A Maryland witness is reporting some odd bell-shaped objects in the sky that appeared in a photo taken April 5, according to a report filed with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.
Three of the objects were silver, the witness stated, and one was black.
The witness said he did not observe these objects with the naked eye, but only discovered them after browsing the images later.
The bell-shaped UFO account does pop up occasionally in reports, although not quite as often as disc or triangular-shaped objects. The most famous case of a bell, or acorn-shaped object, was the UFO that fell from the sky in what appeared by multiple witnesses to be a controlled landing on Dec. 9, 1965, in a wooded area in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania. The
Kecksburg object, as we know, was retrieved by the military that same night and, with armed guards standing by, moved out of the area under a tarp on a flatbed truck.
No official analysis of that object was ever released by the U.S. government, although many ufologists have tried to get beyond the weather balloon theory.
