A young New Hampshire teen was at summer camp. One night he heard what seemed like a conversation coming from outside the cabin, but he was sure that these were not humans.
I received the following account:
"This incident occurred in Hillsboro, New Hampshire when I was attending overnight summer camp when I was 13 years old in August of 1978.
One night, not long after midnight, I awoke quite alert for no apparent reason. It was pitch black in and outside of the cabin. Besides feeling very alert, and not sleepy at all, I felt an instinctive fear.
Then I heard two "things talking" outside the cabin. I would say they were very close, maybe 5 or 10 feet away. They were not human beings because the sounds they were making were not human. On the other hand, they were not animals because they were definitely communicating in an intelligent way, there was no mistaking it. They were questioning and answering each other.
I don't think at the time I had seen any alien or UFO movies. My initial response was a primal fear of the unknown.
After several minutes of laying on my back paralyzed by fear, I gathered my wits and decided to climb up to the top bunk and wake up my best friend. As slowly and quietly as possible, I slipped out of my sleeping bag and climbed up the ladder to his bed. Then, I gently nudged him, whispering in a hushed whisper, "John, wake up. Shhhhh. Just listen."
He woke up, he listened, and he heard them too.
We just listened, frozen, for what was probably only half a minute more. Then one of us whispered something to the other and the voices outside went silent. John and I froze again and were silent.
We waited for several minutes, listening for them, wondering if they were still there. Finally, after some time, reassured that they had probably left, we started whispering to each other again. Though we did not use the words at the time. We were freaked out. It took another half hour before I was comfortable enough to climb back down to my bed and go back to sleep.
In the morning we reported the incident to our counselor. he told us it was probably porcupines. Of course, we knew it was not a porcupine or any animal, but you can imagine he did not pay any attention to us.
The clincher to this incident is that a week later I received a letter in my camper mailbox from my father. This was before email or cell phones, I had no daily communication with my father. In the letter he had enclosed an article he had cut out from a newspaper (Boston Globe). The headline was something like: Hundreds Spot UFOs Over Small New Hampshire Town. (Hillsboro). It had occurred the same night as our incident.
I tried once in recent years to find the article in the Boston Globe microfiche at the Boston Public Library but I couldn't find it. It must have appeared in New Hampshire newspapers at the time too." MM
