Norman Muscarello, a teenage Navy recruit, was walking down a quiet country highway at night, when suddenly, a huge object loomed above him. Thus began the "Incident at Exeter," a series of sightings officially qualified as "unidentified." The encounters that night took special precedence over other UFO sightings because of the credibility of two Exeter police officers who also saw the UFO, as well as that of the dispatcher and supervising officer who first heard Muscarello's account.
This event occurred in September 1965 and was the icing on the cake regarding UFO sightings. That fall many notable sighting were witnessed and thoroughly researched. The incidents included an encounter at Pease Air Force Base. The air force tried to cover-up the incidents but couldn't.
The sighting occurred near Amesbury, MA
