Exeter, New Hampshire UFO Sightings in 2005

Full Report Text:

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.

cigar shaped, silver craft http://www.seacoastonline.com/news/exeter/07312005/news/55555.

htm This picture is exactly what it looked like. Cigar shaped, silver, with windows through the middle section. From where I was standing it appeared approximately 6 inches long.

It was going in a diagonal path from left to right. It didn't make ANY noise. It didn't have any wings.

It didn't leave a trail. We saw it for about 4 minutes. Other accounts have the object changing color, stretching out, or having flames underneath it, but we didn't see any of that.

Gigantic Cigar My name is David Anthony Woody and I use the nickname Tony. I live in Exeter, New Hampshire. I am a retired Navy Chief with twenty-two years of service.

My job in the Navy was a lot of fun because I was an Instructor Flight Engineer on the P3 Orion and EP-3 Reconnaissance aircraft. I also gave in flight check-rides to fellow pilots and flight engineers. I have twenty-one years of flying experience and I have logged over 10,000 hours of flight time.

I also worked for Boeing in Everett Washington north of Seattle for two years as a Quality Assurance Manager leading a team of 65 people in the Systems Installation Division on the Boeing 777 Production Line. I’ve flown over the entire globe and never have I ever seen anything like I saw on the afternoon of July 20, 2005 at approximately 3:15 PM. I was outside preparing my lawnmower getting ready to mow my yard.

I had just fueled it and finished checking the oil and had finished installing the grass catcher when I took a drink from a glass of water and was looking up into the sky as I tilted the glass of water back to finish it off. That’s when I noticed this enormous silver cigar shaped object in the sky at about a 40 to 45 degree angle above the horizon. There were very few clouds in the sky and it was about 90% clear blue sky that day with excellent visibility.

Below you can see the information taken from the local Seacoast Online News Weather section for July 20, 2005 during that timeframe. Time Condition Temp DewPoint Humid. Visib.

Press. Wind 2:55PM Partly Cloudy 90°F 59°F 36% Unlimited 29.89 From WNW7mph 3:55PM Partly Cloudy 90°F 59°F 36% Unlimited 29.

88 From W9mph To put the scale of the size of this object into perspective think about this, take a Cessna airplane and park it next to a Boeing 747. Then take the 747 and place it next to this object and the 747 would look like the Cessna does beside a 747 in relation to the size of the object. Another example would be that this object was about twice the size of a modern day US Navy Nimitz Class Aircraft Carrier.

On first glance my initial thought was that it was the Hood blimp, which has been flying around in the area recently but I quickly dismissed that idea. While watching this object for about ten minutes I realized that it wasn’t making any sound at all and although I can’t be exact, I thought it was between 2500 and 3500 feet in the air. With something that large it’s hard to really tell but I remember thinking that was about right because the clouds were around 5000 feet that day and it seemed to be below the clouds.

There was also a row of large windows evenly spaced around the entire perimeter of the object a little bit higher than center on the object. I did not see anything or anyone in the windows. The object was moving from the West directly toward me heading in an Easterly direction and moving very slowly.

Again with something that large it’s hard to estimate speed with something that large but my educated guess is it was moving much slower than 100 knots. I looked around to see if any of my neighbors were outside but no one else was outside at the time but me. I also thought about running into the house to get my digital camera, but I didn’t know how long the object would be there so I was afraid I would miss seeing it the entire time it was in view and I didn’t want to risk that.

I’m glad I decided to stay because not long after I made that decision the object changed from a bright shiny silver color and started to glow a red/orange color. Then there was this strange looking cloud of orange/red flames that started growing and billowing underneath the entire bottom of the object. The billowing fiery clouds reminded me of the way napalm rolls along on the vintage war film footage of Viet Nam I’ve seen on television except that there was no smoke associated with it.

At that point I had a shot of adrenalin due to extreme fear because I thought it was going to attack me in some way. It looked as if the air itself had been suddenly ignited in a large billowing cloud of flames. Just as I was about to turn and run into the house due to fear the fiery cloud grew larger and it seemed to be pushing back toward the western end of the object and once it reached its peak (probably about half the diameter of the object) the object seemed to stretch out about twice its original size toward the eastern end of the object thus filling the entire sky in front of me and then in the wink of an eye the western end of the object caught up with the eastern end and it simply disappeared right in front of me.

This entire process only took about four or five seconds and the instant the object disappeared so did the billowing fireball cloud. There was no apparent residual evidence that the object was ever there once it disappeared. I was stunned and stood there for several minutes wondering what to do and what had I just seen.

I thought about calling the police but because no one else was there to see it with me I didn’t think they would believe me so I didn’t call. I knew I had to report it to somebody so I Googled the words report UFO and that’s how I found the web site for the National UFO Reporting Center. I didn’t notice any bright lights on the object although that doesn’t mean it didn’t have any because it was a bright sunny clear day and any lights would have been washed out by the bright sunlight and the reflected sunlight off of it’s surface.

Also the sun was high in the sky and in no way did it obscure my visibility of the object nor did any reflected sunlight from the object obscure my vision of it in any way. There were no trees or man-made structures obstructing my view. The object made no noise at all during the entire event.

This was absolutely one of the most amazing things I have ever seen in my life and I’ve seen a lot. In my opinion this was not something man made and it was far too big to be a blimp or an airplane. I believe it was not of this Earth.

Other than that I have no idea what it was, where it came from or where it went. It absolutely appeared to be under intelligent control and exhibited use of technology far beyond anything known to mankind today unless this is some kind of new top-secret government craft previously unheard of. I seriously doubt that though because it would be almost impossible to hide something from the public of this gigantic physical size if it were a secret government project.

htm 7-27-2005 UFO sighting in Exeter - again By Adam Dolge [email protected] EXETER - There was something odd in the sky last week, something that caused a Navy veteran with 10,000 hours of flight experience to have his own close encounter. The former flight engineer, who wished to be identified only as "David," said of the experience, "this was like nothing I've ever seen before.

" What the retired Navy chief petty officer said he saw last Wednesday could only be classified as a UFO, an unidentified flying object. It was a bright and sunny afternoon, about 3:15 p.m.

, and David was outside preparing his lawnmower. He had filled the mower with gas, checked the oil, and took a sip from a glass of water he had poured. When he tilted his head back to get the final sip, through the bottom of the glass he saw a large cigar-shaped object hovering in the sky.

David said windows were equally spaced around the object, however he didn't see anyone or anything inside. The size of the object was enormous. By comparison, he said, consider what an ultralight plane would look like next to a Boeing 747.

He said it was about the size of two USS Nimitz aircraft carriers. At first glance, through his empty glass of water he thought it could have been the Hood blimp. "But, the instant I put my glass down, I said, 'that's not a blimp.

'" The object moved from west to east, very slowly for something that size, he said. His initial instinct was that the object was moving at about 100 knots, but something that big shouldn't be able to stay in the air if it's going that slow, he said. The object began changing colors from a bright silver to an orange-ish red.

A strange cloud of red and orange flames began surrounding the object, and before he knew it the object stretched out like a rubber band. It grew to about twice its original size, and then it was gone. The entire incident lasted about 10 minutes, he recalled Monday morning, but he is unaware of the specific time because, "it felt like time stopped.

" He went into his house and first thought to call the police. He decided not to because he didn't think they'd take him seriously. So he went on the Internet and searched for "report UFO," and found the Web site for the Seattle-based National UFO Reporting Center.

Peter Davenport, director of the UFO reporting center, said David's report was astonishing because of his history with flight. "I have no question on his reliability." He said he gets several accounts each year, but this one stood out.

The report was well written and scientific, Davenport said. "In my view, that's one of the cardinal rules of an account," he said. The center was founded in 1974 by UFO investigator Robert Gribble.

The center's Web site, www.nuforc.org, has a large list of UFO sightings.

According to the site, the center's primary function is to receive, record, and to the greatest degree possible, corroborate and document reports from individuals who have witnessed possible UFOs. David's report, which will soon be on the Web site, will be among dozens of documented sightings to be formally reported to the center. Not the first time The Exeter area is no stranger to UFO sightings.

In 1965, two Exeter police officers and hitchhiker Norman Muscarello, who was with them, gained national attention after seeing a UFO hovering over Route 101 in Kensington. The sighting was documented in a book called "The Incident at Exeter." And then there was the incident involving Barney and Betty Hill, a husband and wife from Portsmouth who claimed to have been abducted by aliens.

The couple was driving from a vacation in Canada in 1961 when they saw a UFO. The object moved directly over their car, and before they knew it they grew drowsy. They later claimed to have been abducted by aliens and gave identical accounts while they were hypnotized.

But for this recent sighting, David said he believes that there is life beyond Earth. He said the galaxy is so enormous, it's hard to believe humans are the only intelligent life. "To the point of not being obnoxious, it'd be egocentric to think there is no other life out there.

The sound. I don't know what time it was or remember what year but I can't stop thinking about when that happened but I was sitting on my bed typing a something on my laptop around 11-3am I'm usually in my room and up. So it was some time between that.

I was feeling fine, but all of a sudden I felt weird, like an electric charge like when you rub a balloon on ur hair you can feel the static, like that but all over my body and I was lying back and wouldn't move and I was getting this massive headache but it wasn't exactly a headache, I just heard this kind of quiet sound like somethings hovering above my house then it got louder, like I didn't hear it I felt it in my head, It wasn't literally loud but it was loud to me. And I could just hear it as if I was in a little room with a radio turned on loud.It just sounded like something was hover around.

It was so weird, I wanted to look out the window but I just couldn't get up, I don't know if it was my mind that just was scared to find out what it was or if it was something else. All I could remember is that Loud sound but at the same time it was silent.I don't know how to explain it and there was a white light that'd go pass my window, I had blinds so I couldn't see out it.

This was going on for about 30-45 mins.I was thiking it was just a car but that sound couldn't possibly come from a car, I've never heard it before and what about the light, it just sounded like it was hovering around really fast then just staying in one spot. Anyways I don't really remember much or how but I ended up falling asleep.

Then likean hour later it happened again, That sound ringing in my head just woke me up this time I woke up scared, not cause the sound being loud in my head I don't know what it was, but I woke up and just sat there listening to that sound hover away.It was weeks later maybe a month I was hearing it again. Weird my dad had just got up to pee(it was night time),I told my dad about my weird headache and how it sounded like something was outside my window! , I'm su re a UFO that I've never heard before such a sound like that staying in one spot, I was telling him maybe I need to see a doctor cause that headache was just, not normal.

Then we got into some other conversation completely off subject then all of a sudden I started hearing that sound again. I interrupted my dad and told him to shh and listen, but he kept talkin and went to whispering then shut up by that time it went away. Haven't heard it since.

((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD)).
