1956 Maryland UFO Sighting at Andrews AFB

Summary

This report describes an aerial observation in Maryland from 1956, recorded near Andrews Air Force Base. A witness reported seeing a bright, fluorescent-like object that did not blink but instead increased and decreased in intensity at regular intervals. The object, described as the size of a pea held at arm's length, appeared below the observer's aircraft, climbed, and turned right. Its speed was estimated at 700 knots, making it particularly intriguing. Although a possible reflection or mirage was considered, the detailed description and precise speed estimation suggest a serious observation. The report does not include photographs or radar data, but it does provide a clear account of the object's behavior.
