Circle over Lutherville-Timonium, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I ran in to grab my phone to take photos but the phone died even though I had just charged it. The same thing happened this time when I tried to record. About ten mins later, six lights slowly emerged one by one in a uniform line and crossed over the Farm land. It looked like a tent shape form was hanging from the light. They just hovered over the land. So I grabbed my flashlight and shined it at the lights. One then started moving toward my house. When I stopped shiner my flashlight the one retreated back in line with the others. Then they just seemed to disappear one by one after 50 mins.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #139166). 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.
