Maryland UFO sightings

I predict that UFO enthusiasts will see a sharp decline in their productivity at work for about a week or so. The blackvault.com just posted 12,618 declassified case files from the Air Forces various mid-century UFO investigation projects. And you can search by keyword. And the Maryland sightings are pretty awesome.

Check out these notes from a pair of sighting that took place near Loch Raven Dam on Oct. 26 and 27, 1958:

โ€œLarge , flat egg-shaped obj, hovering over a bridge. Lights & motor auto went off as it approached close to obj. There was a brilliant flash & loud noise as obj started to rise vertically. Sources claimed to experience burning sensation of their faces.โ€

Inside that case file are pages upon pages of testimony, notes, photographs, and memos. The conclusion? While, โ€œit can be assumed that the sighting did actually occur as related,โ€ โ€œno valid conclusion could be reached as to the nature of the object or phenomena, and it remains unidentified.โ€

AHHHHHHH!!!!!

On a lighter note, the Baltimore Sun points out a local UFO sighting that turned out to be a soap bubble popping on a fence.

So some of them are Scooby Doo, and some of them are X-Files.

Here they are.
