Oil City, PA
My wife and I were in our hot tub around 930 at night, when in the eastern sky, we saw a white glow out of the glow shot 2 pale green lights that were coming straight in our direction, then suddenly banked off to our left, then the green lights and the glow all disappeared at the same time, like someone flipped a switch. my impression was it was like a portal opened and a craft flew threw I think the green lights were one object, but my wife tHought the 2 green lights were 2 separate objects it made no noise it was perhaps a half mile away...very strange. Witness indicates that the date above is approximate. PD

A little after 5am, I witnessed a silent black triangle fly across the sky over my house. The sky was very clear and I noticed a bright light in the western sky that at first I thought was a star but it seemed too big and bright and yellowish instead of white. It did not seem to be moving at first but then I noticed it was moving and coming in my direction (eastward). It had 2 rows of semi-large bright lights in the center, 8 of them I believe (these were the ones that made me think it was a bright star at first). It had smaller red lights on the corners and a row of similar size white lights along the back edge. The smaller lights were blinking randomly. The object appeared to be about the size of a commercial airplane and moving at a similar speed, but had no wings and there was no sound at all.

Pittsburgh, PA
I was driving East on Penn Ave.. As I approached Club One at 6325 Penn Ave, Pittsburgh, PA, 15206, I noticed initially 2 red balls in the sky, as if a group of helicopters were approaching. Then I noticed 2 more. There appeared to be 1 leading and the other 3 following. But, they made no noise. I pulled over in the parking lot that adjoins the gym near the McDonald's. As I parked, I noticed them flying towards the townhomes across the street toward the Shadyside area. I took a few pictures. I was upset I couldn't get video because I just returned from vacation and didn't have enough space for video. Then a larger one appeared which was about 2.5x's there size. But I didn't think I captured it because of the lights from the McDonald's sign. I also captured the 4 smaller ones, and unbeknownst to me, in the 1 picture with the illuminated McDonald's sign, if you enlarge it, you can see the shape of the actual object and the red going from back to front in a wave like design. But behind it, a few days later I noticed a blue glow. When I enlarged the picture there appears to be a blue circular craft. And between the 1st one in that picture and blue craft their appears to be an irregular, rectangular shaped object that is not illuminated. So there were possibly 7 total objects. I have attached the 3 photos. Please magnify for detail. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I am the 8/26 report from Pittsburgh- 5 orbs in a formation. .. time of event shld be bwtn 21:00-21:30 instead of 15:10 … ((END ADDENDUM))

Arnold, PA
The UFO shape shifted from an FAA tower indicator light, then it ascended quickly, descended rapidly. It scanned tree tops and houses over and behind Freeport Rd. It had a hammer of thor shaped movement. It was performing maneuvers that are impossible for a Prop drone. It defied our laws of physics in it's graceful movements. It then headed towards Plum and Pittsburgh PA.

Bath, PA
It was a constant brightness and I described it to my wife, whom was sleeping, as a single "firework," but it did not flicker or diminish in brightness. The track was also straight and not an arc. The speed was slower than a shooting star but much faster than any conventional aircraft. What was really eerie was there was absolutely no sound and the light, just went out and disappeared. I continued to watch for about 10 min. afterwards but saw nothing else other than a couple jets higher up.

South Heights, PA
We were standing by the fire pit at the end of our yard which overlooks the Ohio river. The sky was moderately dark and with a few clouds. Just out of nowhere a cigar/rectangular-shaped object with a slight indent towards the center suddenly appeared. At first, it was bright orange green and yellow, then within seconds became a florescent green glow as it shot straight across the sky far faster and lower than normal aircraft. The shakiest part for me is how it disappeared instantly as if into a black hole in the sky. Far away up in the sky I noticed an aircraft flying as well. My husband mentioned that he had noticed helicopters around the area in the past few days prior to this.

We saw a green bright light fly towards the earth. May have been on fire. Lasted for less than a minute but was falling and could still see the green as it fell behind trees.

Lansford, PA
I then called for my mother who she verified the same shape and colors. Prior to informing my mom she was on her phone watching a you tube Visio when my mom mention her phone went wacky with interference she stated that it sounded ver muffled and people were talking very fast. Mom thought this was strange, until she thinks the UFO might have had something to do with the interferance. We watched this for about an hour until it slowly moved farther into the night and just disappeared into no where.

Duncansville, PA
The whole thing lasted about 4 mins, and a minute of that it was flying with no lights. The strangest thing is I was trying to film it with my phone but my phone would not record. This might be cause of operator error but I kept hitting the button but it wouldn't start recording till it disappeared.

Making what appeared to be triangular formation. They were extremely low, so low I got this unsettling feeling I wasn't alone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

They had bright orange lights and seemed to be flying just ahead of the storm. They did not fly like normal aircraft and some flew against the wind, so weather balloons or something similar seems unlikely. I ran outside and was able to spot 2 more, which I pointed out to my neighbor. She told me she saw 2 craft identical to these 4/5 days ago, flying right in front of a storm.

Perkasie, PA
Approximately 8:45 pm, August 16, 2017. Location Perkasie Pennsylvania. Location Shadywood village. I was sitting outside, enjoying the coolness of the evening with two other apartment dwellers. By compass reading, I was looking 135 degrees to the south east above a small shopping center and the Bucks County Community College, upper campus, when I saw a very bright red light appear and moving in an easterly direction turned bright green and seem to stand still in the sky. The light was a steady light. Non-blinking. It moved in front of a tree about 200 yd in front of me and was blocked for a moment. Then still being green it slowly meandered on its seemingly easterly travel then made a upwards dart, via a straight line of travel. Once again it turned red and it seemed to me to be moving more in a southerly direction. It was at a low attitude so I thought but moved in a random zig zag for a short moment. Then the light went out. The lady's I was with seemed unimpr! essed but I know it had them going because it had me going and I was very vocal about it. It was a very cool thing to have witnessed. I did call the police but they showed little interest I recon they assume wackier old folks. That's on them. I have seen things before in the night skies I will chalk this one up as very cool.

I live out here in the mountains (2000 feet up) , so it's perfect for night viewing and there's always interesting stuff out here it seems. I've seen meteors burn up several times.. but this was no meteor. It was a lighted object , just as faint as some of the stars out there. But it was moving. I couldn't believe my eyes at first, because it literally looked THAT far away, like it was one of the stars that are hundreds of light years away, But was moving from due south to due north. and then out of view. I got my cell-phone but the light from it was faint, and wouldn't even come into view on there. It was definitely not a meteor or asteroid because it moved in a straight line from south to north and never was there any fainting of the the solid light. It was of the same solid color (white or yellow) the whole time. No blinking or blinking lights of any kind either. Planes fly through here all the time, and this was no plane from this planet. It honestly just looked like an orb of light moving from south to north....but it was VERY far away it seemed. The light on the object may of been from the sun setting as well, as the sun set like an hour (or more) ago , but up that high, I could see how the sun could reflect things from that angle. There was also no sound. This was amazing and my first official UFO sighting. You can email me back if any questions, but otherwise I prefer to remain anon.

Blairsville, PA
A Orange Bright Circular Object Appeared To the south of Blairsville. A loud boom was heard, and then a object very large glowing orange appeared coming up from the ground at a steady rate. The object came straight up, then headed southeast towards Johnston at very high speed. The object then just disappeared. Shortly after a helicopter flew over the area heading towards Latrobe Airport.

A lime green "falling star" streaked across the sky heading north along Rt. 100. Lost sight as it flew behind the tree line. 2 people saw the event at the same time and was too low to be a commercial aircraft. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Berks County, PA
Almost directly overhead, at a distance that made the objects resemble satellite flares. The objects moved into the field of view from south to north, at first appearing as if they were satellites. They then stopped, and proceeded to move about in changing directions as if they were searching an area of the sky. This continued for more than 30 minutes and in fact had not yet stopped when I simply stopped watching. I frequently watch the stars and enjoy watching satellites and meteors on clear nights. I definitely know the difference between satellite movement, aircraft (I'm a private pilot), and stars/planets. At times it appeared as if the objects 'released' other very faint objects. This is hard to be certain of, given the distance and very faint nature of the secondary objects. Also, at times it appeared as if a perfectly concentric circle of blackness enveloped the objects; again, given the distance this feature was hard to discern at all times. Overall distance covered is best estimated as follows: I noticed the objects coming past about 230 degrees on the compass and they stopped and "searched" at about 300 degrees moving around an area encompassing roughly 290-310.

Altoona, PA
Sometime between the hours of 10:15pm and 10:30pm, myself and two friends of mine witnessed a cluster of multi-colored lights in a formation travelling across the sky in what we think was a northeastern direction. At first we thought it was fireworks, but the formation of lights which seemed to pulsate between shades of blue, red and green traveled across the sky in the same direction until they moved behind the trees and beyond our point of view. They seemed to be at the same altitude as aircraft. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and he seemed to us to be quite sincere, and sober-minded. PD

Amber/gold round lights, traveling from NW to SE. Solid color, no flashing and totally silent. One light, then approximately 30 seconds later followed by two closer together, and 30 seconds after that followed by another single one. Appeared to be much lower than most planes and in a completely different flight path than any planes observed during our 18 years residence at this location. Vector was approximately half way between horizon and apex of sky, towards the west. All four lights were moving in a straight-line formation. Witnessed by three adults on clear night. Some video recorded on cell phone.

bright orangeish light that came up over the horizon and slowly got bigger as it came closer i noticed flashing lights like a plane would have. one red one green and a row of white lights. the lights flashed red in the front then 5-6 white lights in a row going down / across the craft with a green one on the end. it did have the sound a plane would make but for as low as it was flying it should of been a lot louder. i guessing it was no more than 5-600 feet off the ground. it passed over me and it was out of sight in 10 seconds. of course i had left my phone at home still cant believe no one saw it

Coudersport, PA
I observed a red and orange ball of light moving slowly, from East to West, for about 2 minutes. When the ball was approximately 1 mile from town, and about 2000 feet above the ground, it turned to the right. The ball then proceeded to travel North over a hill rising at a faster pace than its East to West movement. The total time was just about 4 minutes and I was able to get a picture and take a minute and a half video. Both are horrible quality, as it was on my phone and very low light.

New Oxford, PA
My location: Route 94 heading north, Hamilton Twp,, Adams County, Pennsylvania 39.889562, 77.041664 While driving, I saw a bright orange sphere that looked like a setting sun but he sun set at 8:32pm. It was at 350 degrees azimuth and 30 degrees elevation. At arm's length, it was ¾” in diameter. While driving, I saw it for 10 seconds, before losing it behind a hill, then again for 3 seconds before losing it again. After cresting the next hill, it was gone. I could not tell if it was moving. The skies were mostly cloudy, so it may have gone behind a cloud, or been stationary and a cloud moved in front of it. I was not drinking or on medication, and am of sound mind.
