The Exeter incident or Incident at Exeter was a highly publicized UFO sighting that occurred on September 3, 1965, approximately 5 miles (8 km) south of Exeter, New Hampshire, in the neighboring town of Kensington. Although several separate sightings had been reported in the Exeter area by numerous witnesses in the weeks leading up to the specific incident, it was the September 3 sighting, involving a local teenager and two police officers which eventually became by far the most famous. In 2011, Skeptical Inquirer offered an explanation of the incident, based on details reported by the eyewitnesses.
