Um, UFO?

Submitted by namecatcher17 t3_zmype0 in newhampshire

Sorry if this isn't allowed (using rif so navigating pages is weird) but I'm a little freaked out and wondering if anyone else saw what I just saw. I'm in Conway, and while driving home maybe 40 minutes ago I saw what I can only describe as a flying saucer. It was a traditional saucer shape with a rounded done on the top. Very large - too large to be a drone - and hovering, not moving in any direction. It reminded me of a carnival ride. I was driving so didn't get a very good look but I lost sight of it behind some trees, came out and saw it still hovering, passed by some trees again, and when I came back through it was just... gone. I feel like I'm going crazy. Anyone seen or heard anything? Again, sorry if this is out there. I'm just trying to ease my mind. 😅 Thanks in advance.

Oh don't you worry, I'm very familiar. It's why I'm so upset 😂 I can do without alien needles!

There’s lots of things in the sky we occasionally can’t explain. Who knows WHAT you saw?! At the very least, you have a great story to tell at parties 👍

that's actually a very comforting point. I appreciate you! :) You're certainly right about the story lol

I was once out hiking, and the blue sky overhead had a few little puff balls of clouds. I saw what I can only describe as a “bright star” moving across the sky. I thought it was probably an airplane that was catching the sunlight. It went into one of the small clouds, and didn’t come out! I sat there watching for it to emerge from the cloud for what what seemed like a few minutes, wondering “what the heck?”. Then suddenly, the bright star shot straight up out of the cloud in a spiraling motion and quickly disappeared. To this day, I can’t explain what I saw. I’m an amateur astronomer, so I’m pretty certain it was any kind of astronomical or meteorological phenomena. It makes a good story though!

I actually came across the “Betty and Barney Hill Abduction” state historical marker on Hwy 3 in Indian Head a few weeks ago. It was dusk, and it actually gave me the creeps just driving thru there lol.

No. That was just a weather balloon.

Damn… I had Experimental Military Aircraft on my bingo card

Do weather balloons typically have lights? Honest question is never actually seen one before

Editing to add (thanks google) that it looks like weather balloons typically only reflect light, don't have lights attached. I saw this an hour after sunset. So experimental military craft is winning 😂

And you didn't take a photo on video because you are the only person on earth who doesn't have a cell phone.

Driving and recording are not easy to do in tandem friend 😅

yea.. but seeing a UFO wasn't alarming enough to stop the car and snap a photo?

Seems suspicious to me.

Hey, it's all good to me if you don't believe me, internet strangers 😂

All good dude :) Wasn't trying to throw shade.. just stating out loud my skepticism.

So your claim is you saw a "flying saucer" that was clearly visible from a road, but neither you nor any other motorist thought it was interesting enough to pull over and take a picture of.

Sure.

NASA launched a special rocket that was supposed to be colorful and could be seen from nh so maybe that?

namecatcher17 OP t1_j0g485i wrote

Maybe, but from what I saw the rocket didn't launch until like 90 minutes after I saw the unknown object

I feel like I've seen these talked about before where they're some kind of balloon cell tower? I was to believe though. Lol

namecatcher17 OP t1_j0dw7gk wrote

It would make sense with how it disappeared since it's so cloudy, but it was honestly the least aerodynamic thing I've ever seen in my life 🤣 I do too, but not at the risk of abduction lmao Editing to add thank you so much for the information because logic makes me feel better I appreciate you

Centinel_was_right t1_j0dwdhr wrote

That's the neat part about balloons. 😂 They don't have to be particularly aerodynamic.

I want aliens though.

namecatcher17 OP t1_j0dwk80 wrote

That is actually very fair. If you want it to be aliens and I want it to be aliens we can keep it at aliens though lol

Nasa said they where going to be sending a electron rocket and I would be visible in the sky

namecatcher17 OP t1_j0e02c9 wrote

It looks like that was set to launch at 6pm EST? I saw this about 90 minutes ago. Did it launch earlier?

I didnt see shit. But is this not a great space to report a ufo?

I mean, it was the only thing I could think of, so it must be good! 😂

Where exactly did you see it? A location could help to rule things out.

namecatcher17 OP t1_j0hwq4w wrote

I was driving along West Side Road, and saw it to the west. I'd already crossed over the Saco.

Pics or it didn't happen

😂😂 but really, I have no idea, but not ruling anything out either!

namecatcher17 OP t1_j0hx0qo wrote

My bf suggested it might have been one of those super big drones people use for professional photography, and someone just wrapped it in Christmas lights. So far that feels the most likely. Especially considering I only saw it for 30-45 seconds before it disappeared - like they just turned the lights off.

But I mean, aliens are cooler. 🤣
