Luminous UFO Sighted Near Kingsville in 1953

Summary

A U.S. Army medical officer reported seeing a bright aerial object near Kingsville, Maryland, in 1953. While driving on a highway, he observed an elliptical, self-illuminated object that appeared as bright as the sun. Initially stationary, the object later changed shape and direction. The witness, who had a background in physics and light phenomena, stated it didn’t resemble any aircraft or pyrotechnic reflections he had seen before. An investigation found no local activity that could explain the sighting, though a distant aircraft reflecting sunlight was considered a possible explanation.
