Hello, and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode, we're talking about a Maryland UFO roundup.
That's correct, a Maryland UFO roundup.
Now, I'm going to be really honest here and tell you that I
really had to scratch around to find some interesting sightings.
Maryland kind of was a little bit of a let down on some of the
normal sources about putting some really cool settings out
there. But I'm not trying to insult
anybody. But boy, we could use your help
if you're in Maryland and you want to report those sightings
that you see. Because it seems like not a lot
of folks do. Now.
This first article comes to us from marylandmatters.org written
by Deb Belt. The the date on it was June
26th, 2019. It says 20 UFO sightings
reported in state during 2019 so far.
And then she begins by saying UFOs, and the notion that aliens
from another Galaxy could be sending emissaries to check
things out on planet Earth have captivated Americans for
decades. Navy pilots recently spoke of
seeing mysterious objects with no discernible engine or exhaust
fumes flying a hypersonic speeds, which brought the
phenomena back into the headlines.
She says there are several dozen reports of UFOs filed every year
In Maryland. So far, there have been 20
reports of unexplained things in the night sky, according to the
National UFO Reporting Center. The most recent report was made
June 13th in Cattensville by a couple who noticed a large
triangle craft with several bright lights lying, the wings
flying over the tree line. The craft flew silently and was
around 2 football fields in length from wing to wing.
That's enormous. President Trump recently said he
was briefed on UFOs. A group of U.S.
Senate lawmakers received a classified briefing on June 19th
about such objects. Remember, this is 2019 in June.
Remember how things were starting to gain a little bit of
momentum back then toward disclosure?
And then remember what happened about 5-6 months later and the
whole UFO thing, which is kind of put on the back burner.
US Senator Mark Warner, Democrat Virginia, wants answers on UFOs,
whether it's weather balloons, little green men or something
else entirely, Rachel Cohen, a spokeswoman, told CNN.
And the Navy has drafted guidelines to allow pilots to
report UFOs and so that the military can track them through
the military branch, though the military branch prefers not to
use the term UFO. Yeah, they like to control the
verbiage. We know that.
So we don't actually use that term.
Joseph Gratisher, A spokesman for the deputy chief of naval
operations for information warfare Filter patch.
We use unmanned aerial system. Yeah, one thing today, another
thing tomorrow. The term is shortened to UAS.
Refers to things like recreational flying, drones
people can buy at a store, or of the other things that the Navy
uses the term UAP, meaning unidentified aerial phenomena.
We constitute anything unknown or unidentified in the airspace
as an unidentified aerial phenomena, no matter what it is,
he said. Well, a lot of people would
argue that there's a difference between a phenomena and an
object, and it seems to a lot of people that they're just trying
to borrow the terms. Here we constitute anything
unknown or unidentified, and the airspace is an unidentified air
phenomenon, no matter what he it is, he said.
And that spirit patch took a peek at the most recent UFO
sightings in Maryland. Or UAP if you prefer, using a
database compiled by the National UFO Reporting Center.
Spoiler alert. So far no little green men have
been seen running around. And then it gives you some
places where they've seen him out here, Lithuan June 1st says
summary driving. I have to warn you ahead of
time, I don't think these have been edited, so sometimes
there's some mistakes that we'll have to kind of stumble through.
Summary, Driving with four people in the car on Route 4 saw
large triangular triangle object flying low with lights on each
corner. Trees were in the way for about
10 seconds and then it disappeared.
The sky wasn't quite dark all the way and the object was very
obvious. After object disappeared, we've
seen numerous airplanes flying in a grid pattern as if they
were looking for it happened too fast to be able to capture an
image or video. We honestly were all in shock.
So clearly they saw this large triangular UFO object and then
after it disappeared, they saw planes are possibly looking for
it. It says it lasted about two
minutes. Here's one in it looks like
Hebron, MD, April 27th says. I think it lasted about 15
minutes. Summary Four of us adults
observed 5 unidentified craft in the sky.
The craft appeared to be Oval in shape.
They were balls of light. They were opaque in color.
They appeared fuzzy and not bright, yet they were lit up.
They started out as three craft that were doing maneuvers in a
synced motion in the sky. These craft appeared to be
zooming back and forth at very high speed in the sky.
They were going from a S to north direction and then from
north to South. Then they would go from east to
West and West to east and they would circle amidst each other.
These craft and lights made no noise.
These lights circle each other. They were making crisscross
patterns. Then they'd fly directly above
our heads making maneuvers. They were just all over the
place, it sounds like. Here's one from Forest Hill, MD,
March 11th. Looks like it lasted an hour,
around 2300 I guess. What?
11:00 PM My boyfriend and I noticed a very bright star
appearing object out of my window.
This object was significantly bigger and brighter than all of
the stars around it. It was also emitting a spectrum
of colors and was changing. It appeared similar to it
appeared similar in shape to an asterisk, with clear lines of
light being emitted from all points.
As this report sounds similar to a star, we use two different sky
map apps to determine which star.
Although Sirius is close in the sky to where this object was,
you could see Sirius to the left.
Of note, I am the I am in the medical field and I'm very
scientific minded. I think they mean scientifically
minded my boyfriend what has a background in electronic media
and math. This being said, we are both
objective people who rule out common things prior to jumping
to the conclusion of UFO. Well, you know, all kinds of
people see these things and you don't have to prove to me that
you're an objective person when you report a UFOI mean, I'm just
going to take your word for it. You saw what you saw.
According to data compiled by the center, there were nearly
500 sightings across the country in May, more than 300 January,
March and April. The Navy seems convinced of the
existence of UF OS telling political In a statement there
were reports of unauthorized and or unidentified craft entering
various military controlled ranges and designated airspace
in recent years. So they tell you that now.
But if it at the hearings they tell you oh nothing to see here
look away for safety and security concerns.
The Navy and the US Air Force takes these reports very
seriously and investigates each and every report, the statement
said. And it goes on talks a little
bit about Ryan Graves and the the UFO that he saw but these
things are being seen all over the place and Maryland is just
it's no exception. Now if I go here to the UFO
sightingsusa.com site, which we use this all the time on these
UFO writer reports, it tells us that there were 17194 officially
reported UFO sightings in Maryland from 1969 to 2023.
Maryland ranks #25 and reported sightings adjusted for
population. Maryland ranks #44.
So that's kind of down there on the list for you know the number
of people who actually report. Baltimore says has 170
sightings. Ocean City 51.
Annapolis 51. Hagerstown 47.
Rockville, MD 41 most commonly reported UFO is light.
October is the most popular month with about 11%.
Saturday is the most popular day.
September 19th, 2009 is a single date with the most UFO sightings
reported at 7 reports and it says 2014 had 148 reports and
sightings occur most often between 8:00 and midnight.
Now I do have some sightings here that we can take a look at.
This first one comes to us from Arnold MD 9723.
It says I've seen this before, a light behaving strangely in the
sky. I was taking out the recycling
bin when I happened to look up. What I saw was something I had
seen before. Conventional technology can't
explain this. I witnessed a bright light
resembling a star moving quickly, making a 90° turn
without slowing down. That qualifies as a UFO.
Yeah, well, they're making 90° turns without slowing down.
Absolutely UFO, not a phenomena, an object.
Germantown, MD says 9/4/23 9:00 PM.
UFO shaped diamond lasted and then it says it's still here.
Above. All objects have a light blue
collar and a triangular shape with three distinct lights, so
it sounds like he's seeing multiple objects.
This is from Grambles Gambrills MD 9/3/23 9:25 PM.
UFO shaped fireball lasted 2 seconds.
We saw a bright white and blue light with a very long bright
tail emitting sparks resembling A fireball.
The tail reached as high as a plane and there was no noise.
Initially we thought it was a firework, but then we realized
it was too high and we didn't hear it go off.
That could be a meteorite, I don't know, but without seeing
it, but you know they're out there.
Ocean City MD 9/3/23 8:50 PM UFO shaped light.
I was on my boat and I saw one light moving that was not a
plane because there were no flashing lights.
I was looking at the stars when I noticed a light moving very
fast. Initially I thought it was a
plane, but then I realized it disappeared and didn't have a
red and green light on each side or flashing.
It almost looked like it was camouflaging as a star.
Yeah, I wonder about that too with these things sometimes if
they aren't camouflaging of stars.
This one here is from Columbia MD 8/31/23 4:30 PM info Shaped
circle lasted 20 seconds. I saw two bright white objects
falling toward each other and then they just disappeared after
15 seconds. Two bright light objects falling
one another In Sync. I watched for about 20 seconds
before they disappeared. Yeah, it's cool when you see
them in pairs like that. Parked in Maryland 8/26/23 7:43
PM. UFO shaped circle lasted 3
minutes. I was driving through Mount
Carmel Rd. and parked in and saw an unidentified object.
While driving home on Mount Carmel Rd. and parked in I
noticed a strange object flying very quickly near the moon.
I was very confused because it couldn't be a plane.
It was so high up next to the moon and was flying away
rapidly. Weird.
Weird how sometimes these things are like almost like they're
using the moon as some sort of distraction.
Now remember, I did. Let's say I think that I had to
go ahead and edit a couple of these just to make it easier to
read, but I'm going to continue here.
Laurel, MD 8/10/23 8:19 PM UFO shaped circle.
I saw four green dots in the sky arranged in a plus shape, moving
in a circular motion. Suddenly they zoomed away at a
speed too fast to be drones. I was just looking out my window
from my bedroom and by the way, my window was open with no
screen. The four green dots formed A+
shape as they moved around and then I observed them rapidly
zooming off at probably 200 mile an hour, a speed that was too
fast for a drone I'm thinking so.
Ocean City, MD 8/7/23 10:56 PM. UFO shaped light lasted about 8
seconds. A light traveled horizontally at
high speed beneath and through the lower part of the nearby
thunderstorm clouds. A close friend, a professional
photographer, and I, retired police officer, were on the
balcony of a condo we had rented with our mates in Ocean City,
MD, while severe thunderstorms were advancing a little further
W toward the mainland. I was filming the sky with my
Galaxy S22, helping to capture beautiful flashes while my
friend was taking pictures with his professional camera.
For the same reason, I took 7 short videos spread over 20
minutes, mainly observing the image on my mobile screen until
the worst of the storm had passed.
Back inside the condo, I quickly reviewed the footage looking for
fines that would have dazzled me.
However, from my very small room nothing too exciting emerges,
especially compared to the photos taken by my friend.
Yet watching the very end of my last video, I initially thought
I saw a tiny light moving quickly from north to South.
Upon closer inspection, I showed this to my friend.
I then transferred the video to my laptop, which although old,
had a 13 1/2 inch screen wider than that on my S22.
However, its poor resolution did not allow for the distinction of
a constant or even solid object. Neither of us had noticed a
stealthy passage of this phenomena as as no sound
accompanying it. My friends photos could not
cooperate what we had recorded on my mobile as he had already
started putting away his equipment shortly before I set
up at the last video. We plan to take a look closer
look once back home in Quebec on my 55 inch TV.
The image quality enabled a better observation of this white
light which seemed to touch the cloud base estimated to be
between 1000 and 1500 feet above sea level.
It's sometimes penetrated the cloud clouds then reappeared
further here and there. I cannot confirm how far it
would have been visible in the sky, as I had ended my video
before it reached the end of my field of vision to the South.
We ruled out the possibility of an airplane give us high
velocity, which we estimated about 2000 mph, the absence of
sound in the usual position lights.
Additionally, it moved near the severe thunderstorm while
tornado alert was in focus. That would also be surprising.
If a meteorite moved horizontally at such a low
altitude, it could be a projector's light.
We didn't see anything during this week and no ray seemed
apparent, but we can't exclude this possibility.
Now I went ahead and watched the video.
It looks like it could be a meteorite to me, I don't know.
But at the very end of the video though, it there looks like
there's some movement in it, like up and down, like meteorite
wouldn't do that. And I don't know if that's from
the clouds moving. So it's just kind of an optical
illusion of what it is. But as far as these meteorites
being seen near the horizon line, that's I think unusual but
not impossible. I remember years ago, a friend
and I were coming home late at night and there was a big one
that I found out later was like hundreds of miles away.
But it was a fireball basically blue-green fireball went zipping
across the horizon and it it was very close to the horizon, of
course, because it was so far away.
That's just the way that's how these things appear.
But either way, it's good to report it because we can always
check on meteorites. Usually they have records of
those, but this was the photographer on This is great.
And that's the most important part of the story, is that
people are seeing things and they're recording those things
and they're sharing them with them.
Now, this may not be a meteorite.
It might be something different. So yeah, great that he reported
that. Great that we had that video and
you know, it's there. And people with a lot more
expertise than me can take a look at this thing and make up
their own mind. Very cool.
OK. This is from Baltimore, MD, says
852. Watch the three in the middle
from a triangle. We were out back celebrating
when I noticed some bright lights in the sky.
I started recording because I didn't think they were stars, as
most people believed. I usually look at the sky at
night and had never seen those before, especially since they
were moving slowly across the sky.
I counted at least 10 lights. Three in the front in a somewhat
in a somewhat of a line, three in the middle forming a
triangle, two in the rear space a little further apart, and two
small ones blinking overhead. Wow, just a bunch of them.
That's just 9:28 PM. UFO shape light lasted 29
seconds. This is from Baltimore, MD dated
8/5/23 9:15 PM. It says saw nine lights, started
a line, then three sets formed triangle formations, then back
to the straight line. Sitting outside after an event,
I looked up and saw several lights.
Not blinking, not flying like any aircraft or drone.
There were no sounds. The lights went in loose
straight lines formation. Then the first three formed a
tight triangle, followed by the next two sets of three.
Afterward they started to go back into a loose straight line
again. Before I lost sight of them.
Several witnesses were present and maybe one of them got a
video, but I'm not sure. Just crazy how these things are
forming these big formations and forming, you know, shapes and
then lines and then fading in and out.
Really something Damascus, MD. It says 8/4/23, 11:45 PM UFO
shape. Orbit lasted one minute or so.
It started out as a bright light, as a bright orbit light
in the distance. But as it got closer the sound
changed from a normal plane to that of a warplane with a vacuum
like noise. My friend grabbed my arm as we
were outside our home smoking, and pointed out a bright orb in
the sky. It seemed to hover and then
suddenly approached us, resembling some kind of a wild
bomber plane. The remarkable part was that it
didn't sound like a normal plane.
It had a distinct sound of a vacuum.
I guess he means it was roaring. It was a spectacular mind
blowing sight to see to see. Interesting.
Rockville, MD, July 10th 2023 8:00 PM Info shaped orb lasted
30 seconds. Orb flying strangely in the
distance, A white colored orb with a very light bluish tint.
The light had the same color as a car headlight On newer cars.
It did not seem to fly faster than planes, but move strangely.
The best way I can describe it is as if someone were slowly
moving a computer mouse and that orb was the cursor.
Eventually the orb dim that I couldn't see it, but it looked
like it was. It was about to ascend before
completely dimming. It couldn't be a drone.
I can tell because of how fast and strangely it moved.
Went behind clouds. No way.
It was a regular plane, not a satellite.
Maybe a helicopter. That's even if perhaps some
military attack. There's a decent amount of air
traffic in the same area, but most planes don't fly like that.
Unfortunately, No pictures. My phone was upstairs.
Sorry. I know I didn't get my phone.
After I vanished to check the direction, I saw the UPA was
exactly 0° N again, It sounds like you have one of these UFOs
over an airplane or over an airport.
They just seem fascinated with airplanes.
Brunswick, MD. It says 7/4/23 9:35 PM.
UFO shaped formation lasted 2 to 3 minutes.
Quick moving lights and synchronization.
No sound or trails. Disappeared and reappeared on
the walk to the apartment. Objects changed colors a lot.
Quick moving bright lines In Sync with no sounds at all and
flashing different colors. This occurred during fireworks,
but it was very easy to tell. It wasn't fireworks, nor a plane
or helicopters in formation. Multiple witnesses observed it.
The lights disappeared and reappeared within minutes on the
walk to the apartment. It seemed to change speeds a
bit, but not a lot. The objects also seemed fairly
close, but not extremely high, but still smaller than known
aircraft. The flight pattern was so
consistent between the two lights that I truly don't
believe they were drones being flown, as the line between the
two was absolutely perfect and did not change all during the
night. Well, who's going to be out
there just randomly flying drones and patterns like this?
I mean come on Rockville, MD. It says this is 6/1/23.
It looks like UFO shaped triangle after 5 minutes
hovering above the Rockville Pike Pike triangle shape.
UFO hovering around Rockville Pike, Norbeck Rd.
Veers Mill Rd. No sound.
So there they have another one of these triangle shape UFOs.
No sound. Really weird stuff.
They've got a couple more on here.
This one here says Easton, MD. A string of lights moves
simultaneously across the sky. It witnessed up to 8 bright
lights in a single row, simultaneously moved across the
sky for approximately 6 to 8 seconds, headed north, then look
to appear to jet off into the night sky.
That's from May 4th 2023. Look, I would normally think
that those were satellites, but he says that they appear to jet
off into the night sky. Maybe we have these UFOs just,
you know, trying to camouflage themselves as satellites.
Who knows? This is Baltimore, MD.
It says hovering bright lights, unusual, very bright lights
hovering northeast and southwest of 1100 block North Central
dated 4/20/23 8:43. Wow, just hovering these or lots
of reported ORB sites we see here.
They've got lights, circles, triangles, unknown disk, sphere,
fireball over formation, cigars. Just about every kind of typical
UFO sighting you can imagine. They've got it there in
Maryland. Now, if we could just get these
guys to make a few more reports, that would be perfect.
And I'll finish up here. This is from usatoday.com.
It says nearly 2000 reports of UFO sightings surface ranging
from orbs, disk and fireballs. And this is by Anthony Rebela,
USA TODAY dated October 4th, 2023.
So this is another one of these articles that they've kind of
done in response to these congressional hearings that have
been happening, which is good, at least it gets it out there.
But it says almost 2000 people have spotted unidentifiable
flying objects. He could just say UFOs and
Maryland skies according to reports shared by the by
National UFO Reporting Center in New Fork.
And he goes on talks about a few of these cases.
It has one here from Cookiesville, Maryland, it says.
Another report described spotting a Chevron like craft in
Cookiesville, Maryland that appeared to be close to the
ground with two faint circular lights on both wings, but
without a visible light bulb. Now that's odd.
Here's one from it, says Rockville.
A separate report with a photo from Rockville, MD, also said
someone saw at UAP in the evening sky that appeared to be
relatively low to the sky. Saw this weird flying saucer
looking thing, took some photos, it seemed to disappear and I
filmed and photographed it for 30 seconds, the Rockford report
said. It looks like a classic flying
saucer with a black marking in the front.
That's neat and it goes on. Talks a little bit about
Maryland, how it ranks as UFOs and you know, compares it to
some of the other states. California, apparently First.
Florida Second in Washington, Texas, New York, PA, Arizona,
Ohio, Illinois, North Carolina. Yeah, some good stuff out there
and it's good to see people are talking about it.
And even though some of the stuff with, you know, with the
hearings and that, it seems like it almost ended up as a dead end
and really have a lot of questions about it.
The good thing about it is it brings a lot of people into the
conversation and it gives it gives some people the impetus to
go ahead and pick up the phone or go online and make a report
when they actually see one of these UFOs.
Because if you see one and you don't report it, then we never
know about it. And even if you report it and it
turns out to be a meteorite or a satellite or something like
that, that's OK. It's all part of the data and it
gives us something to reference to, and it makes you part of the
community by sharing your experience with the rest of us.
Until next time. This is UFO warning over now.
