Martin Willis interviews Dean Merchant live at the Rye New Hampshire Library, with a live audience, for a fascinating conversation about UFOs in New Hampshire. Dean, co-founder of the Exeter UFO Festival, discusses why the Granite State has long been considered one of the most active UFO regions in America. The conversation explores the legendary 1965 Incident at Exeter, the continuing mystery surrounding sightings in the Exeter/Kensington area, and other notable New Hampshire hotspots including Fremont, Brentwood, Raymond, Nottingham, Pawtuckaway, Ossipee, and the White Mountains. We also get into theories about why these areas may be so active, from geology and rare minerals to reports of USOs and long-standing witness testimony. If you’re interested in New England UFO history, regional hotspots, and the ongoing mystery of unexplained sightings in New Hampshire, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
