Triangle over I-495 North (driving on), MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving along 495 North, saw a triangle shape craft against the early evening sky. There were 2 white lights on the two outer wings and a red light at the mid-point of the rectangle. The craft was descending slowly and was soon obscured by the tree tops. I also noticed a plane flying opposite (going the the left, away from the object). Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #125289). 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.
