Three UFO reports describe slow moving ball of light over Virginia, Maryland

Witnesses in Virginia and Maryland are reporting a large, slow moving ball of light in the sky in three separate case reports, according to June 30, 2011, testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

A Virginia witness looked out a window after 10:20 p.m. in MUFON Case # 29799.

"It was a very clear night and I noticed that up in the sky, there was a large bright (brighter than the stars) ball of light," the witness stated. "It definitely was not a star. It was much larger than all the stars. It was not as high up in the sky as the stars. There wasn't a color. It was almost like a light bulb compared to the stars. The light did not flicker, blink, or anything like that. It was just a ball of bright light. It moved very smoothly and very slowly across the sky in a straight line."

Two Maryland witnesses were facing southeast toward Haystack Mountain in MUFON Case # 29793.

"I remembered looking up and noting how clear the sky was as the sun was setting, and glanced straight up above our heads and saw a light like a star, only much, much brighter, like 10 or 20 stars worth of bright," the reporting witness stated. "I thought it was a plane with a reflection, but the sun had set long ago. It was moving, but kinda gliding along. It didn't seem propelled."

The witness said the object appeared to move through the same observed space twice.

"I glanced up again to where I saw the object last, and it was just moving through the same space in the trees as it had just moved. I know that sounds insane, but the only way I can describe it is: Glitch in the Matrix. Like in the movie "The Matrix" when the cat walks in front of the door twice, like it's on a loop. Only it seemed brighter and bigger than before."

The witness offers two illustrations. See Image # 1 and Image # 2.

Another Maryland witness standing in a field at 10:10 p.m. reports a bright light moving overhead in MUFON Case # 29800.

"The light reminded me of a halogen spotlight intensity. It was at least 5 times the size of Venus at full magnitude. It was a constant light with no blinking lights that are seen on conventional aircraft. It flew overhead toward the southeast horizon. The light stayed on a straight course but did seem to slow down as it reached the sky above me. No sound was emitted from the object. It appeared to be flying halfway between the ground and the cruising altitude of jets. As it reached the Southeast sky the light quickly faded out and abruptly disappeared."

All three MUFON reports were filed on June 30, 2011. All three incidents occurred on June 29, 2011. No images or videos were submitted with any of the reports. The above quotes were edited for clarity.
