Triangle over Chesapeake Bay (above; south of Annapolis), MD

The report, as filed

Traveling north on Route 50 at 21:00 at night on November 13, 2016, we witnessed three very bright lights holding in a triangle shape, far into the sky south of Annapolis, MD, over the Chesapeake Bay. The three lights were much brighter than the planes also in the sky and were not traveling in a particular direction. The lights were solid and not pulsating, at first. They were holding their triangle shape, but seemed to be rotating around a center point. Very faintly, there appeared to be a dark mass making up the space within the triangle the lights were forming, possibly the shape of the body of a craft. After about 10 minutes, one of the lights broke away from the other two and raced north at incredible speed, pulsated, dimmed, and completely faded from view. The other two lights remained together in the sky, rotating and moving in conjunction with each other. After another 10 minutes, those lights began to pulsate, as well. They moved apart in opposite directions, dimmed, and faded from view. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
