A New Hampshire witness at Nashua reported watching a red-orange orb moving a few hundred feet off of the ground while apparently being pursued by a military helicopter, according to testimony in Case 79839 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
“I heard an extremely loud, very low-flying helicopter somewhere over the woods behind my apartment in the southern area of Nashua which is not at all a normal occurrence here,” the witness stated.“My wife and two sons were present; we were getting ready to eat dinner. We grew increasingly alarmed as the helicopter’s sound grew louder and louder until we could feel the building vibrating from it.”
The witness and his oldest son, age 14, stepped out onto the balcony to look for the helicopter.
“It sounded like it was practically on top of us, but too low and close to see it over the tree line. It was dark, the full moon was still on the opposite horizon behind our building. My first thought was that it might be the police tracking someone on the ground in the woods, except this helicopter was SO loud – sounded more like a Black Hawk than the standard choppers that police/news uses.”
The two could not see searchlights of any kind over the woods.
“Suddenly we saw a reddish/orange light break over the tree line headed south. Our balcony faces west and this light was running straight and perpendicular across our view. It was a large orb shape, flying very fast in a perfectly straight line – skimming above the trees no more than a few hundred feet off the ground, and a few hundred yards from us. We had a clear view of it for just a couple of seconds before it was lost behind the trees again. It didn’t weave or change course, didn’t wobble, or change colors/size/shape. There were no other lights on it, and it didn’t appear to pulse.”
