Eyewitness account of an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed by multiple witnesses in West Deering, NH

Basic Incident Data
Date: Mid-September, 1986 or 1987
Time: Initial sighting at approximately 9:00 PM
Location: West Deering, New Hampshire (end of residential road)
Duration: Observed for approximately 30+ minutes; total incident duration ~3 hours (including time anomaly)
Weather: Clear evening, end of summer conditions
Witnesses: Approximately 15 children + 3 adults (witness's father, fathers friend and friends wife)

Physical Characteristic
Shape: Disk-shaped craft
Size: Estimated 3-6 football fields in length (approximately 900-1,800 feet)
Color/Surface: Dark gunmetal appearance
Altitude: 100-150 feet above treeline
Distance: Approximately 0.5 miles or less from observers
Sound: Completely silent throughout encounter

Illumination and Features
Light Pattern: Lights moving in repeated right-to-left sequence across mid-section
Light Colors: Alternating blue, green, red, and yellow
Windows: 6-10 square-shaped windows visible above the light array
Window Illumination: Soft glow resembling house lights in the distance
Interior Activity: Shadow-like movement observed in 1-2 windows, barely discernible silhouettes

Detailed Chronology
Initial Discovery (9:00 PM)
Group of friends playing hide-and-seek outside
Primary witness at end of road first noticed object hovering motionless
Object remained stationary for extended observation period

Gathering of Witnesses
Neighborhood children gradually gathered around primary witness
One child ran to alert parents
Sister (4 years older than primary witness.) retrieved binoculars from home
Three adults joined observation: witness's father, friend, and friends wife

Extended Observation Period
Total observation time: 30+ minutes of continuous viewing
Enhanced observation through binoculars revealed additional details
Witness noted unnatural silence approximately 15 minutes into observation
No ambient sounds: no wind, no rustling trees, no natural sounds except witness voices

Departure Sequence
After 30+ minutes of stationary hovering, craft emitted blinding white flash
Following flash, craft began slow movement for approximately 30 seconds
Object then departed at high speed in west-northwest direction toward Vermont
Movement appeared completely silent

Time Anomaly Discovery
Witnesses expected time to be approximately 9:30-10:00 PM
Actual time discovered to be just past midnight
Nearly 3 hours unaccounted for
Discovery made when parent called for child, appearing upset about lateness
No witness retained memories of the missing time period

Witness Reactions and Statements
During Encounter
Our comments: "What is that?", "Is that a hot air balloon?", "Is this real?", "Am I going crazy?"
Sister's observation: "Is someone inside that?" (after viewing through binoculars)
Fathers Friend: Displayed curiosity throughout
Friends wife: Made jokes (likely masking fear), appeared skeptical but frightened
Primary witness's father: Remained largely silent during observation

Immediate Aftermath
Post-flash reaction: General confusion - "What was that?"
Witness's father: "Something is not right" (regarding time discrepancy)
Other adults: Dismissed as "wild" but not particularly concerned
Normal ambient sounds returned around time of parent calling for child

Family Reactions
Mother's response (typical 1980s dismissal): "Oh wow, that's nice dear"
Father avoided discussion of incident during walk home
Father later downplayed missing time aspect, though appeared privately concerned, and refused to talk about it later in life.

Environmental Anomalies
Acoustic Phenomena
Complete silence noted during observation period
Absence of normal environmental sounds (wind, trees, wildlife)
Unnatural quality to the silence
Normal sounds returned coinciding with encounter's end

Animal Behavior
No specific unusual animal behavior noted
General absence of normal nighttime sounds during encounter

Media Coverage and Official Response
Newspaper Coverage

Likely published in Concord Monitor (unconfirmed)
Article dismissed sighting as "unexpected meteor shower"
Included artwork of meteors
Claimed other witnesses mistook meteors for unusual phenomena

Television/Radio Coverage
Local TV news mentioned "unexpected meteor shower" the following evening
Reporter stated: "According to NASA, this was an unexpected meteor shower and they do not expect further showers anytime soon"
No additional media coverage identified

Community Impact
Immediate (Days Following)
Initial discussion among witnesses and school children
Newspaper explanation caused witnesses to downplay significance
Community generally accepted official meteor explanation

Long-term Effects
Most witnesses gradually stopped discussing incident shortly afterwards and almost all
witnesses eventually refused to discuss encounter
Father never discussed incident again despite apparent private concern

Analysis of Key Evidence Points
Physical Object Characteristics
Size Consistency: Multiple witnesses estimated massive size (football field scale)
Structured Appearance: Clear geometric shape with distinct features (windows, lights)
Advanced Flight Characteristics: Silent hovering, instant acceleration, controlled light displays
Non-conventional Design: No visible propulsion systems, unconventional lighting patterns

Witness Reliability Factors
Multiple Independent Observers: 18+ witnesses of varying ages
Enhanced Observation Tools: Binocular usage provided detailed viewing
Extended Observation Period: 30+ minutes of continuous viewing
Consistent Testimony: Core details remained consistent across witnesses

Anomalous Aspects
Time Loss: 3-hour period unaccounted for by any witness
Environmental Effects: Unnatural silence during encounter
Instantaneous Departure: Physics-defying acceleration after slow initial movement
Official Dismissal: Meteor explanation inconsistent with described observations

Unresolved Questions
Time Anomaly: What occurred during the 3 missing hours?
Interior Activity: What was the nature of movement observed in craft windows?
Propulsion Method: How did craft achieve silent hovering and rapid acceleration?
Official Response: Why was a clearly structured craft dismissed as meteors?
Environmental Effects: What caused the complete environmental silence?

Conclusions
This incident is my account of an encounter with several characteristics that distinguish it from conventional explanations:
Scale and Duration: The massive size and extended observation period rule out common misidentifications
Structured Appearance: Clear geometric features and controlled lighting inconsistent with natural phenomena
Advanced Technology: Silent propulsion and instantaneous acceleration beyond known human capabilities
Environmental Effects: Unexplained acoustic anomalies during encounter
Time Anomaly: Significant missing time experienced by all witnesses

The official meteor shower explanation appears inadequate to account for the structured nature of the object, its controlled flight characteristics, the extended observation period, and the associated environmental anomalies.
