Light over Forest Hill, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Around 23:00, my boyfriend and I noticed a very bright “star” appearing object out my window. This object was significantly bigger and brighter than all of the stars around it. It was also emitting a spectrum of colors and was changing. It appeared similar in shape to an asterisk with clear lines of light being emitted from all points. As this report sounds similar to a Star, we used two different sky map apps to determine which star. Although Sirius is close in sky to where this object was, you could see Sirius to the left. In order to further investigate, we checked the stars again this evening around the same time and did not see the same object in the position which further proved the object was not a star. Of note, I am in the medical field and am very scientific minded. My boyfriend has a background in electronic media and math. This being said, we are both objective people who rule out common things prior to jumping to the conclusion of UFO.

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.

I noticed the bright lights in the sky that appeared to be stationary for approximately 10 minutes. After that time the object started to move across my field of view. Once the object went by the back of the object had four lights on it that appeared to slowly dim and then brighten back up separately. The object appear to do a 180° flip while moving forward and stayed like that.

My father and I were driving home. It was dark. There was a green light that suddenly moved very fast downwards. It was wide and VERY fast. We came over a hill and on the ground we saw a tall object with flashing orange, red, blue, and yellow lights. These led to a flashing green light close to thae ground. We left and returned about 20 minutes later. The lights were gone. We could not tell if the ship was. We circled down a back road to see the back of the house. From there we could see a pulsing green light. As we left a massive military jet flew over head. We belive the military was searching for the craft. Possible hoax, we suspect.
