Harrisburg, PA
Driving down highway with girlfriend near three mile island (tmi) nuclear power plant within 5 miles. Cylinder shape metal object right over head and in front of us on highway. Sparkled in sun reflection. Tilted at about a 45 degree angle both poles of the object one pointed at sky other at the ground and was moving directly away from us opposite of the way it appeared to be pointed. Was moving oddly fast when we first noticed it moving away from us overhead like following the highway and then it increased speed rapidly and shot off and disappeared in a second. I followed it with my eyes or at least tried to it literally shot off and got tiny really fast showing distance and disappeared ahead in a smooth but sudden and lightning fast acceleration and was gone. Clear blue open sky sunny out at the time we saw it. Girlfriend and I both saw it.

On December 28, 2017 @ approximately 8:30 pm I noticed a very large stationary bright orangish yellow light in the southeastern sky so I hurried and got my spotting scope to get a better look. Whenever I returned and started to look at it through the scope it slow started moving north just above the trees maybe 50-100 ft. I debunked it being a plane or helicopter because there was no noise and no flashing four lights. It also wasn't a satellite cause it was too low. Fully zoomed in on it the shape of the craft was very distinguished and appeared to pulsate going dim to bright. I watched it for about a minute or two, until it was out of sight. Three hours later I was outside smoking again and noticed a similar craft moving from south to north but on the opposite side of the house. When zoomed in all the way I saw a disk shaped craft that appeared to be spinning while moving forward. The craft also had a rotating ring of lights dividing the craft in two.

On the evening of Thursday, Dec. 21, 2017, I was coming off my exit on Rt. 33 North (Lehighton exit) and as I was driving home on Rt. 209 north I looked up to see a very very bright light not moving -- thought it was a bright star since it seemed there were two bright stars next to each other but this one was much brighter, as I was trying to decipher what it actually was (cause it wasn't moving) I looked to see where the moon was and it was on the opposite side of the bright light so I narrowed it down that it wasn't the moon and it wasn't a plane since it wasn't moving. As I was staring at it since it was so bright it started to move in a dip or roll way so I saw that it was a "fat triangle" with three rounded tips to the triangle not severe points and at each rounded point of the triangle were sets of lights in a large circle with smaller partitions in the main round circle of light (each one of these large circle of lights were at each rounded point of the triangle). This thing still did not move but just dipped one way and stayed a few seconds that way then went back to the original way it was. At this point I had to keep going on the road so I don't know what happened after that.

Mt Morris, PA
Sunday night @ aprox 8:00 pm est. Me my wife my 11yr old son and my 8yr old daughter were traveling on I-79N from WV.to PA. We exited I79 via exit 1 Mt Morris PA. We turned left off the exit towards down town Mt Morris when my wife says. What the hell is that in the sky!! I looked to my right and seen a large cluster of red lights. At first I thought it was a right away lit with red lights cutting over the Mountains. But the more I looked I could deff tell it was not .. There were @ least 10 maybe 14. Very Bright Red Orbs. From what I seen it looked like they were paired up. It was like a half moon formation with one side straight but they looked like there was a pair then a space then a pair. Unfortunately we did not get any video or photos. But it was witnessed by everyone in the car. We all seen the same red lights and the formation. The only discrepancy in our story's are my kids said that it was moving, and I thought it was still. But I was driving and could have not seen it move as I was watching the road also. Not sure what we saw but it was strange. Cluster

Another then appeared on the horizon, identical to the first. Soon after followed a triangle of three lights. Finally another single. All were below the clouds, @ perhaps 10,000 - 15,000 ft. They traveled in the same direction, stayed on the same course, did not lose altitude. Eventually they appeared to dim and almost burn out. But stayed on course. The entire "event" took more than five minutes but less than ten. It is a cold, dark night, approximately 8:30 pm EST. I'm not sure of direction, but I believe they were moving south to north. As the last object was disappearing, an actual aircraft flew overhead- easily identifiable by the "normal lights" and sound. It did not appear to be chasing the objects, but it did reinforce how foreign the previous objects in the sky seemed. I took a few pictures with my I-phone. They of course didn't capture what we saw very clearly, but they are all I have to share.

Prior to this sighting, their were 2 other sighting prior (Sept.04-17, Oct.2017) The sighting in Sept. was 1 mile away from my present sightings. It was witnessed buy me, my cousin, & my 21yr.old son. The 3 of us tried to make sense & find a logical explanation to what we were seeing. A quick summary of what I seen; 3 bright white balls following all 3 of us in the woods at my cabin located approx. 1m from present sightings. When they started to get to close to us we got very aggressive & they backed off real quick. We couldn't understand how these objects moved in a straight formation through the woods. Once they were far enough away,it looked like they turned left to right & all we seen was; a pink a ultraviolet mist of light being sprayed above the tree tops. There were no beams of light coming from any of these objects. My present sighting has a lot more detail & some similarity plus things that can not exsplane.

I was driving into town to stay in the Comfort Suites on December 6th, 2017. On I-80. I was listening to music, so I didn't hear if there were any sounds. I noticed 1 ball of light, fuzzy on the edges above me. I did not think much of it. The light soon changed to 3 lights. I became aware at this point. I pulled to the side to look up to see 5 balls of light. They hovered slowly moving around for about 3 minutes and then they disappeared. I had an odd feeling the rest of the night.

It was foggy misty and overcast. It was a little after 3 a.m. time is not exact either way. The Southeastern sky flashed with this odd blueish color for a few seconds. I thought perhaps there was a distant storm as there was a cold front moving through and it was colder. I kept watching for it to happen again, but it did not. It was very overcast, but the moon was still casting a lot of light.

I went outside to dispose of my celery and onion scraps (I was making albacore salad for the next day) and I asked my daughter if she wanted to go outside as she often does for a smoke. She stayed upon the 2nd. floor open porch, while I went down to the compost pile to dispose (Approx. 120 yards). After covering about 20 yards I looked up and observed a highly illuminated "tipped over capital "H", or and "I" beam that shimmered like a diamond horizontally across all horiz. areas. I yelled to my daughter (18 y.o.) to get down her now!, and she did. She observed also. After jumping altitude up and down a few times it changed to a steady altitude and direct path towards Lansdale (S/SW). The majority of the craft sparkled in a brilliant white with colors at the ends. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

this is to follow-up my original report of 11/30/17 of the I-BEAM shaped object {or capital "H" on its side with sparkling DIamond center} seen in Tylersport, PA, Sunday evening as I walked to dispose of kitchen scraps. This is not my first sighting, but the first reported. I am a retired pro-photographer that has logged thousands of hours in small fixed wing aircraft, and 2- man helicopters. I know what we humans are capable of building aka aircraft. This is not our skill level. I wanted to include my contact number, email address and my website (artwork generally). website address is ...theothersidesuks.com....store is ENIGMA, artwork is mine.

Saw a vertical line of light. It didnt seem to move much at first. It began blinking turned to the right and held a diagonal position for a moment before turning into 2 dot lights then reforming a vertical line. Of light. From my position it was on about 4 inches but it's a clear night and I know what I saw was not a plane or anything. It stayed in the sky for 10 or so minutes and one by one all of the lights dimmed leaving one light on making it look like a light or star. It was still there when I went to search for information about it. When fully lit up, it looked like a vertical bar of light like a fluorescent light bulb.

We suspect that the object may have been a "twinkling" star. Sirius?? PD

Wilkes Barre, PA
As the wbs penguins game was letting out, I observed a bright flashing white light in the sky. I realized the light was flashing SOS in morse code. I pointed this out to my wife and a few others. My initial thought in this day and age of terrorism was a hijacked aircraft flashing the landing lights. The object appeared to be slowly getting closer. Again I thought aircraft that was far away and high. The white light stopped flashing and was replaced with a solid green light. The object then appeared to accelerate rapidly, come more overhead, and stop again. It flashed SOS in white light 2 more times. The green light then accelerated rapidly back in the same direction it came from out of sight. The object came from and returned to the west. The moon was up but mostly obscured by clouds. When the object was more overhead, it appeared there was more than just a light. The green light seemed to illuminate some of the underside. It was so high however that i could not swear to what shape the object was. I tried to get video, but my phone would not work. My wife did get some video, but it is not very good.

As I was pulling into my girlfriend's neighborhood, and I finally parked my car, I witnessed a flashing object out of my rearview mirror. I got out of my car and began video taping this UFO the size of three football fields. The light blinked and flickered in an abnormal pattern the craft changed direction and had a tail that was connected over my girlfriend's house. The space craft than disappeared under a cloud and I slowly watched it disintegrate under the cloud as if it was leaving through a vortex. As the object was hovering over my car in disappearance the object was triangular diamond shaped, and covered all of the stars in the sky from my view.

I took Astro-photos back in November. I just realized the other day that there are multiple objects moving through the field of view. Not sure what they could be. Here is the url of the 18 images assembled into a video: https://www.flickr.com/photos/52623957@N02/39523150454/in/dateposted/ We have watched the video, and a number of very small objects appear to pass across the bottom of the screen, moving from right to left. We do not know what the objects are. PD

My location is under a flight path, so I am always aware of the difference between the flight lights and patterns, this was completely different. I wanted someone else to give me their opinion, I ran in and got someone else to come out and look, this person is an extremely skeptical NON-believer in UFOs. They saw the triangles and could NOT say a word.

Second sighting in 2 days, different craft. Approximately 6:40 P.M. I Observed what can only be described as a gigantic dark, slow moving, silent object that’s only distinguishing feature was the reflection of the street lights on its surface. As it continued to move N to N-E, I lost its outline as a result of the bright street lights. It was very low to ground. Moments later 2 helicopters seemed to fly over the exact area.

On 11/10/17, at approximately 830 pm, in the NE direction of the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia, we spotted a pattern of bright strobing lights that can only be described as frantic. The object quickly disappeared over horizon. Sighting lasted 1-2 minutes. Cell phone video available.
