I heard a very loud, very deep humming sound and saw some lights up to my left coming very slowly over the trees. It wasn’t a hum like a helicopter or the roar of a jet, it was a steady deep hum like a factory or generating station would produce. The lights were shaped oddly; several lights in the front, narrowing in the middle with two more lights, then widening in the rear with several more lights, all white. If you image the shape of a dog biscuit; that’s about as close as I can explain the shape. It seemed to be flying low, although it might have been immense and I lost the concept of size and distance…we watched it fly across to the center of the field, then very quickly it headed south where we saw what appeared to be one side flipping up to make a V shape and a small light appeared up to the left. As soon as this configuration took place, the craft veered instantly to the left, farther south, and then very quickly to the right where it disappeared.” See illustration provided in the photo section.

“I was in my home and could hear a loud vibrating sound and looked out my window expecting to see some sort of vehicle in my private driveway but spotted spinning red and blue lights above the trees about a quarter mile out. Continued to watch and the object hovered, going back and forth and slightly up and down before slowly descending and landing in the woods. Could no longer hear the vibrating sound. It was in the pitch black of night and there are hundreds of acres of woods where it landed. It was large, appeared round.”

“A friend and I were traveling north on I-93 towards Lincoln, N.H. A bright yellowish tint light appeared to just turn on for a few seconds then turn off. I asked my friend if he had seen it and he said no. I instructed him to keep looking to my left to see if it would appear again, in doing so we observed the same light turn on again, then a second one appeared to the left of it. They appeared to be hovering at first glance. We then pulled over to watch them. Then with approximately 15–20 seconds they turned off again. I then took out my iphone and began recording what was happening. At that time, one appeared again in view, this is when I started recording and then another one appeared, then 3, 4 and 5 bright yellowish tint lights about a half to three-quarters of a mile above the mountain range. At this point it looked as if to take a V shape form. Then about 20–30 seconds later they started to turn on again. At this point a N.H. State Trooper had puller up behind us and came to my window to ask what we were doing. I asked him if he had seen these lights. He responded, ‘yes, I noticed two bright yellowish lights about two miles back.’ I asked him if there were any military maneuvers going on in the area and he said, ‘no, at first I thought it might be a plane, but these lights appeared to be stationary with little movement.’ Plus, he said he listened for any noise, but could not hear anything. I also asked him if this could be flares and he said, ‘no, not here in the National Forest. If they were flares, you could see them slowly descending with an illuminated trail.’ At this point he said we had to move because we were in a break down lane and that this was not an emergency so we had to leave. Now, I know there was a meteor shower going on that night…these lights were visible a half mile to one mile above the mountain range. These had nothing to do with a meteor shower. They were way too close and way too bright. I was able to catch a video of these lights.”

November 17, 2009 Littleton

At 6:00 pm, “I was walking home from work last night when I noticed two very bright orange lights (much too large and bright to be a star) behind the building I live in. These lights were side by side at maybe a 15 degree angle to each other. The light on the right started to dim and turn black, then a couple of seconds later would appear to the left of the other light…then the one that was now on the right did exactly the same thing. It continued this pattern for maybe 30 seconds. I thought they were flares at first, but they were not descending and the blinking was too methodical. It was not twinkling. Anyway, I ran upstairs to tell my boyfriend to look out the back porch, but then it was gone. I kept looking for a minute and saw some plane lights. But this was much too close to the mountain to be a commercial plane and there was no sound. It was moving pretty slowly for a plane and the lights were not consistent like a plane. It was very twinkly, red and white lights, but dim like it was very far away. It moved to the west for a ways then the lights went to a solid dim white light, continuing on the same path, then disappeared. I told my boyfriend about it while we were still on the porch. Just as I was explaining the plane thing, we saw a very bright light (as big and bright as Sirius looks sometimes) it flew right over our house, crossing Main Street very quickly and the light just dimmed out before it went out of sight. All of this happened within five minutes or so of when I first noticed it. I just found out that my friend that was coming back to town from Lancaster had seen the same thing as well! She described seeing the orange lights blinking in the same fashion as well.

At 6:07 pm, “I am a kitchen designer. Leaving work, walking across the parking lot, I looked up at the sky as usual. I saw an amber colored, round light. I heard no sound. First thought it was a far off plane coming in for a landing. Lebanon airport is on a hill right behind my job site. Then this light faded as another came on. This was in a straight line, so I thought the plane was banking and I was seeing the other wing. Then another light came on at the same rate as the second one faded, still in this straight line, at about a thirty-five degree angle to horizon, from right to left. Still no sound. I realized this was not a plane. They were not flares being dropped. Flares don’t remain stationary. Since it was dark and the lights of the parking lot were on, I couldn’t see the craft. The lights repeated this pattern at least six times. I am not sure how far away these lights were from my position, but they were low in the sky. I stopped a coworker to show him just before the display ended. He was as baffled as I was. We could hear a plane take off from the airport. It flew over us at this time. There was still no sound coming from the direction of the lights.”

At 3:40 am, “It was a row of windows going across the tube or oval shaped craft. The lights were changing color from inside the craft, coming through the windows. It hovered mostly and moved from left to right quickly. On occasion, we were looking through binoculars, me and two other people. Happened last night, 11/18/09, 3:40 am, lasted one and a half hours.”

At 11:05 am, “The shape of the craft was round; it was silver and approximately 20,000 ft. overhead. We were outside when we heard a fighter jet fly over. Thought nothing of it until it started banking and circling. At this point, we saw the UFO when the jet flew over it. It was traveling west to east, when the jet flew overhead of it. It went south a little bit and hovered, the jet circled again and it moved east to west, hovered for a couple seconds and then shot off at a 45 degree angle and disappeared. It was the middle of the day and the sky was perfectly clear with no clouds. We would never have seen this object if it weren’t for the fighter jet.”

“I was tucking my son into bed and looked out his window which overlooks the Connecticut River and mountain behind it, and saw two bright white lights that were alternating. They were spaced about 6” apart, from my point of view. It seemed like they started to move very slowly towards the mountain. As it got further away, the two lights went out of sight, or just turned off the lights.”

It was around 5:00 pm when my friend says, ‘Hey, what’s that?’ We look up and there is a very bright object streaking across the sky, just above the building (it was only one story high) in front of us. It was very bright and it had a tail that squiggled like a tadpole.”

“Traveling south on Stinson Road towards Route 25, I had just crossed over the bridge that crossed the Baker River. Traveling at about 25 mph, the sky was dark, except for the sliver of moon that night, which was directly in front of me. I noticed, to the west, a light traveling towards the east. It was much larger than a planet, star or satellite. It was about the size of my thumbnail at arms length. The light was bright and non-diffuse. At first, I thought it must be a plane or other craft, but it was too low. It was descending at about a 20 degree angle. I could just make out the horizon of the nearby mountains. The light was just above that line. Then, before it could reach that line, it simply blinked out. I saw no trail/tail to the light. I could hear no sound. But, I was in the vehicle, so it is unlikely I would have heard much anyway. Based on its angle of descent, it seemed to be landing. There is no landing area in that direction. The airport is miles in the opposite direction.”

Between 6:00 and 7:00 pm, “I-91 runs roughly north and south along the Connecticut River between Vermont and New Hampshire. Rt. 113 runs west over I-91, at about Exit 14…perfectly clear night. Lots of stars. Great unseasonably warm weather – not even a light jacket! First, driving N on 91 between Exits 13 and 14; behind the trees, a low line of lights. I think, ‘towers, no not towers. Plane. No, too low and not moving fast enough. Huh.’ I am listening to the kids and watching these lights, trying to figure out what is causing them…then it disappears. Totally gone…drove along thinking about this and the road turns a bit and there they are again. A perfect line of lights just appears again. This time in full view over the highway. Three to four cars had pulled over to watch. It was four white lights in a line, perfect equidistance from each other, traveling slowly and close to us. The last light (right side-goes off-gone. The first, farthest left light-shoots out a light to the left, which stops, equidistance from the other ones) keeping the perfect formation. Then, another-farthest right light-disappears. Just gone. The farthest left light shoots another light out to the left creating the same line of a perfect four lights, all equidistance from each other, all moving slowly to the left-west.”

While this was happening, could see something being projected from the light source. It would fade to black. Could see the shape dimly in the sky. Following the same pattern of lights and projections. Illuminations would last three to five seconds I each location. There was no sound at all. After the third time, heard a jet in the sky. The object kept moving overhead, over the town. Did this four times and then was out of range. The color of the lights were a bright gold. As soon as we heard the jet, the object took off quickly. That is when we saw the last glowing.”

To my astonishment, I look up and see six lights moving in a row from left to right. So I yell to my boyfriend to come outside, that my roommate and I thought we might have seen a UFO. He grabs the video camera but it appears dead. But he makes it to see the lights go from right to left, disappear for a moment, and then touch down/up and disappear. Then my roommate steps back in the house, leaving my boyfriend and me outside. About two minutes later we hear a cat screaming in the woods. That is when I ran back inside. It must have also killed our video camera ‘cause it was charging all day and when my boyfriend tried to use it to capture the phenomenon, it was dead. And our TV antenna was frozen for a couple minutes. The object was seen for four minutes.”

At 5:55 pm, “While standing outside in my backyard in Laconia, I was looking out over Lake Winnisquam, past the lake, to the wooded hills of Sanbornton in the horizon. There were the usual bright stars and airplanes. I noticed a bright red light twinkling and it looked like there were other red lights but smaller. I thought it odd that three planes were so close together so I grabbed the binoculars for a better look. There were three red lights, all moving to the left in my vision, looking southeast. Two were moving at the same speed, but the third and brightest, bigger red light was moving much faster than the other two. It out-distanced the smaller two lights, and then moved in an arc, ascending quickly. It continued in the arc as if making the letter C . It had reversed direction and kept heading north. The other two kept going southeast. I focused back on the larger object; it was moving fast and still ascending, then the light was gone, as if it shut off the light. I refocused to find the other two but couldn’t see them. Shortly after, there was a flurry of plane activity. Most of them looked like what usually fly into the local airport. But, around 8:00 pm I noticed two military jets flying very close together, in tandem. They made a pass over the lake, circled around, and then headed southeast.”

“I was driving at the eastern edge of Francestown, NH in a westerly direction on Dec. 12, 2009 and observed at approximately 6:05pm, a green spherical object descend at some distance away towards the earth’s surface. It was dark out with high overcast, but the visibility was very clear to the cloud cover. The object was observed for about 3-5 seconds. I observed it travel from the top of the passenger-side front windshield, to the left on a downward trajectory following a straight line towards the earth’s surface at approximately a 30 degree angle. This suggested a generally northerly to a southerly direction of travel. It took the stated short amount of time for it to go behind the tree line. My windows were rolled up during the sighting. There was no sound during its flight and no sound of any crash…the object appeared perfectly spherical and about the size of a green pea or to a chick pea held at arms length…it was clearly below and in front of the cloud cover. The object was a luminous green colored sphere with the edges sharply delineated. The object’s center appeared slightly less luminous and less green looking. It traveled faster than would an airplane and at a far steeper angle than would an airplane heading toward a landing on the ground…this object was totally different than the multiple lights of commercial airplanes. It appeared significantly larger, moved faster and dove steeper than any aircraft.”
