Date: December 16, 2007
Time: 11:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Maryland
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: A very large cylinder of light.

Full Description of event/sighting: While driving south on 270 heading towards Washington, DC, still about 40 miles form DC I saw a very large beam of light appear on the horizon slightly south east of the Highway. I could tell this beam of light was about 5 miles away. I could see the outline of the hill in front of it. Visibility that night was clear but the clouds were low enough that when the light appeared I could clearly see where it met the clouds.

To give you a scope of how big it was, it was as if there were a thousand spotlights all in the same spot turned on at the same time for just a second then it was gone. The FedEx stadium, the football stadium is in that general direction but there where no football games that night, and even when there are I've never seen a large cylinder of light shining above, around or through that area. I called local radio stations and T.V. news stations to report this, but they thought I was nuts.
