Manchester, New Hampshire UFO Sightings in 1999

Full Report Text:

When 1st seen at 10:45pm it seemed to be a bright blue-green rectangle. Soon it seemed to become narrower but very elongated. A bright pulse of light seemed to travel its length occasionally.

It was observed for 1.5 hrs. The incident I'm about to tell you about took place last night (June 8, 1999) at approx.

10:45 PM until past 1:00 AM (June 9th). I live in Manchester, NH and was in my backyard. Last night about 10:45 I was taking a dip in the pool before going to bed & a bright light caught my eye.

When I looked up (towards the west, about 60 degrees) I saw a bright green rectangle of light behind the clouds. I watched it for a few minutes then saw other bright green streaks light run parallel to it. After about 4 minutes the rectangle lost its "width" but it was getting longer.

I ran in the house to get my wife, who came out shortly after. BUT, my son figured he'd come outside and amuse Dad. I really figured I'd either imagined it or that there would be nothing there when they came out and they'd chalk it up to senility in the old man.

As soon as we got outside all I heard was my son say "Oh my God". It was still there!!! We watched it together for over an hour! It's green light definitely "pulsed" & seemed to do a few "chase" patterns. We saw some white flashes of light come out from the side of it.

Yes, we did call channel nine, the local TV station. They said they'd love to have a look but probably couldn't get anybody to where we were. I told them to just step out of the station and look up! Her reply was that "we're pretty busy here tonight".

This was like every sci-fi alien invasion movie ever made. Two guys see it, no one believes it or checks it out. I got out the video camera but I couldn't find it or focus on it thru the view finder.

At times the light would seem long and narrow, sometimes whole, sometimes with a "dark" or unlit section in the middle. Other times it seemed wider and the light more concentrated in a rectangular shape. But it never regained the severe rectangular shape I first saw.

Another very strange thing was that it would suddenly "turn off", then on again. It was partly to mostly cloudy during this time, but it's light was definitely visible through the clouds. Just before I finally went to bed I checked out the window & it was still there, but had gone from green to blue.

Anyway, I was just really grateful that my son & wife were there to see it too. I'm trying to checkout NASA and the Nat. Weather Serv.

to see if they reported anything. There's no way we were the only ones to see this thing. If it was a hoax of some kind, it was a good one.

I've seen the Borealis before & this definitely was not it. It was west-south-west, about 60 to 70 degrees off the horizon. I did check for comets and found that the Comet Lee may have been visible (if I read this info correctly).

Anyway, I know it may sound like I'm losing it.but I know we saw something, I just don't know what. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time .

Large triangle shaped craft hovered soundlessly near Elm St I never want to see anything like this again I well understand that this event occurred four years ago. I have been hesitant to talk about it, however having discovered this website I thought it is time now to do so. I am reporting this just as I wrote in my journal that night so it isn't as though I am relying on fuzzy memories.

It was on the night of our wedding anniversary and my husband and I were driving home from my mother's house on the west side of the city. I was driving north on Canal St. then took a right(east) onto Brook St and proceeded to the intersection of Elm St.

From there I went left (north) onto Elm and it was near the Bellman's Jewelers store that my husband first noticed what looked to be a very large jet. It was pretty low and appeared to be heading toward the direction of Manchester Airport. He lost sight of it momentarily as it seemed to disappear behind the New Hampshire Insurance building.

It was so large and bright that he told me to watch as it would be flying right over our car. But as we were stopped at a red light at the intersection of Elm and the Amoskeag Bridge we both kept looking for the jet however it didn't appear. When the light changed I drove on slowly past the NH Insurance Building (it is on the corner of Elm & the Amoskeag) looking for the jet that had seemingly disappeared.

I was looking out of my side window as my husband watched from the front windshield. It was near a funeral home that I decided to pull over to the curb as a set of lights caught my eye - red and white, not blinking and distinctly shaped like a triangle. At first I thought that it was somehow attached to the roof of the building like a set of decorative lights.

But I realized that the lights were not fixed, rather they were HOVERING. And it was very large. I got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, like I had been kicked and lost my breath.

I was overwhelmed with a sense of fear, wishing I wasn't there. I screamed at my husband "It's hovering!" He leaned over to look out the front windshield and the object began to slowly move toward the south. It was so close to us, just across the street.

My husband then opened the car door and stepped out and look. I started to panic as I was afraid for him. The object made absolutely no sound and seemed to float effortlessly southeast over Elm St.

heading toward the airport.! By this time I was so frightened I only wanted to leave. I shouted for my husband to get back in the car.

When we got home we stayed up until 3 am talking about it and I had a restless sleep filled with nightmares. The above description, as I stated before, was taken from my journal. To this day I am frightened when I recall that night.

My husband had always said he would have to see something for himself before he could believe yet he cannot explain what we experienced. That it hovered soundlessly I cannot put out of my mind and I cannot come up with any sort of reasonable explanation. I hope I never see anything like that again.
