When a UFO case is so convincing that it sparks a squabble between the U.S. Air Force and a small-town police department, you know something weird went down. Welcome to The Exeter Incident of 1965, one of the most credible and chilling UFO encounters in American history.
It all started with a huge craft with red flashing lights hovering over a New Hampshire field, encountered by a lone pedestrian and later confirmed by Officers Eugene Bertrand and David Hunt. What followed was a night of frantic reports, rattled cops, and an Air Force explanation that made absolutely no one happy.
In this episode, we dig into:
- 👀 Norman Muscarello’s terrifying close encounter
- 🚔 How Officers Bertrand & Hunt became unexpected UFO witnesses
- 📑 The Air Force’s Operation Blue Book spin job
- 🙃 The heated back-and-forth between Blue Book and Exeter police
- 🎉 The legacy of the sighting, including today’s Exeter UFO Festival
Of course, we also veer off into our trademark banter — from what aliens might actually want to why UFOs allow us to see them. Strange, funny, and just a little spooky… exactly how we like it.
This isn’t just a story about lights in the sky; it’s about what happens when the people we trust to tell us the truth can’t even agree on what they saw.
