    I originally purchased this 1906 postcard of the Charles St School House in Penacook, NH because it is a very nicely done handcolored postcard. Recently though I was going through some postcards and I realized there was a strange "light" that appears to be in the air on the right side. No other photos or postcards hint at any light source near the school. It is disc shaped and is colored so that it appears it is in motion. Any help with the identification of the object would be appreciated.

      Possibly a UFO?

      Thanks! Your postcard sounds great. For some reason I can find no record of a UFO sighting in that area. I find it interesting that whoever colored it must have known it was a UFO because there would be no reason to add the yellow if they didn't know something in the postcard was giving off light.

      It sounds interesting. Was the disc shape high above the ground?

      Phil, I have the same question as to why would someone take a picture for a postcard of a school with a UFO in it and not mention the UFO on the card. There are other examples of similar postcards but none of them have a UFO in them.
