Silver UFO with unpredictable movement in Maryland

Summary

A witness in Lewisdale, Maryland, observed a silvery object with a dark band across its center during the night of August 30 to September 7, 1953. The object resembled two metallic bowls joined together, with sharp edges and no noise. It moved unpredictably, sometimes hovering and disappearing for a few seconds before reappearing elsewhere. The reflected light from the object was so intense that it almost blinded the observers. Although children thought they saw figures waving, the witness did not confirm this. The report concluded it was an aircraft, but the account suggests a mysterious experience beyond the ordinary.
