((NUFORC Note: We express our gratitude to Joan Woodward, member of the Mutual UFO Network, and the Fund for UFO Research, for following up on this report, which appears to be a possible hoax. We post Ms. Woodward's brief, follow-up report below:
((BEGIN COPIED REPORT FROM JOAN WOODWARD, MUFON AND FUFOR))
The address on this sighting is confused. The street number, street name, and zip code are not compatible. The telephone number was a cell phone and the person did not know anything about the sighting or the witness named in the sighting report.
A search of Anywho.com for MD, VA, and DC indicated no listing for the witness and, more interesting, no listing for anyone with that last name. It appears to not be a valid name. A request to the email address with the report has resulted in no response.
