Cylinder over Kratzerville, PA

The report, as filed

It was sometime after 8 PM, still daylight. The event lasted appx. 30 seconds. There were four of us in the vehicle and we all seen this take place. were heading towards New Berlin from Kratzerville on 204, where the road slightly bends to the right just past Salem Road. I was sitting in the back seat with my headphones in when I noticed something far out in the distance (at least a ½ mile away) that looked like it was hovering over a field. I took out my headphones to ask everyone else If they could see what I was seeing but before I finished the words, our driver was already slowing down because the thing I seen hovering out in the field quickly darted our direction. It looked kind of like a greyish drone version of R2D2, it was shaped in the same manner and had lights around it. It was SERIOUSLY low and it stopped dead right above us, I mean it was practically on top of us. As soon as it got there, we then noticed it was being trailed by a fighter jet! (we all agreed was either an F-22 or F-35.) The trailing jet was also seemingly able to “stop dead” just as the R2D2-looking drone thing was… then in a split second the R2D2 drone took off straight up into the sky, and the jet launched into the sky at the same 90-degree angle. The speed that they were both going was UNREAL and unlike anything we had experienced before. The radio was on so we couldn’t really tell how much noise they were making or anything. I have to make note that this is a very remote location with very few homes in the area.
