Oval over York, PA

The report, as filed

I am a retired school teacher of 42 years. I have an MEd in Administration and Supervision. I am 74 years old. On Monday, July 1, this year, I was on my deck attached to my home. At approx. 21:00, I was watching the sky at dusk, watching commercial airliners fly directly over my home, flying east to west. My home is directly under airliners' flights apparently from Philadelphia/New York to the west coast. As an airliner went across the sky, I saw an object off to the side of it. At first, I thought it was a star and didn't pay any attention to it. As the plane moved forward, I saw this "object" start to move at about a ninety degree angle directly toward what I realized was an intersect point with the plane. Now, I could see that the object was not a star as it was close to the earth. The object had ball-like pieces that moved around as the object moved toward the plane. The balls were different colors with three white ones that moved around the outside of the others. From where I stood, the object was going to run directly into the plane. The plane continued, the object stopped as the plane passed, evidently the two were not at the same altitude. The object then made a ninety-degree left turn at an apparent high rate of speed. If the plane was moving at 400 mph, the object was moving at about the same rate toward the plane, made that turn, then followed the plane at the same speed for a short time. At that point, I became aware that the object was not alone. A second, similar object "appeared," and I say appeared because it was not there a second before. The second object was farther to the east. It was not as well "put together" as the first as the second had similar round parts, but they were not organized into a shape as the first was. The second approached the flight path of the plane but behind it. The object seemed to get organized as the lights formed, it appeared, a flat object. The object followed the plane, apparently tracking it or staying behind it, toward the west until it disappeared. In th! e meantime, the first object moved erratically in one place wh! ere it s topped following the plane, the ball-like structures moved around inside the shape, changed colors, and appeared to form a large sphere-shaped object that was "rolling." After maybe fifteen minutes, the object began to move upward, away from the Earth. Today, thirty-five days later, the object "sits" in the sky in the same place, but much farther away from the Earth. It sits there, still observable with the un-aided eye, with the "balls" of light moving around in random motion. And, the total object, moves, apparently randomly, from my observation point, left, right, up and down in the sky. A second object, I do not know if it is the same second object as I saw the first night, now sits at apparently the same altitude but more to the western sky. Its movement is observable left, right, up, and down, apparently random. Its balls of light move in the same way as the first object. I have observed these objects nightly when it is not too hazy or cloudy. The first one is in the same place as the first night, and the second object sits at about the same place as it was after tracking the plane. Am I nuts? No. I am observing an obviously controlled object in the sky.
