I can find zero corrobative evidence for star, planet or known craft. It was about 45 degrees to the NW of the moon which is due SE of my viewing position. It was very high, initially acting reflective to setting sun. Initially large; with almost stationary placement. Over ten minutes in moved towards it moved from overhead straight SE towards the moon; losing size and luminosity as it did. The sky was blue and cloudless. I have a picture that shows the object, but as you know, it’s not great from a phone. There is a second dark sphere that I did not see when pic was taken. I saw no birds, but can’t extrapolate beyond that. The primary object move barely a degree per minute. It was extraordinary in a blank sky. I used SkyView app and online search to research. Nothing matched up or showed as an option. As you ask, I am passing this along while fresh. I will look tomorrow to verify if it is a planet in the same spot. As of now, it is unknown to me.

I was driving down a part of route 1 when I looked out the window and noticed some lights in the near distance in the sky. There were two bright bluish-white lights on either side of the object, and then a flashing white light in the middle/front. For a minute, I figured it had to be a plane - the two lights on either side and the flashing light looked almost exactly like how a plane would look flying at night, and I thought I could make out the shape of the two wings on either side. But something was still really strange about it. As I kept driving, I noticed the object seemed too close to the ground to be a plane. York is only a town over from an airport, so it's not abnormal to see planes that aren't very high in the sky because they're taking off or landing. But this object was WAY lower in the sky than any plane I've seen, so that really had me questioning whether it was actually a plane. Then, as I got even closer, I realized that if this thing was a plane, how could I have been getting so close to it. If this thing really was a plane, it would have been gone long before I could have even questioned whether it was a plane. But I kept getting closer and closer to it. That's when I started thinking maybe it was some tower with lights (also not an uncommon thing to see, but not something I had ever seen on this road before). When I finally caught up to it, I kept looking straight up at it and I thought it was a tower of some sort for sure. It didn't look like it was moving, so I thought "case closed".... Until it started matching my speed. This is when I really started to freak out a little. Towers obviously don't move, but I have NEVER in my life seen a plane FLOAT and then go as slow as a car. I also noticed that it had very similar plane-like features such as what looked like wings, but it also looked somewhat like it had multiple edges to it. What really got to me was the fact that I felt like it was almost following me. It was moving almost exactly at the same speed as me and going in the same direction. Then, I finally made a turn onto another road, and then I freaked out even more because the object started going in the same direction as me again! I was almost at my destination so I decided I would just wait until I arrived there to continue looking at the object. But, after only peeling my eyes away for a few seconds to look at the road, it was gone when I looked back. When I finally got out of my car at my destination, I noticed a lot of dogs were barking and making noise, which only amplified the strange feeling. This experience was really strange and scary. A part of me wants to believe and on some level thinks that it was just some weird plane, but even tho I didn't see any weird beams or colored lights, I have NEVER seen any plane shaped or act like this before, and I definitely have never seen a plane disappear into thin air within a matter of seconds.

My friend and I were driving home on a back road at 11:00 pm, when we saw a really really bright star. She jokingly asked what it was, but suddenly it started to rapidly emerge from the far sky, getting closer each second. It was so bright that it was painful to look at. We slammed on the brakes and got out of the car. We looked up at the white ball of light, which suddenly opened up into a triangle shaped craft with blinding red lights on the right, and blinking green on the left, with a trailing light kind of like a headlight. It flew over head kind of slowly; slow enough for us to get a good look at least, and then it disappeared. Then we looked up at the sky again trying to find it, when all the sudden the sky was lit up with green and red pulsating orbs that were clearly not stars of any sort. This was the scariest night of my life.

Driving down dark road, saw a bright light high in the sky, remarked it "looked like a planet" to friend until it started to get closer and closer and became blinding as it got nearer... Pulled over in a park and ride and observed the blinding "headlight." The object swooped down in a path like a "J" where the as the "pin point" of light got closer and larger and brighter, at the bottom of the "J" the object slowed to a near stop and was absolutely SILENT; the object was dark but appeared disk-like to me, triangular to my friend shooting the video on her phone; we observed lights on three parts of the object, glowing red "panel" of light along one entire side, not a flashing strobe light, light was a steady red glowing panel of light; object looked like the size of a helicopter in the sky, but silent and disk shaped, no wings, no rotor, etc; the front had a very bright (blinding) "white light&! quot;, the other side was a glowing greenish blue "panel" of light, again not a strobe light but a glowing side of the object about the same size as the red panel of light; object was completely silent and moving very slowly but moving forward in a Westerly direction coasting over us and out of sight as the trees obscured it from view... VERY scary... not the UFO "type", can't explain what I saw, I know what an airplane or helicopter looks and sounds like, this was silent... WOW!

Light blue tear shaped ball moving very fast a few hundred feet over the trees.
