OCTOBER 1955, PETERBORO, NEW HAMPSHIRE, USA, SOMEONE:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Apparently, in the 1980's, a CUFOS nesletter indicated that in Peterboro, New Hampshire, on October 1955, at 08:00 p.m., a 15-year old student at a local catholic seminary school was walking back to the classroom after finishing some chores and glanced to a nearby field where he noticed four glowing bluish white oval shaped objects. One was larger that the rest and appeared to be on the ground.

Standing next to the larger object were four human-like figures. The witness had the impression that the figures were extremely agitated for some unknown reason. Moments later, the figures noticed the witness, then he ran towards the school to obtain additional witnesses.

Others saw the objects flying over the schoolhouse silently disappearing from sight.

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Peterboro, New Hampshire, on October, 1955, at 2000, the 15-year old witness, a student at a local catholic seminary school, was walking back to the classroom after finishing some chores and glanced to a nearby field where he noticed four glowing bluish white oval shaped objects. One was larger that the rest and appeared to be on the ground. Standing next to the larger object were four human-like figures. The witness had the impression that the figures were extremely agitated for some unknown reason. Moments later the figures noticed the witness then he ran towards the school in order to obtain additional witnesses. Others saw the objects flying over the schoolhouse silently disappearing from sight.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is Cufos Associate Newsletter Vol. 6, #2.

Points to consider:

Unfortunately many information is missing and it is not possible to evaluate the case. The meager descriptions and absence of an available investigation report, if there was an investigation - which is not apparent - make it impossible to discard some possible confusion.
