Fuller, 'Incident at Exeter'
Fuller's field investigation of the September 1965 sightings near Exeter, New Hampshire, involving a teenager and two police officers.
1966 CE · 42.95, -70.96 · status: account
The account
Fuller interviewed dozens of local witnesses and presented the police officers' testimony as the kind of credible, multi-witness case the Air Force was failing to take seriously. It was one of the books that pushed Congress and the Air Force toward funding the Condon study.
The sceptical view
Skeptics have proposed an aerial refuelling exercise or advertising aircraft lights as the source; the Air Force initially blamed a military exercise and then softened its explanation.
