AIRY, MARYLAND 8 MARCH 19o5 At approximately 1940 EST an observer and his son came out of a barn and noticed six red lights estimated to be about 1200 feet from t he observer moving at a speed of about twenty miles per hour, toward the NE. The lights appeared as three pair of lights, actually like the tail fins of a 1958 Ford. All of the lights had the same intensity and was comparable to a traffic signal. Another witness was s~:~mnoned from the house and then all three observers viewed the lights. One witness stated that it looked like a flying wing. It was a very dark night and there were no stars out. The flight was i n a straight line toward the hills, two miles away. All of the observers thought the objects were going to crssh into the hills but it went over instead and disappeared over the horizon. The lights passed bet ween the barn and the house at an altitude of 100 -500 ft., and was in view for a total duration of three minutes. To simulate the sighting, one witness would take a dirigible or blimp oriented sideways and place three pairs of red lights along it. The outstanding fac~ors in this sighting are the very slow speed, the floating sensation, and the ext reme closeness, yet lack of sound was reported. portion of the available data is cnarac~eristic of a balloon with a scientific payload or some type of large glider. At.t.empt.s were made to pu t either of tne two in t he area b~t to no avail. The wind was out of t he northwes t which also conflicts wi~h an evalt:.ation of a balloon . With t he existing data t he case i s listed as ~niden~ified by the A:r Force . CONCLUSION ..,1 tr rrJ OIS!RYATION AND ANALYSIS i_nut.r 5 TYPE OF OISERYATION
