2025 Exeter UFO Festival

The 2025 Exeter UFO Festival is happening Aug. 30 and 31. It was started following the famous “Incident at Exeter,” which happened on Sept. 3, 1965 in Kensington, NH, and is one of the most well documented UFO sightings.

“At that time, 18-year-old Norman Muscarello reported to the Exeter Police his sighting of an unidentified flying object behind a barn in Kensington. As the police investigated the site, they too saw the object hovering where Muscarello had seen it. Headlines nationwide told the story. The rest became history as the police and investigators nationwide tried to determine what young Muscarello saw that night,” the website said.
