No of observers: 1

Location: Parkton, MD, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Color, Aircraft nearby

Looking out the front window I noticed a what appeared to be a star changing colors, red, then blue, then white. I looked through binoculars, and noticed it was slowly moving. Saw what appeared to be a trail of light in an oval shape, and when I got the binoculars focused, I could see it was a craft in a saucer shape. It slowly faded away, then came back for maybe 30 seconds, and faded away again. I've noticed its presence before, but never had gotten a better look other than a naked eye. This was 5 miles SW of the MD/PA state line (Parkton), and at an altitude of about 2500 feet.
