Circle over Severn, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I came outside into the back yard. Very clear night. I glanced up in the sky and immediately noticed a string of round white lights slowly flying over. One behind the other. No sound. They looked like stars. Uniform in size. There were 25-30.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #155886). 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.

Four lights moving silently and slowly in a straight line then arching line. One light or object split off and went southward and disappeared, the other 3 lights remained moving slowly forward then hovering. One of the 3 moved downwards from the line to form a triangular shape. They stayed glowing there for a few seconds then it moved southwest and disappeared, the other two remained and then moved slowly forward, then disappeared completely.

Orange craft, higher than most airplanes flying to BWI. No trail, disappeared into a cloud, never re-emerged. No sound emanating from craft. Not fast moving, but not slow either. No lights other than solid orange, no beams, no haze.
