Formation over Frederick, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I couldn't sleep. I had too many thoughts about starting my garden. I was in bed right by the window. Even though the blinds were mostly shut, I could see a tremendous beam of light very close and part of a vehicle or hovering device that had shades of blue in the shape of like a transformer, or cubicles attached to one another. It made no noise. It hovered with beam seemingly targeted toward my house or my window. I froze, I had my phone about to call my son in another room. I remember giving an affirmation that no one is taking me. Before you know it it just disappeared sideways and I ran to my son's room and told him I was frightened as to what occurred. Of course he thought I had dreamed it, that I probably fell asleep and I said I rarely remember dreams and I couldn't sleep. I had too many thoughts about starting my garden.

Of course he thought I had dreamed it, that I probably fell asleep and I said I rarely remember dreams and this was so vivid. In all my years of being on this earth I had never been so frightened as to have to go to my son's room and had him hold me. Earlier about an hour prior to this incident I happened to observe a bright star go dim, fade and then go bright again. For a moment I thought maybe this was connected. That maybe it wasn't a star; maybe I was observed and then this thing just zoomed down out of nowhere. Whatever it was, perhaps a vision of a A vehicle instead of a vision of an angel, I certainly wasn't looking for it and it was very real to me.

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.

Sunny and cloudy, fair weather background. As mentioned, there was an object gaining speed on a low flying medium sized plane which was probably a mile away from us. Once we got a good look at the plane, we noticed the oval object catching up to it. The UFO seemed to have a very resolute and direct flight path compared to the plane, meaning it was not another plane, it was not a glider and it was not a large bird. After the object caught up and flew a few hundred feet under the plane, it changed directions and shot off southeast and completely disappeared. My friend and I talked through what it could have been, but we quickly agreed it had to be a UFO. We wish we took a video or were closer, but we were just mesmerized by what we were witnessing.

Last night a UFO may have flown over my house, I saw it this morning when I looked at the video from my front door surveillance camera, which has a microphone, which is my habit. The whole incident lasted about 5-6 seconds; please see the attached video, and please notice the bright light(s) seemingly reflecting off the roofs of my neighbor's cars in the video on the lower far end and to the right on the other side of the field in front of my house as independent confirmation of the object. If I did not capture it on video, I would not have believed my own eyes. I am unsure if the lights are a reflection or if the object momentarily activated my neighbor's driveway security lights as it flew overhead. Still, it seemed to have been about the size of a helicopter, cigar-shaped, and moved at extreme speed with a slight path alteration in mid-screen and left a trail of some sort behind it (dew point condensation?) as it traveled across the sky. I wonder if anyone else picked this object up on their door cameras as it flew in an SW-to-NE direction across Frederick. I just submitted this report to the MUFON organization: "I caught the video on my ring video, which is set up to detect motion; the object was high-speed, changed direction slightly while in flight, and did not make a sound as it traveled a distance of over a mile in less than 5 seconds. I am not sure, but there seems to have been a bright reflection on the roofs of cars approximately 400 feet from me as the object passed overhead, which gives credence to this being a physical object that was giving off intense light and rapidly changing direction as it flew over my house early this morning. Please see the attached video." The object may have triggered my neighbors driveway security lights.

I saw a black object hovering in the daytime sky over Frederick, MD. It appeared in between clouds and seemed to briefly disappear behind one, then reappear. Hovered or moved slowly. Using binoculars, I could see it was strangely shaped, sort of squarish with protrusions (not wings). I had already observed numerous birds, jets with entrails, and planes and it was not any of those. I looked online for possible satellites or ISS in my area and I didn't see those listed. I also tried to see if there were any other reports of a sighting but did not find any.

We were driving on our country road with very open area sky above a golf course, there aren’t any street lights in the area. The sky was slightly cloudy and dark without any visible stars. We saw two lights appear together out of nowhere high in the sky and descend in unison with an extreme rate of speed and then blacked out at eye level, it lasted approximately three seconds.
