In July 2011, the state of New Hampshire erected this sign near the site of the Hill encounter in the White Mountains. The base closed in 1963 and now sits abandoned. Given that the events involving Barney and Betty Hill (below) happened just a short time later, some assert that this was the same UFO. In 1961, according to military reports, a strange object appeared in the skies above East Mountain and remained visible for about 18 minutes.

Winthrop reports that “when it stood still, it flamed up, and was about three yards square when it ran, it was contracted into the figure of a swine: it ran as swift as an arrow towards Charlton, and so up and down about two or three hours.” By the time the lights moved away, Everell and his boatmates had been delivered one mile upstream, although they had no memory of how. In his diary entry of March 1 that year, Winthrop wrote that a “sober, discreet man” named James Everell was rowing a boat up the Muddy River at night when he saw a “great light” in the sky.
