# Police, Civilians Sight UFO' in Exeter Area

EXETER - AL least five people here, including two police officers, have reported seeing a lying saucer in this area.

The incidents occurred early Friday morning. According to those who saw the unidentified lying object, it was about the size of a house and had a red flow around it, and moved gently through the night.

When Exeter police investigated a parked car on the Exeter-Hampton bypass at about 12.30 investigating officer Sugthe Bertrand, who approached the car and found women in a state of near shock. They told that they had been based along Rte. 101 all the way from Epping, about 12 miles by a flying object which followed with a brilliant halo of light. According to the women, everything followed their car until they stopped.

As the women told their every one of them ughled the next once more, about two es away, which Bertrand went was a star low on the

as this are reported, the sightings take place over a period of a few seconds, but in this instance, the men observed the object for 15 or 20 minutes at what appeared to be a relatively short distance.

One of the most amazing points which Officer Bertrand made while being interviewed was the complete absence of sound as the flying object hovered over a nearby farm building, casting a brilliant glow over the dwelling, while the farm animals in the barn caused a tremendous commotion. Horses whinnied and barked the walls of their stalls

Then the object disappeared rapidly in the distance.

Another Sightling Officer Eugene Bertrand's report on the trio's sighting of the strange object was made in Officer Toland, desk man at the

Exeter police station, at 2:55 a.m.

Then at 3:30 p.m. Officer Hunt reported from his cruiser that he had again sighted the UFO, while he was at the intersection of the Rte. 101 bypass in Exeter and Rte. 87 to Newfields from Exeter.

Topping the strange activities. Exeter police reported that a telephone call from an unidentified pay station in Hampton had been made by a hysterical man, but that the line had gone dead before the call could be completed or the pay phone station identified. The man had dialed the operator and cried "Get me the police" and said he had been chased by a flying saucer. Hampton police were notified, but nothing was determined about the point from which the call was made, what had frightened the man-or why the call was so abruptly broken off.

At 12 a.m. Norman J Muscarello, 18, of 20545 From St. Exeter, came into the police station with a half-raising report of having been chased by a flying object as he was hitchhiking towards Exeter on Ronte 150 in Kensington.

Muscarello told Desk Officer Reginald Toland that as he walked along the highway, a large, brilliant object began making passes on an adjacent field and house and along the highway. Not knowing what it was and being understandably shaken, he crouched in a ditch along the road as the object, so brilliantly red that its shape could not be determined in the glow, made what seemed to him to be searching passes at him.

Shortly thereafter the "thing" disappeared silently, as quickly as it had appeared. Muncarellin then hitched a ride to the police station and related what he had seen.

Although Muscarello's story was extraordinary. Patrotman Bertrand drove him back to the scene of the incident in the police cruiser. When they arrived, nothing was there.

Officer Bertrand suggested that they walk into the field where the flying object was last seen, and they were joined there by Exeter Patrolman David Hunt, who also drove to the scene. Bertrand was talking reassuringly when Muscarello shouted "Look, there it is, rising up from behind those trees." The officers spun around and looked.

From behind a stand of trees in the black of the night, a huge blinding glow of brilliant red light surrounding it, the object rose, not fast but waveringly.

It traveled slowly and yawed slightly from side to side. They were stunned by the blinding red light as it moved toward them across the field. The object seemed to be coming toward them and Bertrand made a move toward his police service revolver but thought better of it. Then the three men ran to the police cruisers. When questioned on the size of the object, Officer Bertrand estimated it to be "about the size of a house."
