Colebrook | 2000 July 3 | Two witnesses were in a vehicle driving north on route 3 out of Colebrook towards Pittsburg at approx. 10:30 p.m. on a cloudy and drizzly night. They were talking and both took notice of all the fire flies in front of their vehicle. While looking out of the windshield they saw a capsule shaped green glowing object in the sky directly over head and then in the next instant it landed in front of them on the highway. The only way they were able to see this was because of the huge flash of green light that it gave off. They immediately turned the vehicle around and drove in the opposite direction. While doing this one witness saw that the craft was disk shaped, black with red under glow. They were driving away, not being able to move very fast because of the weather conditions, traveled at least four miles and spotted the craft now glowing solid green following them as it was about a mile away just above tree line.

Seabrook | 2000 November 17 |
During the rush hour evening commute, two stationary crafts in the sky over I-95 were reported to have separated from each other and one launched a fireball. Initially a witness saw what he thought was the rear wingspan of a landing airplane. It caught his attention because the left wing lights were blinking like the craft was signaling a turn. On the left wing there were three white lights equally distanced apart. On the right wing there were only two lights, a white and a red one. They were located at the outside and inside ends of what he thought was the right wing of a large airplane. He was driving north on I-95 at 70 mph. After a few moments of observing the craft he realized that it was stationary in the sky. The crafts separated, the one on the left was lower and the one on the right went up. The two crafts remained within a matter of yards of each other. As he continued to watch the crafts he saw the upper craft launch a fireball in a northward direction. It resembled a shooting star in the night sky. The fireball followed a straight trajectory until it disappeared from view in the distance. He pulled into a rest area parking lot to continue watching the crafts. The two crafts moved slowly to the south, continuing to maintain a pairing. - NUFORC |
