Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The only thing I can describe is I first noticed the sound, extremely loud like a hundred train engines all revving up at the same time. I noticed a few orange-red lights. Went slow overtop my house but when it was going away it was extremely fast, i'll describe that like having a sling shot in your hand with a tiny pebble in it and pulling that sling shot as far back as you can and letting go, pebble flies so fast you can't see it.

Size of Object(s)

Object blended in with the sky, so I can't describe the object itself, however the lights only seemed telephone pole high.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

rooftop, telephone pole high.

Description of Area / Surroundings

I live right in the city of cumberland, MD, house's on both sided of my street. This object flew from and easterly to a westerly direction. We do have a ballistics laboratory a few miles away (ABL) Allegany Ballistics Laboratory. My third daughters grandfather works there.

Full Description & Details

My sighting began by first hearing an extremely loud noise which I describe as sounding like a hundred train engines, but right above my house. I seem to think I looked in my house at the clock to compare times as to when I first seen something and when it went away. I seem to remember the time of 10:28 p.m., this seems to be when I first heard it. Then the next thing I remember was taking a picture of the object just overtop of my house. I don't remember the object itself and what it looked like but I remember orange-red lights and only a few of them. I was so excited because I went out looking and something actually happened. As I leaned over my porch railing to view the object, I took the first picture. Then I had to wait for the light on my 110 instamatic camera to come back on. I didn't want to miss the shot. When I took that first picture, I was moving with the object so as not to be blurry when I got it developed. After I took that first picture,which it only seemed like seconds went by and I got the second picture when it was going away. It shot away so fast, almost the blink of an eye and you couldn't hear it or see it anymore. I went in my door and the time was 11:54 p.m. I will never forget 11:54 p.m. This time period seems weird because which seemed like seconds for the whole event, actually ended up being about an hour and a half. Well, I ended up getting my pictures developed and some interesting things showed up. I had already been in touch with MUFON in TX and they referred me to Bill Weiss in Frederick, MD. Anyway, I don't exactly remember how I got in touch with Budd Hopkins and his associate, you, Mr. Robbins, but you wrote me a letter asking for copies and in the long run i would receive my pictures back with any information about them. I ended up talking with Mr. Hopkins on the telephone and he said my pictures were very interesting, however I never received my pictures back or any information about them. This all took place back in 1995. Once I mailed them to Mr. Hopkins, that's the last I seen of my best copies. However I did keep the negatives along with some other copies. I heard the pics were sent to Bruce MacAbee, however he stated he don't recall my pics, however he was sent pics around that exact time period but they were suppose to be taken by a man. Here recently I was thinking Mr. Hopkins associate was Peter Davenport. However I was wrong. Someone referred me to a man named Lee Townsend, who I invited to my home to do a relaxation session on me. I ended up giving him copies of my negatives. When I asked for a copy of the recorded session, he became very aggitated. He sent me a transcribed copy of the tape, with much of the session missing. He described to me that the tape wasn't a good tape. Hmm sounded weird to me because it didn't seem like anything wrong with the tape to me at all and it was right near me to pick up the sound. Anyway, this sighting from march 12, 1995 is so much in my head, it's like it happened yesterday. There's only some parts of that night that seem foggy. Like I was suppose to forget. I've had many experiences before march 95 and I've had experiences since then and find them very, very exciting. "They" do not scare me at all. I would like them to visit more often, who knows what could happen. I could talk and talk forever about ufo's, my dreams of them, my awake viewings of them, people around me who have seen them, but some people just don't care. In the long run, I would like to know what happened to my pictures that were sent to Mr. Hopkins. I would like to know what "they" want. My children are involved in this, I have five of them and two grandchildren. Can you give me some answers? Cumberland police had many reports of this thing as well.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

NO

Witness Background

I am a 43 year old mother of 5, grandmother of 2, graduated high school, have had jobs as telemarketer, bartender, housekeeper, meat wrapper, and currently driver for a local car dealer.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I believe in them, seen them a few times, have dreams of them, only read very little about them, my interests comes from my own experiences which started from a sighting in baltimore, md when i was a kid, which i can remember like it was yesterday.

Other Comments

I just want to know exactly who they are, what they want with me and my children. How they find me, seems like they follow me. I've heard of implants but not sure if I have any, I do have a weird noise in my left ear that reminds me of some kind of morse code or something and I do have a perfectly straight scar behind my ear. Many other things that seem like it would take forever to type it out.
