Circle over Cambridge, MD

The report, as filed

After dinner, I had sat down on my couch to turn my television on and heard a noise that sounded like a “train” coming through. When it got closer, I had jumped up to look out my window because in that time frame I’m in a panic with how obnoxiously loud the sound was, as if something were about to crash on the side of my apt building. When I looked outside my sliding glass doors, there was a large circular object with a range of 15-30 different colorful lights that were in a round shape. Very close in range to my apt. Within feet above the tree that is across the street from me. When it had left, it came back but seemed to make its way back in the shape of a V. When I went to open my camera, my phone froze. I later realized that the photo taken from my phone had partially caught the object on camera (although blurry) still very visible.
