Unknown over New Market, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I took my dog out to relieve herself at approx. 1 am on approx. 1/18/17 (I am a "night owl") and noticed, high up in the sky beyond the roofline of the line of townhouses in which my house is located (perhaps 300 feet or so up?), what appeared to be a group of bright green lights, four in total. I stood and watched and noted that: 1) the lights were bright green only (no other colors) and they were not flashing. 2) there was a total of four lights and they appeared to be on the perimeter of a round craft of some sort (?). 3) the "craft" was not moving; it stayed in the same place for all the time I was watching (5 mins.), and remained there as I went back in the house. I did not feel afraid, only curious and somewhat amazed by this sight. No *primordial* terror at all. Source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD

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.

I saw a bright white ball of light descend vertical at a rapid pace. The white light turned into a straight green line that shot away horizontally at a blinding speed, vanishing from sight in nearly an instant.
