SIGHTING: CUMBERLAND, MD

Witness Testimony

" A bright v shaped stationary object in the northwest night sky.I heard a helicopter flying low over my house and went out to see what was going on. I saw the helicopter and then noticed a bright v-shaped light/object in the northwest sky, around 30 degrees above the mountains. It appeared to be emitting light beneath it. I viewed it from several locations in my yard and it looked the same. I got my son (20) and wife and they also saw it. It was brighter and twice as big as anything else I could see. I went inside after about 20 minutes and looked online to see if anyone else was reporting it. I went out about 10 minutes later and it was gone, although a bright star that was under and to the right of it was still visible.((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.
