Time: 12:00 a.m.Brian, I found your page as I was trying to do some research to help explain what my wife and I saw last night.
We live in Joppatowne, MD and we were watching the New Years festivities on WJZ last night and noticed that our neighbors (through the woods) were shooting off fireworks. We decided to peak out the window to share in their revelry and noticed this red light passing through our field of vision.
This was at 12:00AM. At first I thought it was a red stray firework light, but it continued heading northeast from our location. We watched in amazement for around 10-15 seconds and then ran outside to see if the light was still there. And it was. For at least another 45 seconds to a minute.
Then we finally lost it through the trees as it approached Aberdeen Proving Grounds.
The light was red and did not pulsate, but rather stayed the same brightness as it silently moved across the sky. There were no tails to the light which ruled out a meteorite and there were no light drippings as would be seen from a flare or in our case, firework. It was difficult to determine how high the light was in the sky, but it appeared to us that it was either lower than a normal helicopter or plane, or it was very large.
We've been looking all over to see if anyone else had seen this occurrence. Please let us know if you hear anymore on this. Thank you and Happy New Year.
If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.

I to live in Joppatowne, I myself saw these red lights a few years back, I can't recall the years. Tonight how ever both my grown sons, my daughter in-law, my wife, 4 year old grandson, and myself saw these red lights. the first one was right at mid night it was high in the sky for about a minute then disappeared. About 2 minutes later another one appeared in the north and slowly ascended in the sky followed by a 3rd light following the same flight path. The last two lights lasted a minute or 2 and then disappeared.
Our conclusion was that they were some kind of illuminated balloons and burn for a certain amount of time.
