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

The report, as filed

I was driving home when from the corner of my eye I see a blue bright light moving fast accross the sky. At first I thought it was fireworks or something, but there was absolutely no noise at all. It just ended up disappearing. It scared me because when I saw it I thought it was coming towards me, but then I didn’t hear it crash or see were it went.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #137532). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

Parkville, MD

Small flashing greens lights seen moving across night sky. All moving about the speed of a typical aircraft, no sound, no abrupt movement, no trails, just blinking lights as if there were about 30 small aircraft all following the same path across the sky. Did not appear to fall from sky, merely lost sight as they got further away and became to faint to see.
