Double UFO in New Hampton 1963

Summary

In October 1963, a witness in New Hampton, New Hampshire, reported seeing two irregularly blinking yellow lights in the western sky. The lights appeared to move together, maintaining a constant distance apart, and eventually sank below the horizon. The witness, interested in aviation, noted that their speed was much slower than meteors and did not match conventional aircraft. The description of the lights as orange-yellow with a steady glow raised questions about their identity. The U.S. Air Force received the report but found inconsistencies in the data provided by the witness.

The official Air Force report classified the case as "conflicting data" due to contradictions between the initial letter and the completed form. In the letter, the witness stated the lights moved westward, but on the form, the direction was listed as southeast. Additionally, the estimated speed of 200 mph did not align with the arc traveled in 15 minutes. The Air Force suggested the sighting could have been the setting of Antares and Mars, whose positions matched the witness's description if the reported time was corrected by two hours. However, the witness did not confirm this explanation, and the case remains unresolved.
