UFO'S IN NH? FROM HAMPTON NH



This may seem like an odd subject for this site however there have been hundreds of sightings of ufo's in the seacoast area over the past 40 years or so. So many that there was a movie made about the experiences of Betty and Barney Hill after being abducted while traveling home to Portsmouth from the White Mountains. Also a book can be found in any library called "Incident At Exeter" A sighting that took place in the area in 1965 that lasted about 30 minutes and was witnessed by law enforcement, students ant Phillip's Exeter and many area residents. I recall when I was working as a D.J. at a Portsmouth NH radio station on a Saturday night in 1973. It was a slow phone night, not many requests. Then the phones started to light up one line at a time until all ten were lit. I started answering the calls and everyone of them was from Amesbury Ma and all describing the same thing. A large disc with lights hovering over a farm field in Amesbury. One woman was in a house not even a hundred yards from it. She said cars were stopping and just watching this thing. After about 10 minutes of these calls a heard the roar of jets from Pease Airforce Base. I looked out the studio window and saw three fighters with after burners on heading towards Amesbury. At that moment the man I was speaking with said the UFO moved away quickly and seconds later the jets flew by. There was never any official statement but when is there? If your interested in this subject as it relates to our area check out the Lane Memorial Library in Hampton http://www.hampton.lib.nh.us
Have a great day!

A SOLITARY CANDLE FOR SEPTEMBER 11TH 2001 FROM HAMPTON NH



Take a moment today to remember those lost on September 11th 2001.
On this September 11th you can enjoy the last day of the Seafood Festival at Hampton Beach.
If you really want a deal go down at about 4pm. Most of the vendors will be cutting prices in half because they don't want to take any food products back with them.
Another picture perfect Fall day maybe you would rather go pick some apples or get your first pumkin of the season. Just drive the back roads and you'll find places you can do both!
What ever you decide to do just get outside and enjoy our Seacoast fall weather:
Sunday, mostly sunny. Highs in the lower 70s. Northwest winds around 5 mph, becoming southwest in the afternoon.

Sunday night, mostly clear. Not as cool with lows in the upper 50s. Southwest winds 10 to 15 mph.
