Snydersville, PA
Saw two lights resembling stars moving towards East that converged into one then followed by about 20 moving lights in a row behind them in the same line of motion. No sound heard just the moving lights in the sky. Correction to date. Feb 8 not Feb 7

Reading, PA
Woke up to go out & smoke a cigarette, and was looking up because the sky was clear enough to see a few stars. I saw what looked like 11 star like lights that then flew evenly spaced in single file and turned 90 degrees before flying off out of sight or just disappearing. It was completely soundless despite being in an area with wild life & lots of traffic.

I have been seeing some strange lights in the sky in recent months. They usually look the same. There is usually one large triangle craft that has white stationary lights but will flash red and blue when moving. It moves very slow. I can sometimes even see a bunch of smaller lights moving a bit faster around the larger craft. Tonight was a first though when I noticed there were 2 of these larger triangle crafts in the sky. They were not together. One was facing the North direction and the other was facing the South direction. Same shaped craft but there were 2 of them which I had not seen before. I usually only ever see one which I have recorded many times. It’s never in the same spot of the sky so I truly don’t believe it’s a weather balloon. Quick side note... I was watching the sky for about an hour until I went in the house to get a drink and add a layer of clothes cause it’s cold and by the time I went out again , the entire sky was cloudy. The clouds appeared out of no where! The weather doesn’t even show we were expecting clouds like this. Now it’s so cloudy, I can’t see anything at all. Very strange.

At first the lights were moving together very fast but stopped over the neighborhood. The several balls of light kept changing shape and brightness.

As I was walking home from work i look up in the sky and see what looks like an object of some sort resembling a helicopter, with no wind blades. It had 3 red lights, and made a humming noise. It also looked as if it was traveling the opposite way a helicopter would. Startled I proceeded to go home and people in nearby cars seen it as well

Lemasters, PA
You could see the lights as it approached and as it passed overhead a little in front of where we stood. The lights formed a triangle on the bottom extremities of the craft. What was unusual, there were no green lights, no white lights, no flashing. It was dark and you could not really see any distinct shape of the craft other than it looked like a triangle. The other oddity was the sound and the slow speed. It sounded like a muffled jet, no high pitch whine, very quiet. Another unusual thing was the speed and height. It was traveling way too slow for a jet and could not have been more than 150 to 200 feet off the ground. This craft continued up the valley toward Letterkenny Army Depot and out of sight. Triangle, black, 3 red non blinking lights. Three or four years ago, we seen a boom-a-rang shaped craft coming down this valley. We drove north of Lemasters to get a closer look. It had a normal white light on the front, which looked like a landing light. As it neared the end of the mountain range at Parnell’s Knob, it laid over on its side and traversed the end of the mountain. It made a very unusual maneuver. As you looked at the craft coming toward you and for it to turn to your left (its right), you would think the right side would tilt down slightly as it made the turn. This thing laid over perpendicular to the ground, left side down, made the turn and came back to a level plane and continued flying west over Fort Loudon and beyond sight. When it made the turn on its side, you could see a white light at the center front and each end. No colored nav lights, no flashing. Based on the size and the close distance of observation, this thing should have fallen out of the air it was moving so slow. There was no sound. As to the height, it was slightly lower than Mt Parnell as it made the turn. Boom-a-rang, no tail, color black.

Oakdale, PA
Driving northbound on I-79 just past the Bridgeville on-ramp. It was still light out and visibility was good. Looking to my left above the distant tree line I saw what I thought was a large airplane flying pretty low in the distance. There were gray clouds behind the object. Something didn’t seem right so I did a doubletake. I glanced back at the road for a split second and then back at the flying object. I was driving 65mph in light traffic. This time it looked to be closer and hovering what looked to be a couple of hundred feet above the trees that were about a half-mile away. This time my first thought was that it was a large helicopter as it was hovering, but it could not have been as it was 3 times larger than the biggest helicopter and was a symmetrical cylinder shape. I got a good look for about 3 seconds. The unconventional aircraft was dark gray with a dim white light on the left and a dim red light on the right. There may have been other dimmer li! ghts in the middle. It was perfectly smooth around the perimeter. Top outline was parallel to the bottom and the left and right were perfect half circles. I glanced back at the road and then back to the object and it had disappeared. I scanned the horizon and it was gone. I immediately got the chills, and goosebumps and got choked up due to what I has just witnessed.

Bushkill, PA
Just over the tree line I saw what looked like a few lights in a changing configuration. The lights went from yellow to green. Sometimes lighting in a sequence then going out completely. It hovered a distance away. It wasn't a plane I had seen planes pass near it and above it. It looked slightly oval but had a t formation with the lights changing color. After several minutes it slowly moved to the west until it was behind the mountain tree line. It was a cold clear night.

Williamsport, PA
Observed a series/string of 18 circular dots traveling SW to NE above Williamsport, Montoursville PA approximately 6:15am. Objects did not have normal flight strobe indicators, yet did have lighting. No sound of aircraft engine were heard during the period of observation. Objects were in identical flight line, with regular spacing. Objects were in flight at higher than normal commercial aircraft flight (i.e. well above 35k ft) traveling SW to NE line.

I was adjusting a wreath on my front door & saw a very bright light in the southern sky over my neighbors house. This light stayed stationary for awhile so I called my husband & got our binoculars & camera. The object appeared to be cigar shaped and stayed in a stationary position from 6:59 PM to 7:14 PM. The object was hovering at 25-30 degrees above the ground in the southern sky. The object disappeared for about 5 minutes then reappeared to the right(S.W.) of where we first saw it and started moving to the east blinking red & white alternately. There was no sound at all. My husband was a naval helicopter aviator from 1971-1975. My husband said that commercial or military aircraft do not behave like this. I have 3 photos of this sighting. We are Coast to Coast listeners! This was my second sighting...this time I was prepared with my camera!

In mid-January, my brother and I were sitting on my second-floor apartment patio when we saw a white cumulus shaped object travel across the sky. It started out travelling horizontally then quickly sloped downward. We lost site of it behind a neighboring apartment bldg. It didn’t appear to be that far away, but who knows. My brother estimates 2-3 football fields away. There were no lights, nor was there a contrail. Also, it was absolutely quiet. Its speed increased as it travelled. After we regained composure, we immediately started looking online for an explanation; ie – weather balloon, drone, etc. I’ve checked a few websites thinking someone else saw it, but found nothing. We’ve been hesitant to report it on local websites for fear of being called crazy. I did post it on one facebook page, but didn’t really get any kind a reaction. Probably should just delete it from there. We cannot find a rational explanation for it, and we can’t possibly be the only people that saw it. It travelled over I-78, an extremely busy road.

Craft hovered silently over top of ridge for 30 minutes. Diamond shaped with red,green, and white lights that were super bright. It then moved slowly northwest and disappeared. This is the third time that this has happened. There are three different witnesses that have seen this. We were standing either on the porch and in the driveway each time and live in a sparsely populated area with only a few neighbors in a mile 3/4 mile radius.

Akron, PA
I was driving. I saw a bright light in the sky. I asked my boyfriend if it was a star. He said it was a helicopter. It was an unusual light because it caught my attention. I thought it must have been a new technology. It was dusk out and there were clear skies. We only saw one white light that was very bright and then it seem to have the bright light shut off. The off light was dim and round and blurry because I didn’t have my glasses, I wasn’t able to see the actual shape of the object. It wasn’t a helicopter after all because we didn’t see the spinning wings of a helicopter once the light was off and then I told my boyfriend it was a U.F.O.! He said it wasn’t a U.F.O. because he said that it was supposedly an alien spacecraft. The dim light disappeared into the sky. We were driving downhill on Main Street, in Akron, at the Loyd H. Roland Memorial Park. This light was seen in the sky which it was hovering above the intersection of Main Street and Park Stree! t. My son is twelve years old. He was in the van with us and he also seen the light which we all assumed it was an alien spacecraft.

I was leaving work when I looked up in the sky and saw a round silver object and a cigar silver shaped object up in the sky. The round object was to the left of the cigar shaped object. They both just stood there, silent, hovering. I watched as a couple of airplanes flew by in the distance above and below these objects. I pulled out my camera and the circle object disappeared. I put my camera down and the circle object reappeared to the right of the cigar. I managed to film a little bit of it on my cellphone. The round object would disappear, then the cigar shaped object disappeared. I put my camera down and they reappeared. It lasted for about a half hour before both disappeared. I did a search on the internet to see if anyone else saw what I saw and found an old report almost exactly a year ago in the same city of a sighting in Concordville with a round and a cigar shaped object. I am a paralegal and this is the third sighting that I've reported to Nuforc. I do not know what it is, but I am curious and fascinated and just want to know what it is! I've ruled out airplane because I saw a couple fly by. I've ruled out drone because the hovering crafts did not look like them and no sound and they disappeared to the naked eye and reappeared. Amazing!

Three bright white circular objects that appeared to be stationary. Sometimes I have seen flashing (?rotating?) blue and red lights, or bright circular white flashing lights. No green lights noted. No sound heard. Hard to tell height from ground, but they are high in the sky. Seem to be at 60-90 degree compass points from each other. I have seen very fast flying objects at different times as well. I typically stay up late in the night, and have seen these objects regularly over the past year (when sky is clear). Times vary but from 2100-0200 hours on various nights. Am not sure whether they are present (but not visible) during daylight hours. Multiple neighbors have also seen them. Reported to local police some time ago. My father was a pilot and I grew up flying and watching the sky. These objects are unlike anything I have ever seen before. They capture my attention because I can’t figure out what they are...I thought they might be military-related due to our location and close proximity to secure government sites. Now I am reporting to you, since there is news of “drone sightings” in other states. Pictures taken from cell phone showed tiny object in vast night sky. Did not seem to represent scale of what I am seeing with my naked eye.

My friend called me about 6:30 local time herein Pa She was driving home from a gathering with her friends when she saw the what she described as 2 large triangles like melted together and THEY WERE VERY BRIGHT in the night sky... it was dark and no moon or other lights as she lives in a very rural area. I have not talked with her as of yet because i had my phone off recharging when she called and left the message ... She was on PA route 24 near Winterstown Pa ... this woman is a widow of just a few years and we have been chatting on phone as well as email she is very respectable and has a large family nearby... she was wondering about the meaning of seeing these because I have been sharing that the Lord Jesus is coming back soon and we need to be ready.. and we are to be ready for that day when he comes again to rapture us out of this world.

The object is of a round design ,black in nature,and it appears to be in front of an object that looks like the sun.it has, what looks like little antennas coming out of three side,and a ray of light heading toward my trail camera. i do have a picture of this object. There is also a cat in the picture that is close to this object, that it is not disturbed. Also, this object looks like the object that was photographed from a fighter jet awhile back. But this object seems to be small in nature.at 10:35 in the morning the sun is above our house, not 5 feet above a 3 foot retaining wall. this is a real weird picture....never seen anything like this..

Observed on Nevesink Mountain. Bright area of glowing red. Thought it was a fire. I was approx 1 mile away from mountain with a clear view of it. Then light slowly started to rise and continued straight up until it disappeared. Odd shape like 2 concentric circles.
