NUFORC Sighting 14225

Occurred: 2000-09-22 15:15 Local
Reported: 2000-09-22 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 2 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Camp Springs, MD, USA

Shape: Orb

I looked up & observed for 1 min. a white circular object, againsta clear blue sky, that dissappeared from sight right overhead.

the craft was moving westerly , it was a bright white circle against a clear blue sky, it was about the size of the hole in a ballpoint pen held at arm's length, it was directly overhead when I looked away for a second, when I turned my eyes back to the sky, it was gone, in a clear blue sky it just vanished, I watched for about another minute & saw absolutely nothing but sky, the white orb was directly over Andrews AFB at the time, at maybe 2000-5000 ft , I got the impression it was about 50 ft or so in diameter, and the few high cirrus clouds were off to the side, so i got the impression it was nearer the ground, the winds were from the west, so it was going against the winds, there was just no way it could have vanished under the usual circumstances
