This NICAP compilation of USAF Project Blue Book records covers the 3 September 1965 sighting near Exeter, New Hampshire. It holds signed statements from patrolmen Eugene Bertrand and David Hunt and from Norman Muscarello, the officers' UFO data sheets, and press clippings. It also includes the Air Force evaluation, which cites B-47 activity from Pease AFB during Operation Big Blast. The Air Force judged conventional aircraft a possible cause but listed the case as unidentified for statistical purposes.

## STATEMENT ## UFO Sighting I, Norman J. Muscarello, was hitchhiking on Rte. 150, 3 miles South West of Exeter N.H. at 0200 hours on the 3rd of September. A group of five bright red lights appeared over a house about 100 ft from where I was standing. The lights were in a line at about 60 degree angle. They were so bright they lighted up the area. The lights then moved out over a large field and acted at times like a floating leaf. They would go down behind the trees or behind a house and then re-appear. They always moved in the same 60 degree angle. Only one light would be on at a time. They were pulsating 1,2,3,4,5,5,4,3,2,1. They were so bright I could not distinguish any form to the object. I watched these lights for about 15 minutes and they finally disappeared behind some trees and seemed to go into a field. At one time while I was watching them, they seemed to come so close I jumped into a ditch to keep from being hit. After the lights went into the field I caught a ride to the Exeter Police Station and reported what I had seen. NORMAN J. MUSCARELLO
