Sphere over Fallston, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Was at daughters Soccer practice in Fallston, MD, and noticed a bright looking object in the sky just after 7pm. Initially thinking it was a star, I thought it was unusually bright and then noticed it appeared to be moving. I pulled out my phone and started recording, and after zooming in, the object appeared as a white sphere on video that almost pulsated appeared to grow in size and shrink back down over seconds. This all appeared to be at a far distance. It moved gently to bouncing in no consistent pattern around the sky in a small vicinity. The Sphere then became hard to track and seemingly vanished and then a smaller black object appeared very close in the sky. It was either the same object or a second different object. Over the next few minutes the bright lighted object appeared and disappeared. Because of the distance they were easy to loose focus of, but then bright lighted UFO would prominently appear again. My second video featuring the Bright lighted UFO is ended after the object seemingly vanishes into a specific direction. There is a small local nearby airport geared for recreational flying, along with drones being used around the area. The movement and coloration allowed me to ration past these explanations for the object. I filmed 2 planes flying by very close to where I recorded the object as a reference. (At first, thinking the planes may be investigating, however not moving fast as a jet, making them seem recreational.)

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.

Bright green light suddenly appears in sky. Stops in the air. Then quickly descends to horizon line, before completely disappearing. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Had just laid down on the porch to sunbathe, when I looked up a saw a massive white cylinder that moved around the sky, like an etch a sketch. At times it would tip from side to side and then became a saucer. I watched it for 3 minutes til it shot off like a rocket toward Baltimore. 30 seconds later all the power went off in the home although there were no storms in the area. Outage lasted a few seconds.

It was pure white, and was very weirdly shaped. Some other object came out of it and it was way too small to be a plane. The ufo was just hovering it wasn't moving at all that I could see.
