I was driving on 590 going towards 6. I look up in the sky because of green light that had caught my eye to see a green ball flying. It was flying slow then sped up really fast and disappeared.

Around the time of the Bucks County, PA, flap, I had several UFO sightings. This was my 3rd sighting around that time. I was driving home from work and was heading towards Route 611 on Almshouse Rd. It was dark outside and I saw an enormous UFO. It looked like a 737 plane with its lights off and it was parked directly on top of a house. It looked like the UFO was attached to the roof of the house and the sky was blocked out in between the roof and the UFO. I looked in the rearview mirror as I passed it and it was still there. The house was in a development that was on a large hill surrounded by trees. I could see it from the driver's side window. Time seems to stop whenever I see the UFO's and there is no noise. The three sightings that I had in Bucks County were three different shapes. I seem to see UFO's when I'm driving alone. I hope other people in the area saw this UFO.

Slow Bright parallel white dots in a form of a rectangular shape. Then when it turned, it was in a shape of a vertical oval with blinking light on each side. Then zoomed away.

On the night of October 9th 2019 at 21:00 EST, I witnessed a UFO at the Northland Public Library (300 Cumberland Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15237). The sky was clear and the moon was out (past full moon stage). I have frequented this library day and evening for the past 20 years and I’m familiar with the typical lights present at night. As I was walking to my car from the closed library, I noticed two lights at about 45° approaching from the Eastward direction travelling Westward. The lights were separated a little less than 3° ; the top light was white while the bottom one was a red blinking light. I wondered if they were stationary or moving so I got into my car and used the oil change reminder sticker on my inside windshield to measure; yes they were moving slowly and moving in together at the same speed. I got out of the car to observe and try to take a picture/video. After a minute, this slowly travelling object showed its profile to me; it was a triangular! -shaped UFO with lights (portal lights?) highlighting the whole shape of the UFO a total of about 1° width. The edges were not sharp, they were curved. After it passed, I hurried and drove to an adjacent church where I could get a better view. From this vantage point, I saw it calmly proceed in the Westward direction toward the horizon.

(This story is re-posted about 10 minutes after the original, I wished to remain anonymous out of fear of, well anything really, but if NUFORC wishes to contact me, I dont see why not.) I arrived at my construction job site at around 06:45. I dropped off my tools and opened the garage doors to get ready for the day. Since I had a few moments, I stepped outside to feel the morning air, I noticed a fairly bright "Star" to the West of the warehouse where I stood. The "Star" was larger than the average star on this early morning, it had a reddish orange hue, and flickered every so slightly. I assumed that it was Mars, just peeking out over the rooftops. I downloaded the Skymaps app last week, so I open the app expecting the object to be Mars. However, nothing celestial was in that vicinity, especially not something that bright. My second logical assumption was that it was an aircraft, or perhaps a satellite; however unusual, since the light was as bright as Mars typically is. I watched the object and was able to realize that it was in fact moving. However, it was behaving erratically. Up up up, to the right, wobble, up up up, to the right, wobble; ever so slightly. Perhaps it was a helicopter with a spotlight? Then my periphery, an easily identifiable airplane was also crossing the sky. Two blinking lights, white and red. Traveling toward the general area that the mysterious object occupied. I went back to watching the strange light, only for a few seconds more; in an instant it vanished. As the light suddenly cut out, in the exact same spot; a barely visible red light zipped to the right, much more horizontal than vertical. The speed in which this tiny red light moved was frightening at first glance, it reminded me of how one sees a meteorite zipping across the atmosphere before burning out. It moved so quickly and was so faint that I lost sight of it. Its hard to estimate the exact distance and direction of the object, but if I was to get as close as I could; From the horizon it was approximately 20 degrees vertical. On a 360 Degree compass, it was approximately 15 degrees clockwise of due West. I can't give an accurate estimation of distance seeing as it was only a light, but if I was to guess based on gut feeling, I would bet about 15 to 20 miles or so as the bird flies

I was walking on the sidewalk, and when I looked to look at the Moon, I noticed a bright flash of light falling from the sky, and then it disappeared.

Was looking up at sky at a airplane with a blinking light heading northbound from Philadelphia area my guess would be at crushing altitude. Above that I noticed a solid light at a much higher altitude moving southbound extremely fast towards Kutztown. Traveling across the whole sky in 30-40 seconds And was no satellite

Noticed a bright object in the sky to the SE. Naked eye object appears to be a bright star. Binoculars at 40x magnification show a blurry pink oval. Telescope at 56x magnification showed similar detail with now visible alternating flashing lights center bottom of oval. Object moving away from my location. Possibly at high altitude since detail is limited even at high magnification.

Was preparing a fire in my fire pit, was looking up at the ash going up and there it was just hovering there, it was higher then the planes flying by, It was shiny and looked white to my wife n I, when we looked through are binoculars it was real clear, round dark center with brilliant light coming from out the sides, also flashes of white light also seen coming from the sides. It moved back and forth and as we watched it got higher n higher then just disappear.

Had some people over for a cookout and I happened to look up and see a white orb like craft hovering at well over 20,000 ft . I live along a flight path for Philadelphia airport and a small local airport in limerick so I was able to judge the altitude. I seen about 4 high flying plains that leave vapor fly under this thing so it was pretty high up. It moved very slow over my house for about 2 hours until it went out of sight. We looked at it with a telescope and spotting scope and we could see white lights on it. Threw the scope it looked like a saucer with lights evenly around the outside with a break in the middle.

Around 3:30 PM/ET, A silver cube/saucer shaped UFO was seen hovering (standing still) over Mother Tree and Upper Mudcatcher trail area at Antietam Lake Park in Lower Alsace Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania on Saturday, October 5, 2019. An older couple was looking up at the sky and asked my partner and me if we see anything. We looked up and saw this cube/saucer like object hovering still in one spot. The older man told us that it was stationary there for about 15 minutes before we came along. The man said he saw spirals around the side of the craft when he looked through his binoculars. We watched it stay still in the sky for an additional 15 minutes until I took pictures with my cell phone. Once I took pictures the object just simply vanished. My cell phone captured something that does not look like a weather balloon, drone, airplane, or anything that people would normally say to debunk a sighting. What is it? We don’t know but it was fascinating. We did not get the older couple’s names, but my partner is a caregiver for a home care group and I am a paralegal and work in the corporate law department of a large insurance company.

Stationary in sky at altitude viewed with binoculars for 1 hour. Btight White object as vieeed. Perfect clear day. Appeared to be stationary with movement simulated by rotation of earth making it seem like it was moving from magnetic northeast to south toward rising sun position East at 2 hours prior to sunset. Inital location was 50 degrees from ground at NE with apparent movement south. The reference altitude from several 40,000 feet jets under it put it at gt 100,000-500,000 or higher feet. Clear observation with high powered binoculars with distinct shape like donut. Ruled out weather balloon, ISS, gas, star, moon, several witnesses

We saw two round bright white objects in the daytime sky. They did not move from the spots above our house, for more than 45 minutes. They looked very small due to how high in the sky they were. My husband has pictures of them on our digital camera. One did appear to split in half, then the two parts merged back together, it happened within a second of the split. The other moved a little closer. At times it appeared that the spheres had "tails", but would always resume their spherical shape, and did not move from their positions in the sky. When an airplane was moving in their direction, they moved out of the way of the airplane, then back to their original position. In one of the pictures that my husband took, it appears that there is a line of lights down the center of the sphere.

Yesterday, October 5th, Myself and my mother watched a circular silver object just sit in the sky over our house. My mother first spotted it while watching the planes. She was shown an app that tracks all the planes and you can see all of its info and is now addicted. So watching planes she noticed the object. After a few minutes she texted me to come up to the porch and look at something. I laid back on a chair and began watching with my mother. I quickly grabbed my phone and began filming. I will apologize right now for when it is out of focus or a little shaky. This object looked not so far away, but then you would see a plane thats at 38,000ft pass between me and the object. Very silver, very shiny, very round. This thing must have been fairly large.

Large very bright white light stationary slowly separated into 3 lights forming an arc. Light dimmed then the 3 moved to form a straight line, then back to form 1 light. This happened at least twice, then disappeared. I went back in house, came out 2 minutes later and it was back. Repeated same movements, dimmed then disappeared. No tall buildings in area. No noise from lights. Dogs barked.

Cloudy and quiet night. Large circle took turns changing lights (dark blue, purple. Light blue. Teal. White) at one point 3 white balls of light formed and went into circular motion then disappeared. My video only caught the first circle of light. Moved around in the sky before disappearing altogether. Was a pretty view
