NAME LOCHRAVEN DAM
DATE 26 OCTOBER 1958
PLACE LOCHRAVEN DAM, BALTIMORE, PA
MAPREF;N16
EVENT CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE FIRST
KIND
At 10.30 in the evening Alvin Cohen
and Philip Small saw an egg-shaped
UFO above Lochraven Dam in
Maryland. The object was, they
estimated, hovering approximately
100-150 ft (30-46 m) above a small
metal bridge near the dam, some
250 yds (229 m) from them. They
drove closer to investigate.
At some 80 ft (24 m) from the
object the car's electrical systems
went dead; its dashlights and
headlights went out and its motor
stopped. In trying to restart the car
there was no sound of even the
starter motor trying to engage. Both
witnesses panicked, jumped out of
the car and moved behind it.
After some 20-30 seconds a
bright white light accompanied by a
deafening noise burst from the
object and it started to rise vertically
and within just a few seconds it had
vanished into the sky above. As the
light flashed both men reported
feeling heat and both displayed
symptoms similar to sunburn. There
were other witnesses who confirmed
the sound prior to take off.
it was reported to the United
States Air Force, but the case
remains unsolved and is officially
listed as 'unidentified'.
