Too hard to describe. Needs to be seen in person. This object cant be seen without a night vision security camera. You can not see with the naked eye.

It was around 11pm when 2 flying objects were witnessed. At first, a small circular aircraft with blinking red lights hovered above the treeline and moved irregularly across the sky. I followed its movements until I saw another, this time much larger in size. It was enormous and elongated, like a saucer, with a row of bright red lights. Almost immediately; the object flew straight up, took a hard left turn, and while hovering; angled, beamed a bright yellow light at my fiance and I for a couple of seconds. It was so bright that I froze in my spot. The light was coming from 3 panels on the aircraft. The yellow beam of light stopped and the object started moving irregularly in the same direction as the blinking red lights until it became as small as the first object.

Pine Grove, PA
Looking up in the night sky in Pine Grove I was attempting to watch the metor showers. Looking up, at first I thought I saw two satallites. However they started changing directions and seems too close together to be satatlittes. The two of them would stop then move left then move right. It looked like a light show. They were very high so that is why I thought they were satallites at first. This went on for about 3 min. The dance stopped and they seemed to blend back into the back ground of night stars.

Saw a string of bright white lights hovering or slowly moving above South Mountain. We were in the car and lost sight of it as the road turned.

While coming home from shopping I observed a rectangular object in the northwest sky that looked like and advertising banner that's pulled behind a plane only there was no plane. The object remained stationary horizontally about 500 to 1000 ft in altitude but moved slowly from east to west while sighted. As I glanced away for a second or two to pull up to my house to take a photo it disappeared from sight. The sky was cloudy and it's possible it may have entered one. I stayed a short while longer before unloading my car to see if it would reappear, but it didn't.

Early trick or treating. Still daylight. The orb zoomed away at a fast speed going up at a 30 degree angle.

So there was this weirdly shaped dark object that had a halo of light around it, it was slowly moving in a specific direction. No wind. it was almost like a clumpy shape. I have a video of it.

Saw a long line of lights (or one only illuminated line) moving N to S at what appeared to be high altitude aircraft speed, but closer to the ground and hundreds of feet long.

We all looked up at the 'star' and it turned out to be this big, long string of lights that was moving very rapidly. We watched it as I drove for about 3 minutes and then all 5 of us suddenly lost sight of it. The craft was very long and looked like a string of Christmas lights, moving perfectly straight through the sky.

I'm a military veteran and have seen numerous aircraft, obviously. I do not have ANY interest in UFO sightings, or any possible nonsense that gets people caught up in this stuff, which I think is ridiculous. I was bringing groceries in my house and I noticed an orb with scintillating red lights. Thinking it was a satellite, I dismissed it. But this would flicker in an oscillating pattern which is uncommon for a satellite - thus piquing my interest. I have a 40 x 60 spotting scope, and when under max view, an image of a nebulous orb-like, trans-morphic disc came into view that would look, for a lack of a better description, something extra-dimensional as the red to reddish orange luminescence of it was entering and exiting this dimensional simultaneously - very difficult to describe - not necessarily emitting objects, but more of a hue that changes color - almost as if watching a photonic effect waivering from a movie projector against a wall, only many miles! away in the sky, obviously. The object is stationary and is not trailing anywhere. I apologize if this is a poor rendering of what it exhibited, but that would be the best way that I can codify it into words, as it is nothing like I have ever seen before. I’m sure it is probably some new classified technology before it is really some alien craft lol – but nonetheless, I thought it would be worthwhile to document this as something in the future we can possibly look back on to either confirm nor deny the existence of said object, or said technology.

I went outside to warm my car up and noticed a intensely bright white light in the northeastern horizon about a third of the way up into the sky. The light was pure white and extremely bright, like a pure white LED bulb. The light was not close to the land. At first I thought it might be Venus or another star, but it moved slightly and I had never seen a star in that position in the sky or at that magnitude. As I watched it, I noticed there were at least three other dimmer lights around it, and it looked like the lights formed a pyramid shape with this brighter light. I don't know if these lights were part of the first light or were separate entities. As I watched, another dimmer white light approached the first group of lights from the north and I lost sight of it behind or among the other lights. I had to leave and didn't see what happened to them. I checked the same area in the sky the next morning, but everything appeared "normal."

Lived near Philadelphia International Airport and Trenton-Mercer Airport for over 30 years, objects in the sky do not catch my attention. I am also a bit of a weekend warrior space nerd and am familiar with "looking up" to admire the sky, space station passes, sky safari and NASA apps, that sort of thing so I do realize the various and sometimes seamingly abnormal or environmental/weather variables and being a self-employed remodeling contractor, realize that different angles can be misleading especially with depth perception and other Earthly phenomenon. Having said that just for clarification that I am not easily impressed or wild at things in the sky I did I do rationally make the ductions for everything in life, however this was nothing like anything I've ever seen. Bees two objects that originally caught my attention where somewhere in our atmosphere I would say distance wise. Other than that, I have no way of comparing distance to make specific, only that the intense color like a fire almost these two objects were lit up so bright I immediately started thinking about how. As stated, the distance looked like it was too close to be lit up by the Sun as a space station is, these were definitely self-generated lights. Unlike crafts with specifically placed marker lights and strobe lights, these were solid and color and did not blink or give other indicators of a typical aircraft. Speeds where unimpressive and nothing out of the ordinary as someone that is located near airportsis used too. Within five seconds of seeing these objects, I ran inside to alert my family members, pass through the house to the front yard, as 2 more objects we're moving across behind the first set. As those pass by and went behind building in trees horizon, 2 more preceded by in the same fashion, at a slightly faster Pace but still ordinary. As stated, nothing two impressive or attention-getting about anything besides the intense color of t! hese objects. Though these objects were much larger, the overa! ll tone almost looked like Mars on a very clear night. Family member that was immediately behind me after I ran through the house and alerted them, immediately saw what I was looking for and said outloud "oh my gosh what is that that's definitely not normal" and proceeded to repeat "that's not normal" several times and I have to say, she was right. I did pull out my cell phone and do you have the objects on video, however being at night time and zooming in at distance while probably shaking from adrenaline or such, needless to say the object in my video looks like anything would look at a distance at night time on a shakey cell phone and is pointless to review for furthering of any conclusive facts or answers. If it was not for this intense color, I would have assumed these were group formations going to McGuire Air Force Base approximately 40 miles away these however we're no aircraft that I've ever seen before or knew existed. Do not know what I saw exactly b! ut I know I've never seen anything like it before and again, that is only because of the intense color and how odd it was with no other identification or typical characteristics. Hard to describe in an impressive manner but I can only say it was impressive enough to leave a lasting impression on me. Don't have any evidence to base this off of obviously, but when I'm looking at something I can judge it pretty well as I said, gauging distance I immediately thought of the space station but this was too close to be out of Earth's Shadow. Definitely self generated lighting and it looked to be over the entirety of these objects. Not just strategically placed Lighting in specific places, almost like an exterior shell of all LED panels one would say as an example, where the entire viewable surface is 1 seamless solid light. I will also add, in video at night viewing any lit object, everything appears to look exactly like I just described. In person however, these objects were clo! se enough to see how it 100% truly was illuminated. No sound ! Was Hear d, which again was not out of the ordinary, due to the distance being far enough away to fit with typical airplane sightings and the sound of associated with them through muscle memory I suppose. Nothing else to add other than pretty much all average characteristics and movements and or other descriptive details other than the color and intensity of its illumination which unless was witnessed in person is probably underwhelming to hear a long winded person attempt to describe in detail. Whatever it was was surely cool and impacted be enough to lead me to this website which 24 hours ago I didn't know existed.

We watched a craft about 600-700 feet above the homes behind my friends back deck jumping around the sky. It changed colors going from red to green to bright white and was blinking widely and appeared to not move despite going from one spot to another in the sky in the blink of an eye. It would also appear to jerk around the sky at points and was totally silent. We also observed a regular plane divert its course and drop low practically hugging the tops of the homes to avoid what ever this was. It had a clear oval shape to it every time it blinked and we both were able to capture videos of it and on video you could see just how fast this thing really was.

At about 9:00 pm on 10/10/20 I looked at the sky above my front yard and saw a bright light, colored very green move in an arc across the sky. It was large and moved moderately quickly. It was shaped in a circle, but my impression was a sphere. I had only a small viewing site between two large trees. I observed for only about three seconds. I am a long time sky watcher, and have seen meteorites, fireballs, space station, planes, Chinese lanterns, weather satellites... but I never saw anything like this before. I am a teacher and a college graduate, as well as an outdoors person. I was so puzzled I posted about it on facebook, and asked if anyone else had seen it. Seven other people in my area responded that they had, with all the same details. I find that remarkable. I asked a family member, and she found a site that took reports on meteorites. 58 people in my general tri state area reported very similar sightings, with same particulars.

When sitting outside at night tonight I witnessed one typical jet fly over head. The jet was recognizable and had normal noise coming from above. After the regular jet craft passed by residence, three smaller oval shaped crafts were spotted in the place of origin in the sky around where the jet first originated. They were all the same size. There was no visible trails coming from them and there was no engine noise heard throughout the entire sky. One oval had two white lights that flashed over to one red light, alternating back and forth every few seconds. The other two ovals had only one flashing white light that alternated to one red light every few seconds as well. Once the plane passed and the ovals were sighted the one with three lights flew straight up very slowly in a straight vertical line and the other two met lower in the sky towards the middle of the sky more. The oval with three flashings lights, that flew straight up then flew side ways/down to join the two lights lower down. All three of the ovals lights alternated throughout this entire period. After they were stationary in the sky for about a minute, the oval with three lights quickly flew on the path that the jet has just passed over a few minutes earlier, over the residence. The other two ovals stayed stationary for a few more seconds and then slowly drifted in the complete opposite direction.

I was outside looking up (honestly not sure why). I saw a white cigar/long capsule shaped object moving at between 5,000 to 15,000 mph (guessing based on speed and altitude). The object was traveling southwest to the northeast. There were no noticeable jet plumes. I immediately yelled for my wife and as soon as she arrived the object was gone. It was traveling aerodynamically. My family is tired of me talking about my experience.
