Oval over Lansdale, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Multiple Red objects seen on Saturday, 4-4-15 – ((address deleted)) Drive, Lansdale PA At approximately 8:20 PM we were in front of my home with a relative from New York. We were looking at the rising moon in the East and noticed how clear and warm it was in comparison to the previous weekends. We first saw a group of 13 red objects coming from the North West and they appeared to by flying in several formations. The first few flew in a configuration that looked like the constellation Sagittarius with two vertical V shaped formations of 3 objects following this constellation resembling formation. Since we live in the landing patterns for Philadelphia International Airport we are quite familiar with the heights, speeds and sounds of approaching, circling and departing aircraft. There were no sounds associated with these objects and they seemed to fly past us at about 4-6k ft at about 400 mph. About twice the speed we would normally see landing aircraft and about the height you would anticipate a plane to be landing at PIA. The objects were about twice the size of a passenger jet at this height. They all seemed to be identical. My cousin seemed to think they were V-shaped but all I saw was an oval Red Light. The objects were bright Red in all the groups. The second group followed the first after an interval of about 10 seconds. They were heading on the same course, Northwest to Southeast toward the rising full moon. The second group was a group of 9 objects flying almost at the same heights and speed as the first group. I had my cell phone and began taking video and stills. Surprising but the Video did not capture the objects, but my stills did. The second group flew with the first 6 objects flying in a half moon shape followed by 3 in a vertical line. At this point I called my wife outside and she did not know what to make out of them. When we thought they were gone another group of 3 following the same course, height and speed flew by, followed by another group of 3, then a few seconds later another group of 3. All were Red and all followed the same course. These were flying in a triangle, isosceles, with the two creating the base flying East and one tailing the other two. As they flew towards the rising moon they all disappeared climbing out of site, as they flew East. However, they all were climbing through the area of our vision, but seemed to be starting at a lower altitude from the West and climbing going East until they faded out of view. We have never seen anything like this especially with no associated sounds or flashing lights. Observers were an electrical engineer(male), tax accountant (female) and kindergarten teacher (female). Previously all skeptical on UFO's. Someone else had to see these with the amount of objects in the sky. We look forward to hearing if anyone else saw these.

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

Was standing out back and a small black object caught my eye. I grabbed my phone and aimed it up towards the object but was hard to see in the sun. I followed the object traveling from right to left in the sky and then while reviewing it later noticed another black object shooting from behind a tree line at an incredible rate of speed going from bottom left to upper right. When I slowed it down and looked frame by frame I could see the second object appear to change shape and in one frame I can clearly see what looks like an oblong shape that has a single wing through it. You can see both objects in the same shot on the zoomed in frame included. No sounds were heard by either object.

3 fast traveling fireballs in the night sky. Fireball shaped objects( very bright fire, orange-like color) took off in Towamencin Township and flew Northeast with speed that I could not quite determine, but was not slow, increasing altitude until disappearing. From the visual appearance and the distance, the size of the objects could have been from 3-6 feet in diameter. My neighbor and I both captured video of this event. We were able to observe objects take off and steadily traveling and increasing altitude up to about 100-200 feet over Towamencin Township area, towards the I-476 highway.

On the of evening 28th of January, 2019, just past midnight, I experienced/witnessed sights and sounds I fail to find a logical explanation for. I live in rural PA, and at night it is pitch black/dark outside of my house, and there has always been odd flashing lights in the woods. I chalked them up to deer tracking devices of some sort which I was able to catch on camera. This night I was sleeping on the couch and I heard what sounded like a vacuum of air being sucked out of the room and some sort of train whistle as well as whistling noises. I went to my back deck and snapped a few pics and in one there is an odd blue gauge of some sort and a circular craft with orange lights hoovering over the trees. My brain was still not processing what I was witnessing – it just seemed suspended in air with no sound then shot right up out of sight. I went inside and ran into my room and snapped some more pics from outside of my South facing window. I caught what looks like to hairless figures staring right into my window – I did NOT see them in real time and after that I don’t recall much to be honest- I only have what is on my cameras and my hand held device. I know this sounds absolutely absurd but I am a rather logical professional/corporate college grad with advanced degrees and I have no explanation for what I see and hear on these videos. I use the BLINK security system so my home surveillance is directly linked/alerts to motion on my cell phone which is how I am assuming I was able to record this. I have gone through 4 laptops in 18 months. They just totally shut down- this morning I checked my amazon photos account which tracks everything and there are photos and videos on there I did not take or I don’t recall taking. Odd photos and videos seem to start on January 4th, 2019. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
