I was driving down Joppa rd. when I noticed a yellowish-red object at first i thought was mars but then it started to move around rapidly at impossible angles from what I saw then it move in the blink of an eye from about 1200 yds to about 200 yds away from me and hovered over the tree top

I was driving a lone so if any body else saw it i don't know about it. the object was spherical and at first it was yellow in color and i thought it was mars or venus.  then it started to move really fast and doing angles that i never saw any thing like that before.  it got closer to me and i saw it to be around 300 ft. in length and looked kind of "liquid-like", like a lava lamp in colors of yellow and red. i saw it hover at tree top level for about 10 mins and then it sped off in the blink of an eye.  when it started to fly at tree-top level i stopped my car to get a better look but i had left my lights on and then they suddenly went out of some reason it made a strange "hissing" sound when it got closer and the trees it flew over light up like day-light and the second the object flew off my car lights came back on. and about that time i saw 3 "weird" looking helicopters that looked kinda like chinooks but made next to no sound which was funny.
Possible hoax, we suspect.  No date indicated by the source of the report.  PD
