I first heard of this case in a book I got back in 1979. Is anyone else familiar with it or have an idea of what it was? Thanks

Ignorance isn’t bliss!
Every time I see a report that includes coloured lights I automatically lose interest.I don’t believe any object displaying lights especially coloured is ever anything other than of terrestrial origin.I first heard of this case in a book I got back in 1979. Is anyone else familiar with it or have an idea of what it was? Thanks

Interesting. While that does make sense to me, I cannot make that hard determination. All these years (until recently) I believed the Coyne case to be a flying saucer. But then your logic (as far as the lights go) came into play and someone solved the case.

Haven't heard of this one in a long time and had to look at Wiki Exeter incident - Wikipedia
It does sound a lot like the Coyne case. Glad Officer Bertrand decided to reholster his sidearm. Unwise to bring a .38 to a ray gun fight.
Google tells me that Exeter, NH has had a running UFO festival. I (think) I may have heard Kathleen Marden making connections between this incident and the Betty & Barney Hill case. Interesting - one in an 'incident' and the other is a 'case.' One of the few times twice nothing adds up to something.

I thought of the Coyne case as well when reading about the Exeter case. Neither case is a legitimately flying saucer from another world but the Exteter incident got the short of the stick - there wasn't a movie made about it nor did it receive 1/3 of the hoopla that Hill's received.

This is a very intriguing and genuine sounding case! I've never even heard of it, they managed to suppress and overshadowed by Betty & Barney Hill.

It's one of the first cases I heard of (when I was a kid). I have a book that talks about it as well as an illustration. I'll see if I can upload it (have to find it first

Who is 'they' specifically?
Things that are suppressed don't ordinarily have an advertised recurring town festival. And kettle corn courtesy of the Kiwanis Club.

I recently was about 15-20 minutes outside of Exeter (was in Raymond, NH) and multiple people at the campground I was at expressed interest in Exeter, and even just the surrounding areas and land in between Raymond and Exeter, specifically to watch the sky at night....
My friends stepfather is a big UFO enthusiast and him and a couple of his friends take their boat out onto the lake at the campground at night to watch the sky for anything, and he did show me some footage he captured but to me it looked like a drone.... his friend placed trail cams in the wooded area around the campground, because he said whenever he stays awake past a certain time at night, he hears strange noises and has heard loud tree knocking all around the perimeter....
According to him, Exeter and the areas around it are known for high levels of sightings and encounters, not just UFO related....

Here's an update from the same guy that solved the Coyne case. I shouldn't have created a new thread (maybe the mod can remove it). I should have posted it here. So here goes;

how convenient, another famous incident is explained by the same author using the same asinine theory
whenever a skeptic comes with a pet theory that "solves" every famous cases, then you know he is bullshitting

I don't know what the hell they saw but pointing out that the records of the era might be less than perfect and that there actually were any number of military aircraft in and around the area at the time is just common sense, not knee-jerk 'debunking' . I live in an area much like that and can tell you that I have seen some things that got my attention and had me staring at the sky for a few minutes until I was able to discern what I was looking at.
Nobody has 'solved' anything only repackaged what's been around for years. The links to the actual documents were cool. One statement about the patrolman having been part of an aerial refueling team in his military service and therefore couldn't have been mistaken reminded me of the more current Morristown, NJ absolutely identified hoax that had 'expert testimony' from all sorts of people on TV making very, very similar statements. It was balloons with flares and the stupid kids admitted it and were fined for it.
I prefer to believe it has a completely prosaic explanation because eyewitness testimony is usually questionable at best. Certainly these three nitwits were already front loaded for something strange when they went out into the field in the first place and the one patrolman saw something that scared him enough to grab his weapon. I didn't find the case to be overly compelling. Again, I've read all the nonsense about the Hudson Valley sightings and actually saw the f****ng thing myself and know how these things gain momentum on their own.
All that said, we weren't there and don't know what they saw and lacking any real evidence never will. It's much more statistically probable that they were mistaken for whatever reason - but I never say never and think its healthy to leave some room for doubt if there isn't some blatantly obvious explanation.

In summary, the chapter narrates purported information obtained from interviews with several security officers at the Indian Point nuclear reactor complex located at Buchanan, New York. The purported reports from these officers described two incidents (June 14 and July 24, 1984) in which a very large boomerang-shaped object or objects, with lights but definitely solid object(s), made very close approaches to complex buildings, and on July 24 "hovered right over one of the reactors at Indian Point for more than ten minutes." The object came "within 30 feet of the [only operating] reactor," one purported guard-witness stated. It is asserted that 12 officers in all saw these objects, at least three of whom are quoted in the chapter, albeit under pseudonyms.
Do you have any information about the claims made in the book about these specific Indian Point reactor reports?
Sorry, I missed whatever you have said on some previous occasion regarding "nonsense about the Hudson Valley sightings." I know little of the Hudson Valley sightings other than what I read in a book named Night Siege (Second Edition, 1998), by J. Allen Hynek, Philip J. Imbrogno, and Bob Pratt. (I am aware that it was reported in 2011 that Imbrogno had claimed certain academic and military credentials which he did not possess.) The single incident in that book which most interested me is the subject of Chapter Eleven, titled "The Encounter at Indian Point."

You betcha. Check out this thread Hudson Valley UFO sightings
In a nutshell, it was a group of small planes. I live right here where the planes cam from, work with one of the local airport managers, saw the thing myself. The further away from ground zero - there were at least three small airports involved - the weirder it looked. The ATC tower in nearby Danbury, CT wasn't fooled though and they were pissed at the time.
Plus, I've been to the Indian Point facility many times on service calls and have dealt with some of their security people and have a sense of geographic perspective that helps explain things a bit better.
Imbrogno knew it was planes at the time and chose to overlook all that. Hynek was in the last stages of his life and suffering from a terminal brain tumor, so he gets a pass.
