Lansdowne, PA

Getting out of my vehicle in the driveway, I looked up to the sky to see really high up, as in rocket height, 4-5 silver specs flying at a great speed in formation. I have witnessed Blue Angel and Thunderbird air shows. It wasn't them as I looked up fly overs for both of them. They were flying so fast I knew I didn't have time to grab binoculars to try and focus on what they were. It was a clear blue sky..no clouds. No sound coming from them, no trails left behind them. They were so high up beyond what normal planes fly, that you would have needed binoculars or telescope to see what it possibly could have been, especially at the rate of speed they were flying. Also flew with constant shifting of formation - quick maneuvering shifting the whole time while in formation. One wouldn't go way out and come back in that formation...they were in formation moving around. I couldn't see any lights, because of the distance, plus it was daylight. I enjoy aeronau! tics, and this was the 1st time I ever saw anything I didn't really know what it was flying over at a great speed. It was so far up, that my camera would have only picked up specs in the sky, it wouldn't have shown anything substantial. Maybe our military has something in the works and they were practicing something...I don't know. I never saw anything of the sort flying that high with that speed.

Very large bright light in the sky. Right outside my house, I’m very familiar with the night sky and what stars are out. This was a large , bright gold light just hovering low in the sky. I live in the country on a back road. Not much light pollution. It hovered in the sky for 45-60 seconds. I got cold and stepped in real quick to get a hat and when I returned outside, it was gone. It appeared several hundred yards up in the sky. One interesting thing that probably has no connection is that I had uncontrollable shivering as soon as I stepped outside. I had a heavy winter jacket and shoes on. I’m a healthy person and love the cold but as soon as I stepped outside and noticed the glowing light and shook uncontrollably, to the point I had to go inside and grab a hat. It felt forced upon me.Very Strange .

Folsom, PA

At 6:57 pm est i video recorded two glowing fireballs flying @1600’ right behind one another, with constant speed 300mph right behind each other in the same pattern. Never changing altitude or course very straight in the flight pattern. We watched until they disappeared in the clouds i checked with my phones siri to check on flights above me and nothing was scheduled. As a drone pilot these made no noise and am very familiar with drones and flights of them. This was not two drone flying the same flight pattern and speed and direction impossible.

Allenwood, PA

I thought the first one was a falling star and then I realized it was not going to fall. It was on a straight trajectory from west to east and moving faster than anything man made. Then I noticed a second one not far behind it on the same plane and trajectory. And then I saw the third one. They were equally spaced apart and all on the same trajectory. They were white like stars and not in our atmosphere. The sky was clear. They were flying somewhere between 40 and 60 degrees above the horizon line.

King of Prussia, PA

I was driving down the Pennsylvania turnpike and i saw a bright white light in the sky going moving in a straight line from the right to the left of the highway. I was looking at it move for about ten seconds then when I blinked it had moved north and I blinked again and it was gone

Reading, PA

I was driving to pick my daughter up when yellow, white, and silver blinking lights caught my attention. I looked up and saw a triangular craft hover/flying towards the mountains. I thought it odd because airplanes don't fly that low as this was about a 1/4 above the treeline. I was going to pull over and take a picture but it disappeared before I could do so.

Exton, PA

My wife and I were walking back to our car after dinner last night in a parking lot at 7PM. She was looking at the stars, as it was a very clear night and told me to look up. (She actually said ”What the F is that?”) I looked up and saw about 20 or 30 dim white lights spread out in a wide U shape. The space behind and in-between the lights looked to be translucent. It was moving very fast and steady across the sky. There was no sound at all. We only saw it for less than ten seconds when it disappeared as though it vanished in a cloud. (there were no clouds.) I could have been drones moving together, but they would have to be dragging a see through plastic film or something. Size is difficult because it was hard to tell how high up it was. It was big about 5 or 6 moons across. We went home and both drew pictures of what we saw and then compared them. I called my friend who asked me a bunch of questions: How fast was it moving? Very Fast and Steady, no not like someone with a laser pointer. More like a fast low flying plane. How long did you see it? 5 or 10 seconds then it was gone. Did the lights have color? No, they were dim or dull white lights, not very bright. Did they move tightly as a group? Did they separate in any way? They moved tightly as a group. He looked for other sightings that were similar to mine online and found this site and told me to check it out. There are several. I checked this morning after reading other reports and found it was also flying in a SW direction.

Norristown, PA

I saw two lights that looked like stars or aircraft flying in formation to the northwest when I walked outside to at around 5:55 am EST. I observed them for a minute trying to figure out what the were, thinking military craft because I could see they were slowly moving in formation. I leaned over (to put something down) looked up again and they were completely gone. They were slightly bluish like Sirius or Venus and about the brightness of Venus, or slightly less bright. This is my first actual UFO sighting.

I was ob my way home and saw this big oval weird spaceship with two bright LED lights moving oddly really close to earth like 100ft or less and it was bigger than a car. It came down the Pagoda to the City.

Philadelphia, PA

While stargazing one evening, as I do with family nearly every night, I witnessed a massive V-shaped craft silently traveling north to southwest for roughly 5 seconds. I cannot gauge how close it was in 1000s/ft but it appeared very large and I cannot express how dead silent it was as it flew past. I have never seen anything like that before which prompted my searches for similar experiences. The V was dark colored with dim running lights along the edges. Most interesting, in addition to its silence, was that it appeared like light was bending around the body of the V (imagine a triangle shape where the “V” was visible like a silhouette but the stars behind it were visible though stretched/distorted as it flew. It seemed to appear exactly when near-perpendicular to my vantage point and then it disappeared once at a certain viewing angle. No photos were taken as it was a brief moment.

Warminster, PA

My roommate and I heard a low flying plane. It was very loud and echoing off the buildings in our complex, As we looked to the sky to observe, a few seconds later appeared a dark shape with 3 green lights. It came into view from the west and went out of view to the East. Flying very fast behind it was what appeared to be military planes. For over an hour after this first sight we counted 18 military planes coming through in the same direction, only much higher in the sky as time went on. The objects shape is unclear. It looked like a boomerang type shape with three solid green lights. The object was very clearly larger and longer than the plane that followed behind it. And it was very silent with no noise that we could hear. The military plane however was very loud. It was flying very low and clearly being chased. 10 minutes after the sighting our power flickered multiple times before going out completely due to “undetermined causes”. It was not restored til! l 03:03 am. Whether the power going out was simply coincidence or not, is undetermined.

Feasterville, PA

I didn't have my phone to take a video but I'm almost certain I saw a UFO fly by tonight. I heard then felt a rumbling in my kitchen and went out to find a couple solid green lights being followed by a blinking red lights(like a human aircraft). They moved at a relatively normal speed but did not sound like any plane or helicopter that I've seen before. There was a vibrating hum that resonated through the air. As I saw the green and red lights fly out of sight I noticed another set of 5 white lights in a triangle shape stationary in the path they followed. I turned to my m to point and show her, but the lights disappeared when I turned around.

Hatfield, PA

It was really loud and i first thought it was a helicopter or something like that but when i checked my app Flightradar24 there was no sign of helicopter and it was a helicopter behind the unknown object but it had 3 blue dots horizontally and the helicopter was behind it and they were both going at the same speed and fast

Minutes after fireworks I had noticed an orange fireball in the sky. It was moving fast and it skipped speed a few times. This lasted about a minute until the object went into a cloud or disappeared.

My wife and I along with her son watched a orange pulsating light cross the sky It appeared in the northeast sky towards the horizon and traveled slowly towards the east. No sound, no erratic motion. About an hour later 23:30 there was a second object. Same size Followed the same path. The airport is south of my location and I have never seen aircraft following that flight path

sellersville, PA

On New Year’s Eve, 2020, at about 6 p.m, I was with my mother driving to the bank on the way home. As I turned a corner on the street for a bank, i noticed bright orange/red things flying in the sky. There were about three of them who traveled close together. I went to park and they were flying above us and disappeared before our eyes. Then two more appeared behind a McDonalds it seemed, but it was just so high in the sky. They went to where the previous went and disappeared very very high above us. Two more then came and the same thing happened. My mom said it was lanterns and I knew it wasn’t. I was recording and when I zoomed in I was amazed. It was a ginormous reddish-orange energy looking ball that was seemingly pulsating in and out to gain speed. It kind of looked like the bottom of a UFO like it was traveling sideways. On the inside of the orbs there was another circle inside another circle. I have footage as well.

McKees Rocks, PA

saw a red object approximately 30k ft in the air several miles off in the distance. I live in a flight path near Pittsburgh Airport and it was definitely not a plane or helicopter. It was moving slowly towards the SW then stayed in place for a minute or 2 above the Robinson Twp area. It then appeared to move west and accended out of sight. The air force base and airport are both in different directions from where it was above

West Chester, PA

It looked like a stationary firework display/like a patterned ball. But not moving or arc-ing. I thought someone had put up some sort of display on a tower but there is no tower over there. I ran in for the phone/camera. Then the huge ball that was like a frozen firework started moving up, then forward, this direction. I kept trying to get photo but it wasn’t happening. Then it was 3 round lights, 3-D, like almost a plane formation with port and starboard but also front , triangular like a plane, but still these round patterned globes it got closer, lower, no noise until a very low bass hum, not like an engine. Impossibly low in sky. Still these round 3-D static firework-like globes. Then past where I could see. Nothing wrong with my eyes/I kept looking to see if there were auras around street lights. Nothing. Freaked. Heart-pounding experience.

Sinking Springs, PA

Early in the am on night shift, I saw a bright green ball of light that looked like it was falling to earth. I do not think it looked like a falling star or meteor. It lasted a second or two and was gone. Near route 422 Sinking Springs, PA.

Limerick, PA

I was outside late at night with my dog and I saw a V-shape light formation moving fairly slowly through the sky. The V-shape was in a wide, roughly 90 degree angle and the lights were steady glowing white (they looked more like an LED light compared to a star). It was moving E to NE in the sky for about 20 seconds and then it disappeared before my eyes. While I noted that it was a triangle craft, I am only assuming because I was only able to see the lights, and the sky was too dark to tell if there was a craft connected to the lights.
