Oval over Baltimore Highlands, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving home from work at around 7:45-8pm, saw three roundish objects in the sky. They were orangish in color. At first thought it could be those lanterns people light and send up into the air, but these things did not move. Two were closer together and one was by itself, but they were all in the same vicinity of each other. I could not get a picture since I was driving. They were hovering over I-295 S, just after you come off of the ramp from I-895 S. I never saw them before that night and I haven’t seen them after.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #143592). 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.
