Initial data
A report of an egg-shaped UFO with two rows of colored lights on the underside was received by the state police.
Charles P. Kenyon, 39, of new Windsor, MD., took his wife and their four children to a location outside of Westminster to observe the then-severe thunderstorm and thunderstorm.
Kenyon and his wife watched the object for 20 minutes as it maneuvered through the countryside. Kenyon said the outline of the object, including a pulsing amber light at the top and a bubbly protrusion at one end, was clearly visible thanks to lightning flashes every few seconds.
At one point, the UFO flew within 3,000 feet (914 m) of Kenyon's car at an altitude of 200-300 feet (60.9-91.4 m). During one of the passes, the object made a strong howl for a few seconds, similar to the sound of an air conditioner. Just before disappearing, the UFO was seen to turn on what appeared to be a white landing beacon to search for land below.

Summary: Report of an egg-shaped UFO with two rows of colored lights on its underside was received by state police. Charles P. Kenyon, 39, of New Windsor, Md., had driven his wife and their four children to a location outside Westminster to observe a violent Thunder and lighting storm then in progress. Kenyon and his wife observed the object for a total of 20 minutes as it maneuvered about the rural countryside. The outline of the object, including a pulsating amber light on top a bubble-like protrusion at one end, was seen clearly, according to Kenyon, thanks to lightning flashes every few seconds. At one point, the UFO passed within 3,000 feet of Kenyon’s vehicle at an altitude of 200-300 feet. The object emitted for a few seconds a high whine, similar to an air conditioning unit, during one of its passes. Just before disappearing, the UFO was observed to turn on what appeared to be a white landing beacon to search the ground below.
