New Hampshire UFO Sightings in 2003

Full Report Text:

The object was stationed outside our house, glowed brightly in a blue/green mix for about 5 seconds, and then vanished just as fast. It was early in the morning and my wife and I were in our house, getting ready for bed. Suddenly, outside, there was a huge flash of light, bordering on a green/blue color.

It got brighter for a few seconds, had this weird almost humming noise along with it, and then was gone just as fast as it started. I went to the window maybe 5 seconds after the light had gone out and looked all over the front yard. Nothing.

About three minutes later I grabbed my hat and coat and went outside to take a look and again.nothing. No markings, no footprints, no tire tracks, no plow truck (it was snowing at the time).

I checked across the street where the transformer is, and there were no sparks or anything like that, leading me to believe it didn't blow or something. I like to consider myself a rational person, and I've always taken anything concerning "UFO's" and "aliens" very toungue-and-cheek, and better saved for a good movie or novel. But I have absolutely no explanation for that bright glowing light and sound outside our window I can think of that would be "normal", and I've racked my brain trying to think of something that could have caused it.

and I just can't.

Saw Triangle UFO, low right above trees, with white light at each point. Did a 180° turn directly over road without slowing down. I never believed in UFOs/ETs until I saw a UFO in Portsmouth, NH, on Banfield Road (the back road parallel to Route One) in November 2003.

It was a Triangle shape with a white light at each point. I instantly thought it was probably a plane since Pease International Tradeport runway was like less than a mile away. My girlfriend at the time and I were traveling south on Banfield and saw this white or orange or orange-white bright light through trees and finally it came over the road directly above us and as it was jist about over us it INSTANTLY changed directions, doing 180 and heading back the way it came without even slowing down.

We tried to chase it around the block (up to route 3 and back around) and still could see the bright light as I called my mom. Then it was gone. I later speculated if it could be a hovering harrier aircraft but it doesn't have that light configuration and again it didn't slow down at all when it did the 180 directly over us.

We were so shaken up and freaked out. I wish I could see it again someday. [This sighting was a week or two after my girlfriend and I, in a Hampton Beach apartment, woke up naked in a fetal position on top of the covers with no memory of going to bed and my girlfriend found that her buttons were torn off her clothes (I would never ever rip her clothes no matter how drunk I was) and she had a mark in here breast of 3 dots forming a triangle.

I did not have any marks on my body nor were my clothes damaged.] ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD)).

I observed the lights for only a brief time (30-40 seconds) and dismissed them as a distance cluster of stars as they didn't move. The moon was at about 2/3 to 3/4 occluded during the eclipse and I saw a cluster of lights best described as stars of various intensity. They appeared to the Northern (left side) of the moon as I observed.

The cluster would be best described as similar to a cluster of stars as seen in an Astronomy textbook or telescopic view of a distant galaxy. I saw no movement of the mass.

8 to 12 Very bright round objects seen over Nashua, NH From Southern Nashua looking towards Tyngsborough, MA about 8 to 10 circular objects were traveling at a relatively normal speed. The craft illuminated very brightly almost as if it were a reflection. They did not seem to be burning up in the atmosphere like a re-entry, as they were travelling too slow.

There were numerous colors of the reflection/blinking, like green, red and white and each object had a glow to it and you could see each one moving when they were not blinking/shining. There was no apparent pattern to the shining, but was definately not the blinking of normal single engine plane or jet running lights or headlights. The objects travelled from a westerly to easterly direction and seemed to vanish behind clouds and did not reappear when the clouds had passed.

There was a small engine plane directly overhead at the same time and was probably landing at Nashua airport around 8:50pm EST. I could not find the number for the FAA tracking station or the airport tower both located in Nashua to see if they had seen what we did on radar. The whole thing lasted about one minute, as my wife and I had time to call my In-laws outside to view the last 15-30 seconds when the objects disappeared behind the clouds.

((NUFORC Note: We have spoken with this witness, and he sounds credible to us. We have requested that he have the other witnesses to this event submit independent reports of what it was they saw from their respective vantage reports. PD)) This information is passed on to the National UFO Reporting Center with permisstion from the observer of this event which was reported to me via e-mail shortly after the event.

The name of the observer and others have been removed, all other text remains as received. ************************************************************************************** It was Wednesday night October 8th, around 7:30 pm, when myself and a friend w#2 pulled into my driveway, driving separate vehicles. When we both got out of our trucks, we both immediately looked up to the South West sky and couldn’t believe what we were seeing.

We immediately ran towards the open fields out back to get a better look and we saw a bright light, bright as a star, moving west to east across the mountain ridgeline with what looked like two aircraft following it. The light began to move erratically and then disappeared like in a second’s time. The two aircraft, which I can’t really call them jets, continued East bound and then both turned and went up in elevation and began to head north right over us.

As me and w#2 were looking at the aircraft coming towards us, we had the most weirdest feeling that something is going on .verrry strange. The two aircraft had lights on them and the one to the right had a more common look to it.

The aircraft on the left was larger and had more lights of which many were on and different colors. They seemed to be changing position throughout the pass over. As the aircrafts came directly over us, we noticed that first of all, everything was silent and as we watched them the one on the left seemed to have a reddish glow in front of it and it was hard to stay focused on because it appeared to be changing shapes or something.

It, to me, had a mutli shape to it something like the Star Trek Enterprise. w#2 said it looked like a shape of a stingray. Just as the aircraft passed by over us at a very slow pace, we noticed that the aircraft on the right had somehow disappeared and the strange looking one on the left, began to change it’s lights and the back of it had two bright lights that began to move in towards each other and then began moving apart and moved apart enough that the shape of the craft seemed to have changed.

We were amazed that we heard absolutely nothing! Not even noises of vehicles or anything. It was very tranquil as if we were in a dream or something. At this point, 7:41 pm, I made a phone call and w#3 was alerted.

Me and w#2 then were saying to each other, “I can’t believe this just happened“. Then a moment later, the bright light appeared almost right over us, much closer this time and we held upon to each other’s shirts and watched this light, that was still for a moment, while saying over and over again, “Oh My God, Oh My God,“ The bright object then began to make a few moves and then it began to travel from West to East and simply disappeared. W#3 immediately looked outside and apparently he witnessed the one aircraft and observed that it did not look like a jet, while moments later, he witnessed the bright light travel fast from West to East.

He then came down with an instant severe head ache. Myself and w#2 did not experience any type of headache. While we were looking to the East basically at Mars and the almost full moon, we were just so numb to as what just happened and then we noticed an enormous amount of air traffic in all directions in the sky.

We both said, where did all these come from? Then a moment later, while looking back at the moon, a jet comes from the Northeast heading Southwest and left a fat lingering contrail right in the path of the moon. I immediately said, “Now, with all the strange stuff that just happened, what the heck is the reason for that?” Then at around 8pm the skies were back to normal with no air traffic. The entire event lasted maybe about 30 minutes of which me and w#2 both left of our doors to the trucks open out in the driveway and they were both dinging the whole time.

Even though it lasted almost thirty minutes, the entire time felt like no more than two minutes. This event prompted me to write about it to the Conway Daily Sun with contact numbers and email and my letter appeared in Friday’s edition. I have since received approximately 12 phone messages, 8 emails, and 3 actual phone conversations.

Apparently, we had a similar event take place the next night, on Thursday, when apparently the aircraft that was tracking this light or fireball, tried to keep up with it, from which possibly they caused two different sonic booms and many people then, thought something is very wrong. these are just some of the eyewitness’s without knowing my story One woman called me Friday morning from Effingham and said she was out for a walk and she saw what looked like a fireball or something go screaming by West to East and then moments later two jets heading in the same direction. I had reports from a man in Woonsocket village in West Ossipee about a sonic boom he heard and then another one shortly after, then as he went outside to look if he could see anything, he didn’t, but he heard jet engines for about two minutes or so.

A women in Edelweiss about a boom that “rocked her house“, she thought “this is it, were going”. She was told by her association that it was probably a sonic boom that happens occasionally here She did hear other booms about 20 minutes later but they were off in a distance. I had another man from Madison tell me that he heard just a massive explosion that shook his well built house and all was quiet with no sirens or any sign of an emergency.

He didn’t know what happened. I then had a women who was walking near the high school and said, “she saw two air craft. One had it’s normal flashing lights, and right above it, there was another something flying, had maybe two or three lights and it was maybe a little ways ahead of the plane, it was pretty strange and I wasn’t sure that I was seeing things myself.

” A man from Bartlett asked me if it was a light moving against all laws of physics? Another Bartlett man saw the light and looked away for a second or so, and it was gone. A man from Berlin had a bad dream Wed. night that his house was visited by a UFO and now he is just curious what did happen down in our neck of the woods.

He’s never had anything like that happen to him before. He’s not a reporter but he would like to know what went on. He believes that stuff like that can happen .

A women in North Conway saw the event A women from Chatham saw it, but wouldn’t tell me until I told her. Another women and four other fellow workers in North Conway who witnessed a silvery strange looking thing over the Moat Mountains. I don't know if this is what u saw but this is what my friend and I saw from The Vista in Inter vale that night and it was probably a little later then 7:30.

closer to 9:30 till maybe 10. My friend and I work in retail and we usually go to the Vista after work and talk and relax.We are there quite a bit and have seen some interesting events should I call them in the skies over Bartlett and surrounding areas.

but Wednesday night was totally different.There seem to be as we were sitting in my friends vehicle that above the mtns straight ahead of us and above was an object that "hovered" for a very long time it flashed colored lights and seemed from the distance that we were seeing it go in a track not in circles but like a square or rectangle. and it would do much like a hover-craft bob up and down but all of a sudden we saw flashes of ground light from behind the mtns or seemed to be anyway.

We must have watched that thing for a good 15 min just doing what it was doing and then it began to descend behind the mtns and it dropped quickly and then totally disappeared out range.My friend and I left quite perplexed.because we had never seen anything like that before.

not at the Vista anyway.and that leads me to another part of this.my friend and her brother watched something from her window Thursday night.

she said she saw a plane a jet and it seemed to be chasing a "light" in the sky far ahead of it.the light would appear and disappear it seemed to be going at a tremendous rate of speed.she said there were two Sonic booms that shook her house and everything in it! And she wanted to know if any one else had reported that BOOM! She lives in Madison,NH.

Please email me back I would love to know what u saw.and if she and I witnessed anything like you and yours did? I was so excited to see someone had seen something that I couldn't believe . My daughter told me that you have seen things in the sky before and if you say you did you probably did! I have no doubt in my mind of that! Have a great day and keep in touch with me please we could compare notes I am sure.

A fellow believer, Hi, I saw your letter in the paper regarding strange events in the sky Wednesday evening. Well, what my daughter and I saw was before sunset and it was in the west, northwest sky and not a cloud in the sky except for this very strange, almost looked like a crescent shaped cloud, but it was very odd looking and both my daughter and I were like, What the heck is that? It was driving us nuts. We were on our way to Hannaford's to do some shopping and when we came out it was dark and we could not find the object again.

Although, I think my daughter said she saw it. Hello, I am sending this email in response to your letter sent in to the Conway Daily Sun. Something.

odd seemed to happen last night. It was around 7:45-8:00, when we heard a large crash that shook the house. It almost seemed the window in the living room was going to fall out of place.

We had no idea what happened, so we ran to get flashlights and ran outside. Immediately we heard a plane, but it seemed closer then usual. We looked up and saw a moving light, we presumed a plane.

So we went around the property, looking for whatever happened. You'd think it wouldn't be that big of a deal normally. Except the shockwave was so sudden and intense we both seemed to have a bad feeling about it.

We didn't find anything, but a few strange occurrences happened. First of all, we live in Madison, and the most air traffic we get is 1 plane a week. Last night we heard, at least, 4 air planes in less then an hour.

One of which was like one we had never seen before. It had 2 very rapid flashing lights that flashed from the wing and belly. Also, one of my our friends also heard the same thing.

They seemed to experience the 'Shockwave' that rattled the windows, but nothing else. Finally, one of our friends that live in Conway experienced nothing, so it seems very 'centralized' to where we are. We don't think it could be an earthquake, as it felt more like an impact.

Not sure if has anything to do with your sighting, but it's too coincidental to ignore. Perhaps they are connected. If you think there IS some connection, let us know.

Thanks >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3 of us saw this light show.it was fun to watch see ya around the town.

Building shaped object w/lights moving west in mountains I Live on the side of a mountain and spend many nights outside with telescopes and binoculars gazing upward. I can see the milky way band from my porch and usually walk my dogs at night with all the lights off so I may get the best possible view of the sky. There is pretty much zero light pollution in my area so my space view is amazing.

anyway I was walking my dogs and was scanning the super clear sky as usuall when I saw a shooting star and then moments later an extremely large rectangular object appearred from the east and was heading west. I am familar with aircraft dating back to WWII and this was unlike any I have ever seen. It looked like a building on its side with many lights.

I say it looked like a building cause the lights resembled tiny windows. Kind of like a skyscraper on its side. I did hear engines (unlike jet engines) and its was moving very slow almost to slow to be flying.

I did not see any wings and there were no other craft around. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous. PD)).

strange light with reflection on water. I took this photo on a very quiet morning in September, I believe. You can clearly see a light, with a reflection in the water of Crystal Lake on the left hand side of the picture.

I did not notice it until I took a look at the developed photo. I have the negative. I feel it is worth looking into since there is the reflection.

I am sending you the picture with this report. However, the actual photo shows it much more clearly that on my computer screen. Let me know if you would like the negative.

Sincerely, ((name deleted)) ((NUFORC Note: The date is approximate. We have viewed the photograph, provided by the witness, and it shows a bright, yellow object, suspended above a cloud of mist rising off a still pond. The object is also reflected off the surface of the pond, so we suspect it is not the result of a lens flare.

We do not know what the object is, but it does not look to be larger in width than a meter, and we suspect it is not a bona fide UFO. PD)).

shiny diamond object that made a pocket in the clear blue sky and disappeared through it leaving a whisp of cloud It was a clear blue sky, no clouds except on the horizon. I was lying on my hammock when I saw the object fly straight over my head, fast, no sound from about NE to SW. The weirdest thing about it was that it opened a pocket in the clear blue sky and disappeared through it.

When the pocket closed a whisp of white cloud came out and drifted over the sky. The object was shiny and looked like it was reflecting the ground which would make it fairly close. I'm not a pilot or a meteorologist or an astronomer, so I can't estimate heights and speeds very well, except that the object was going much faster than the planes that approach the local airport and it had to be pretty low to be reflecting ground.

Also, even though it was usually a busy time at the airport, there were no other aircraft in the vicinity.

5 fireballs My husband and myself were sitting on our front porch 7/2003, the last week. It was probably about 9:30 pm or later. To the left of our porch over trees, 5 balls of light shot over the areas business and into the sky.

As a teacher, the following morning I went in and spoke to the second grade teachers who were doing a space unit. One of the instructional aides said that she also saw these lights. She also said that her mother traveling home in a town about 7 miles away also saw these same lights.

There was no sound.

Strange object seen over Londonderry, NH. While driving a client back from MHT, we both observed a rayed sphere while heading southbound on rt. 93 in NH, between exits 5 and 4.

The craft was heading east to west at about 1000 ft. and did a horizontal loop and continued off to the west towards the Merrimack river. The night sky was overcast.

Flashing neon green lights across the night sky My boyfriend and I were driving on I-93 right along the NH-MA border. It was a foggy night and all of a sudden we saw bright neon green lights (beam-like) flashing from the sky. They were linear, and went in different directions (diagonal, horizontal) and were very long (over 100 feet long) and high up in the sky (like the height of a plane).

There were about 6 total, lasting approx. 3 seconds each. ((NUFORC Note: We wonder whether the beams could have been generated by a laser-based advertising light.

Just a guess. PD)).

Saucer/octogon shaped craft landed in the woods behind the church by my house. This just happened 10 minutes ago. This is NOT a joke.

I slept out in my barn tonight. The barn has big bay windows. I was in my sleeping bag watching the stars when I saw a octogon/saucer disc shaped craft take off from the trees at the end of my woods propery line.

It took off, maybe 300-400 ft above my house and I watched it hover until i couldn't see it through the bay windows anymore. I ran outside and watched it decend into the trees behind the church across the street from my house. It made a humming noise.

I ran inside and got my parents to come out and take a look. We didn't find any trace of the craft. This is the coolest thing that ever happened to me especially since I recently did a school report on UFO's.

Spacecraft Defaces Old Man Me and my buddy Scooter were comin' back from an ice fishing trip late at night. While approaching the old man on the mountian ( I-93 south bound) at franconia notch we saw what appeard at first to be a helicopter shining a spotlite on the side of the old man. We thought there were some hikers stranded up there.

As we passed through the notch we saw a craft in the shape of a diamond firing laser beams at the rock face. For whatever reason we passed safely underneath the activity. Probably due to the hemi in my truck.

Anyways, it scared the b'jesus outa Scooter and me. Scooter said that he had seen something on the Sci -Fi channel about drone ships coming done to do the dirty work while the mother ship stays safely out of sight. This would lend credence to the majority of most sightings being that of smaller vessels.

I think Scooter is right about this because he's into all that stuff. He even has the complete X files on DVD. Anyway I thought someone should know.

Some think the face of the old man was caused by a rock slide I guess to a degree they ( scientists I guess ) are right. ((name deleted)) ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. PD)).

Two silver disks above Bristol, Grafton Co. watching the sun set. And I was watching them.

I was driving home from work when I saw in the cloudless sky a silver sliver over hills of Grafton Co. As I was getting closer to Bristol {Grafton Co.} I lost site of it behind trees.

Getting closer to where I live the sun was starting to set, As I came around the hill on rt.104 there were 2 of them . One was at an angle one way { \ } the other { / }way.

One was a little higher above the other. The orange red glow of the sun set was reflecting off the bottoms of them, as if they were watching the sun set. it was so cool.

This is only one of several siting I've had around here. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date of sighting is approximate. PD)).

I was driving home one night, thursday night and I saw a orange orb at about 9 pm. Well I took it as a planet, or maybe a star. It looked just like a star but 2 or 3 times bigger.

It did not belong there, i took astronomy and it looked "out of place" It had no movement. So i went home and took it as a planet But the next night I saw the same thing, at about the same time. I was driving by the horse farm and I stopped my car.

I was looking at it dead on and the thing disapeared right in front of me. It wasn't a cloud, just gone. Like someone just put a blanket over it.

It did not appear to "Shoot off". Sighting number 2---- 3/19/03- My brother said he came home and on oriens belt the 3 stars looked like they were dimly flashing red and blue. To the naked eye they looked lik stars keep in mind.

But he said the moved, down then up. As far as I know planets and stars dont disapear and move up. I saw the stars.

But They didn't move. But I would have sworn that they looked like they had some type of drift. Faintly moving.

One other thing. With the orang glow sighting. I saw jets fly by the same area.

3 or so of them. Mmmmm. Not planes.

JETS.

it was like a green comet with a short tail, but i knew it wasnt an airplane or a heliocopter. it was traveling faster than an air plane. hwn i first saw it, it was very visible and deep green.

the object picked up speed and then started to get duller and the tail started to get shorter. after about 5 seconds the object vanished from sight.

Blue lights seen in New Hamshire My friend and I were walking to my house to take my kids to a sleepover party. About a quarter mile away from my home when we suddenly saw 3 bright blue lights. My friend and I kept walking due to the fact we thought it was just a couple of airplanes.

They are very common in New Hamshire. About two minutes after seeing the lights they suddenly zoomed across the sky in an unearthly speed.Then we knew they were not any normal planes.
