Duration: 20 minutes

Location: Hancock, MD, USA

Shape: Triangle


The triangle craft hovered silently just over the tree line. It was just before dark and the sky was clear.

My husband likes to view the moon through the telescope and he was not at home this evening. We were having a full moon so I thought I'd set the telescope up just before it got dark so we didn't have to do it later. I set the scope up facing east and was scanning the sky for the approximate placement of the rising moon when I saw a triangular object hovering just above the tree line. It was still light enough to notice that the leaves on the oak below the craft were not moving (no displacement of air) and the craft was absolutely silent. I do not remember seeing lights. There may have been but I don't recall. The craft was no more than 100 yards in front of me, a dull almost invisible black. I could see a bulge in the center of the craft kind of like a cockpit area. It was angled towards me so I never got to see the bottom. I ran into the house to get a pair of binoculars. It was still there when I came back out. I had the distinct feeling of being watched. I held the binoculars just below my face to get a fix on the location but the instant I put the binoculars to my eyes the craft had disappeared. I can't say whether it flew away very fast or just disappeared, but it was instantaneous. I can't say whether I lost time or not, but I can say that by the time this was over it was fully dark.
