2002-01-05 - Baltimore, MD - Light

2 light-shaped...things seen in Baltimore County one year ago, I report on it now

I myself have never been much of a science fiction or fantasy believer. I always thought aliens, Loch Ness monster, and all that crap was just a bunch of lies used for us to explain the unexplainable. Well, my thoughts changed a little more than a year ago.

I was in my father's home in Baltimore, about 11 o'clock at night. I was looking out the window as I always do at the street life, waiting for Saturday Night Live to come on at 11:30. I was the only one home at the time. As I was looking around, I saw a helicopter take off, very silent. It seemed much more silent than a normal helicopter...but, oh well. Anyway, as I tracked its movement I saw out in the dark of night two lights slowly making their way across the sky. I thought it was other helicopters, or planes, or anything like that. But then, the lights vanished. I looked again, and they were gone. The helicopter I saw before was making its way towards the area where the lights were, and it had turned it's search light on. Then, about...say...300 feet from where they appeared, the two lights came on again, but there was this haze around them, and they were heading away from the helicopter. But, they were going straight up in the sky. Then they went down, left, and finally went out again. I thought it was just some sort of light on the ground making this, but the helicopter was now flying as fast as it could towards the lights.

I saw another helicopter off in the distance heading towards the lights, it was coming from the opposite direction of the first one. It also had its lights on. The two hazy lights returned quickly right near the second helicopter, then went away.

Finally, I didn't see anything for a few minutes, but then as the helicopters were about to meet, two hazy lights that seemed to come from the ground shot up into the sky, and vanished. They looked like the two lights I had been watching.

I went to the police station the next day to ask what the helicopters were going after, but they said that no helicopters took off last night. I believe firmly to this day that what I witnessed was something, and something that someone didn't want to tell me about.

I also did receive about 5 calls within the next week, and when I picked up, the person on the other line hung up. On about the third call I heard someone talking to someone else when I picked up, but when I said "Hello?", they hung up again.
