Detailed Description
I was backing into my garage around 5 am when i looked up and saw the moon, or what appeared to be the moon. according to my moon watcher’s app it was supposed to have set at 3:34 am. so why was it still high up in the sky? when i tried to take a picture, no matter what angle i tried the camera would capture what looked like a fireball with a large aura around it. question: can the moon do this since it is reflecting sunlight? full moons can tricky to photograph, but you can still tell it is the moon in your picture, and not some smaller ball of light….


I live right over the other side of the mountain in Smithsburg. I have also noticed something very similar off towards Frederick. As well as a number of unexplainable lights and craft in the skys above the mountain. Usually hovering around Site-R. This is an interesting account. Thanks for reporting. I’m always interested in what other folks are seeing in this area.
