Oval over Pikesville, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
01/17/15 Between 3:15am to 3:27am Woke up to a loud noise outside of my window. At first thought it was the television, but when I muted the tv, realized it was outside. Sounded like an aircraft of some type. When I looked out the window, saw some type of large aircraft hovering (50 feet?) directly above my apartment townhouse building. From my vantage point had multiple green and red alternating flashing lights. The green lights were flashing like a triangle. Hovered for possibly five minutes, then slowly flew away eastbound. The shape above appeared to be oblong, but as it flew away, it looked more like a cylinder with white flashing lights. Took a picture with my cell phone while it was moving away, but appears blurry and somewhat different from what I actually saw.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #116796). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.

Round circular object flying in air, too big to be ballon, moved at a moderate speed. Never have seen an object flying in the air such as this. Most def was not a plane or helicopter, or any type of balloon.

I was on my balcony as I am every night. I happened to look up and see an orange ball of light.I watched it for about 15 seconds and I noticed it was moving very fast across the sky. About 5-15 seconds later, the object just stopped. As it moved, it went from orange to yellow to bright red. It didn't slow don't it just stopped for about 5 sec. count... one one thousand 2 one thousand. This is what all times are based off of. Then it took off again and about 3-5 sec later it stopped for about 5 sec and did this about 4-5 time until it disappeared. Off to the right. No explosion or did it ever descend, it just disappeared. Also I saw no blinking lights like an aircraft! Look, if you are really reading this, I swear this is what I saw. Very confusing to me! Believe what you want but this was real. Do I believe the are aliens from other world. Yes, I would have to be an idiot not to believe. Do I really believe in what I saw YES! I will take a lie detector to! prove it!

I was walking my dog in the rear of my home, when my motion detectors came on. I looked up towards the lights and noticed a line of moving objects coming over the trees. I stared at them and ran to get my son. We witnessed these flying, orange glowing objects, first flying in a line formation and then, as they climbed higher, they changed formation again. They disappeared, one by one into the clouds. There was six separate object.
