Full Report Text:
Circular green craft traveling in a repeated tight circle above cloudline. It is cloudy right now, but above the cloudline, there was a green craft circling an area the size of a dinner plate as seen on the groud. I tried to get a video but it was dark, and the area of the sky it appeared in remains lighter than the rest of the sky.
I'm not sure how long it was circling, my cousin and I observed it for about 7 minutes from my back porch. We came outside once my dogs started freaking out. I temporarily lost cell reception.
It is stopped for awhile, but it is now continuing, though it is fainter now.
Full Report Text:
Huge airplane shaped craft silently hovering very low and moving very slowly above highway. I was driving north on Route 93, and I saw a very low-flying, enormous structure that looked like an airplane, Except it was hovering low and moving very slow and it was totally silent. It couldn't have been more then several hundred feet high and it was going about 10 mph, so there is no way it could have been an airplane.
The ship was probably 50-100 feet wide. I saw the same type of UFO flying higher, very slowly, over Peterborough, New Hampshire, two days ago, also at about 9 PM. One other witness saw that craft with me.
((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Triangle ufo over Manchester/Hooksett Triangle shaped ufo over Manchester/Hooksett area. It started as one light that did not flash, but would occasionally zoom in and out in brightness. As it slowly progressed across the sky rising above the tree line, a second light followed behind doing the same.
The lights were both white. As it got a little higher a third light took up the rear. This light was a bright red light and the three together held a perfectly formed triangle shape.
We watched it float through the sky without altering its formation at all. It was hard to tell how high up it was, but it was definitely a very large craft. We watched it for about a minute and a half before it floated behind a building.

Orbs,Orbs, and more Orbs It was around 12:15am and 12:30am of 7/7/13 when I received a call from my neighbor. I answered his call only to be told to rush outside with my camera to the park that was located directly out front my building. My camera battery was dead and I knew it so I immediately put on my shoes and just ran out the door.
As I approached him he was standing at the furthest point of our small park looking towards the west at the horizon just over the tree's. I asked him what it was he was seeing and he preceded to point and say look just over the tree's. Then I saw it, an entire fleet of orbs some red and some white.
Some were in formations of two side by side really close and others were flying around slowly like dust would in the glare of the light coming through a window. I saw about 15 to 20 orbs all coming from the west just over the tree line and then proceeding to head towards the south direction. There was NO SOUND, they were far away though but you would think! that many planes all together would give off some sort of sound eventually.
My neighbor was taking photos but I have not talked to him yet since the incident but at the time he said they weren't all showing up on his lcd screen but I will find out soon if there is valuable data. I was telling my neighbor how crazy and awesome it was and he preceded to tell me that before I came out their were hundreds more of them. He actually said that if he placed his hand in front of him he wouldn't have blocked them out of view.
The sky was faintly cloudy but I could still see stars from behind the thin cloud blanket. All the orbs would get to a certain spot in the sky and suddenly just disappear. Then about a minute or two after they all had gone and it seemed as if no more were going to show up, I turned around and looked at the sky just trying to look every where at that point and I saw a very wide but faint light going around in a circle in a clock wise direction against the clouds.
I told my neighbor while he was on the phone with his wife and he got off the phone walked over to me and saw it as well but it seemed like it could have been a spot light coming from somewhere in Manchester so we just decided to ignored it and it eventually stopped. I don't know who or what was flying last night but we do have a Airport close by. But if it was military why would they fly in the hundreds risking freaking everyone in Manchester out.
Too many questions would be asked but that’s my opinion. I will admit I have seen plenty of weird things in the skies and I have actually gotten used to it but when my neighbor whom always makes fun of me for admitting to being a believer calls me freaked out and sees it for himself it is a great feeling. I have learned to not get too far ahead of myself and I understand there is many things these could have been but I have ruled out Meteors, Lanterns and balloons.
I'm just curious as to now who else had seen them because it has to be impossible that these went unseen by anyone else. These orbs were floating around for a good five minutes or more. They were over the highway and plenty of residential areas.
I want to also find out what was flying in Manchester, N.H., for planes at the time of this event.
Does the city know? But as usual this will be just another pawned off sighting. I'm going to do my best to figure this all out.

Light in the sky going in circles I live in Manchester New Hampshire and i was looking the sky two days ago looking the meteor shower (Eta Aquarids) and suddenly a light appear in the sky with traveling from north-west to south-east and for a second i thought it was a plane because it was just a light then the light just stop and begging to make circles. from left to right then stop. left to right then stop.
right to left stop. a big circle then go to the original position and stop i last for at least 8 minuts. then i get in to my house to look for a better camera cuz my phone didnt catch it cuz it was a tiny light (maybe it was in a very high altitude)and when i came out it wasnt there.
