Pretty freaky incident from the Loch Raven dam in 1953:
Also a very odd case from the same dam in 1958 involving a 'large, flat, egg-shaped object'.
Quote:1953 Incident – A Syphoning Of Water Supplies?
On an evening in early-May 1953, a little before 8 pm, two young men were driving to pick up two young college women for a prearranged date in Baltimore. [1] It would be a journey like no other. They were approaching one of the bridges across the Loch Raven Reservoir when their vehicle came to a sudden stop of its own accord. A second later the radio went silent, quickly followed by the failing of the headlights. The two young men began to jibe each other for not making sure the tank was full of gas. Then, they saw the “orange glowing object” approximately 300 feet in front of them over the bridge.
The object had the appearance of two saucers facing each other with “an ultraviolet band” dividing them. The light from the object shining off the surface of the water below. The two young men watched the object from their car for several moments before each left the vehicle looking for safety. The driver found refuge in an area of woodland at the top of a small embankment. The passenger, meanwhile, would hide in a small ditch in the opposite direction.
They would estimate the object to be between 200 to 300 feet above the water. Underneath the object, was a strange “conical shape”, like a “column of fog or haze or mist” [2] which stretched down to the water. At the same time was a “mum-mum-mum” sound. This continued for around ten minutes before the object disappeared. Although the sighting remains without explanation, the sound and location would suggest a “siphoning”. Or, even more alarming, a contaminating of the water supply
