Triangle over Preston, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
This report is written by the husband of the observer. I am writing this with her knowledge and given permission to distribute it to interested parties. Her name may not be used or given unless requested in person. On or about June 17, 2020, I saw a triangular-shaped object to the front of my car and slightly off to my left. My car was heading in a southerly direction. The time was about 2000hrs. I was just returning from fishing at my brother's pond. As I cleared a grove of woods and entered an area with fields on all sides, I saw a large solid triangular object moving very slowly in my direction. I slowed my car to a stop and rolled down my driver's side window. The flowing best describes what I saw: The object was triangular, grey-white in colour. From point to point it appeared to be about 120 feet long, moving at a speed of only several yards per minute. It’s height above me and toward my left was roughly 200 feet above the ground. It made no sound. I noticed it had a light on each tip of the triangle, when it momentarily flashed blue and did so again about five minutes later. It continued in the same general northerly direction until I stopped observing it approximately 15 minutes later. My wife also said during this time she saw a smaller object, a lot higher in altitude approaching the UFO from the opposite direction and then slowly circle around behind it and maintaining the approximate speed of the UFO. Yet she feels this was more of a traditional craft that seemed to be observing the UFO. Some additional information she mentioned in our conversation: She did not leave the car. The sky was totally clear, except for the object. The Wind was calm and never changed. There were no sounds coming from anything in nature. No reaction from nearby domestic herd animals. No changes in the car or electronics. She never thought of taking a picture with her cell phone, and does not understand why. She also has no idea why she did not tell anyone about this sighting for almost a week. And then, only mentioned it in passing conversation. She feels totally confident that she did see and experience this event.

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.

On August 1,2022 at 8:30pm myself and my son were driving on Harmony Rd. In the area of Grove Rd., Caroline County, Maryland. When I observed a bright orange light in the sky to the left of the vehicle. I pointed it out to my son. We then observed other lights materialize out of no where. I saw 4 of them in a formation in the shape of a W just hovering. We watched them for about 5-10 seconds when they faded out to nothing. I then observed a gray in color Blackhawk helicopter pass directly over the farm. I couldn’t tell if it was an army Blackhawk or a seahawk navy helicopter. I looked up on my flight tracker app and discovered that the helicopter did not have its transponder on.

I witnessed a "star" like light moving across the sky faster than any airplane and thought I was witnessing a meteor at first and called my daughter outside to see it. It then changed direction as it passed by what I believe is the North Star (brightest star in the sky this night) It changed from a north direction to a north west direction. As we watched it more it changed direction again to the west, then back to the direction I originally saw it come from. It traveled as I said pretty fast, much faster than a plane, then as it headed back to where I originally saw it, it seemed to just vanish, like it went from very fast to light speed or something. The light looked exactly like a dim star as you would see in the sky on any given night. No flashing, just a white solid light. It was very high up possibly in space even, made no sound as it passed over.

I saw a triangular object in the sky that appeared above me out of nowhere. It had red, blue and white flashing lights all around it, and it had a strange crest in the center of it. I could clearly see the shape of the craft closely resembled that of a stingray body. It hovered over my car for a few seconds and then it was gone in a flash of light. It didn't leave any type of smoke trail or exhaust, so I ruled out airplane and it didn't look anything like a personal aircraft or helicopter, so I am convinced that what I witnessed was a UFO.
