Maryland UFO Sightings in 2005

Full Report Text:

SAW FLYING OBJECT AND IT DISSAPPEARD RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES! I WAS USING THE RESTROOM AND HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AN AIRPLANE FLYING OVER. SO I JUST DECIDED TO GLANCE THROUGH THE BLINDS OF THE WINDOW TO TAKE A LOOK IN THE DIRECTION THAT I HEARD IT GOING IN. I DID NOT EXPECT TO SEE ANYTHING, BUT I SAW WHAT I THOUGHT WAS AN AIRPLANE, GOING NORTHWEST, THEN IT JUST DISAPPEARD! I IMMEDIATELY OPENED THE BATHROOM WINDOW TO GLANCE OUTSIDE TO SEE IF I HAD MISSED ANYTHING.

I STOOD STILL FOR QUITE A WHILE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. I DECIDED TO GO UP STAIRS AND WENT INTO MY SISTERS ROOM AND ASKED HER IF SHE HAD HEARD ANYTHING. SHE SAID THAT SHE HAD JUST HEARD AN AIRPLANE GOING BY.

ALL THIS TOOK PLACE WITH IN A PERIOD OF ABOUT 4-5 MINUTES. THE SIGHTING OF THE, WHATEVER IT WAS, TOOK PLACE OVER ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS. WHAT REALLY GETS ME IS THAT ABOUT THE SAME TIME THE NIGHT BEFORE MY MOTHER, A COUSIN, AND I HEARD WHAT SOUDNDED LIKE A JET PLANE FLYING EXTREAMLLY LOW OVER OUR HOUSE.

Small reflection moving at 45 degree angle. Not sure what this was, but for a couple of seconds, I saw something in the sky moving at a 45 degree angle. It was shiny.

If I had to describe what I looked like, If you break off a small piece of lead from a number 2 pencil, that's what I saw. You know, that color. It was not lit up and saw it almost as if a reflection for a moment.

What grabbed me instantly was the angle it was going. Pretty cool.

Green Fireball over Western Shore of Maryland A bright green fireball came from the south at a low altitude and arced across the sky from a southerly direction to a northerly direction. The object appeared in the uppermost part of our car windshield (we were at the top of a hill heading east within a half mile of and toward Chesapeake Bay. By leaning forward, I was able to follow its path until it abruptly disappeared shortly after appearing on the driver's side window of the car.

The fireball was bright grass green with a trail of pale green fading to lighter green to white light. The sighting lasted about 5 seconds. The driver did not look up fast enough to see it.

(the side windows are not tinted - this helped to confirm that the green color was not from the windshield) ((NUFORC Note: Possible meteor?? PD)).

Saucer shapped object with lights all around it in the sky in Annapolis There was a strange set of lights in the sky right above the tree line, that appeared to be moving slowly down (toward the earth). There was a light in the center and decreasingly smaller lights on either side of the center light obviously wrapping around what appeared to be a flying saucer. It sat still after I noticed it, then it slowly moved up and out of sight.

I've never in my life seen anything like it, I know it wasn't an airplane or a helicopter.

red lights, soundless, hover or move with blistering speed. This is only one of signtings of these craft my sister and I have seen on several occasions over the open farm land on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. We have begun to call them "The Sky Guys.

" They are out there nearly ever night. They appear to be bright red lights in the sky. They will move at blistering speed, then stop on a dime and stand still.

Then one or two will wander over, appear to dock, then in a heartbeat be miles away in another portion of the sky, where they will hover or slowly wander again. Usually there are eight to ten of them. Sometimes only one will appear.

Wish someone would check them out! They are totally and completely silent. My sister's car will frequently stall in the early mornings when she heads out when these things have been in the vicinity. ((NUFORC Note: If anyone else may have been witness to the lights the person reports here, we would welcome other reports for corroboration sake.

PD)).

I saw a moving lighting object in the sky from 9th floor balcony in Bethesda Maryland. A round white lighting spot over the clouds moving extremely fast in a circle in the sky, repeatedly for more than 3 hours. I spotted it around 22:30 and it is still there around 1 am.

((NUFORC Note: Advertising light?? PD)).

Full Report Text:

Five oval white and blue lights zooming (first in patterns then straight patterns) in the cloudy sky at dusk. Observed on a fully moonlight night just after dusk. It was very cloudy, but clouds were moving fast.

In the clouds, I observed (corner of right eye) five moving orbs of light in the cloudy part of the sky. I was driving. I stopped twice to figure out where they were coming from.

The patterns shifted from circluar to meet in the middle and zoom back out again. After I got to my destination, I watched for five more minutes. In this time, the oval lights stopped for a few seconds and started back in an odd pattern.

First they circled again, meeting in the middle and then three of the oval lights dissapeared. One of the two left became a blue light instead of white. They formed a chasing pattern throughout the edge of the clouds, zooming wildly back and forth but never leaving the clouds.

Eventually, they just stopped. I watch the skies repeatedly and I know where the beacons are in my hometown. These were no beacons, or stars, or planes.

Totally odd.

Telepathic Message? This is not a UFO report but more of an unknown. One evening after getting out of the shower I was standing in the bedroom looking for my PJ's when I felt a "pressure" in the room. Immediately after the pressure started I heard a foreign language in my head! As the pressure subsided the language ceased.

It felt like something had moved over my apartment building and I had picked up some kind of telepathic signal. I have told no one of this experience. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date is approximate.

White fireball over rural Northwestern Montgomery County. My friend and I was walking down a country road called Wasche Rd at nigh on Halloween. I looked up and saw a bright white flash stream across the sky that was much bigger than a shooting star, aircraft, or satellite.

It had a hazy aura around it. I am a Civil Air Patrol cadet and am very familliar with aircraft and have never seen one that makes no noise at what seemed to be a low altitude.

At about 8:30 EST on 10/31/05 Something lit up the sky and fell towards Earth as a fireball with a long firery trail behind it On 10/31/05 at approximately 20:30, we (my wife & I) spotted what looked like a large shooting star that came down from the South-Eastern sky really fast and hard but looked like it came down and hit the treeline. Approx. 10-15 minutes later at 20:45 another object hit the South-Eastern atmosphere and lit up the night sky (as if a big lightning storm), left fragmented "burning" pieces around in the sky then as the object came towards the ground it had a large firey trail behind it that took about 2 minutes to dispate even though the object had obviously come down and hit the ground a distance away.

At approx. 20:50 we spotted about 20 military helicopters flying in a semi-circular pattern above the general area that we were driving in and they were all maintaining a strict fixed line as if they were blanketing the whole area as to not miss anything. Having gotten home about 21:10 in Henderson, MD we called some friends and they too saw something like I just described- a trucker friend of mine saw it in Virgina and other truckers were reporting seeing in South Carolina, another friend saw it in North Carolina.

White ball shaped bright object whizzing across the holloween sky I was out trick or treating with my daughter and our neighbor and his daughter when we saw a bright white ball shaped light speed across the sky overhead. It was approximately 200 feet up and was traveling west to east, it didn't make any noise and after it crossed over us and it split into two and then the lights winked out. When it appeared I pointed it out to the my neighbor and all of the 30-50 people in our area trick or treating looked up and saw it as well.

There was a story about it on WTOPNEWS.com that stated that it was a meteorite, but the story mentioned an orange and blue object and gave a time of 9:15pm.

bright shiny silver cylinder shaped object 2 pm, irratic flying I was traviling home via car at 2p.m. traveling East on E.

Northern Pkwy (zip code 21206). This object was traveling in the sky from North to South. Aberdeen Proving Grounds is North of here off I-95 and what I saw had to be alien something or a military testing something.

At first I thought it was a plane or a helicopter, but I saw no wings or top or side propellers. It was very shiny, like silver chrome. I did a double take because it did not fly like an airplane or helicopter I have ever seen.

It had a flight pattern like a hummingbird does.I heard no sound (I had my car radio on). And it was like zip, zip gone.

I did not have to squint to see it but it was close enough to be rounded on the top and botton like a pipe that is placed horizontal.

solid triangle with white lights and no sound hovered and glided I am a senior -level executive at a major media company and I hesitated for several months to contact any organization regarding this siting because I was convinced that what I saw was a military aircraft. I first contacted the Center for UFO Studies in Chicago in 2006. I am reporting it here because I am still perplexed by what I saw.

It was a clear Fall evening in Silver Spring, Maryland and I was reading a book in my den. The window shades were pulled up and the windows were open because it was a relatively warm night. Above the treeline, I spotted what appeared to be a star or planet that seemed to be unusually bright.

I glanced at the object from time to time between reading the book and listening to my teenage kids who were home at the time. I grew slightly intrigued by the object because it appeared to be hovering while the other stars seemed fixed in there locations and an occassional plane would fly by in the distance. I thought it may have been a helicopter but the there were no red lights, blue lights or search beams that I associate with helicopters.

Downtown Silver Spring is an very urban area located 5 minutes from Washington, D.C., so helicopters are not an unusual sight at all.

The object disappeared below the tree line and re-appeared about two minutes later. I called my then 17-year old daughter and asked her to look out the window and tell me what she saw. Her first words were, "what in the world is that?" She stated that the lights were not like anything ahe had seen.

And, she was right. The lights were white but had a halo effect that seemed to indicate that they were pulsating. There was a slightly bluish tint to them also.

The object appeared to be 500 ft above ground level not even a quarter of a mile from the the house. For 25 minutes I watched it(my daughter did not want to watch it anymore)hover, glide horizontally, rise vertically, but never leave the area. Suddenly, it began to glide towards the house (I say glide because it was not flying like a helicopter or a plane.

) I called my father who lives six blocks away and asked him to go outside a look in the sky and tell me if he saw anything unusual. He said he wasn't sure but there were so many stars out that night. While I was talking to him the object glided above the corner lot located two houses from our house.

It then glided over my neighbors house at tree-level, probably not three hundred feet above ground. I was amazed at what I saw. It was a black triangle about 3/4 the size of a football field.

It was definitely a solid object. It made absolutely no sound at all. I know this because it passed over my roof while I was outside in my front yard.

Again, it was a very clear night. It then disappeared, I guess that is way I can describe it but I don't know. Let's just say that I could not see it anymore.

I called my newsroom and local stations. No reports had been received. The next day, I approaced my neighbor and before I could say anything she asked me if I had seen the object.

She stated that she had never seen anything like it and, in fact, she and her friend tried to follow it down our street but it vanished in the sky. Again, I have no idea what this object was, but it was an experience I will never forget. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate.

PD)).

Diamond shaped silent , low flying craft sighted near preston. Anyone else see it? We were driving home in the middle of nowhere when we looked up in the sky and saw 2 huge bright lights directly in front of my car. It was not moving at all and seemed to be very low to the ground.

I thought it was a ufo so I stopped the car and looked out my window to get a better view. As soon as i stopped the car the craft began moving, but at an extremely slow speed. It was making absolutely no sounds which was so wierd because of how low it was flying.

As is slowly passed directly over my car I could see that it was in the shape of a diamond with 4 bright lights, one on each corner, but i could not really see and structure in between them. As it moved past us to the east, with out any obvious changeover at all the light started moving in an oval shape very randomly. they were now red green and white and were very flashly.

In this way until it disappeared into the distance after about 10-15 minutes. Did anyone else see this??.

North of Ocean City Md on 9/29/05 white blinking light moved quickly north then returned and left again We (3) thought we were looking at a planet but it took off in a northeast direction after 20 minutes of viewing through binoculars. After and hour it came back and stayed 5 minutes then left again very quickly. I am at 39.

37 and 75.08 and it was east and north of me - over the ocean?? Very high (maybe like Polaris) and too far away to see clearly. White blinking light in a round shape without binoculars and white blinking with red, some blue blinking light with binoculars.

If it had not left that spot it would not have been unusual. Then to return and leave again definitely got our interest. Just before sunset, two Air Force fighter jets flew very low over our area following the coastline.

Not unusal because Dover AFB is an hour North of here but unusual that they were so low.

In parking lot walking to store, happened to look up and see black object cross from west to east and was turning point to point (sideways), example as if a pen or pencil is turned lengthwise and that's how it flew.

UFO SIGHTED IN ANNAPOLIS OVER WEST ST. I had just got in to my work and was talking to my boss, i work at a car dealership, and i was facing south and through one of the show room windows i saw a metal object that based on the low cloud level did not look to be that large, i would say it was not more then 30 feet long and it was maybe 13 feet in hight. so it was flying low, it looked just like the ones that are on tv or ones you see people take pictures of like a silver disk.

and it was not going that fast. no one else at my work saw it. but after like 4 seconds, in which i took a double take and realized what it was, it was masked by a building across the street and never reappeared.

i am reporting this in hopes that some one else saw it and will report it ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Full Report Text:

strange dark shape changing object with an "aura" Single dark object appearing to continuously change shape, such that it looked to be almost "tumbling" slowly and in a straight direction of travel. A random glint of light could occasionally be seen as well, like an intermittent reflection of sunlight which added to the tumbling appearance. With clear blue skies the object itself was clearly visible but impossible to say at what height.

Adding to the strange appearance was a ring of "distortion" around the object in an area several times larger than the object itself. This distorted area looked similar to the effect of heat radiating in the distance off a hot road, except that it had a distinct "swirling" pattern seemingly generated by the object.

Two distant shapes going west Two friends and I were sitting in my back yard looking at the sunset on friday, sept 2, 2005. I diverted my eyes momentarily and two objects in the southward sky had caught the glare of the sunset. That is how i know they were metallic.

They were very far off, possibly far enough to be in orbit, moving quickly due west at a uniform pace. They looked higher than i had ever seen a plane, but lower than i had ever seen an artificial satellite. I noticed the one to the rear first, and whether it was perspective or size, the one in the lead appeared smaller, yet moving at the same pace and appearing to be the same (MAYBE) cylindrical shape.

The male friend of mine suggested that it was the international space station. I do not know, but a similar report given several years ago convinced me to put one in myself.
