I'm an Uber driver, so I spend a lot of later nights out. I was taking a break waiting for something to happen with work, and I was on the phone with my wife. I was leaned back in the seat looking up through the sunroof, a habit I developed because of an interest in the UFO subject, when I saw something in the sky. I told my wife, and she said to get off the phone and try to record it. I got out of my car and looked up and saw a craft, shaped like a letter t, or a cross. The best way I can describe it is, the horizontal line of the cross was very close to the top, almost like an uppercase T. It was illuminated, but not like, from lights, like the craft it self was emitting the light. And it was silent, like ZERO SOUND. By the time I took all of this in, I realized I was still holding my phone and was able to snap a few quick pictures. It all took less than a minute. I'm not good with guessing the height of something in the air, but it wasn't very high up, ma! ybe helicopter height. Like a few hundred to a thousand feet up. It was moving very fast, I was facing north,it was traveling from West to East, and again completely silently. I know what a plane, helicopter,and drones sound like and this wasn't any of those. I'm positive because while I was still looking up, hoping it would turn around, and I could get some video, a helicopter sped by very loudly in the same direction. I'm almost certain it was chasing the craft. I went that same night on Reddit to post any the experience, and see if anyone else has seen it. I got a response from a guy who said he was on I95 north, and he and his girlfriend had seen a strange craft in the sky. I'm sure it was the same one, 95 north would have been to the east, the same direction the craft was going.

We took the road that runs along the field to get a better look. As we crested the hill the lights disappear and nothing was there. We actually forgot what we were doing there. We both actually about what we saw for a few days. Then one week later we both asked each other about it and we both remembered seeing the same thing. Shortly after we talked about it and decided we were going to tell someone about what we saw, I had a major seizure.

Me and my parents were driving to my little sisters birthday party in Robinson. I look towards a ups compound/ office building. I see a orb or some kind of light start to float up and it went up then it flew over us. I looked towards my sister who I am one year older than I tell her “Did you see that?!” Then she said “ I think...”for the rest of the day I’ve been wanting to report this but I am confused and scared please let me know about this.

The object was shaped like a drone and was moving slowly across the sky at a north to west direction flying at a level of approximately 1000 feet. It suddenly completely changed directions and moved upward diagonally from west to east before disappearing into the clouds in a matter of 3-5 seconds.

While drive west on 30, a blue teardrop shaped form flew into my field of vision. At first I thought it was a falling star, but then instead of falling towards the ground it banked west and disappeared. The ship was a very light blue with a tail of light blue. This all took place in around 3-4 seconds.

On November 17th 2018 witnessed what we believe is a jet fighter almost colliding with a UFO. I email the picture of the before close call and a video of after. I missed the close contact shot. The jet was easily identified by its contrails. It was traveling East to West. The UFO was in the port side of the jet coming from the South heading North. I'm not experienced enough to identify the other flying craft. It did fly at a higher rate of speed compared to the jet. The craft also seemed to fly funny. Almost like a studded before a burst of acceleration. It's possible that the flying object was part of a training exercise. The UFO made the jet look sluggish and rugged in comparison.

On November 17th 2019, my girlfriend and I noticed a fighter jet flying West around 1624hrs. To the South, heading North was an odd shaped, fast moving flying object gaining speed to the jet fighter on its port side. The contrails made the jet obvious to identify. The second flying object was oddly shaped in comparison to the fighter jet. The two objects seemed to almost have a midair collision. I took a picture before the near miss and a video after. I failed to get my view of what I believe to two flying objects almost colliding. One was a fighter jet and the other was an unfamiliar craft traveling at a high rate of speed. My logical answer would be a possible drone photoshoot of a fighter jet? That still does explain the speed difference between the two. The jet looked sluggish and slow in comparison. If there was a near miss mid air collision, there should be a report. It may be nothing, I'm not experienced enough to identify the object in the picture and/or video.

Saw bright white flashes in the sky that made us look- we thought lightning. Then a HUGE triangular shape appeared with big, bright red lights on each corner. This thing took up a big portion of the sky. The lights were so bright that you could clearly make out the shape. We all stared for several seconds. Two of us went to get out cameras for video keeping eyes on the lights. Then the brightest beam of white light came down from the center of the triangle and it was gone. I looked away long enough to hit video on my phone and point me camera out the window and it was gone. No sign of lights anywhere. This thing was not moving across the sky, only hovering. It made no noise. Just appeared and disappeared. After it was gone, the cars GPS that we had our maps loaded on went to black and all our cell phone service was lost. Strangest thing I have ever saw!!!

Coming home to the North Hills (West View) area of Pittsburgh. Noticed bright, fiery looking balls in a mainly linear formation directly above and to the right of where I was driving. At first thought they must be some sort of radio towers, but they were very bright and appeared to be flickering. The lights (approximately 6 ) were in a horizontal line, except for two, that were in a vertical formation to the other lights as shown below: * * * * * * They appeared to be stationary, and since I was close to home, I looked for them when I got out of the car but they were gone. Asterisks' orientation to one another did not survive the transfer from our report form to our database. Original shows four asterisks in a straight line horizontally, and two of them oriented vertically in the center of the formation. PD

On November 9, on an outing we were driving around. When I saw a beautiful sunset it was 4:58.. in the sky the was an object white guiding down in an angle. We were taken aback. When I went to take more pictures we pulled over and we saw the object in a different part of the sky just hovering. Then it began going down until it was no longer seen. I took pictures..

Driving home and close to my house, I saw a red sphere or light traveling at about 2500 feet. It caught my eye because it seemed faster than a helicopter or small plane. Definitely was not a commercial airliner. It was moving NNE and had no anti collision lights or any other lights around it. It was at a 40 to 50 degree angle from me and made no sound which I thought I would hear compared to my lifetime experience. I always watch the sky and am very interested in all aircraft. The only thing I can speculate is that it was a low flying private jet that did not have any lights on except one red light. Still it was silent.

Driving from piking my son at school, we both saw two objects that seemed like they were free falling and you could see the lines that the air makes wen something is at very high speed one thing that interested me at the moment was that the object will go from facing down to facing a to be facing left or right.

I was walking my son to the bus this morning, when we both saw a large, clean white, pill shaped, wingless object moving through the sky. Definitely faster than what you would see from a normal plane at that height but slow enough for us to get a good look at it. Not a lot of cloud cover. Headed in the Pittsburgh direction (west).

My grandmother and two of her friends were almost home and stopped at a stop sign when she asked the other two women if they saw that strange light in the sky above them that had been stationary for quite some time. Her one friend said she had been watching it as, well, and was wondering what it was, when all of a sudden they said it took off rather quickly and they lost sight of it. A third woman in the car told them it was just a helicopter. My grandmother who is not one to believe in the unexplained told me she is positive that the light was not a helicopter. She said it looked nothing like that and there was no noise from the craft when it took off.

I was sitting on our deck and noticed an unidentifiable object in the southwest sky. It appeared reddish and was in the shape of an X. It did not appear to be moving. Watched it for about 15 minutes to make sure my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me. Even went inside and came back out and I could still see it. In the morning I googled to try to find an explainable reason for seeing this. The only thing I could come up with was a Red Rectangle Nebula, but it stated that that is not visible by the naked eye… Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

I went out to my back yard to look for my cat. I received a pair of night vision goggles for Christmas for sky watching, so I brought them with me to help find the cat. It was a clear beautiful night, so I started looking at the stars. After 3 or 4 minutes I saw what I thought was a satellite traveling west to east. I quickly realized it was too big, too bright, traveling too slow and it was flying way too low to be a satellite. I watched it as it traveled straight over my head. I pull the goggles away and could not see it with the naked eye. It started to get a little bit brighter and then faded away and just disappeared. As it was fading away it became transparent before disappearing. The object was not the ISS, which was visible from the witness's location at 8:47 p.m. (local), but which was visible in the extreme northern sky. Also, not an Iridium "flare." PD

I was driving with my husband in the passenger seat and my mother in law in the back seat. I noticed out of the corner of my eye an object in the sky. I got everyones attention and we all looked while driving down the road. I was driving so I couldn't look for long so my husband probably got the best veiw of it. I noticed one at first. It was all white. It had no flashing lights or any other colors. At first it looked stationary but the longer we looked we could tell it was slowly moving. After looking for a couple minutes I noticed an airplane directly above us and with that we compared the speed of the airplane to the unknown objects to verify our sighting. When we were about 2 minutes from our house, I spotted another one, this could be a second object or it could be the same one from before. This object we watched go behind this big black cloud and we spotted another one in unison with the one that disappeared into the clouds. I've never witnessed anything like this in my life so that's how I knew it was strange and out of the ordinary.
