UFO Sighted Near Deerfield, New Hampshire in 1958

Summary

In August 1958, a family in New Hampshire observed an unidentified flying object (UFO) that appeared to have the shape of two saucers stacked on top of each other. The object was described as an orange-colored steel plate under high temperature. Although the sighting occurred several years prior, it was reported in 1960, which made a proper investigation difficult due to the time elapsed. The document includes detailed U.S. Air Force forms to gather information about the sighting, though the case was deemed too old for a valid evaluation. The family did not report the incident initially due to fear of ridicule. Despite this, a family member, a major during World War II, stated the object was not a conventional aircraft and exhibited unusual behavior.

The object was sighted for approximately 20 seconds and was moving northward. The family's detailed account highlights the object's distinct appearance and behavior, contributing to the broader study of UFO sightings from that era.
