The report, as filed
1st day of hunting season here in PA. Was putting my boat into a local lake (bluemarsh) at 5am to head to my spot. I seen I very bright light off to the west, little higher then tree top level. Figured a incoming plane. It hovered for a bit, and the started coming towards me. No sound, at all! As it got closer, i realized this was not any plane or helicopter. It got almost above me, and I could clearly see a cigar shape in the light. I could also see as it looked like, windows on the craft. It was very bright, and didnt know what to do. I had a flash light in my hand, and turned it on, and as soon as I flashed my light on it... POOF, it was instantly gone!!!! No sight of it anywhere. It just disappeared..... Never seen anything like it before.... It was 1st day of hunting so im sure many others witnessed this.... Just couldn't make out the craft untill it got close enough.... it was close enough.... too close... Not a drone, no way... too big, too bright, no sound.

Four of us were relaxing on the patio when one person said, “Is that a fireball?” Everyone looked through the trees (to the south) to see an orange object in the sky, and at first we all thought it was a fireball. However, this object was moving much more slowly than any fireball we’ve ever seen. It was travelling towards the northwest. Everyone left their seats and moved to an area where it would be easier to see, and I was able to get some video with my cell phone camera. This object was moving about as fast as most aircraft, but it didn’t have the blinking lights that we always see on planes and helicopters; just a very orange glow that kept getting bigger, then smaller, over and over. We heard no noise coming from the object. Eventually the object moved out of our range of vision, and that was the end of the event for us.
