Large groups of white lights seen moving above the clouds At 6:30 pm I was standing in my driveway saying goodbye to a friend when I noticed a group of seven white star-like lights moving quickly overhead above the clouds. I pointed to them to show my friend, then we noticed there were other groups of lights spread out in the sky above, all traveling at the same speed and in the same direction, NW to SE. I got my husband and another friend to come out and see them.

There were so many that we all pointed to different areas of the sky as another moving group became visible between the clouds above. To make sure it wasn't an optical illusion because the clouds were going in the opposite direction, we used electric and telephone wires above us, to focus on and watch the lights quickly cross behind the wires. We watched for almost five minutes until there were no more moving lights and all that remained were the stars in their stationary positions.

We were not able to get an accurate count, but there may have been as many as fifty or more. There may have been others that had passed overhead before I noticed them. Coordinates: 43.

Brilliant white and blue fireball over Jaffrey , NH at 1:25am I work 3rd shift, and while I was on break, about 1:25am , I went to get a cup of coffee. I was traveling west on RT.124 in Jaffrey NH, when I saw the reflection of a bright light off the hood of my car.

I immediatly looked up to see a bright white and blue fireball, traveling from south to north. Basicly crossing over the road i was on. Nobody else was on break at the time, so i cant say wether any one else saw it.

It lasted mabee 10 seconds and looked as if it were burning up. It had a trail or tail at the time i saw it but everything disapeered at the same time. It had a bright white center with blue at the edges and very large.

one UFO spotted in the skys over Dover NH, making amazing turns with its bright pinkish/red lights I was outside on my back porch smoking a cig, and then I happend to look up and there was this craft to my south about 2 miles away (guess) and I thought it was weird because it was glowing Pinkish/red and then it started to head my way. After this happend I was so confused because I didnt know what it was and then I got my mother and my sister to come outside and check out the sitiuation. We were amazed at the speed and the flight pattterns of this craft.

It made a 90 degree turn out of the blue and then came over our house this is where we got the best view of it. The UFO was triangler shap with lights on each end of it, it made no noise. We live near an old Airforce base PEASE so we thought it might be a expermental plane but it then was gowing around in circler motion and then making impossible turns and then went back towards pease about 2 miles from out house and then it came back to our house, and flew over.

All of a sudden we all heard noise and it was two jets taking off from pease loud like military after they take off they looked like it was persuing it. The craft then flew back from pease and towards our house and then made another amazing turn and then disapeered. I'm very confused on what happend and to scared to call PEASE and ask them what it was because I dont think they will tell my the truth or tell me i didnt see what I saw.

I didnt get any pictures or video footage none aviable at the time.

Hampton, NH

Full Report Text:

Driving North on 95 from Boston at the Hampton toll plaza we noticed a very bright flashing light off to the straight and to the left side of the highway (traveling it would be n-nw). It was much brighter than the other overhead passing aircraft and radio towers that could be seen at the same time. The large light was approx.

a half mile up and blinking in a steady on-off pattern (just like turning a light bulb on and off). As we kept traveling North we could see that we were starting to see the other "side" of it since the light light was facing the road but were were passing it on the with it to our left. As we passed we could see a very large couple of red lights on lower and right of the other.

The lower right one was also blinking. As we moved along we could see the light(s) were still just hovering and could make out all of them together. It seemed like it was a shape (possibly triangular) but the lights were too bright to say we saw what they were attached to.

We lost sight of it due to trees and distance as we traveled. It looked as though other cars were watching it and slowing down since there was heavy traffic volume that evening heading North on 95. No sound heard - warm night with windows/sunfroof open.

southwest New Hampshire, pulsing multi-colored light, stationary then moving to high speed I was sitting in my easy chair watching Tv. Through the window to my left I noticed a bright red flashing light, stationary in the western sky. I expected it to move, but it didn't.

As I watched it for a minute or so the red light changed from a single red light to a somewhat circular array of less intense lights that did not flash. I could now see red, white and blue-green colored lights. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me so I got up and went outside with binoculars.

As I watched it would alternate between the two light paterns. After about a minute it started to move toward the east. It moved slowly at first and rapidly gained speed as it passed overhead and went out of sight to the east.

It was a very quiet night with no wind and we did not hear a sound. It accelerated to a speed faster than a jet plane. A moment after we lost sight of it,(my wife was standing beside me watching this also, we saw what looked like a very bright meteor drop almost straight down, about 5 degrees to the left of where we had last seen the odd lights which had passed out of our view behind trees.

The meteor was bright yellow and lasted only a second. It may have had nothing to do with the lights we were watching. Most of the sky was very clear and full of stars.

There were some clouds low in the sky to the west. We could not see the actual shape of the object, only the lights. We saw the lights against a clear sky, not through clouds.

Whatever it was it appeared to be quite high in the sky. I would guess between 25000 & 45000 feet. My wife and I are both retired.

We live on a mountain top at the end of a dead end road, about a mile from any neighbors.

Bright headlights, pulsating objecting moving in rapid multiple directions. As witnessed by myself and two friends. While enjoying a vacation in the White Mountains we were standing outside on a deck watching a meteor shower.

Then something strange occured from the West there was what appeared to be a plane flying by. I noticed that it's headlights were on so I assumed it was getting ready to land. Then the "headlights" turned directly at us.

They shined at us briefly, 3 seconds, and then the object continued on its path. This is where it got very strange the object stopped in mid air and then changed directions. There was no delay it stopped in it's tracks and began heading the opposite direction.

The object began moving in a somewhat zig-zag fashion across the sky. It would head North, then South, then West almost as if it was climbing stairs. It then vanished.

There was no noise. When the headlights were not facing us it appeared to pulsate. I have always been opened to the possiblity of UFO's I no longer have any doubts.

We told a couple of other people however they laughed.their loss I guess.

Exeter, NH

Full Report Text:

Black object of indeterminate, constantly shifting shape seen passing over Exeter, NH. The object approached from the west, and maintained a steady trajectory towards the east, curving gently towards the south as it passed. At first it appeared to be an airplane, but it never resolved into any singular airplane shape.

Sometimes it appeared to be a biplane flying in an extreme crab, sometimes it looked like a star. From first sighting, its shape was constantly moving, in a rotational manner, with a period of approximately 12 seconds. At its closest approach, it appeared that there were many (c.

20) discrete shapes rotating around the center. It maintained an overall spherical aspect at all times, and the rate of internal motion never changed. One observer saw the rotation as around a perpendicular axis.

It seemed that the front of the object shifted its shape less, while the rear (as it travelled) seemed at times to be anemone-like, though with slower motion. The object remained black, never showing any other colors, nor reflecting any light, though it didn't seem to pass into any sunlight. As it passed, both of us saw what appeared to be a halo around the object, perfectly circular, about a third of the object's diameter further out from its center.

The halo appeared as an indistinct lighter ring, with a slightly darker ring around it. One observer felt it was a lens-like effect. Its apparent speed was comperable to a light airplane, and its apparent altitude was also comperable to where a light airplane would fly, as it remained beneath all clouds.

A rain storm had recently passed, and the cloud deck was moderately high - not low, but not as high as airliners travel. One of us grew up around airplanes, and has been obsessed with them in varying degrees for his whole life. He is a musician, and has a strong background in the sciences.

The other observer was raised in a very socratic household, where everything is open to question, but where the simplest answer must prevail.

4 lighted white orbs traveling in a cloud and moving towards center and then quickly out towards the edges of the cloud and then back t Was traveling west on Route 104, approaching Bobby's Girl Diner, when I noticed 4 lighted orbs moving within a cloud. The 4 objects would gather at the center of the cloud and then disperse very quickly to the edges, each one moving in a different direction and appearing to move in a circle until reuniting back at the center of the cloud. The entire process too about 10 seconds, continually moving out from and than back to center.

I parked the car and watched the event for about 20 minutes. They moved within the cloud and with the cloud. They did not travel in a straight line from the center, more of a haphazard movement.

It was the strangest thing I've ever seen.

Full Report Text:

Orb-like object around 7:35 pm EST. 2 witnesses. around my home.

My boyfriend and I live in this small Village about 20 minutes from concord. He just had finished walking me home and was going down my driveway looking up. I waved over at the door and went back inside.

then the lights flickered and the ground shook for a few seconds then my cell phone rang. It was my boyfriend yelling excitedly into the phone, claiming that he saw a UFO. I told him to calm down and please tell me the truth (since I believe in such phonomia) there was one orb like thing and the color of that was bright yellow while the path it left was changing colors from yellow to red to blue then faded.

we heard no noise except for the ground shaking at my house. it followed an arc like pattern for three seconds before it went past some trees going North by Northwest. the size was about a quarter size smaller than a full moon, the sky was clear and there were some trees behind my house, but none in the parking lot where you could clearly see it.

After he ran home and told his parents and friends (who dont believe) he sat and beat himself up over it but he does truly believe that he did see something and I believe him too. ps- we both had tension and painful burning sensations in our heads and stomachs but that could have been from excitment as well.
