There were two rectangle crafts one farther away than the other. Both moving at a slow pace and each craft had 4 semi see through lines floating around each rectangle. It almost looked like a blip on a screen. I think maybe there is a reasonable explaination? There were no lights and it looked like a shadow. Hard to explain.

A large bright blue spherical light was seen over the Susquehanna River, Selinsgrove, PA, (USA) at 7:20 AM on Tuesday, April 28. 2020. Out for a morning walk, we stopped at the boat launch at the Isle of Que in Selinsgrove, looked up, and saw the blue light over the water coming from the direction of the Shamokin Dam power plant. If one looks to the left of the object, they will see the steam stacks from the power plant. I quickly took the picture on an iPhone 7. The camera mode was set to "live" on the phone. The image on my phone is moving from the water to the mountain quickly. I am only able to transfer the still image. I was able to magnify the light, as seen in the second picture that was sent to ufocntr@nwlink.com

I stepped outside late Tuesday night to admire the extra clear covid-19 lockdown skies. I found it odd that the south sky had more bright stars than normal. I traced the curve of the big dipper's handle with my eyes arcing down to Arcturus followed by a brighter white 'star' and then finally to Spica. The center 'star' was just about halfway between the other two. I watched the bright 'star' for about 5 seconds. I could see no evidence of motion. Being a little rusty on the night sky and beginning to doubt I was looking in the right area, I decided to check myself. I again found the big dipper and followed the curve of the handle to Arcturus. Now the middle star was gone. I fixed on the area trying to find it. Soon it returned in the same place. As I watched, it dimmed and disappeared for a few seconds then again brightened into view having the same brightness as before. I failed to find any flashing lights that would belong to an aircraft or notice any slight change in position. The trees were low and I had nothing close enough for reference on movement. As I moved to get a tree top closer to my line of sight it again faded to nothing. I stopped and watched carefully looking for flashing lights or for it to reappear. I kept my eyes on the south sky for several minutes searching for any light that might be aircraft or satellite, but nothing. The few times it dimmed or brightened it did so over about 1 second and then held that brightness or lack of. I know this is rather weak as sightings go and it was quite likely a satellite. However it did seem unusual when it failed to leave the spot where I originally saw it (as best I could tell), and apparently reflected sunlight to me even though it was on the dark side of the Earth (if it was a satellite). If I didn't mention something it didn't happen (like lost time).

My spouse was outside at approximately 21:00 and happened to look up and saw what resembled the constellation Orion, but she realized they were moving. We yelled to our 23 year old son who is a US Army veteran to come look at what we were seeing and as I looked in the opposite direction in the sky, I observed over twenty additional lights, all moving SE in a strait line, no noise, equally spaced, no pulsing lights and traversed the area of sky in 90 seconds.

I saw roughly 20 lights flying overhead. They were lined up in a straight row. Unsure of the distance between each light but they were all in a straight line moving at a modest speed, all moving at the same speed.

Cold misty, very light fog, 26deg F, wind calm, over cast at 1000ft Searched sky, over the barn to the Northwest was an orange orb, generally spherical, it was not clear, fuzzy, this may have been due to the misty conditions. The object traveled slowly less than 10 MPH to the Northwest appx. on a 330 degree heading and faded away, into the mist. No sound was heard. From object, when first arrived outside notice all the dogs down the valley were barking. Don’t know if they continued as was focused on attempting to get camera to function as witness 2 had arrived with his camera. The object was about 20ft dia, a light orange with a little red cast. It was a UFO/UAP as I could not identify it. Background witness 1: Retired US Navy 24 yr, Electronics Technician 1965 to 1990. Retired high school instructor Electronics, New York state.

It was about 3 in the morning, my sister went out to smoke a cigarette. She messaged me and said there's something hovering in the sky, I ran outside and there it was. It was triangular and fairly low to the ground. It sat in one position before moving above the tree line and out of sight. I was playing xbox with my friends at the time and told them I think I just saw a UFO. They asked me about a dozen times what I was talking about and it took me about 5 minutes to respond because I just couldn't get the words out. It was almost impossible to explain something like that. The next day I woke up to a message from a friend who lives about 3 minutes away from me, he said his mother and both of his sisters saw exactly what I saw along with a description which was the same as mine. I'm glad someone else saw it other than my sister and I or I'd think I'm going crazy.

On April 20, 2020, at 2100 hours (9:00 pm), a clear night, in backyard in quiet town, my husband and I noticed a formation of star-like lights in the sky, like a dipper, but as we were looking at this stretch of lights across the sky, we noticed there was no dipper - just a long handle - and each star-like light appeared to be of equal distance from the other, and they were gliding, quietly, in a SW to NE direction. By the time we noticed this, there were 8-10 of the lights. There may have been more already gone by and this could have been the tail end. It lasted less than 2-3 minutes. By the time I ran in and got my camera, they were all gone over. We would like to know, at least, if this was something of known origin and planned like drones/airplanes/Airforce related or actual unidentified. Thank you. Feel free to contact.

Now this is the 2nd time, exactly 2 weeks from the last encounter, in the exact same area and around the exact same time, but first sighting lasted 5 1/2hrs. Now this object, on separate encounters, was exactly the same shape and size. A large chrome half dome object with 5 lights dangling underneath it on separate tentacles and different lengths. It was accompanied by 2 smaller ones that were orbiting it and dancing around. The 1st encounter, which lasted roughly 6 hours, I wanted to use a lazer pointer to get it's attention, but I only had a L.E.D. headlamp. So I focused the beam and I 2-3-2 at it and it started to, I guess you can it sorta acknowledged us. Where we were, saw, doing and witnessing I told my buddy that no one will believe us. Exactly 2 weeks later, same time and same area, my girlfriend and I were enjoying the night, when I looked out the window and got startled and said to my girlfriend " They came back! They came back! They're here! I knew they would come back!!" She started yelling " Who came back???" I told her to look and look she did. The expression on her face was priceless. I told her " See??! You and my mom think I'm fucking crazy, well is that crazy??" She didn't know what to say but she was in awww. This time I came equipped with a 632nm Lazer pointer and 3500luemen L.E.D. tact. light. So I 2-3-2 at it and it stayed hovering above us after about an hour we left for my house and hoping that it followed. Arriving out front of my house, looked up and to my hoping, there it was. It followed us and hovered about 1/2- 3/4 miles directly above us. 1 thing I can tell you that don't try to use a telescope in hurry to zoom in on an object. It don't work to the way you need it to. I would've written everything to detail but I'm too lazy to and don't have the patience either, but I can tell you 1 thing tho. It was real and what the media is saying it's a satellite? Bullshit! Satellites can't defy gravity. No propeller motion and certainly not exhaust because exhaust mean! s thrust This was silent and hovering. Nada can blow smoke up your ass but not mine, it's common sense. BTW, both encounters, not a single jet in the sky as far as we could see

Clifton Heights, PA
For the past couple of months I have noticed what appears to be strange white clusters of lights in the sky over our house in Clifton Heights, PA. They are not airplanes because they seem to be hovering with only small lateral movements and no sound. They appear to have a cluster of white lights and they hover just near the cloud line (when there are clouds). One night I saw three in a row seem to come into formation, hover for about 10 minutes, then slowly move away. Tonight I saw 5-7 of them. One seemed particularly bigger and brighter than the rest. I suspected they might be drones but I believe it is illegal to fly drones at night in PA. I see them regularly and they always seem to be in the same spots in the sky. Sometimes I will go inside the house for a while and when I come back out they are gone. And no I ruled out stars because I can see them moving. One night several months ago I witnessed something very strange that I almost can not believe ! myself but I saw something rise from the roof of my neighbors house then without a sound I saw a rocket-like propulsion, no smoke trail oddly then it suddenly disappeared. I could not tell exactly how big it was but if I had to guess it was smaller than a compact car. Also I was notvunder the influence of anything. I will attempt to get some video footage this weekend of the cluster of lights I see regularly.

Tonight I saw a bright light or cluster of bright lights hover for over an hour silently at about 2,000 feet above the city below our mountain side neighborhood. It was consistent perhaps a tight cluster of very bright lights. We have never seen this type of phenomenon before. I videoed it after surveilli8it with 10 power binos. No reasonable explanation.

Just watched at least 50 objects fly over central pa. Only looked like a light, airplane I imagine, but definitely government movement. All flying in straight line from west to East roughly separated by 20 degrees, 2 fist lengths apart from each other. No sounds coming from them and could here other passengers craft so my guess altitude was very high. Possibly the new satellites. Not sure where they are flying at this time

Saw circular object in the sky holding steady which did not appear to be a star. I filmed it and watched it for a while until it started to lift up and disappear. I then watched the video and it appear to be constantly slightly moving in the sky during the video and the bottom was lit up.

Was looking up to sky to see the visibility of stars and moon when I seen what I thought to be an airplane but was definitely not any conventional aircraft known to me or my neighbor. As I got away from the trees and was watching it from the adjacent farm field it became obvious that this was nothing I ever seen before and was shaped like a perfect triangle. It was about 150 -200 feet above the treetops and moving very slowly to the South and it slowed down and changed height before quickly taking off at high rate of speed to the east. The lights were very defined on all three points and blinked in unison with each other but also had steady lights also on the three points. And they changed colors and intensities as the blinking lights changed frequency and sometimes blinking stopped but steady green and or white lights persisted at varying brightness. I also view what looks like a very bright star most nights to the west of my house. It is not there every n! ight and it only stays there for several minutes to a couple hours then usually leaves to the South East. This other object that I see regularly, appears to giver about 300-400 ft above the farms and fields about 3/4 to 1.5 miles to west and changes altitude and sways left to right while getting closer and further. I suspect this is some type of surveillance or data gathering drone but it must be much larger than the common drone that most people are familiar with. No sounds can be heard from either object.

At about 9:00pm I was outside and say a very bright light north west of my home near Bath PA 18014 in the direction of the Blue Mountain. I noticed it was motionless and made no sound. I went inside to get my wife and daughter and they came out to see what I described. Their thoughts were it was a helicopter, a balloon with lights, or a blimp. As it did not move, made zero sound and was extremely bright I personally assumed it was a UFO. I have never witnessed such a bright motionless object. The distance from my vantage point was more than a mile but again, it was at the same place for 35-40 minutes and again, no sound.

The object was coming from the west, and was completely silent. It had a large white light that kept going back and forth, almost like an eye. It gave me the creeps and I froze, not wanting it to see me.. It suddenly vanished after passing over Bath Road. We proceeded to walk, and a second, identical object appeared following the first object. That one disappeared also! Again, I had that creepy feeling and felt like I did not want the object to detect us. They looked sinister. Unfortunately, I left my phone at home on the charger, so I could not take a picture.(MUFON CMS)

Approximately 2030 on April 1st, 2020 I witnessed what resembled a fast-moving V shaped (boomerang) cloud traveling east to west. It had no sound or lights. About three to five minutes later, another similar object appeared and was traveling in the same east to west direction. This object contained three dim round lights, one in the middle and one at each end. The moon lit sky was clear at this time with no low-level clouds.

Sunday March 29, 2020 at just around 10:00 P.M. I saw two star-like objects moving quickly and erratically around the sky. One of these objects seemed to be chasing the other one through the sky, just slightly behind it. They looked just a tad dimmer than the stars around them, and there was no blinking emitting from them like there is on a plane or satellite. They were so dim, they would occasionally fade out of my sight and then reappear. They were moving in no set pattern, and they would change direction randomly. I followed them for a span of about five minutes, where they then passed underneath the handle of the Big Dipper and then disappeared. I’ve seen this same exact thing around four other times: two star-like objects seemingly chasing each other randomly in the sky before disappearing. I’m an astrophotographer, so I am always out under the night sky and observing the stars very closely. I know when I see things that are planes, drones, helicopters, or satellites. This recurring instance is not comprised of any of these. I’m very familiar with the night sky, and this is something that I genuinely cannot wrap my head around.
