On 31 July and 1 August 1966 in the DC area and Baltimore there was a wave of observations. Policiaca Prince Georges watched lighted objects maneuvering erratically across the sky. In Baltimore the residents of country living at Country Ridge was woken up early in the morning of 1 August, barking dogs.

At least two families saw a hovering object in the shape of an egg with flashing lights on top and bottom. According to the Baltimore News-American (8/1), the object made a loud humming or whining noise.

That night the physicist Vasil Uzunoglu, consultant in microelectronics, went to the North and East Metropolitan (Washington, D.C.) Beltway around 22:55 (EDT). He passed air force base Andrews when from your open left window he saw the light descends and appears briefly, freezes, then quickly moves to the East.

After a few minutes, oblong object "like a submarine" went over the house to the left of it. This time the UFO was much closer, its apparent size was as large as a house. Dr. Uzunoglu slowed his car and looked at the object that was about 200 feet away, for about ten seconds.

At this point, he showed the details of the structure: the pointed top with red light appears to be rounded under surface with red lights and a big yellow rotating light, a little off-center.

"I could clearly see the upper part, which was dark, not shiny material with no sharp edges", - he told NICAP. "The brightest part was like the eye of the object is shifted to the right, with two distinct yellow regions. The lower area was rotating, blinking or scanned."

Dr. Uzunoglu again drew attention to the highway, noting that other machines could not see. When he looked back again, the object was moving South "at a very high speed and relatively low altitude". He said it disappeared in seconds.

Original news

On July 31 and August 1, 1966, there was a flurry of sightings in the general area of Washington and Baltimore.Prince Georges County police watched lighted objects maneuvering erratically across the sky. In Baltimore, residents of the Country Ridge housing development were awakened early in the morning of August 1 by barking dogs.

At least two families saw a hovering, egg-shaped object with flashing lights on the top and bottom. The object made a loud whirring or whining noise, according to the Baltimore News-American (8/1).

That night, physicist Vasil Uzunoglu, a consultant on micro-electronics, was driving north and east on the Capital (Washington, D.C.) Beltway about 10:55 p.m. (EDT). He had passed Andrews Air Force Base when, out of his open left window, he saw a light descend and appear to hover briefly, then move rapidly to the east.

Minutes later an oblong object “like a submarine” descended over a house to his left. This time the UFO was much closer, its apparent size as large as the house. Dr. Uzunoglu slowed his car and looked at the object, now an estimated 200 feet away, for about ten seconds.

At this point it showed details of structure: a peaked top with a red light; an apparently rounded under surface with red lights; and a large yellow revolving light slightly off-center.

“I could see clearly the top of the body, which was a dark, non-shining material with no sharp edges,” he told NICAP. “The most striking part was the eye-like object off-center to the right, with two distinct yellow regions. . . (The lower region) was revolving, blinking or scanning. . . ”

Dr. Uzunoglu turned his attention to the highway again, noting that no other cars were in sight. When he glanced back again, the object was moving south “at a very high speed and comparatively low elevation.” He said it disappeared in seconds.
