These are abstracts of UFO sighting reports published in the New England UFO Study Group's publications. Many of them are now obscure and may not have been published anywhere else. The list is in chronological order. For those with access to the Newsletters, I have included source information after each summary.
Bill Sheehan and four schoolfriends were sledding when they saw a bright star-like object approaching from the west. It grew closer until it was visible as a flying saucer with pulsating lights around its scalloped edge. The lights were alternating blue-green and red. The disc moved directly over the witnesses, who were huddled together on the ground. A blinding light enveloped them, causing a timgling sensation. Under hypnosis, Sheehan recalled communicating with the UFO entities, though he did not see them. About one hour of "missing time" was never accounted for. N.E. UFO Newsletter Oct.81 p.13-17.
