Light over Exeter, NH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Something caught my attention in the sky and I looked up and it was very cloudy so the “vessels” were above the clouds. I saw about four flashes of light that must’ve been moving over 1000 miles an hour. No blinking lights, just one fast-moving yellowish green light.

For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

On way to Toyota for inspection on my car, going on 101W to Epping. Between exit 9 and 8, saw a semi-solid white roundish balloon shaped object in the skyline. It was not translucent like a cloud, but also not perfectly solid looking. More ovalish than round…and it literally disappeared in front of my eyes. Weirdest thing ever. Given tonight's news I felt I should report.

I was traveling East on Route 101 between Exeter and Epping when I noticed what I believed to be a plane traveling East/Northeast, as if it were taking off. What seemed odd, was that there were no vapor trails and the object was not visibly getting smaller, as if it were traveling away from me. I tried to point out the object to a passenger, who in return said “what object”. When I looked again, the object spotted seemed to be oblong and/or oval and stationary. The portion of the object facing me, seemed to “glow” is if reflecting the sun. However, the sun was setting on the opposite side of the object, from my perspective. The passenger asked again “what object”, as I pointed in the direction of the sky where the object was clearly visible to me, no clouds, and the passenger response was “what object”. As I tried again to explain where in the sky the object was, I looked at my passenger, I looked back towards the object, and the object was gone. I have no explanation for the objects disappearance, I did not look away long enough for a plane to turn (left, right or straight up) to leave my viewpoint of the sky. This last sentence was the hardest to explain, it was gone? To explain a little further, when I first noticed the object, it looked as if I had a small chip and/or crack on my windshield. I reached to the windshield to determine if it were a small crack, a reflection, or something in the background (sky). After reviewing the windshield and noticing that no crack existed, I asked a passenger “is that a plane”? The whole experience lasted about three minutes. I was driving, traveling about 70 mph, sun was in front of me.

First red orb spotted at 21:30, 10/06/2018 due south, rising at a speed about twice that of an air craft. Second orb became visible about a minute later. Both orbs remained visible as they flew directly overhead, heading north and disappeared into the north horizon. No sound was noticeable and remained in view 4-5 minutes. Neither of the original two had much of a trail, but one had visible break off like a flare that burned up within a second or two. Less than a minute after the first two disappeared, the third and the fourth came into view from the same southern location. One was larger than the first ones and had a noticeable tail to it. These two also released items that quickly burned up. There was complete overcast with no visible stars or a moon, so these were very low in our atmosphere. In total, there were 8 and they spread out into longer intervals between. Eventually only one in view at a time. The whole event lasted about 40 minutes. Some never made it to the far horizon, but at least 3/4 of the way. The ones that didn’t flickered out without any debris. There were four of us that witnessed this and none of us have seen anything like it. Possible sky lanterns??? PD

Driving west-bound on 101 through Exeter. Saw a low flying diamond shaped object with white lights at each corner. Lights not flashing, just solid. Thought it was a small plane at first but when I got closer realized it was barely moving, just hovering silently. I drove right by it as it remained in place and tilted slightly to one side. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

At approximately 12:55 p.m. on November 21, 2017, I was standing on Lincoln st. in Exeter N.H. looking east at the sky watching three large planes flying southbound, when I noticed a small white ball very high in the sky travel across the sky northbound at an extremely high rate of speed at least four times the speed of the aircraft I was observing.

Eventually, I got close enough to look up and see it clearly because it was directly above the lane that I was driving in. It was facing west, while I was heading east. On my left side (it's right side), there was a red light and on my left (it's right) there was a green light. And the white light that had been visible to me for about ten minutes before I could see it more clearly was almost at the nose of the craft. After I had driven under it, I kept looking in my rear view mirrors to see if I could see the bright light again but I couldn't see anything after that.
