Triangle over Fort Meade, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving South on 32 towards 95, I saw a triangular-shaped object with rectangle shaped lights that blinked. Maybe two lights at the top, three at the bottom. It appeared, to be in one area, then appear further down diagonally towards the left then zip very fast behind me. I was driving so I was unable to turn around to see where it went. Definitely was not a US Air craft! It was very fast, and shortly afterwards I had no GPS signal.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #131833). 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.
