a giant triangular rectangle thing with blue red and green lights that hovered above our house and then went down into the woods It had jagged edges and the lights were red, blue, and green. It kind of hovered going down on a slant and then turned around and started going down into the woods. My brother friends and I ran inside and got my Mom to show her.

When she came out the lights were going down into the woods and you can see the lights through the trees and then vanished but she didn't see them. The ship was black and shaped like a triangle rectangular thing. The people it saw them was 4 boys one was 8 and three of them was 10.

((NUFORC Note: We will invite the mother to submit a report, as well, in order to supplement this report. PD)).

Saw two cigar-shaped objects flying low in Danbury, NH. I was sitting in our outdoor hot tub, and saw two cigar-shaped objects moving quickly above the tree line. They were close together and both where lit up with white light and a orange circle in the middle.

They also where silent. This happened a long time ago and I'm not sure on the exact date. I just want to make a report in case someone else has seen similar objects.

Satellite pulsing with color? The object looked an appeared to be at a similar distance as a star. However, it pulsed with light and color (white, red, and blue). It looked similar to the running lights of a plane but it was too far away and it was hovering.

After hours of observation, we realized it was moving very slowly, as if orbiting the Earth. When a friend arrived with binoculars, in spite of shakiness, we learned it was geometric in design. One description was of four triangles pointed outward with different pulses of light.

Another description compared it to a Rubic's cubic rotating back and forth, the different squares puling with light. ((NUFORC Note: Probably a twinkling star. PD)).

Two Bright Lights Hovered over Power Lines On Tuesday, September 27, 2005, at approximately 20:35 EDT, I observed, along with my wife and two neighbors, what appeared as very bright lights approximately 1/2 to 3/4 miles away. They rose from behind a hill across the lake on which I live, along a set of power company transmission lines and stopped just above a set of power lines. Using 10x50 binoculars, we could clearly see two bright, distinct lights, at least as bright as what might be found at outdoor stadiums.

The lights lit my home and trees brighter than any moon ever has. I am a consultant to the Department of Defense, an aviation buff and the son of an airline pilot; this was no standard aircraft. Using the notch cut into the hill for the power lines as reference, I would estimate the distance between the two lights at anywhere from 100 to 125 feet.

The lights hovered over the power lines and remained silent and motionless for nearly 23 minutes. I contacted the local police, but they were unaware of any activity in the area. I contacted the local power company, but they relayed that they had no service or repair crews in the area.

At approximately 20:58, while observing through the binoculars, the lights began to move slightly towards the left (my left) and then appeard to turn slightly on their own axis to their own right, as the distance between the lights began to close and the light on my left dimmed a little. After 30 seconds or so, the lights appeared again to turn on their own axis, this time back to their left, re-establishing the original distance between them. Then both lights slowly (5 seconds) dimmed until they went out.

((NUFORC Note: We spoke at length via telephone with the witness, and we deem him to be an exceptionally qualified observer. He provided several photographs of the area where the object was observed, and provided a witness graphic of what the two lights looked like to him through binoculars, which were mounted on a tripod. The witness has contacted the FAA, the local police, and the airport at Manchester, NH, to inquire whether anyone else may have reported the same phenomenon, and is awaiting return telephone calls from all those institutions.

Orange V-Pattern Lights Viewed in Mountains of Northern New Hampshire On this evening, I was with my friends up on a mountain. There is a dirt road up the mountain that leads to a clearing where our cars were parked. From here we walk a short distance up a rock formation to a ledge that overlooks the town.

We called this place "the ledges." We visited the spot almost daily: It was a great spot to have a campfire and there was a wonderful view of the town below. I also enjoyed stargazing up here, as it has always been a hobby of mine, and this is the perfect location.

The night before I saw the UFOs, my friends told me that they saw something weird by another nearby mountain as they were going for a ride. The whole area is full of hills and mountains, the town is located in a mountain valley. They told me they saw something strange looking up at the top of a mountain nearby, but only for a second.

They really didn't make much of it. The next night we drove up this dirt path and went up to the ledges to try to get a good vantage point if this thing appeared again. We were really only up there because we had nothing better to do.

There were 7 or 8 of us, like usual. We stayed up there until the sun started to set, then decided to head back down. My cousin was in front of me driving, his car full.

Mine was also full. I was on the phone with him, asking him what he wanted to do when we got back to town. I was going fairly quickly down the road, and then had to slam on my brakes.

On the line, my cousin made some kind of noise of shock. He had stopped right there, at a small clearing created by a fork in the road. My cousin got out in a frenzy and started looking up toward the sky.

The other occupants of his vehicle didn't seem to know what was going on, until they looked where he was looking. They all had a frightened look on their face, and had stopped their laughing. Everybody in my car got out too and looked up at the sky.

When we looked up, we all saw the same thing. The sky wasn't dark yet. Up and to the west we saw a bright orange light.

As we were looking at it, we saw two more of these lights come into focus equidistant from the center one, forming a triangle. They glimmered when they first came into focus, then were solid. Shortly after that, two more of these lights showed up even further out to the sides, forming a larger triangle.

All of these lights appeared out of nowhere, there seemed to be nothing at all there, and then something. There was no visible solid mass that connected these glowing lights. They appeared to be separate entities.

They were not moving at all it seemed. If they were, it was quite slowly. We were all pretty scared at this point, and all pretty curious.

We drove back up to the ledges, hoping to get a better vantage point. By the time we got back up there, the orange lights had vanished, and it was completely dark. We decided to just lounge around a bit and I did some stargazing.

I focused my eyes on what looked like a normal satellite, until it did a quick loop, changed direction, and started moving opposite how it had been. I called the other guys over and they saw it too. There were two of them, moving randomly, silently, and quite quickly.

They were covering a distance of approximately 60 miles in 30 to 35 seconds. (This estimate of 60 miles is based on the distance between mountains they were traveling between.) The only noise we could hear was the sound of eighteen-wheelers down in town.

At one point, these two specks were travelling the same direction, and between them was an orange glow like we had seen before. It lasted only a second or two, and resembled a flare. We watched the two dots move around for a while then decided to go home and go to bed.

The next night, we went back to try our luck at seeing them again. We saw the same satellite-looking specks arrive from the north. They only stayed for fifteen minutes or so, then were gone.

We were all very curious about what we had seen, and discovered that the mountain to the east of the ledges is private government land. There was a suggestion that it could have been a jet that was being tested. It could be, but it was unlike anything I've ever heard of before.

The orange lights coming out of nowhere was hard to be explained, as well as the silent flight and incredible quickness and agility of the craft. This still remains a mystery to me. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate.

9/22/05 -Red lights (5-8) stationery changing to small white with roar A roaring sound from all directions prompted us to look out on a moonless night. We saw 5-8 red lights maybe 1/2 to 2 miles away in the sky at about an angle of 35 degrees. The lights were stationary and then some moved and one rose up a bit to make us wonder if it was somekind of fireworks.

Then they seemed to change to white lights, smaller, and more of them - the white lights moving and changing position. They then disappeared. The noise slowly ended.

About fifteen minutes later white lights could again be seen. The noise resumed at a lower volume and then two white lights moved from west to east and then back east to west at a constant speed and seperation between the lights finally disappearing to the west as the volume faded.

A friend and I went to the observatory ontop of Steele Hill Inn. We could see in every direction for miles and observed the usual planes. At 9:45 PM we saw a UFO hovering above the trees in Sanbornton.

We were able to look straight ahead, parallel, and see the oscillating red, green and white lights as it hovered, moving a little, stopping, moving a little more, stopping. We watched for 4 minutes until it moved out of sight behind some trees. At 10:10 PM we noticed a bright orange light hovering over Belmont trees, then disappeared.

After about 5 minutes it reappeared, had erratic movement, changed direction and slowly went towards Laconia, changed direction towards Belmont, then back to Laconia going out over Lake Winnipesaukee, then kept going until out of sight.

Bright flashing light slowly moving over tree tops and lake At 8:30 PM my friend called to say that from her house in Tilton she saw a blinking white light slowly moving over the tree tops. I live 9 miles away in Laconia and was able to locate the flashing light as it was slowly moving over Lake Winnisquam towards Meredith. It flashed so brightly it looked like a strobe light reflecting a huge area on the lake.

At the same time a small plane was over another section of lake, at the same altitude, and its lights did not cast a reflection on the water. The flashing light was moving slower than the plane and was observed for 5 minutes until it went out of view.

PD)) 2 craft were flying around vally and appeared to be fighting with orange light balls at close range Two Small craft were moving to the south towards Mt. Washington at a speed faster than mach 1, I heard a sonic boom. Bolth craft met about 1 mile in front of Mt.

Washington. We were north by the Manson mines. Bolth craft seemed to be battleing shooting large about 300ft.

very bright orange lights at each other in sets of three, four times in 40 minuets. Each craft circled the valley 3 times each time in about 2 minuets each time. There was also a very bright light on Mt.

Washington that was descending the mountin that started just below tree line. It descended about 1000 ft.

A bright light to the northern sky, then goes dim as it leaves. At approx. 7:30 EST, I was watching an airplane coming from the east going west.

The plane crossed over and could not be seen because of trees. My wife was standing a few feet away leaning against the truck as I was looking up into the northern sky. I seen a real bright light and I said,"What the hell", my wife looked up to where I was looking and asked what is that as the light got dim.

I said I don't know what that was, but it was no plane as it was way to far away. It looked as if it was a plane coming down at a 90 degree angle with it's headlight on. The light was bright, then went dim as it dissapeared to the sky.

I thought it could have maybe been an after burner from a Stealth plane, but I do believe it was way way to high to be one. It looked as if it was heading towards a star in the northern sky. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

We wonder whether he might have witnessed the flare from an Iridium satellite, although none are listed for this date. The only Iridium flare visible on this date was at 05:09::18 hrs. (local), as reported by www.

Disk seen hiding in cloud hovering over city At 3:00 on a sunny afternoon I was driving my car up Pine St. hill. The view in my windshield showed a small wispy cloud, within the mist I saw the edge of a Disk for about 3 seconds, it disappeared when it changed the angle of flying and the reflection off the shiny sides could no longer be seen.

It's angle was / , at about 1000 feet up. I got home within 5 minutes, got binoculars and scanned the area of the cloud formation. At 3:10 the disk was in the same area, and could only be seen when the sun shined off it, about 3 seconds each time.

There were 3 quick flashes as it moved and became invisible once again.

3 white craft in triangle formation, 1 red craft shot out a white light At 8:15 PM I saw 3 white blinking lights in a triangular pattern fly at about 1,000 ft. altitude over Lake Winnisquam. They came from Meredith, down the length of the lake over Laconia, almost over my head, and continued over Belmont headed south.

There was no noise and they were closely grouped together. I watched for 5 minutes. As they were going out of view through the binoculars I noticed a 4th object, a red blinking light over the horizon of Sanbornton.

In the course of one minute, the red blinking object mostly hovered above the tree tops, then shot off a white star-like object that left a white trail as it took 2 seconds to go down in the woods. Then the red blinking light went lower than the horizon, out of my view. Before the 3 white lights, I had not seen any airplanes.

After they went by, there were suddenly 4 planes headed that way. One plane kept circling over the area the flash went down, then headed south. At 9:15 PM an orange glowing light could be seen flying slowly just above the tree line where the white flash went down into the trees, then it also went below the tree line.

disk seen hovering beneath a cloud I first noticed 2 small parallel white lines, vertical, just beneath a cloud, hovering over Laconia. For 20 seconds I watched what I thought looked like the back end of a plane, but as I watched it, it moved and appeared to change shape. Then clearly seen was a large silver-white disk, for about 15 seconds, then just disappeared without moving.

I believe it was still hovering but became invisible because the cloud next to it was being blown by the winds, decreasing the reflection ability.

triangle over Camp Spaulding When I picked my grandson up after 2 weeks at Camp Spaulding he had an interesting story of a sighting. "It was after 11:00 PM, and from inside the cabin, when all the lights were out and some kids were asleep, I saw something through the window and got up. I went outside alone for a minute, then went inside to get a counselor.

A counselor and another camper came out and watched it with me for about 10 minutes. A triangle hovered above trees, went back and forth, went down a little bit, then went back up, and three corner lights were flashing red, blue, white. There were little blue lights around the outline of the triangle, like Christmas lights, but the kind in a tube.

It didn't make any noise. It turned on its beam from underneath. It didn't shine all the way to the ground at first.

It would shut off and turn on quickly and shine closer to the ground, the beam was slowly dropping down. When the light was off it just looked like a black hole in the middle. The beam stayed on a long time, almost the whole 10 minutes.

It was over the woods, maybe over the river. There was something the beam was shining on, like a star, it didn't move, it didn't go up in the beam, it just shined on it. Then the beam shut off and the triangle shot right up into the air faster than a bullet and was gone.

" I checked with the counselor before we left for home, he confirmed the sighting.

Huge formation of blinking lights over lake At 9:15 PM I spotted 2-3 blinking lights slowly fly over Lake Winnisquam, from Belmont, about 1,000 ft. up, headed north. As they came towards me, the crafts picked up speed and more lights were visible, it was hard to count them because they flashed quickly, not in unison, 8 or 10 lights, they made no noise.

I called my husband and 2 friends that were out night fishing. The 3 were in an area where they were better able to see the lights and get good descriptions of the crafts. One witness described, "I saw 5 moving simultaneously objects that all maintained perfect formation.

They moved so quickly I knew they weren't aircraft. The V formation had 8 or 9 lights and used up a huge area of the sky. Each ship had an intense orange light shooting up into the sky.

When the orange light was on, there was no blinking white light. The flight pattern would change, like geese flying in formation, when the first in line backs off to let another move up to the front. We could see the lights for at least 5 minutes.

" The 2nd witness stated, "There were lines in the light when it flashed, directed up, I could see the outlines of many ships and counted 8, but couldn't keep track of them. Two would flash, then more would come, they would turn their orange lights on. I saw them from one side of the lake to the other.

" He was able to see underneath the craft and made a sketch of it. A view of the bottom shows a square craft with one large light off-set to one corner. The 3rd witness said, "I saw beams of light shine up, down, at each other.

There were quite a few. I've seen UFO's from a distance and was still skeptical, but this, there's no doubt." The 3 fishermen were quite spooked, packed up quickly, started the boat, and got back to the dock right away.

The lights were last seen going out of view towards Meredith. Note: The 3 had seen many "shooting stars", probably a dozen, earlier in the evening. They had marveled at seeing so many.

This observation goes along with a theory of how the UFO's zip through the atmosphere so fast, entering and leaving, they look like shooting stars. They are usually seen around the big dipper.

2 bright lights moving erratically in sky and blinking. First off, I dont know if/think this was an 'alien' ship - but I couldnt figure out WHAT it was, even using binoculars. So I am interested in knowing if anyone else reported seeing anything at the same time/night or if you know of any monitoring equipment that was flying around over NH that night.

I took my dog outside at around 1:30 am and was sitting on my porch and noticed a relatively large, bright light in the sky. I started staring at it and then noticed that it was moving around randomly in the sky almost like it was being blown by a light wind or something. It was visable above the treeline and looked like an extremely large/bright star, but then I noticed the strange movement.

I used binoculars and did not see it much more clearly so I imagine it was quite high in the sky, but realized it definitely had lights on it of some sort - and they were bright enough that it was throwing light around it like a halo. From MY PERSPECTIVE, way away from it, when moving it was only covering a patch of sky about 3 inches X 2 inches. It kept moving around in that general area.

I also noticed a few times that a short distance from it there were flashing lights, coming off from about 2:00 and 9:00 and 5:00 if the object was in the middle of a clock-face. I then noticed a second one to the right but farther away as the light was much smaller and dimmer, but I could still see it was moving around also. I thought maybe it was a satellite, but then realized that the movement was not right and it was not tracking across the sky on any sort of trajectory.

I also thought maybe it was a weather monitoring device, but didnt understand why it was covered in lights. I studied it with binoculars for about 1/2 hr and couldnt get any clearer picture of it. I looked for it in the morning but could not see anything in the sky so imagine it was either gone or far enough up to not be visible by day.

6 disks look like white lines in sky I looked out over Lake Winnisquam at 6:30 PM and saw a white line against the blue of the afternoon sky. It held its straight-line features and didn't disolve like a cloud or chem trail would. It hovered at an angle then slowly went down below the trees in Sanbornton.

We were able to count 4 more appear and slowly go down the same way. A 6th white line came UP from the trees in a different area and slowly took off going up. Through binoculars we could see soft blinking white lights on the tops and underneath these crafts.

I think the reason we could see them was the setting sun causing light to reflect on them, when normally they can't be seen during the day.

While sky watching on a hill in Tilton, at 10:30 PM we saw 4 or 5 white blinking lights flying very close together. Each light appeared to move up, down, sideways, independant of the others tight manuevers, but as a group moved slowly across the horizon out of view.
