West Rindge, New Hampshire

Site of a July 7, 1947 incident — three days after the nationwide “flying disc” panic began — in which small grass fires and burned metallic (cast-iron) fragments appeared near a porch and along Route 202. Investigated by the fbi and analyzed by mit; the case was declassified and reported by NHPR in June 2026. Origin of the fragments remains unresolved; theories (jet-turbine lining, V-2 missile debris, meteorite) were all contested by scientists. See src-west-rindge-1947-pentagon-files-2026-06.
