UFO flat and egg-shaped over a bridge in Maryland

Summary

A declassified document from 1958 describes a UFO sighting near Loch Raven Dam, north of Baltimore, Maryland. Two civilians reported seeing a large, flat, egg-shaped object hovering about 100 to 150 feet above a bridge. As they approached, their car suddenly stalled with all electrical systems failing. While observing the object, both witnesses experienced a burning sensation on their faces and a bright white flash, followed by a loud noise. The object then ascended vertically and disappeared within seconds. The witnesses reported the incident to local authorities, but were either ignored or disbelieved. Later, both were examined at a hospital for possible burns, though doctors found nothing serious. The Air Force conducted a detailed investigation, but no conclusion was reached regarding the object's nature.

The report includes interview transcripts, photographs, and witness accounts. Investigators concluded the object did not pose a national security threat but remains unidentified. The object's description and associated phenomena, such as the electrical failure and heat sensation, add mystery to this classic UFO case.
