Egg over Mt. Airy, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Between 11:45pm and 12:10am, I saw outside my window a strange formation of lights, appeared to be in an egg shape, very, very bright white lights, seemed to be moving together in some king of formation, although, the lights seemed to separate and rejoin periodically. The lights were behind some very think trees in my yard, and at one point, about 5 of 12 midnight started to move towards my house, and light got brighter. I became frightened, and tried to call my daughter, but she didn't answer the phone. Then the lights backed away from my house a little bit. At that point I videotape the craft which seemed to be moving erratically, and then shot straight up and disappeared into the dark sky.

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 large orange and black shaped ball that was in the same spot for two to three minutes. Ran inside and got my camera and took a picture from the deck. Went to the ground to take a second picture and it disappeared into thin air. It was almost see through but bright and vibrant with a black haze covering it. Too big to be a blood moon or planet. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
