On September 3rd, 1965, 18-year-old Norman Muscarello reported to the Exeter Police his sighting of an unidentified flying object behind a barn in Kensington. As the Exeter police investigated the site, they too witnessed the object hovering where Muscarello had seen it. Headlines across the nation covered the story, and the rest became history as police and investigators nationwide sought to determine what young Muscarello observed that night. As with many locally famous UFO events, this sighting resulted in a local UFO themed festival in the town of Exeter. In addition to typical festival activities, there is a speaker series including Ufologists from around the country.
