Light over Ijamsville, MD

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

As my son and I were walking out of the school, we noticed a bright light above the southwestern horizon. We watched it for about 2 minutes. I thought that it was a plane heading toward us. I turned and began to walk to my car. As I turned, my son noticed the light move upwards and then to the east. Then it disappeared. He called out to me. As I turned back to look, the light was completely gone. I am not sure how far away from the object we were. So I’m not sure of the exact distance it traveled before disappearing. The apparent distance from the spot where we first noticed the light to where it disappeared was about 2 inches. It traveled this distance in about 2 seconds.

Ask for the records

What would the paper say?

For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

Ijamsville, MD

I’m a bit perplex about the event. I truly believed if I had ever witnessed such an event, I would be very excited to tell everyone I know. However, I have only shared it with my wife and my daughter. This is where the psychologically part comes in. I’m 59 years old. never had I witnessed something like this. Not even on T.V. It was 11:00 pm. I was closing up the house getting ready to bed and I saw it from my kitchen window in the western sky.A very, very bright white light. I went outside on my driveway and observed it for several minutes. It went to the north and the back to the south several times. Seemingly not at a blind speed but faster than any aircraft that flies in these areas. It hovered for awhile and then it dawned on me to go in and get my cell phone to record, and I did. I filmed it for awhile then it burst into a orange circle of light rotating counter clockwise..pulsing all the while. It had in the center what seemed to be a more solid shape or object. It really isn’t well defined. It did that for awhile before it went back to it’s original shape. Hovered some more before it was joined by another and then the both disappeared over the tree tops. I wish not to send this video , however I am more than willing to share it in person.I’m still a bit shaken about what transpired. If only I had some bit of clarification on what I truly saw, I would feel more open to share it withe world. Even a video of something similar to what I described would be nice to view….I hope you understand,even sharing this with you almost took a week. regards, Dennis
