"1958: The Loch Raven Dam Incident"
www.thinkaboutitdocs.com...
October 26, 1958 at 10:30 PM, near the Loch Raven Dam, north of Baltimore, Maryland, two men were traveling in a car. As they approached a bridge, they saw what appeared to be a flattened out, egg-shaped object hovering approximately 100-150 feet from the top of the bridge. Slowing their vehicle to get a better look, they approached to about 75 foot from the bridge. Suddenly, their car went completely dead. The two men stated that it was like they just cut the key off. Nothing electrical worked. The driver attempted to restart the engine, but to no avail.
The object and the malfunction of their vehicle frightened the men to the point that they hid behind their car. They were able to closely watch the UFO for 30-45 seconds. All at once, the object flashed a white light, causing the two witnesses to feel heat on their faces. The flash was accompanied by a loud sound, like thunder.
The UFO now began to slowly rise straight up. It was extremely bright as it did, causing the edge of the object to be fuzzy. Within 5-10 seconds the object was out of sight. The men were then able to restart their car, and rush to the nearest phone to report their sighting. The Ground Observor Corp was contacted first, but did not respond. The men then talked to the Towson Police Department, which sent two patrolmen to the scene.
The two men soon began to experience a burning sensation on their skin, and went to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Baltimore for treatment. They were examined, and each man returned to his own home
‘ARROWHEAD’ SEEN FLYING OVER DALLAS”
6 January 1953
(The Monroe News-Star, Louisiana
“A bright, colorful object, ‘shaped like an arrow-head,’ was in sight over Dallas for two hours Tuesday [6 January 1953] and officials who observed it said it ‘definitely was not a star or a plane.’
Police dispatcher Lewis Passons said he first began getting reports of the strange object about 1 [a.m.] cst.
‘People called in describing the thing as green, orange and red,’ Passons said. ‘They said it was arrow-shaped with a green nose and wings that gave off a white light and a whirring noise.’
[Passons] said he didn’t get ‘too concerned until several squad cars reported seeing the object.
‘Then we got in touch with the tower at Love Field and they said it was visible from there,’ Passons said. ‘Several boys climbed on top of City Hall and said they could see it plainly.’
W. B. Harris, Dallas Fire Department dispatcher, said he watched the object from the window of his office for about two hours.
‘I wish I’d never seen it,’ Harris said. ‘It’s too fantastic, and now there’ll be a lot of talk. I just wish I’d never seen it.’
Harris said that the object changed colors while he was watching it, ‘from and orange to a bright red.’
‘I know this much,’ Harris said, ‘It wasn’t a plane or a star.’
Wyle Moore, controller on duty at the Love Field tower, said when he first spotted the object he estimated its height at 30,000 feet.”
‘I marked a spot on the glass here so I could keep up with it,’ he said, ‘and within 30 minutes I’d estimate it had gone up to 80,000 feet. In another hour it had gotten up to 100,000 feet and then, of course, you could barely see it.’
Moore said that a number of pilots gathered in the control tower to watch the [object]. They pooled their guesses, he said, and the [consensus] was that the object was traveling 2,000 miles an hour.
Moore said that he had worked in the control tower for 14 years and that he had been a pilot for 27 years.
‘I should know a plane or a star by now,’ Moore said, ‘and this wasn’t either.’

Why do you think what you see there is gravitational lensing?
