Doylestown, PA
UFO SIGHTING IN DOYLESTOWN, PA We have a 2 acre property with a Doylestown address but in the New Hope/Solebury area. It was at 9:48 p.m. and we were sitting in our backyard, 1 of us in the hot-tub, the other two sitting around the firepit next to the hot tub, when we saw a large dark object hovering just above the tree line about 200 yards away. The object was about the size of half a football field. We could feel its vibration above the hot tub bubbles but it was quiet. It seemed to be in the shape of a triangle. There were 3 green lights on the object. It moved slowly and then it disappeared. All 3 of us saw it. It was too large to be a helicopter or an airplane.

Upper Salford, PA
Heard a loud sound like a jet taking off at 11:30 PM. There is no airport in the area that would cause a sound like that. This morning, friend in the neighborhood confirmed that her daughter said that her loft/apartment shook and she heard a loud sound like a jet as well. Her son said that he saw 3 green flashes of light, but unable to capture photo.

I was driving on a road when I saw a circular ball of white light. I watched it before I drove past some trees. It didn't seem to move and looked like it was made out of metal. After a few seconds, it disappeared. I clearly saw it and even looked around the sky to see if I had missed it. The sun was very bright that day with few clouds.

Saw what I thought was a satellite moving very slow from east to west with slight erratic left and right movement. Observed for approximately 5 minutes then almost completely vanished in an instant. Looked as if it left a slide vapor trail which quickly disappeared.

North Wales, PA
Saw an illuminated orb-shaped object while traveling North on 202 (was a passenger in a car, driver did not witness). Object was traveling relatively slowly (similar speed to a bi-plane) towards the South in a consistent linear path. Orb-shaped object appeared to be metallic and was highly reflective. The object was not remotely shaped like a conventional commercial aircraft, nor did it have any sort of hazard lights. Witnessed object traveling for about 5-10 seconds, turned away, then upon turning back the object was nowhere in sight. Tried to monitor that section in sky for a few minutes after initially seeing the object but couldn’t identify it a second time.

Two black sphere-shaped crafts were hovering in the sky after a massive thunderstorm . The clouds cleared up there were those two figures slowly moving around from left to right. We thought they were drones, but we saw a drone pass by and could easily rule that out as an option.

Tonight June 2 2020 we both seen one it was there and we both said did you see that, then it disappeared. These are the only times either one of us seen anything like that in our lives.

These could have been something like an ICBM, but I struggle with the thought of being able to see the orange glow of an ICBMs rocket booster at such a range. I’ve seen some weird things as a skywatcher, but nothing as inexplicable as this.

Mars, PA
I was driving eastbound down route 228 near the town of Mars PA. At first I saw three steady white lights horizontal to each other. I commented to my passenger that was weird because in my experience airplane lighting does not look like that, there were no visible red or green wingtip lights or strobes. I am a student pilot and I know what normal airplane lighting looks like. As we drove I realized we were catching up to the object and that is was hovering in place around 1000 agl. It was stationary over the woods to the left of the road. As we got closer to underneath it I could see a red light toward the middle rear of the triangular object. I thought it might be a drone at first but I have not seen any drones shaped like triangles. We then drove past it and I lost sight of it. I’m not 100% certain that what I saw is a ufo, but I honestly don’t know what else it could be. If someone could explain that would be greatly appreciated

Bridgeville, PA
Looked out my window and noticed something in the sky. My immediate thought was a balloon slowly rising or just stuck in the wind. Looking closer it was very spherical and would have to be a huge balloon. It started drifting to my left (looking up from Bridgeville PA) and slowly away, generally heading NW towards Pittsburgh Airport. It moved very slowly and faded into the distance. I'm certain it wasn't a helicopter or plane. Only possibilities in my mind are UFO or a drone. As it went into the distance it "lit up" a few times. I really believe it was just reflecting early morning sun rays as it moved. Still, that happened as it drifted further away, so it *had* to be pretty sizable to make that kind of reflection. The reflection itself was very bright. Not as in lighting up the sky, just the object itself lit up, like metal reflecting sunlight. If this was a drone, it had to have been very large. I tried taking video with my phone through my window and screen, which didn't work. The object was too far at that point to pick up on my phone camera. I've been watching the sky now for about 30 minutes and see nothing. Perhaps you will receive other reports from the Pittsburgh area today.

Bethlehem, PA
It looked to be like an airplane heading south coming from the northeast, except 3/4 of the craft was a very bright orange... almost as if the craft was on fire, but still kept going instead of looking for a place to land. I was able to see small greenish blue lights where the wing tips would be, but only for a short while. It continued in a leisurely fashion staying at a low altitude, all the while heading south. It resembled a cone in it's shape because of the smallish tail of glowing orange trailing. The whole timeframe took about 5 minutes before I was no longer able to see it.

As I watched the night sky about 10:30pm the stars were so bright and shining all over. One star started to move across the sky in a zig zag fashion for about 10 seconds

Last night I saw at least 6-7 that does not look like stars even its visible. 6 of them stayed one spot and it has multi color red/green/blue flashing like zip zap all over the sky. I also witnessed giant orange ball like that has two smaller circle (sort of reminded me Jet that "fire" comes out end when they start to fly) above my house and bigger (so it seem) than others with colors. I watch them with my two different binoculars and I could see clearly what I SAW. I watch them at least 30 min.

I live on the 41st floor looking north and i noticed what i thought was a metal balloon floating towards the west but it was further so i thought it was like a bed sheet but it wasn't changing course so i watched it and it was about a mile from my location still moving westward and its altitude was about 380ft (figured using the building next to it) and it was shiny metal almost like white gold and it reflected the sunlight to shine about 4 or 5 times while i was watching at a pretty slow tempo compared to how fast it was moving - it continued west and increased altitude about 15/30 ft but stayed relatively level - I didn't see where its trajectory was coming from but it seemed like the same course. it didn't disappear irregularly but was out of sight maybe within 1.5 minutes. The entire time it did not exceed my current position in altitude - not trying to be too technical just trying to be accurate. It it was spinning it seemed to spin counterclockwise. I ! often see planes fly by and relative to the speed of a plane it was moving maybe 2.5x as fast. Ah the shape was difficult to resolve - I would say it was close to the dimensions of a fedex truck or shipping container. It was rounded though no sharp corners so its profile looked like a bar of soap without dimples or a puffer fish but if it was spinning then i dont know what shape it would actually be. It is also very windy today and the object didn't seem to be affected or make any overt sounds (and i can hear sirens at that distance easily). [currently there is a fire on the train tracks directly below where the object passed over and my internet was bad for a while but i really dont think they are related]

Gulf Mills, PA
Driving on I76 near Gulf mills an craft with red blinking lights was going back in forth over the hill side. Then just suddenly stop over the highway and started beaming an blue beam of light down on the highway. Zig zagging the light on the hills & the highway for about 1 to 2mins. IT was cigar shaped with red,blue,green, orange & yellow lights but there were more red lights & the other colors blinked on & off never on at the same time. The red lights stay on the whole time but there were red blinking lights also. The light came from the middle & it was day light blue in color. We recorded it but we was to late to catch the beam coming out of it but still got the craft. S cared the hell out of me 😂. Then zipped away like nothing ever never happened. Whole experience 2 - 4mins.

Witness had been alone in the radio room. went out "in a flash" but didn't see anything. However whatever had triggered the MADAR had also caused a power outage, He reportedly loss all power, even his radios that are on battery backup. Skies generally clear, stars visible but sun just coming up, low mist, temp 29 degrees f, winds from south at 5 km/hr. area, rural. "Cattle across the valley were very upset, not just making a lot of noise, but jumping and running around."

Elverson, PA
On Saturday may 9th, @10:56, I pointed my camera at the night sky and recorded a mysterious ball of light popping in and out of existence and moving at incredibly Fast speeds. I was able to screenshot my video and make it bigger so I can get a clear picture of the object. The shape of the object was unlike anything I have ever seen. The object was mainly square shaped but it resembled a square shaped lowercase e.

Greensburg, PA
Around 3:30am, I was driving along Route 66 southbound just heading into Greensburg when I first caught glimpse of what I thought was a star, but this thing was super bright, even brighter than Venus, that it immediately caught my eye, so I knew it couldn't have been a planet. At that point, this thing had to have been about a mile and a half away, and the closer I got to it, it seemed to just hover in the same spot. I passed Shop 'n Save and this thing is now almost right overhead, and I could tell that it was a triangular formation of three lights, and it was literally floating across the sky at a snail's pace. I also noticed that one of the lights were pulsating on and off. I continued on towards Greensburg and lost sight of the object. Not sure what I had seen but it gave me a pretty weird feeling.

South Williamsport, PA
This was a very bright orange wegde shaped triangle seen at night, flying silently. There were no flashes, like on an airplane, the entire craft was a glowing fire-colored orange. It didn't make any noise as it flew probably 1000 feet above the ground. We watched until the trees blocked our view. It flew in a steady, straight path.

Appeared to look like a bright star and quickly changed shapes. While recording a r in ng appeared around it and inside would change color. Also would change shape back into star like appearance

Bensalem, PA
At approximately 9:58PM on May 1, 2020, I went outside to let my dog out. I immediately noticed something bright and stationary in the sky. It was just hovering. There was no noise and it appeared to be spinning. I pulled out my cellphone to record it. My son who was sitting in his car outside the house asked what I was doing. He then got out of the car and began recording as well. The object appeared to be spinning but it was hard to get a detailed video. As my son continued to record, I ran in the house to grab a camera. I began shooting video with the camera as well. The object appeared to be circular and had something spinning around it almost like energy. The object appeared to quickly zigzag. As I scanned the sky I noticed there were more of these objects... not as big as the first object I observed. Maybe two or three more. As I tried to get a better shot, they were gone. The whole experience lasted about 8 minutes.
