Sphere over New Windsor, MD

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

While walking outside to do farm chores just after dusk, I happened to look up at the sky, as I usually do, to look at the moon or passing aircraft. At that exact moment when I went to look back down a flash of white caught my eye and I saw 4 round balls glowing bright white, like a LED bulb in brightness. These lights were in a diagonal and were just above the horizon and shot straight down and disappeared. A house in the distance obscured whether they reached ground level. They appeared suddenly in a 4 orb pattern then extremely fast they went down and disappeared. I continued to see normal planes flying high with normal lights but this was definitely different. I have seen shooting stars and meteors, but this was completely different and larger. So in conclusion...4 bright lights in a diagonal line moving extremely fast downward at angle. Just after dusk. Looking at the southern sky. No clouds, no storms, no lightning. Just regular sky with passing airliner traffic and suddenly 4 bright round lights. Lasted 3 to 4 seconds at most. No time to even grab the phone for video. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. 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.
