Sketches of Nashua UFO Released

The three family members that saw an unidentified flying object above the Everett Turnpike in Nashua on Oct. 5, have worked with a graphic artist to come up with some sketches of what they saw in the skies above the city.

Jim Bowe posted a screenshot of one the sketches on the Nashua NH Patch Facebook site and later, submitted a gif file with a number of sketches of what he, his wife, and younger son saw around 9:15 p.m. on Sunday night.

A 3D model was created by another son of Bowe’s, who is a graphic artist, based on the details described to him, and he submitted that collection of graphics to Patch as well.

Bowe stated that what his family saw was hundreds of feet above the ground and about the size of a house when it was flying across their car near Exit 5.

A number of Patch readers reported seeing movement in the sky that night including on Queen City Avenue in Manchester. Others say they have seen something similar during the last few weeks in Concord, Pittsfield, Amherst, and Milford.

Other readers noted that it could have been Nashua Airport traffic or a plane from Pease. Others stated that there were military jets seen near Mount Monadnock earlier in the day and also in the Portsmouth area. One woman wrote that she had seen a stealth fighter flying quite low in the past in Hooksett and it seemed to have a similar look.

Bowe stated that he has lived in Nashua for more than two decades right under the flight path of the airport. He said what they saw was no plane. Bowe added that the object turned at a 90 degree angle at “extremely low speed, altitude, and without sound,” adding, “Any plane would have dropped from the sky at the speed this was going. We surely would have seen the marker lights and landing lights.”

Another commenter noted that they saw something similar early in the morning on July 31, in Milford.

“I am very familiar with the look and sound of air traffic and what I saw was NOT anything like a traditional aircraft,” the note stated. “The total silence was what really threw me. It could not have been more that 40 feet right above my head flying slowly and I heard nothing at all.”
