The UFO was going about 70 or more mph over a river. It was gone within a blink of an eye. It looked like a circle then a ring around it.

I was sitting in bed at about 10:30-10:40pm. I looked over at my husband to continue our conversation when I noticed a red blinking light out the window. It was slowly moving upward. After reaching a certain altitude it stopped blinking and stayed still for about 30 seconds then it started to move and blink again as it went slowly across the sky vertically West to South. It started to get smaller then just disappeared as I was looking right at it. As the red light disappeared I noticed a second red blinking light come out of nowhere as if it just turned itself on near the original point of the first light. I went upstairs to my daughters room to show her what I was seeing. It did the same exact thing as the first, slowly moving upward, stopping for about 30 seconds, resuming its movement laterally and blinking then as I was watching it started getting smaller and disappeared. This second light was moving in the opposite direction of the first light, it started in the West but then moved North. I did record video of the second light from my daughters window. I was telling her about the first light I seen as we were watching and recording. The video is approximately 3 minutes long until light goes out. In the video the light appears white however to the eye it was red. I have been living in my house for almost 10 years and never seen anything like this. It didn't move like any aircraft I see normally. I've never noticed an aircraft that moved that slowly or its lights getting smaller then disappearing. I tried checking flights in my area at the time, but couldn't find a site that I could get the information.

Whilst at work last Friday, I was looking to the west when I saw a white cylinder shape moving in and out of the clouds. My first impression that it was just a plane flying at high altitude. It then stopped hovered for about few minutes moving up and down, at one point it seem to "shimmy" or change shape but not any larger. It then moved up at 45: angle and disappeared. I do not have any footage as at first it did not seem strange only when moved upward and disappeared that I realized it may have been a UFO. If it is a government experimental craft it very sophisticated.

Penna Turnpike I-476 S Lehigh Tunnel, PA
Triangle shaped aircraft with two crisp white lights, one blinking (left) and one solid (right) positioned at the “rear” of the craft relative to its trajectory, with a dim red circle in the middle of the bottom of the aircraft seen on the Pennsylvania Turnpike on I-476 South immediately after exiting the Lehigh Tunnel near Mahoning Valley. I was driving home from Wilkes-Barre to the Philadelphia area late at night, with the sighting occurring at approximately 1:15 am on Wednesday morning. Immediately after exiting the Lehigh Tunnel, roughly in-between the Jim Thorpe/Mahoning Valley and Allentwon exists, I noticed two white lights to my right. They appeared to be about 30 ft apart, and the left one was blinking about every other second while the right light was solid. I was engrossed in a podcast at the time I first noticed the lights, and thought oh it’s just some plane. However after about 10 seconds past the tunnel exit, when the glare from the lights of the tunnel exit were fading away, I looked back at the object in confusion. Why is this plane flying so low? It was right at the tree line, less than 200 ft from the ground. Why does this aircraft seem to be flying slow enough for me to nearly keep up with it? Why is there only one blinking white light and while the other one was remaining solid? As I was able to see the object more and more clearly, I noticed the two lights appeared to be at the rear corners of a silhouette of an equilateral triangle, with the tip of the triangle (again relative to the aircraft’s trajectory) having no light emanating from it. It was bizarrely black. Like the blackest black I’ve ever seen. It literally blended in with the night sky almost too well for me to make out a shape. And then I noticed in the middle of the bottom of the aircraft, there was this dim glowing dark red/orange circle (it reminded me of the glow from the last ember of a dying campfire), that looked like it had some kind of hatch over it. At this point the craft began moving over the highway and to the left, still shockingly low in the sky, and it was beginning to slow down. Still barley in front of me at the same height, I noticed a bright light shooting up vertically from what seemed like a random spot in the forest next to the highway. The craft appeared to be heading for this light, as it had slowed down and then halted one it reached it. As I passed by, trying to go slowly as acceptably possible on the highway, still seeing it hovering over the light, I lost it in my rear view mirrors after a few seconds. It hadn’t dawned on me until a minute or two after the sighting that I thought to myself, why the heck didn’t that thing make any noise? At its altitude, if it was any kind of traditional aircraft, it should have been VERY loud especially considering how close I was to it. From start to finish of viewing the aircraft, it was as silent as if there was nothing there at all. I consider myself an amateur astronomer as I frequently take my telescopes out at night in my suburban Philadelphia backyard or elsewhere for viewing the night sky. Only 30 minutes (or less depending on the time and day) from the Philadelphia International Airport, I have seen every type of passenger aircraft that frequent the airport flying to and from it, at all sorts of heights and perspectives, and I’ve never seen anything quite like this. (I actually have seen a similar bizarrely noiseless totally black V shaped aircraft flying at low altitude a couple years ago in my backyard, but that is not what this report is about.) I would do anything to get in touch with the one or two other cars on the turnpike near me at the time of the sighting for verification that I’m not nuts. If you guys received any calls or anything regarding an aircraft of similar description that same night, I would really appreciate knowing.

Dallastown, PA
I've seen this bright light for the past 10 years in dallastown/spry area. It is erratic, moves backwards. Forward, up, down and is rather quick. When I first saw it. I thought it was a Satlelight or the ISS. but the way it moves is very quick and the motions are like its floating.

Cecil, PA
My husband and I were on our way home, coming up a hill from 980 Road (McDonald PA towards Cecil PA) when at the top of the hill we both saw a very bright red (almost had orange to it also) sphere. For a very split second we both thought firework because it the 4th and all but then quickly realized it didn’t have a smoke tail, no immediate implosion or noises made like it could have been a firework- it was absolutely silent where we were at this moment because we had the radio off and windows down. The best way to explain or reference how high this sphere was in the sky, was that it was just above the distant tree line (10 or less miles out I’d say) but close enough to looked pretty large and to be able to see the sphere shape to it from the bright glow. We both realized we have never ever seen a tower where this sphere was and it was definitely bigger than a blinking red tower light in the semi short distance it was from us and this was entirely way too bright to not have noticed something that obvious the hundreds of times we’ve driven this route home. The sphere’s motion was pretty stagnant, did not obviously flash- it had veils of transparency from its glow but nothing could be seen indefinitely from where we were, solid but a beautiful bright inbetween tones of red & orange glow in color. We passed through some dense tree area trying to figure out what we just saw & my husband saw it through the trees but it looked further away and smaller in size. We attempted to turn at the bottom of the hill (Rt. 50) to try and follow it but half way down the road we hadn’t caught any sight of it and thought it would have disappeared by the time we could get to a good clearing. Neither of us have ever seen something that beautifully bright before. We tried to think of everything possible that it could have been and rationally there is nothing to justify it. The video of the woman in SC or NC who recorded the red sphere in the sky (Dece! mber of 2018, I believe) is exactly what we saw and she liter! ally exp lained and described the same exact thing we saw to an identical tee. Even the same questions talking through the what it could have beens. The only difference is that it was much closer to us then where it was to her, in her video. However the imagine on her video did not give any justice to what you saw with the naked eye.

Saw in night sky, about a football stadium away but obviously farther, itUFZo appeared to resemble a large aircraft possibly a DC 10 or 727 but was dark in appearance as we could see the outline. It had a red blinking light in back and blue blinking light in front. As we watched, it appeared to come down quickly in a 15 degree angle. The object did not change size, shape, or color even though it got closer. Then it appeared to hoover for around 5 minutes with both lights flashing red then they blinked back to red and blue. Then we didn't see it again. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

York, PA
I am a retired school teacher of 42 years. I have an MEd in Administration and Supervision. I am 74 years old. On Monday, July 1, this year, I was on my deck attached to my home. At approx. 21:00, I was watching the sky at dusk, watching commercial airliners fly directly over my home, flying east to west. My home is directly under airliners' flights apparently from Philadelphia/New York to the west coast. As an airliner went across the sky, I saw an object off to the side of it. At first, I thought it was a star and didn't pay any attention to it. As the plane moved forward, I saw this "object" start to move at about a ninety degree angle directly toward what I realized was an intersect point with the plane. Now, I could see that the object was not a star as it was close to the earth. The object had ball-like pieces that moved around as the object moved toward the plane. The balls were different colors with three white ones that moved around the outside of the others. From where I stood, the object was going to run directly into the plane. The plane continued, the object stopped as the plane passed, evidently the two were not at the same altitude. The object then made a ninety-degree left turn at an apparent high rate of speed. If the plane was moving at 400 mph, the object was moving at about the same rate toward the plane, made that turn, then followed the plane at the same speed for a short time. At that point, I became aware that the object was not alone. A second, similar object "appeared," and I say appeared because it was not there a second before. The second object was farther to the east. It was not as well "put together" as the first as the second had similar round parts, but they were not organized into a shape as the first was. The second approached the flight path of the plane but behind it. The object seemed to get organized as the lights formed, it appeared, a flat object. The object followed the plane, apparently tracking it or staying behind it, toward the west until it disappeared. In th! e meantime, the first object moved erratically in one place wh! ere it s topped following the plane, the ball-like structures moved around inside the shape, changed colors, and appeared to form a large sphere-shaped object that was "rolling." After maybe fifteen minutes, the object began to move upward, away from the Earth. Today, thirty-five days later, the object "sits" in the sky in the same place, but much farther away from the Earth. It sits there, still observable with the un-aided eye, with the "balls" of light moving around in random motion. And, the total object, moves, apparently randomly, from my observation point, left, right, up and down in the sky. A second object, I do not know if it is the same second object as I saw the first night, now sits at apparently the same altitude but more to the western sky. Its movement is observable left, right, up, and down, apparently random. Its balls of light move in the same way as the first object. I have observed these objects nightly when it is not too hazy or cloudy. The first one is in the same place as the first night, and the second object sits at about the same place as it was after tracking the plane. Am I nuts? No. I am observing an obviously controlled object in the sky.

Pittsburgh, PA
Pittsburgh, PA. June 28, 2019: I walked outside in my backyard to take my dog out at around 8:35 PM. I could sense a storm coming over my way so I looked up into the clouds and noticed a super bright object. The grey clouds were out in the distance, and the shiny object was right overhead. It caught my eye at first glance - that’s how shiny it was. I stared at it for five minutes and realized it could not have been a star nor a plane. It was located way too high in the sky for it to have been a plane. I’ve seen both of those things during a sunset and neither of those were what I witnessed. I was watching the object, which looked exactly like a UFO, for 15 minutes straight. It was a shiny silver color, and it looked horizontally elongated, like a disk. It did not move. At about 8:50 PM, I saw the shiny object disappear into plain sight. Again, it didn’t move or anything when I saw it fade away. It’s like it camouflaged itself right into the color of the sky. I did not see it after that.

I was driving home from airlift one day, I had my head out of the window because I was sweating and I turned to look up at the stars and I see this circular thing hovering with multiple different colored lights covering it. I stared at it fir a good 3 seconds then turned to my friend who was sitting in the backseat next to me and told him to look at it, seconds after he had seen it, it was gone. We looked at each other after and we so freaked out .. Then we turned down this road and I had my speaker playing before, but I turned it off, I turned the speaker back on and it said something in a whinny woman’s voice then it just shut off. i asked if anyone else in the car had heard it, my friend beside me had and so did his mother they both claimed it was a woman’s voice before I said anything to them about what I heard. When I arrived back at my house no one was home my sister at a friend's house and my mom at work, so I was a bit scared. I called my friend to talk to her about it (different friend from before) and she had said that she had been hearing noises almost like a plane flying close to the ground, right above her house it just kept on going. Then she heard a Big Bang pretty close to her house and saw a flag of light which I saw with her over FaceTime but when she looked out the window nothing was there, and that’s when the noises stopped.

I was sitting on my back porch when I noticed a shape in the sky. I inspected the shape further and then I noticed two more objects accompanying it. I reported a similar experience of mine I experienced something similar in June, however this time these shapes were at a much higher altitude. I believe that they were above 20,000 feet. I was observing the shapes for several minutes until I lost sight of them. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I'm a truck driver driving on I-81 south towards Maryland, when I noticed a helicopter. The first object I knew was a helicopter, cause I saw it fly close by. Then about ten minutes later, I saw another object in the far distance with a light blinking on the side or near top of it flying towards the interstate where I was driving. I automatically aSsumed it was another helicopter, but noticed even from a far distance the shape of it was weird!. The sun was about to set completely. There was still a little bit of sunlight, so it was easier to see what it shockingly was when it flew over me. As the craft flew closer and closer to me on the interstate, I looked at it for a couple of seconds on and off, watching the road at the same time. The craft was only about 300 feet in the air. It was very close to the ground. As it finally flew right over the interstate and my semi, I noticed that it was shockingly triangular to diamond shaped and had huge white beam lights on all three to four sides of the craft on, bottom facing the ground. There was still a little sunlight, so I could see it was definitely not a helicopter or plane that I have ever seen or heard of! I was only able to look at it flying right under me for about three seconds, cause I had to watch the road. Even just seeing it those three seconds gives me the chills and goosebumps!! I continued to look at it from my side mirror on driver's side as it flew behind me until I couldn't see it anymore in my side mirrors. I was wondering if you'll have anyone else reported seeing this in Wilke Barre, Pennsylvania, area June 26, 201,9 to you'll. If you would let me know I'd appreciate it! Just so I know I'm not alone in seeing this, if it was a ufo.…

My bud and I were out smoking and he looked up in the sky and saw two shimmering objects in the sky above our building. They were about 100 feet apart n hovering really high up. They were too small to tell what shape they were. They were moving across the sky very slowly keeping their distance the same between them. It was in the morning as well. They must have been spinning because we could see the reflection of the sun on them every couple of seconds.

While observing a hawk soaring 300 feet above the ground, I noticed a green light at a much higher altitude - approximately 40,000 feet, just slightly below the upper level cirrus. Then I noticed the light was on one end of a fairly long object with a yellow light on the opposite end. The shape looked like the edge of a silver iPhone, with a green light on one end and a yellow light on the other. After observing it for 20 or so seconds, I noticed 3 more identical objects appear slightly below the first. The group of objects appeared to be moving in a south-easterly direction, though at a very slow speed. Over the course of a minute or 2 the lower 3 craft disappeared from my sight, but the one I initially spotted was visible for nearly 5 minutes. It eventually became more and more difficult to pick out in the sky. These objects were higher than any of the commercial airliners that few by the vicinity. There were other people there with me but were unable to see! what I was seeing. Background: I'm a sailplane pilot and often look to the sky at soaring birds. I've noticed that if you stare at a patch of sky for a while on a clear day you can find gaggles of birds soaring in the 3000-5000 foot range. Also, I don't like flying with polarized sunglasses, but on this day I had a new pair that are polarized. Sunglass can help you see definition in clouds and sky that you wouldn't otherwise notice.

I was walking home from my boyfriend’s house and noticed a beautiful red moon. As I took a photo of it I noticed there were at least 2 unidentifiable stationary objects in the sky. It could have been one on each side of the moon, each with two very bright lights or 4 (2 on each side of the moon) each with one light. I’m not sure but I am certain they didn’t belong there. I took the picture and continued walking home. Once I turned the corner the objects were out of site and so was the moon. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Bristol, PA
After arriving home and parking my car in the driveway, I looked up at the shot in the direction of the Burlington Bristol bridge, and saw a very bright red ball of light, stationary. After about 10 seconds it started to move horizontally to the left, at which time I pointed it out to my friend with me. We both watched it then completely change direction and move right in the complete opposite direction. Silently. It moved behind some trees and we lost it. I called my father outside to see it, at which time it was not visible. It then came back into sight, completely stationary, directly in front of us, in the direction of FDR middle school. It had moved and covered some distance to arrive at this point. So now, all three of us watch this bright red object double in brightness, as though the initial red light had a twin attached to it. It then turned back down to normal brightness, as though there was only one red light again. After it became less bright, it then moved left and right, straight up and back down, moving in ways that defy our technology today. It then moved to the right, slowly, almost out of view behind the FDR gymnasium and the light began to fade as it moved. Another second or two passed and the object disappeared from view and we didn’t see it again. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

There were 2 small round lights in the sky going towards each other at a medium rate of speed. No blinking lights and too far away/fast to be airplane. The 2 lights eventually flew right past each other and then disappeared. Too close to each other to be normal aircrafts. Too slow to be shooting star. No reports of any asteroids or meteors.

At first we thought it was planes, until we realized they don't fly that close together...one that we got best view of multiple flashing lights, according to the bend of them, circular/oval..saw many more from where we were looked like some followed planes..saw others that appeared to be stars until they started blinking and moving way faster than planes, another had circular blinking lights, alternating then 4 red lights at same time, that's when I realized it was the bottom of it and they reflected a circular base, this went not from 10 pm until 1145 pm when we left, there were times ther's were as many as 5 at a time

Was outside with my dog in the backyard. Saw something very bright and flying way too slow to be an airplane. No blinking light no noise. Sped up a little , got bright than the light disappeared as if it just went out. I did not see it take off quickly or anything like that . Just disappeared. Sky was clear, no clouds. Not the first time I have seen something in this area, I just felt to stupid to report it, like I would be called crazy.
