Sighting record / 1965
March 8, 1965. A dark, starless evening near Mount Airy, Maryland. A man and his son stepped out of a barn and saw six red lights. Three pairs. Drifting toward them at about twenty miles per hour. A third witness was called from the house. Together they watched the lights pass between the barn and the house, low and utterly silent. One said it looked like a flying wing. It held a straight line toward the hills two miles away. They expected it to crash into the hills. Instead it went over, and disappeared over the horizon. Project Blue Book looked for a balloon or a glider. It found neither. Case 9305 was filed as unidentified.
Mount Airy is a small town on the line between Carroll and Frederick counties in Maryland. On the evening of Monday, March 8, 1965, the countryside around it lay under a heavy sky. In the words of the Air Force report, "It was a very dark night and there were no stars out." The wind came from the northwest.
