Light over McMurray, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My husband and I were having a small campfire just after it got dark. I happened to look up a little after 9:30 pm because there were fire or some sort of emergency sirens going off close by. Lower on the horizon I saw what looked like 5-6 fireballs in the sky. They were appearing and reappearing at random. I told my husband to take a look and the two of is watched them for almost half an hour. It was especially scary because of those fire sirens we were hearing. We turned on the scanner and it ended up no being related. It just looked like balls of fire burning up, but they barely moved. They would get brighter then die out. I'm not sure of the same ones were getting bright, dying out then brightening again or if they were all separate objects. Airplanes were flying in the same general direction and they looked nothing like this. There was no streaking across the sky like meteors. None of them shot up like fire works or anything. They were very far away, but you could tell they were very high in the sky and extremely bright. My husband and I both got on Twitter to see of we were the only ones seeing it. It was pretty visible. We used our iPhones to determine it was toward the southeast from us. They were just over and under the tree line from our view at our house. It was truly the most amazing unexplained thing I've ever seen. All the lights were completely gone by 10:00 pm.

I wasn’t a firsthand witness, but it was my mother that sent me this video of our yard at home. The UFOs “hovered” side by side behind the fence in our back yard. I’ve been behind that fence many times, and all that’s back there is a big open field. They didn’t seem aggressive at all, maybe just curious-or observant. In the video they seem to have white or yellow lights on them. I’m not sure how long they stayed there, but I’m not surprised this happened. We’ve all been trying to communicate with the aliens lately by going outside at night and pointing like ET up at the sky and flashing our phone lights to get their attention. However it’s a bit scary because we don’t fully understand what we’ve welcomed in. I just hope that if they attempt to make contact with us that they do it in a peaceful and civil way. We also saw a UFO the night before above our back yard. That, I was a firsthand witness to. I think we might’ve seen it a time or two before, but I just kept shrugging it off as a neighbors toy drone as a means to calming my nerves. If you have any information on what the aliens want from us or are here for I’d really appreciate it but until then let’s just hope they’re peaceful. I’m afraid they’re gonna keep getting closer and eventually abduct us.

Awakened by the sounds of animals scratching to get into the house. Went downstairs and my mother was letting the dog into the house. Saw a large triangle silently moving through the sky. The triangle had pulsing lights on each tip. The craft turned on it side and rotated like a wheel. It shot across the sky and was gone.

Bight flashing lights underneath a heavy cloudy sky. Extremely bright and flashing. No stars visible tonight. This was large and was several 100 feet in the air and did not move at all.
