Reports Report 858ad (Event 858-2013)

Observer
Name Andy R
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I seen two objects last night about 10:00 , the first was a yellow looking ball traveling from SW to NE and the second was more of a bright red going in the same direction. I live in Sykesville which seems to be the fly way for BWI and see airplanes all the time and these objects certainly did not look like airplanes. Any thought?
