Changing over Butler, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Was standing on my back deck looking up at clear sky, noticed white light drop down than move forward than disappeared, than it repeated but the next white light was just hair more forward and this kept on repeating like it was something bigger these were like marker lights on something massive, was stuck trying figure out what I was seeing so was unable get a video but whatever it was if it wasn’t one big craft than I would say total time I seen the light repeat would be between 8-10 before tried getting phone inside and 3 more times after came back out before lost sight over the houses and trees. All the lights were white round ball shaped lights and they did the exact same thing as in bigger craft moving.

My Mother and I went out front to have a cigarette at our home in Butler, Pennsylvania. On the front porch and walkway, my Mother told me to look. Up and to my left, probably less than a mile away from our location, we both saw two orange lights, one was larger than the other and they were completely still, and very close together. I insisted they were just stars or something normal. I looked away and thought she was being hysterical over nothing. Then I look back, they both were completely gone without a trace. Just there one second, then poof, gone! After these “stars” or objects disappeared into thin air, I knew we had just witnessed something paranormal. Just came here to report it. Thank you! Jupiter and Venus being obscured by a cloud?

I live practically next door to Butler airport so I'm familiar with what small planes and Cessna aircraft look like. I was traveling towards Cranberry Twp., PA, on a back road. Clear, sunny morning with spaced out fluffy white clouds. I witnessed a white cigar shaped object moving from my right to my left. I did a double take because it was very bright white. Not glowing, but a very shiny white almost like you had to squint to look at it but I could not make out any wings, tail, etc. When I realized I couldn't make out it was a plane, I actually stopped the car in the road and object went into a cloud and I waited for it to reappear but it did not. It happened quickly and at first I doubted what I saw but by the time I realized I was looking at something odd I couldn't grab my phone fast enough to record and it was gone.

Southern Butler County PA approx. 0600, 3-26-20: saw 2 very high altitude lights close together in straight line moving very fast toward the east, far higher and faster than any terrestrial aircraft. More craft were immediately spotted traveling in same manner; straight line, very fast. A total of 37 of these craft were spotted, seemed to be originating in SSE area of the sky, 30 degrees south of the zenith, all extending toward the eastern horizon in a straight line. Many of these craft were separated by one adult finger width held at arm's length, some were 2, 3 & 4 finger widths apart yet all in a very straight line. No engine sounds or sonic booms were heard. Did I see a UFO? No, I saw 37.

Viewed 3 white lights in the shape of triangle at a high altitude moving from the south west to the north east. This triagle shaped light was followed by numerous single white lights (12-15) evenly spaced out covering the sky for as far as the eye could see for about 2 minutes. This was later followed by a single white light following in the same path.
