Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Solomans Island, MD, USA

Shape: Light

Summary : My wife and I first saw a bright light from the top of the bridge coming from St Marys County; a distance of 1/2 mile. As we drove closer, we saw a solid object floating about 20 feet above the tree tops. I pulled the car over to the side of the road and we sat staring at this glowing object. There was a house within the field of view, the diameter of the object was twice the length of the house. The object was constructed in 3 sections, the middle section had glowing rectangular panels, the bottom section was massively constructed and we could see ribbing. There was no sound, the trees did not move, this all happened at twilight. After discussing what we were looking at, I started the car and left; the object was still there when we left.

My pragmatic wife doesn't believe in UFO's but she does admit that she saw this object. My wife is retired and I work at NASA.
