NH MUFON UFO Conference is Huge Success!!

The main headline celebrates the success of the New Hampshire MUFON UFO Conference. The event, held at Yoken's Conference Center, featured Betty Hill as the key speaker. The conference commemorated the 30th anniversary of the Betty and Barney Hill UFO abduction incident. Betty Hill advised people to respond to visitors from other solar systems by being "friendly" and recommended not approaching a landed UFO because they "are not offensive but will protect themselves from us."

UFO Experiences Addressed at Conference

Reporter Jennifer L. Rost details the conference sessions. Betty Hill recounted her and her husband Barney's experience. After about six months of hypnosis, they discovered they had supposedly been abducted and undergone physical examinations. Betty noted that Barney's teeth were removable while hers were not. The aliens took samples of hair, skin, saliva, and nail. She also mentioned finding her lost blue earrings on her kitchen table the next day.

Close Encounters of a Different Kind Come to N.H.

Harvey Dickson reports on the "The Uninvited Alien Encounters" seminar, sponsored by the New Hampshire Mutual UFO Network. The seminar addressed alien abductions, suggesting that many people have survived abductions without realizing it due to repressed memories. The article mentions the possibility of "scoop" marks indicating tissue samples were taken.

Storage for rods fuels concern

By Steve Haberman, this article from the Portsmouth Herald discusses concerns about nuclear waste storage at Seabrook Station. The costs of increasing high-level waste storage capacity are expected to be passed on to consumers, even though ratepayers are already paying the federal government for disposal. The state Nuclear Decommissioning Finance Committee was informed that Seabrook Station needs to make room for six more years' worth of highly radioactive spent fuel.

Betty Hill ends UFO career

Reporter April T. Jacob writes that Betty Hill officially retired from her UFO career on Sunday, making her final appearance at a MUFON UFO Network conference. After 30 years of speaking about UFOs, she stated she deserved a rest from the subject that made her a celebrity. She and her husband Barney Hill claimed they encountered a UFO in 1961.

NH. MUFON CASE LOG

Double Disc in Loudon:

Date: 11 September 1991, Time: 7:30 PM, Place: Loudon, NH.

A mother driving home with her two children reported seeing two large white discs moving slowly past their house. The discs were identical in shape and light configuration, with pastel multi-colored lights pulsating around their edges. Three dark circles were visible in a triangle pattern underneath each disc. The discs were estimated to be the size of a small house and about one hundred feet high. A low-pitched hum was audible. The ground was illuminated by their brightness. The craft moved out of sight towards Canterbury. Following the sighting, the witnesses experienced strange health symptoms: the little girl had stomach pain, fever, and a personality change; the boy suffered a major personality change; and the mother experienced easy bruising on her legs and arms. The boy remains severely impacted, crying when asked about the sighting. The father reported seeing a horizontal beam of bright white light across the bedroom doors on November 13, 1991.

Weird Tracks in the snow:

A man in Rochester found strange, four-toed tracks in the snow. After investigation, it was determined that these were likely tracks from a beaver.
