I’ve never really talked about this before, except with a couple close friends. When I was around 12 years old, my parents and I were driving to a small shopping outlet in northern NH in mid-afternoon. It was a rural 2 lane highway, curving around some small hills and mountains. I heard my dad say “wow, what is that?” and he was pointing out the driver side. I looked out from the back seat, and out over a hill was this UFO. I remember it as being very cliche, almost fake looking. It had the stereotypical shape (at the time) of a “flying saucer” with a bubble/dome on top. Along the center of it, I remember there being lights that were chasing each other, except for one light that remained lit continuously. Under the saucer, there was a large spotlight aiming down at the trees. Sort of like the example image I posted below (online clipart Google said was free to share), except all the lights (around the center and the big spotlight) were white.

Mind you, I was 12 at the time, and was freaked out. I asked my parents if we could just turn around and go home. We looked back shortly after and it was gone.

Years later, probably in the early-mid 2000’s, I remembered an article in the local newspaper that MUFON was looking into a lot of reports of UFOs in Northern NH from about 10 years ago, which is when we saw this thing. I never reached out, but I kind of wished I had.

Looking back on it, I kind of feel like it must have been some sort of military program, but I still can’t get over how fake it looked in some respects. Like the lights chasing one another around the center, and the stereotypical saucer shape.

Would love to know if anyone else ever saw something like this around the same timeframe, and possibly the same area. It’s something I’ll never forget, even if it does sound kind of ridiculous.
