On August 1, 1907, strange lights were reported to be seen over Sagamore Hill, in Oyster Bay, New York, the home of the 26th President, Theodore Roosevelt.

Between the hours of 9 p.m. and 11 p.m., that a brilliant white light was seen to hang motionless over Sagamore Hill. According to the news story, it was a light “considerably larger than a star” and hung about 300 feet in altitude over the house according to numerous witnesses. It was described as an “intense white light”. After 11 p.m. it began to fade to a spark and then extinguished.

While this ball of light was hovering above Sagamore hill, the Second International Peace Convention was taking place at The Hague, Netherlands that year from June 15 to October 18, 1907.

That convention had the full support of the President, and it was an attempt to codify the rules of war, especially naval warfare. It was also seen as the world’s first attempt at an international governing body, a precursor to the League of Nations and the United Nations.

In 1907 a mysterious UFO was spotted over Theodore Roosevelt’s home. See more in this clip from Season 1, “Aliens and the United States.”
