Sphere over Dundalk, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Observed 6 red lights in a 45 degree pattern moving from east to northeast. After a couple minutes, two other lights appeared in sync with the speed and alignment of the other aircraft. After roughly 5 minutes, the lights went out one by one after reaching the same location in the sky. Also observed a spotlight in the same direction for three days leading up to the sighting. It was definitely not being sent from the ground. It appeared as on the edge of a disc. I would see appx 180% of light, then nothing. Then the cycle would repeat. This went on for about 10 minutes each night.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #161975). 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.

Was looking out the right side of the plane window when an object that looked like a drone appeared to come from beneath the aircraft hovered at the window and then took off away from the plane. It had 1 red light on it! It only had red lights on it myself and three other people saw this and another person asked if anybody else has seen the UFO. I said I saw something that looked like a drone and the partner in the next seat said we’re up 20,000 feet it can’t be a drone. I asked the captain when we got off the plane if he saw it he just laughed and said no I didn’t see anything.

Driving from dundalk to Towson on I695 west. Saw what looked like small lightening bolts. They blinked not all at once. But each was separate. They reminded me of tracer bullets. I was driving on 695 so couldn't stop. Should have. Then they all disappeared into the clouds. This lasted a few minutes

Observed a single light hovering in the eastern hemisphere. It lingered for about 2 minutes before finally moving northeast until it disappeared from sight.

On Halloween night at 8:00, I was standing on my balcony and witnessed 6 red lights arranged at a 45 degree angle moving slowly from East to NorthEast. After a minute or so, two other crafts fell right into place at the back of the line. As they reached a certain section of the sky, they simply faded away one by one until they were finally gone.
