While driving from my house to work, a disc shaped object with a rather high center on top passed about 30 feet above the tree tops and continued on its way. There were no "lights" but rather the whole body of the craft was a pale gray color and the body itself seemed to have a glowing hue. There was no noise and it did not create a wind to move the leaves on the trees though it was moving very fast. I did not see any type of windows or anything on the bottom, it was smooth. the center on the top was not a very smooth rise from the circumference. Though the center was much higher there was no spinning of the outer rim. I saw no moving parts at all. It was very low to me and I was able to get a very very clear view. There were aircraft at normal altitudes above the mountains but none right in the area. I live in the mountains of North East Pennsylvania and it was still light out in good weather conditions. It was heading Northeast at ! a high rate of speed. If continuing it would have passed over Milford PA into NY state and then over Vermont into New Hampshire then the most northern part of Maine.

Emmaus, PA
I was walking my dog at 10:30 as i arrived home i looked up and saw what appeared to be a fire ball moving across sky in my direction. I called in to my wife and kids and they came out and witnessed it. Then it stopped moving and hovered, no longer moving across sky. It did this for about 60 minutes and then literally just disappeared.

Dozens of odd shaped lights traveling at snail pace in the sky. Some traveling in triangle formation and some alone. One large craft stood still mostly but moved on occasion ascending and descending. Large bright light. Family member reported seeing the same about a mile away as well as one flickering on and off with red lights. Definitely an ongoing thing seeing these craft at night. Also there has been a military presence of helicopters in the area. I mean as I type this, there are probably about 5 traveling at super low speed almost hovering just above the houses. There must be dozens more in the distant sky. They almost have a hangman shape to them. Some seem to skip and flicker and others just hover or descend from higher in the sky.

Was looking at what I thought was a star. Then realized it was slowly moving. Went to take a picture and it moved fast from the sky and almost vanished.

Latrobe, PA
Driving home with my wife when we both saw a white circle appear moving quickly across the sky in front of us. It was definitely high in the atmosphere. Same color/shape as a satellite, but very large compared to any I have seen before, including the ISS. It was too slow to be a shooting star but too fast to be a satellite. Object then stopped abruptly and "hovered" in place for roughly 5-7 seconds before blinking then rapidly accelerating away. About 3 seconds after it disappeared an aircraft flew the same exact route as the light as if it was following it.

At approximately 10pm I observed a red/orange orb or sphere traveling right to left above the horizon. i was in my back yard, i noticed a 2nd then 3rd orb, one following the next. i called my cousin out into the yard to see it also. we noticed there was no contrail, it was a clear sky and cloudless night, the moon was visible, as well as contrails from other aircraft at higher altitudes. I couldn't tell if the 3 lights were connected or part of one craft or if it was 3 separate craft. what i did take notice to was it was absolute silent, there were no strobe lights, although there where aircraft (single engine) that were in the area, i could hear them and see their strobes. The orbs disappeared behind a building. the sighting was between strawberry street and filbert street in Lancaster pa. When they where no longer in view i checked the time it was 10:10pm/20:10hrs .

Moon Township, PA
While taking a photo of the moon Saturday evening on 3/7/2020, I was zoomed in on the moon and noticed a large blue glowing object, I took a picture, * at 5x zoom on my I-Phone 11, I then took another picture on the live setting and captured the blue mass split into 3 or 4 balls moving away then back together again. They were moving before the flash went off and also during and after flash. then it was gone.

Not really sure if it was a single triangular craft. Saw three bright amber lights that appeared to be moving in unison. Two fairly close together, and the other much farther apart from the first two. Seen in the eastern sky. Could have been three individual planes, however the lights did not seem to be blinking, and the oddest thing to me was the solid amber color. Most planes I see are white lights with blue and or red blinking lights. After about 3 minutes they disappeared from view.

Reading, PA
On Friday night at about 7:45 PM I took notice to numerous orange colored lights passing by our property in the sky. The objects appeared round in shape. My wife also viewed the lights and videotaped same with cell phone. The objects made no noise as they passed. At times they would appear in view at 3 or 4 in single file. They appeared to come from a westward location and headed in an eastern direction. There were no flashing lights on the objects, just a lone orange colored light for each object. We have to say we saw at least 25 of these objects .It was snowing lightly at the time of the event. There was a delay in reporting because we awaited any report appearing in the local news (none seen). I have been employed in law enforcement for 36 years. My wife is in the education field.

I was looking due West at Venus in the clear sky in for 10-14 minutes and watched these bright white, sphere crafts shoot one by one, bottom left of Venus, and traverses upward diagonally, until I counted 30 in a perfect symmetrical line, evenly spaced at a 1000’, Materializing one after another and no more than 4 at a time visible, and then disappearing after a good 3 miles across the sky, all of them, please tell me somebody else saw all this, impossible not to have. I have video and photos

Standing outside looking NW we see a dot come from behind a cloud, followed by another and another, etc. These "lights" were not flashing. All followed one behind the other, appears to be equal distants apart. The "Lights" would appear from behind a cloud, travel some distance and disappear one after the other. Thisbwas not an "illusion" as the clouds moving EW and we saw them all pass an actual star to prove to us the "lights" were in fact moving.

i was looking at venus which was very bright. and to the right of venus i saw a dim light which rapidly become brighter and faded again. it appeared the light was traveling in the sky. once it would disappear, the dim light would reappear again, get brighter (noticeably brighter than venus) and fade back out over a 3 second period. every time the dim light would reappear it would start over again in the same spot the original dim light would appear. we watched this "loop cycle" of 3 passes of the dim light appearing, getting increasing brighter and fading again. then there would be nothing for a few minutes only to have the loop cycle start over again. we live near an airport and are very familiar with aircraft sights and sounds, this was not a plane. and due to the tree line it was above, it was very easy to track the path of the light and notice that every time it started over, it was from the same spot in the sky. so just to clarify it was not a! light traveling in a long line, increasing and fading in brightness. this light always started at the same location and ended in the same location

We just got out of a meeting and we're heading to our car when I looked up and noticed a very bright light in the sky after a couple seconds I realized it was Venus. While I was admiring the brightness of it I noticed other stars that were moving there were 5 of them evenly spaced moving in a straight line appearing out of nowhere. There were no red or blue flashing lights on them and in there vicinity was another aircraft that did have flashing red and blue lights. They looked like stars in formation is the best I can describe them. My buddy said maybe they were military helicopters but I would think they would have some type of colored lights like planes. At first, there was just 3, and then number 4 appeared and then 5 appeared, like just blinked in to exsistance.

Outside stargazing to the north. Saw what appeared to be a star moving in the easterly direction at a speed that appeared to be a bit faster than a commercial aircraft. No big deal. However, then I noticed a second one following in the first. Then a third, and forth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth. All at the same speed and in what appeared to be exact spacing. The first began to fade away as it entered into a wispy, narrow cloud bank. It never appeared to emerge out the other side. Neither did any of the others. Rather strange.

Me and a friend we’re hanging out when I decided to call it a night, I asked him to leave and escorted him out. As I said goodbye and was about to close my door a flash of light caught my eye. I noticed Venus in the west had 2 flying objects passing underneath. I thought they were planes or what not and brushed it off, until I noticed it disappear and reappear in the same flight trajectory. I watched for 10 mins till i got my brothers opinion on if it was a planes or not, I don’t think he seen them cause he was half asleep. It continued as I checked on it till 8:30 then it stopped. I couldn’t count how many but there was, it seemed to stop at a spot and restart where I noticed it the first time. The would stop being visible once they traveled to the Big Dipper
