Orange pulsating fireball of light silently flying west then slowly rising up and traveling north then disappears. It changed from red to orange and then yellow, burning with a plasma-like energy coming from within the UFO.

Philadelphia, PA
I saw a oval/cigar flying object on my way home from a football game. I captured a video of it too. It appears to be flying and spinning at the same time. It appears to be shiny, having a somewhat silver appearance. I believe it was just one craft.

On the night of August 30, 2019, my wife and were standing on our deck observing the sky. It was a very clear night full of stars. After a few minutes, my wife pointed up to one of the stars and mentioned it was moving. I followed looking up to the same place she pointed and lo and behold! It was in fact moving. We both followed it and turned our bodies facing the direction it was going which was behind us. We kept tracking it for about 20 seconds when it suddenly disappeared! We were astonished because we had never seem this before and planes flying overhead at night are clearly visible by their lights and we can hear them. We have no idea what we saw. We tried to find an online resource that would explain and the closest explanation is a satellite. However, we have no way of figuring out if and which it is from various sites. The only tracking info available is for the ISS and its path is nowhere near us. It is supposed to be orbiting over Brazil.

While pumping gas And filling my tank I was looking around and chanced to look up, noting one large moving black triangle, each point having a small white light. Oddly it also seemed to be followed/attached to a smaller black rectangle. Both were blotting out stars as it moved slowly southeast, toward Godfrey’s Ridge, in a direction toward what we locally term “Cherry Valley.” As it moved on the stars/sky reappeared. It made no sound Time was just after sunset, some light, some stars, some small clouds still could be seen in Western sky. I cannot judge how large it was but my impression was if I held up a beach ball above my head I think it would have been blocked from my sight. I live in the area and am very familiar with flight patterns in:out of Newark, NJ airport and the flight path taken by our local hospitals Med-Evacs helicopters. It was a very busy traffic evening, I could see Route 611 and both eastbound and west bound Route 80 from where I stood and traffic was heavy. So many people were out and about I sssumed I would see a report in the nightly news or the next days paper, but saw no reference or report.

Erie, PA
Above Ainsworth baseball field.. Thought it (was the) size of (a) 737. Hovering less then 500 ft. Buzzing sound before moving north. Had it been a slow moving airplane it would have continued west to land. Instead object went north at a fast rate of speed. Didn’t comprehend what I saw until about 5 minutes later. Very creepy. I tried tracking it via car. And was able to get one picture from further distance then first sighting it 5 minutes prior.

August 12, 2019 at 11:10PM, Waynesboro, PA 17268 Saw a large extremely bright light travel across the Cumberland Valley , then become stationary. My wife thinks that there was a red light next to the white light. After 15 to 20 seconds, it made a left turn and traveled Northeast at a high speed (fifty times faster than a commercial jet and disappeared There was no sound.

Lehigh Tunnel, PA
Penna Turnpike I-476 Lehigh Tunnel on the Carbon County side (we were traveling north). Oval shaped, appeared to have pink and white lights (5). When first seen, it was hovering, but then moved at a high rate of speed towards the North and then almost a 90 degree turn to the East. Stopped and hovered, could no longer see the pink lights. We saw it for about 90 seconds.

Corolla, PA
I was sitting on my balcony with my dad and his friend. I was looking at the stars during a conversation and I decided to look through a tree and I saw a small circle in the distance. It was a dark grey and it’s at night. The circle moved across the sky insanely fast. Way too fast for a plane. It didn’t have strobes on either so it couldn’t be a plane or drone. I yelled and pointed and everyone looked we watched it fly across the sky, right over the tree line

Aliquippa, PA
Slow moving medium brightness white light, small, with no blinking lights appears bright on one side of sky and slowly moves across the sky estimating between 5 and 10 thousand feet. Will deviate slightly but mostly straight line with no sound. Then slowly dims out after about a minute. Seen multiple times before tonight also.

Philipsburg, PA
My brother and I were driving from Philipsburg, PA, to State College, PA, on Rte. 322 South, when I noticed a kite- or diamond-shaped formation of 5 or 6 bright orange balls of light flying in the sky above our car! I was astounded and asked my brother, “What was that?!” He didn’t know. So, I drove up the hill a little bit farther and turned into the Moshannon Valley Regional Business Center. I went to the back of the parking lot where it was a little darker, and we could see the entire vista of the valley facing west and northwest. We had lost sight of the kite-shaped formation, but we were amazed as one bright orange ball of light after another appeared out of the setting sun, came due east straight toward our car, banked to the left and rose simultaneously to another altitude. As they did this, one after another, their lights went completely out and they disappeared. I did happen to catch the silhouette of one after it went “lights out”, and it was shaped sort of like a big, thick war plane with wings back like a jet. But, these were not planes – there were no flashing lights like planes have (they were just bright balls of orange lights – almost like someone setting off fireworks that flew horizontally through the air – and then they each banked to the left, rose up and went black). I noticed that someone else reported the exact same thing on 07/17/19 in Altoona, PA, which is about 45 miles southwest of State College, PA where we live. Here is the experience that they reported: Bright orange big light quiet, appeared to the south moved across the sky & got dimmer then dissipated, repeated 5 times over 1/2 hour. I saw an orange light pretty bright & big sort of just appeared at a point south of my house moved across the sky towards the north, after a couple minutes kept getting less bright then sort of dissipated, no sound at all. At first I thought it was a big plane or a drone, but then another appeared at the same spot and moved across the sky and again after a few minutes it got weaker and dissipated around the same area to the north like the other one had. I got my wife out of the house and she watched it happen 3 more times with me, we both were confused at what we were seeing. This happened 5 times over about 30 minutes then it stopped. Can someone PLEASE help me and tell me that we did NOT see a UFO in the night sky last night?!?

At approximately 0035 hours, I went into my bathroom at home and did not turn the light on. I looked outside of the window and noticed to be what I thought a jet plane flying from West to East. It appeared to be flying at the same speed and altitude as a jet plane would normally fly. I thought nothing of it. It had blinking red and white lights on it, also typical of what a jet plane looked like in the night sky. About a minute or 2 later, I looked up in the sky again. Right where I had just seen the “jet plane” flying, looked to be the same craft I had just seen. Only this time, it wasn’t moving. I stood there looking out the window and up into the sky for the next 10 minutes. The craft did not move at all. It was totally still with the same blinking red and white lights. I thought that maybe it was a helicopter, but they do not usually fly that high up in the air. I had to get up fairly early today, so I quit watching and went to bed. For some reason, this has really been bothering me all day. I would like to add that I was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs when this sighting occurred.
