According to the report:
We were driving down 355 last night in Gaithersburg and I noted a very bright object in the sky, and since it was not moving too fast decided it had to be a helicopter, It looked like a three pointed star. Surely that was because of the atmosphere, I thought. Then we made a left turn and I saw two more up in the sky, again very bright and seemed to consist of three pointy arms. The really odd thing is that they seemed to be so close together- flying in formation.
