Circle over Taneytown, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was sitting in my hot tub when I noticed 2 orange circles in the sky. The colors were constant and non-changing, and not blinking, etc. They were in a straight line. They appeared to come from the south and head north. I was facing west and got to observe them for about 5-7minutes. They did appear to be moving similar to the speed of a plane and in knowing the typical flight patterns near by I would guesstimate them to be 20-30k feet from the ground. Obviously, this could be completely off depending on their actual location, size, etc. I quickly grabbed my phone and took 2 pics and a small movie.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #121751). 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.

Three football shaped orange lights ,in a line, flew over at a high rate of speed .then about 10 seconds later a 4th one flew over. They were traveling south to north.they flew off in the distance then disappeared. They made no sound that i could hear. They seem to be flying lower then the usual air flights

I noticed that the stars didn’t seem right. There was an unusual pattern. ((NUFORC Note: Probably a star or planet? PD))
