Unknown over Odenton, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I went back inside to get my wife. She came out and saw the lights too. The brightest of these lights were amazing. They looked connected. No sound at all and they never moved an inch. I looked through my binoculars but the light was so intense I could not make out what they were. I got in my vehicle to leave for work and looked back to the position of the lights..... Gone! As if someone clicked a switch and turned them off. This was not street lights. Really spooked 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.

About 12 am I saw a bright white sphere about the size of a tennis ball moving fast above the tree line flying horizontally without any noise. It then came toward me at same height and then turned and made a wide u turn and went back south in the direction it came from. It was moving fast about 30 seconds for the whole sighting.
