Exeter UFO incident and New Hampshire cluster

Record summary

A concentration of reports in southeastern New Hampshire in September 1965 included teenager Norman Muscarello’s roadside observation near Exeter, a later police-witnessed encounter involving Eugene Bertrand and David Hunt, and additional reports from residents and motorists. The objects were commonly described as large, bright or disk-like and associated with unusual lights. Project Blue Book investigated the case cluster, which became influential in later UFO writing. Conventional possibilities such as aircraft, stars, power-related lights and exaggeration remain part of the evidentiary debate.
