Pottstown, PA
Over our home in Pottstown, I saw this triangle shaped formation far up in the sky. It wasn't very lit up. At first I thought it's bird's or a cloud. Then it happened again, coming the other way, then again, but they would form a line or go into a circular type shape. This went on for hours, back and forth, high in the sky. My videos and pictures are terrible. Even with my high zoom mirror less camera

It was a sunny clear morning. The sun was still low in the sky behind me. I think this has a lot to do with what I saw. I was sitting in my car in the parking lot of a local bank waiting for the it to open. I always watch the sky because I am a plane spotter and always have been interested in aviation. I know the usual aircraft that fly around. Plus I live near a major airport so it’s the usual commercial aircraft. I put triangle shape in the description but it started out not triangle. I noticed a mass in the sky moving toward my location, coming from the west. It looked like a flock of birds. That’s what I thought it was at first. The best I could describe it was, it looked like white birds flapping their wings. Like white shimmering shapes. I watched this but I did take my eyes off it because, like I said I thought it was just birds. Again I think the sun angle had a lot to do with this. This is where it gets fuzzy, I don’t recall the shapes getting close! r as I was partially watching but suddenly it was right over my car. I looked up and it was very bright but almost translucent. Then I was so shocked I could make out a triangle shape and a distinct outline of four bright white lights along the back. The rest seemed to be reflecting the sun. I almost get the feeling I wasn’t supposed to see this. I reached for my phone to take a photo or video. Somehow in the couple of seconds it took to reach for my phone I knew it would be gone and I looked back up with phone in hand and it was gone. Disappeared. I really want to know what this was.

Traveling north in the vehicle I was driving on PA Route 168, at approximately 19:25 hours on Dec. 10th 2020, bordering Raccoon Creek State Park, I witnessed a very bright blue light travel east to west across almost the entire width of the night sky. I can’t describe it as an aircraft because it flew well below where planes usually fly, about where low clouds usually float, and at such a super high rate of speed; way faster than any man-made aircraft. I did not see an actual object; just saw what appeared to be the fiery, sparking, bluish bright tail of some super-sonic object. There may have been a reddish, orangish tip, but the light I saw can be described as the tail of a rocket. The windows were up in the vehicle I was driving and I did not hear any sound, which surprised me, given the fairly low altitude the object traveled. It only took about 3 seconds to travel across almost the entire night sky, and then I suddenly lost sight of it; much like it just disappeared. I actually kind of waited for an explosion or a ‘boom,’ but nothing. After driving about a couple hundred yards from where I last saw it, I pulled off into the Nichol Rd parking lot of the state park and looked back to where the object flew over. To my surprise, there was a distinct line of what appeared to be smoke across the entire width of the clear, starry sky, exactly where this object traveled! Against the night sky, this smokey line it was visible to naked eye, as well as the stars in the sky, however my iphone could not capture this remarkable sight. This was the proof that something of sheer volume and speed had indeed traveled through our atmosphere. Again, the altitude seemed! to be about where clouds are normally seen. I made a couple of calls to friends to report what I had witnessed. I stayed in this parking lot for about an hour; watching the sky and viewing the smokey line. It took an extremely long time for it to start fading away. Even at the half-hour mark, it was still very distinct and visible. It did very slowly start to shorten and fade to the south after about an hour. The only thing I could compare this smokey line to was what one of those “skywriter” crafts leave behind, but they are only seen during the day; their lines fade much faster; and they are flown at extreme high altitudes. This sighting was indeed like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Its shape, behavior, speed, and character was like nothing from this planet. It left behind a distinct travel path which proved its flight through our sky. I just wish I could’ve viewed it longer; I wish I would’ve seen it coming and been ready with a camera; I wish someone else had been with me to share in this strange experience; I wish there were other reports of this and more evidence to prove what exactly this UFO was! Perhaps we’ll never know. I hope that the information I provided here leads to some more proof and discovery. Thank you for taking the time to read my experience.

White haze horizontal cigar/ sphere shaped object. Flying from south to north. Very high in sky no sound. Consistent travel speed. I see these on occasion while on deck watching for shooting stars. Bare eye observation. I'm a housewife and a bit of a nightowl...no drugs used. this is my first report. I also see quick moving dark shadows on occasion. I observe sky approximately 3 nights per month. I will report from now on! This white hazy object was not my imagination. Could it just be man made? Was very large and distant. Responses anyone?

ON approx 1547,12/06/2020, While taking my taking out for the evening run, I happened to look at the sky and see what appeared to be a triangle shaped object ahead and above me. It was approx 300 feet in the air. From one side and actually 3 sides,I could see various colors . Those flashing colors were on the 3 sides of the vehicle alternately from each side. I could hear no sound and it was moving at what appeared to be a slow pace. I quickly went into my home to get my cell phone to get a video of this event. I tried to video tape it I did check my phone and it does appear I did catch the object on the camera from a distance. The object eventually came to a complete stop and hovered ,I watched this happen for approx 15 minutes and it was still there when I called in the report the UFO Reporting Site.

Turnpike near Bristol township, PA
Heading on PA turnpike heading towards Bristol area, appeared to look like lightning in the sky. But skies were mostly clear. A triangle shaped object appeared, lit up very bright and took off and disappeared into the clouds. The aircraft looked like it had 3 engines on the back and upon taking off left a long trail of lights until it was gone.What looked like lightning may have been lights off the aircraft. As cliche as this might sound it looked like it was something out of a movie. From star wars where a spaceship gets ready for "light speed". I've never seen anything like it in my life. Aircraft was a triangle shape and way to big to be anything from earth. At least that I've ever seen. I was able to make out the shape of the spacecraft from the lights but it appeared to have some type of cloak technology on it.

Lords Valley, PA
Witness lives in wooded rural community in the Poconos off Route 739 with a pond nearby called Elm Pond. Saw out her window an object bigger on top and getting smaller towards bottom like a top. Blue and red light on the lower part of object. Object was also emitting a white beam as if looking for something below. Witness cant see pond directly but knows object was over pond. 4 houses are on far side of pond. Unable to determine actual size but apparent size was bigger than moon and bigger than basketball. Just over treetops. Furthest object could have been from witness is 500 feet give or take. Object was stationary. Did not see it come. Went to bathroom. Returned and object was gone. Did not see it leave. No sound. Witness was unnerved by fact it was shining a search beam looking for something.

I was driving east on Route 222 in central Pennsylvania, a few miles west of Allentown. It was around 7:30 PM yesterday (1 December) and nighttime, but the sky was clear and there was a full moon, so it was a bright night. Suddenly from the south I saw a massive beam of bright green light shoot up from the ground and into the sky. It held there for a moment, maybe ~2 seconds, and then just disappeared. This light was massive, I had a good view of the landscape and it lit everything up for miles around. My first thought was maybe some kind of spotlight or holiday lights, but immediately I knew that was impossible because of the magnitude of the brightness. It lit up everything and was much thicker than a spotlight.

Tic-tac appears approx 200 feet above in Neshaminy State Park, noticed because light reflects off of it into my eyes. I tell my girlfriend to look and she sees it, and then it disappears and we look over toward the Philadelphia skyline, it reappears there, and then disappears again completely out of sight

Seen craft driving home along 412 Durham Road. Circular craft with white lights and red light in the center. Object was not moving and did make a sound. Object was very large and was only a few hundred feet in the air. By the time I turned my car around to take a better photo the object was gone.

Driving on road. Looked out passenger window to see what at first I thought was a very low plane. Put window down to get a better look--was not a plane. My son thought it had to be a tower with lights on it. But we have lived there our whole lives and never have seen a power tower there before. We slowed to about 10 miles per hour so that we could get a better look. It wasn't moving. Just "hovering" in the same spot in the sky. Low to the ground for an aircraft. It was at the height of about a power tower. It had multiple lights going around the craft. One was green. The rest were white that we could tell. When we passed it some on the road and looked back, the lights continued around to the back of the craft, too. Then, a once still object started moving and went out of sight. Not at a fast clip. Just moved right along. No sound. I thought of that later. When I had the window down. If it was a helicopter or plane we would have heard an engine. The! re was no sound.

I was driving East and the sun was beginning to rise. I frequently take pictures of the sunrise, so I was looking in anticipation for the right moment. When I looked up, a small reddish orange light appeared in the dark sky. The light then moved down and up again and disappeared. The shape it formed was a tight letter U. The light was on the right what it appeared then went slightly down and straight up to the left as if it made a letter U. I then looked for afterburner smoke trail but there was nothing in the sky. The whole view only lasted about 2 seconds. It was quick.

Over course of a few weeks I've seen strange lights in the sky on certain nights. Always around the same time. The object(s) fly in the same path it seems. They have flashing lights. That look different depending on how its looked at. I have multiple videos of these unexplained objects.

I was on a walk with my dog and dad and about 100 yards in front of us a group of 7 UFOs flew for about 200 yards in 1/2 second😱only I saw this, as h was looking at a neighbors house. According to my calculations, that's a whopping 704k mph!!! AKA MACH 917.539825 thats faster than the speed of light, at Mach 847030.

Was leaving my house that morning to pick up a sony playstation 5 it was launch day and i noticed the lights and started to film. i was excited to leave and get my new video game console and saw the lights as i watched mostly with my own eyes the lights phased in and out with each other. the lights got bright at times and was radiating on the trees it appeared to be in the treeline and not the mountain i have seen cars on the mountain to the left more and never in this spot. car lights look totally different than this for sure ive lived here for 7 years on and off and have never seen anything like this. In the video i get closer and at the 6:55 mark i hear a voice and its captured in the video it wasnt any neighbor and the sound of a middle age man voice echoed across the field of were this object was. There is a strange light glare in the video and im not sure if its from the street light or a theory of mine is a possible lazer beam i couldnt see if you slow it down at the 1:08-1:09 mark maybe you can see it. I'm not sure if its just the angle the lights are about 2,110 ft away according to google earth according to my belief. The video was recorded with a iphone 12 fully zoomed in. the video speaks for itself I was wanting to get a freeze frame or close up of some kind if possible the video i feel is high tier and just want somebody to analyze it i have the original video timestamped and can back all claims including receipt for the ps5. I have never seen anything like this before or after this event.

McClure, PA
The object at first appeared to be an awfully bright star. While taking my dog out before putting her to bed I witnessed the object 45° in the sky at nearly perfect northwest. Nearly camouflaged as a star the object would dip down, rise up, and seemingly bounce back and forth within a relatively small radius from where I first noticed it. The lights coming from it were brighter than any other light in the sky, but not too much brighter than the brightest star. The nature of the light however was strange and had an LED like glow. It appeared at moments to be looking in various directions which I judged by seeing the light shine around. The color of the light was lighter and whiter than the stars in the sky but appeared to change between a VERY faint red and green tint. We watched the object for a period of 15 minutes before deciding to head inside as the object didn’t appear to be going anywhere. It appeared to be observing or searching for something. Picture! s don’t seem feasible as it was simply too far away and any still shot would look like a star, and I don’t have the video equipment to take a video that could clearly show the object and its movements.

The object observed was a very large oval/disc shaped aircraft that was hovering closer to the ground. The object was blinking red and then immediately took a sharp turn where an oval/disc-like shape was visible and then beamed a bright yellow light, where 3 panels were seen. Other objects were now visible surrounding us but were significantly smaller and flashing in different red and green patterns as the larger aircraft shrunk in size to mimic the other objects seen.

Kelly Crossroads, PA
I am sharing this because of the Covington, PA reported UFO incident dated 10/1/2020. Covington is roughly 2 hours or so North of Kelly Crossroads. I am admittedly and unapologetically a UFO skywatcher, it's not my fault I watch the sky more than the average person who is oblivious to it. I watch the sky a lot but to actually slow stop my vehicle in a 45-50 MPH zone oblivious to traffic is a different story. It was about 7:00 PM, weather was calm and the sky was not particularly clear that night. So as soon as I came into the clearing after the KC intersection, on my right there was what seemed to be some type of larger drone or possibly even a life flight helicopter. It was blinking green and white lights in a similar manner as they do, but I began to raise an eyebrow when I noticed that the lights were not moving like a helicopter or drone should. They remained stationary. Like it was just hovering directly over these people's houses, we're talking maybe 7! 5-100 ft tops. When stopped my vehicle, I did notice that there was someone else standing beside their vehicle there who was watching the same thing above their house as I was... so this was where my reasoning stemmed when I didn't report it before reading the Covington individual's account. I brushed it off because I'd figured it was just something logical since someone else was seeing it too and if it was important I would hear about it since it's a small town. However, as I drove further and further toward Kuhns sawmill I could still see the thing in my rear view every so often because it would do a weird "strobing" thing you'd expect from a strobe light. Extremely bright and white in color. I was about 2 or 3 miles away by the last time I could see it and its brightness hadn't changed in intensity from when I was right next to it- so to speak. What they seen up in Covington is pretty much what I seen in a rural area roughly two hours south from their location.! So I had to at least report it because even if it can be expl! ained, t hen these people are owed an explanation for why someone is basically invading their homes

Oakdale, PA
I was laying in bed when I looked out of my window and saw a light in the sky. At first, I thought it was a plane, because the airport isn’t too far from my home, but it didn’t act like a plane. I was staying in one spot for a minute, and then it would move over a bit to the right and stop again. When it moved, it would leave a trail of light behind it. The UFO was also fading in and out, like the light would die out and then come back again. After watching it for a minute, it started making a decent at about at 45 degree angle, but I am unsure if it landed or not. The UFO was admitting a haze around itself, and looked like a shooting star at first.
