Hunt
who
filled
out
and
signed
an
eight
-page
UFO
questionnaire
and
later
gave
permission to
use
his
name
in
connection
with
the
report.
I
preceded
to
the
residence
of
Norman
Muscarello
and
discovered
that
he
was
out
of
State
until
September
14.
Arrangements
have
been
made
for
a
personal interview
upon
his return.
I
then
drove
out
to
the
sighting
area
of
sightings
two
and
three,
and
interviewed
residents in
the general
area.
Next,
I
went
to
the
home
of
Officer
Bertrand
and
drove
him
back
to
the area of
sighting
two
and
three
where
he
filled
out
a
UFO
questionnaire,
signed
it
and
gave
NICAP
permission to
use
his
name
in
connection
with
his
sighting.
While
at
the
sighting
area
he
gave
me
a
detailed description
of the
sightings
and
related
information.
I
inter-
viewed
others
in
the area
who
had
related
information
and
arrived
back
home
at 2:45
p.m.
My
brother,
Richard
A.
Fowler,
and
I
returned
to
the area
and
took photographs.
We
walked
several
miles
along
some
powerlines
near the
sighting
area
examining
this
area for
any
signs
of
a
UFO
landing.
We
feel
that
the
UFO
might
have
been
attracted
to
the area
by
these
powerlines.
We
found
nothing.

At
approximately
12:30
a.m.,
e.d.t.,
Officer
Bertrand
came
upon
one
woman
(not
two
as
reported
by
newspapers) parked
in
an
automobile
on
route
101
justoutside
Exeter.
When
asked
if
she
needed
help
she
said
exeitedly
that
she
had
been chased along
Route
101 between
Epping
and
Exeter
for
12
miles
by
a
flying
object
which
was
encircled
with
a
brilliant
red
glow.
She
stated
that the
object
dived
at her
moving
automobile
several times.
When
Bertrand asked
where
the
object
was,
she
pointed to
what
he
thought
was
a
bright star
on
the
horizon.
He
dismissed the
incident
and
after
watching the
light
source for
a
few
minutes
to reassure
the
woman
he
proceeded
on
in
the
cruiser.
He
dismissed
the
incident
and
did
not
attach
enough
importance
to
the
woman's
account
to
warrant
obtaining
her
name.

FORTHCOMING
PENDING
PERSONAL
•INTERVIEW)
At
approximately
1
a.m.,
e.d.t.,
Norman
Muscarello
was
walking
along
Route150
in
Kensington, N.H.,
about
2
miles
from
Exeter.
He
had
been
visiting
in
Amesbury,
Mass.,
and had
been
thumbing
rides
hoMe
to Exeter.
As
he
ap-
proached the Clyde
Russell residence
he
was
alarmed
to see
an
object
carrying
at
least
four extremely
bright
red
pulsating
lights
emerge
from
nearby
woods
and maneuver
over the
field
adjoining
the
road
which
belongs to Carl
Dining.It
moved
over the Clyde
Russell
home
and
hovered
there.
The
house
was
only
20
to
30
feet
from where
Muscarello
stood
and
the
object
appeared
to
be
just
a
matter of
several feet
from
the
roof.
Frightened thoroughly
he
crouched
down
beside
the stonewall
which runs
along
the
field.
Several
times
it
seemed
to
move
closer
to
him.
Its
lights
were
so
bright that
the
Russell
home was
bathed
with
a
red glow.
The
size
of
the
object
seemed
to
be
much
larger
than
theRussell
home
and
Muscarello
later
told
the
police
it
was 80
to
90
feet long.
The
object
was
completely
silent.
Then
it
moved
'back
over the Carl Dining
field
and
disappeared over the
trees.
Muscarello
pounded
on
the
door of the Clyde
Russell
home
shouting that
he had
seen
a
"flying
saucer."
The
Russells
woke
up
but
refused
to
answer
the door
thinking that
the boy
was
drunk or some-
thing.
Muscarello
finally
gave
up and
started
down
the road toward
Exeter.
He
flagged
down a
passing automobile
and
received
a
ride
to
the Exeter
police
station.
(The
above
account
is
based
upon
information
received
from
Officers
Hunt
and
Bertrand.
I
hope
to
receive
more
detailed
information
from
Norman
Muscarellopersonally
as
soon
as he
returns
from Rhode
Island.)

Muscarello reported the
incident to
Desk
Officer
Reginald
Towland
at about
1
:45
a.m.,
e.d.t.
He
was
white with fear
and
hardly able to
talk.
A
radio
call
was made
to
Officer
Bertrand asking
him
to return to the
station, pick
up
Muscarello
and
investigate
at the scene of the sighting
which he
did.
Upon
arriving at the Carl Dining
field
the object
was nowhere
to be seen. After wait-
ing
and
looking
from the
cruiser for several minutes, Bertrand radioed head-
quarters that there
was
nothing there
and
that the boy must have been
imagining things. It
was
then suggested that
he examine the
field
before
