National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 8/24/2015 05:15 (Entered as : 08/24/2015 05:15) Reported: 8/24/2015 11:53:08 AM 11:53 Posted: 8/27/2015 Location: Salem, NH Shape: Circle Duration: 10 minutes Characteristics: There was an aura or haze around the object
Round white object in southern NH sky, moved very rapidly and severely, and was visible despite foggy conditions. I was sitting in my car in the parking lot of a Red Roof Inn. Despite the fog and low cloud deck, a bright white circular object zigzagged very quickly in the sky, just northwest of me. The circle would stop, then a minute or two later resume for several minutes. I cannot be positive of the exact beginning and ending time, but I am very sure that nothing man-made could produce a similar viewing. The object moved very quickly and erratically, unlike a light of sort, and too severely to have been a drone. If there was a solid object, it was completely surrounded by the round white ball of light. ((ADDENDUM FROM SOURCE OF REPORT)) Hi Peter; I may have erroneously hit RI as the state---- this sighting was in Salem, NH. I'm sorry I didn't have my phone with me to take some video. Thanks, ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM))

Round white object in southern NH sky, moved very rapidly and severely, and was visible despite foggy conditions.

I was sitting in my car in the parking lot of a Red Roof Inn. Despite the fog and low cloud deck, a bright white circular object zigzagged very quickly in the sky, just northwest of me. The circle would stop, then a minute or two later resume for several minutes.

I cannot be positive of the exact beginning and ending time, but I am very sure that nothing man-made could produce a similar viewing. The object moved very quickly and erratically, unlike a light of sort, and too severely to have been a drone.

If there was a solid object, it was completely surrounded by the round white ball of light.
