As I was walking the dog, I looked up to follow the path of an airliner flying west. As the airplane crossed the sky, out of the corner of my eye I noticed starlike dots, flying rather close to each other and in a northwest direction. I could see 4 lights trailing each other. As the lead dot disappeared a new dot appeared at the end of the formation and this continued for about 4 minutes. There were no flashing lights, only starlike dots moving in order, over and over again until they finally stopped. I called my wife outside and she also saw what I saw. Then, nothing.

I came home and parked my car. As I circled behind my car I looked at the stars to the north. I noticed what looked like 3 stars in a row but they were moving slowly to the east. A fourth dot appeared behind them and traveled in the same path. As the first dot started fading a fifth appeared. There were 4-6 visible at any given time. I called my wife out to make sure I wasn't just seeing things and she confirmed that it looked very abnormal and they were moving in a line then would fade out after traveling for 10-15 seconds. We tried to take pictures or videos but our phones could not pick them up. After about two minutes the lead dots started fading and no more appeared. I watched the sky for a few more minutes and they didn't return.

Last night 5/8/21, driving home around 9:00 PM, a couple of minutes from my house, I saw three red lights in the sky. They were a strange color of red, almost like a roadside flare color. I followed out on to a dark country road. Two of the lights disappeared. Then the last one disappeared. Then it reappeared, then another, then all three From my perspective, they were not in a line nor triangle and were at different altitudes. I estimate below 3 thousand feet, the height normally helicopters are seen at. The objects did not have any navigation lights and there was no sound. I tried to catch a movie. I thought I was taking a movie and even zoomed in enough to see a hexagonal structure in the center. It turns out I wasn’t recording. Too much inexperience and adrenaline. Anyway, I got home and sat in the driveway looking for them. While watching after about 3-4 minutes, I see the starlink line transiting, moving towards the east. I live just north! of Washington PA. What I saw was not Starlink, but that is an odd coincidence. Also, I worked for the USAF for 25 years and have seen many objects flying, but never one I couldn’t ID. This morning, searching around the internet, I found a picture that most closely resembled what I saw. I do so hope you have a report that discusses the same sighting.

Last night, while walking my dog, I saw what appeared to be a rocket because it appeared to be flying up straight. But having seen a rocket launch before I knew that wasn't the case — they are loud and there are obvious flames shooting from below. The thing I saw last night then began flying across the night sky above my head. The top of it was a smattering of red and orange lights. They each flickered separately. It was as close, if not closer, than most of the planes that fly overhead. The base of the shape from which the lights came up from, appeared black and to be shaped in an upward arch. All of the lights filled an almost circular space/cluster above that arch. There was no brightness around the lights, meaning the sky didn't appear lighter around the lights. And it moved rather slowly. Didn't dart quickly or have a tail like a shooting star or meteor. Didn't hear anything coming from it. I tried to chase after it, but I wasn't able to keep up and it ! disappeared behind some trees.

Clarion, PA
I was outside and looked up. Seen three total of the same kinda of light. Almost like a Christmas tree light twinkling. One was hovering very close like helicopter. And another was along a tree line. And the other was wide open over yonder. The one wide open stayed the longest. They all seem to be hovering and twinkling with light. And I got my gun spotting scope and could tell they were gaining altitude and the other two seemed to disappear in a blink of an eye. Thru the spotting scope. They looked like trianglar in shape. But was twinkling at a frequency most stars wouldn't.

Cheswick, PA
Saw what I thought was a crescent moon, yellow and orange in color. Went to get my dog and thought it was overcast, why can I see the Moon. When I walked back to look again it had changed shape. It's top half was gone and a large orange light was now in the center. The bottom of the crescent faded and the orange light got bigger. The shape started to lose color and size going to white. It just reduced till it was gone.

I was taking a bag of trash down to our garage. As is my habit, I paused in my driveway to look up at the sky. I like looking at the stars. The object caught my attention at once because I had never seen a bright star in that part of the sky (south west), and never any star as bright. It did not appear to be a solid light. The best description I can give is was it seemed to twinkle or glisten. I could see no real shape, just light. Moreover, as I stood staring at it, I saw it move. It would drop down a short distance, then move back up to about it's original position. Then down again, only then at about a 45 degree angle. then up again at slimmer angle. Then it moved in a straight line a short space to it's left. It repeated this pattern again and again. After watching this for about five minutes I ran into the house to wake my wife and had her come to see what I was seeing. The two of us watched this thing for about 15 minutes, and it terrified her. We have lived on this property 33 years. We often sit our on the deck nights looking up at the sky. We have seen passenger jets fly over, small aircraft and even medivac helicopters. Never anything like this. What spooked her most was it made no sound. My wife said she no longer felt safe standing out in the driveway and headed into the house, insisting I go in with her. I have no idea how much longer the object reminded in sight. I only regret it never occurred to me to grab our handycam and recorded the object. I am not a drinker and the only drugs I take are to treat my Rheumatoid Arthritis. This is what I saw and am reporting it thinking it might be important.

This happened near the train tracks about 3 blocks from US 13 (Chester Pk) and Fairview ave roughly 2 miles from Chester Pa. very near I 95. I am repeating exactly what my girlfriend just told me, then spoke to both again while writing this to be sure of details. I went to look but hey were gone by time I got there about 10 minutes later Female in her 50s was driving her 13 year old son back from shopping, coming down Fairview towards US13. A block before the tracks they both saw twelve bright orange (mango), white, and yellow lights with no glare slightly larger then a nickle held at arms length. They were in a loose circular pattern, just sat there at about 2,000 feet, possibly little lower between US13 and the tracks. After about 15 seconds of watching they got scared and drove the other way. No other people or cars were in the area. Normally that would be extremely weird but this is the Covid year so hard to say. The lights match nothing we can think of and we are all very familiar with all lights in area. She has lived roughly 1/4 mile from where they were for about 20 years, and I for about 8. We live along a flight path into Philadelphia Airport, it or they were not planes. Light was very different, colors wrong,lower and larger. She had no interest in UFOs before this and was visibly shaken, son also less then thrilled. I, who wasn't there am interested so am writing this to the best of my ability

But now they are going from each of my neighbors roofs. I have video looking through my front door window of one sitting on neighbors roof. Then starts behaving strangely and 5 or 6 of them appear out of no where and take off. I have a lot of videos of this happening and my wife and mother have also witnessed it.

Going to the bathroom in the morning and noticed it was very very windy outside. Looked out the window and saw lights hovering above the trees. It looked about 15 ft long, oval shapped and had 4 lights on it. From left to right the lights were white, white, red, white. The objects hovered in the same spot for a minute then it moved at an angle away from me in a zig zag patern. But stopped again for a minute. Then it zig zaged again and stopped again until it just took off.

One main oval in front with three circular spheres attached to a stream of white light. Like a three point leaf. It had no sound. I stood there frozen and then saw the three lights separate from the one in front the three lights disappeared and then the main object kept moving then just vanished. The lights flickered quickly on the road. I was frozen and couldn’t run to grab my phone.

Looking out at south east morning sky, I saw a bright white point of light with lit up trailing vapor that was several times the size of the lead point of light. It was moving southwest to northeast in the black morning sky. I was able to take still pictures with my cell phone and a very short few seconds video recording.

My neighbor called me outside and said something was strange in the night sky, I looked toward the west and a bright light (red at first) was traveling west to east. As it traveled overhead it became less bright and almost dark. When that one disappeared another came from the west exactly like the first. The traveled west to east and dimmed as the went overhead. There was no sound to them, and one actually seemed to go a bit to the left and back the the right, but just a small variation. My neighbor said there was a total of six and I witnessed two myself.

Silver or gold craft in one spot hovering over factory, was gone in the blink of an eye. Nothing rules in the sky. Sunlight was reflecting off of it.

I first observed the object around 17:55 EST on Saturday, March 6, 2021 in McKees Rocks Pennsylvania. I brought the object to the attention of my companion. Then I went outside to have a closer look . The object appeared to be the shape of a dorsal fin and had lights on its various axes. The object traveled westward and continue to ascend for about 5 to 6 minutes until it was no longer able to be seen. The object was silent and its travels. The object appeared to be either metallic black or metallic dark blue and the lights appeared to be rotating like a light house light rotares. I live very close to an airport and have observed numerous Aircrafts however this one was unlike any I have previously observed.

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.
