New Hampshire is where the modern abduction narrative began, on a mountain road in 1961, with Betty and Barney Hill. Four years later the state produced the 'Incident at Exeter', a well-witnessed 1965 sighting that became a bestselling book.

Saw something over New Hampshire?
Most strange lights have an ordinary cause. Run the identifier: seven questions and the three most likely explanations, from a Starlink train to Venus to a drone, each with how to confirm it.
Note the exact time, the compass direction, the height above the horizon, how long it lasted and how it moved. Check a flight tracker and a satellite app before deciding it is unexplained.
File it. The National UFO Reporting Center and MUFON take reports from every US state, New Hampshire included, and their databases are where the per-state counts actually live.
