UFO Sighting Report

Location:
Cascade, Maryland, United States
Summary:
My sighting was actually a 'hearing' -- I awoke around 0558 hours to a sound I couldn't identify, it appeared to be a series of two or three repeated raising and lowering sounds. At first I thought it might be an ambulance but then realized that it was overhead and moving away from where I lay still in bed. In the distance there was the sound of a civil defense siren and the sound that woke me quickly became less and less noticeable. I went to the bathroom for a few minutes and that's when I got to thinking that the sound seemed similar to what might be used as a flying saucer in a movie. Moments later, when I returned to the bedroom, it was to the sound of jets and helicopters circling overhead, the civil defense siren still blaring in the distance. I asked my wife if she was awake and she replied that she had heard all the sounds (we both considered the initial sounds to be odd and unidentifyable). Our home is located about four to five miles from Camp David, and we discussed how fast the jets and helicopters seemed to appear right after the intial sounds passed overhead. All the acivity seemed to quickly dissipate except for that civil defense siren, it last a few minutes after all else was quiet. Never saw a thing, we just heard what we both considered to be an unknown strange series of sounds that we couldn't identify passing overhead, followed by the jet planes and helicopters that we could easily identify.

Size of Object(s)Never saw it, only heard it -- it is what woke me from sleep. Description of Area / Surroundingsa rural area located next to a closed down army base (Fort Ritchie), and not too far away (three or four miles) is Site-R (commonly known as the underground pentagon) and in another direction, four or five miles away, is Camp David, Maryland. This may or may not be related but I have been at my present home for twelve years and this is the first year that I have noticed that my grass hasn't been as full as in the past years -- this might be related to a chemical fertilizer I used recently (before the object passed overhead) but I have used similar product in the past and yet this year the grass has really strange random patches where growth is void and large dirt places remain. Makes a heck of a mess when I run the lawn mower. I noticed this the day after the 'hearing' incident, actually that was the first time I mowed this season. May or may not be related, but it entered my thoughts because of the happening and no real explanation for why this year would be any different from all the rest. Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?I've never heard the likes of what I heard that morning, the closest thing I can imagine or give as an example might be what the movies often portray as flying saucers -- I swear it quickly came to my waking mind to be just that, a flying saucer passing overhead. I expected to hear other comments later in the day (week) but no one other than my wife seems to have heard the same. Actually, living in this rural community, I never asked anyone the question. But I know what I heard eventhough I truly didn't recognize the sound as anything I had ever experienced except in a movie setting. Witness BackgroundI'm a retired US Army Master Sergeant. I spent a twenty-six year career in army administration at various top level assignments. My spouse currently works for the government in an administrative capacity. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI believe in them. I'm not preoccupied with the subject but I do believe in the strong possibility of life elsewhere in the universe, many places, many things possible.
