SIGHTING: BALTIMORE, MD

Witness Testimony

" Was camping out, and saw a bright object standing still, then moved randomly at extreme speeds, changing direction and velocity.I was camping overnight during summer camp in tents. I got out of my tent in the middle of the night to look at the stars, and noticed a brighter object near the horizon. It looked just like a planet, but brighter, so I originally thought it was Venus, until it moved towards me quickly. I thought it could have been a shooting star, until it sped at great speeds right over me, sometimes slowing down, in a zig-zag motion. Then, when it was around 2/3 of the sky, I heard a VERY loud sonic boom, followed by an explainable sound. It was like a plane, but higher pitched, mixed in with a siren. It quickly disappeared in seconds. Clearly, it was traveling at extreme speeds, and only about a few miles above the ground. This happened around Baltimore. I was surprised to notice that no one woke up. My father had also experienced a very similar event many years ago, only the object was too far away to hear. "
