Baltimore- Maryland, January 1959January 1959

Insufficient Data

Summary

On January 10, 1959, a witness in Baltimore, Maryland, reported a glowing object in the sky. The sighting was made about 6:45 p.m. local time (2345 GMT) and lasted about one minute. The object was watched through field glasses.

The witness described one white, glowing, round ball that made no sound. It followed an airliner, staying about three feet behind it and making no change in direction.

The Air Force asked the witness for more details, but no reply was received. Because of the limited information, the record card carried the case as insufficient data.
