Pocono Lake, PA
Pocono Lake, Pa. June 12, 2017. 8:45 PM. While fishing from a boat on a lake, I saw a very long narrow streak of fire in the distant sky (almost like the fire shooting from a rocket ship in a 1950s science fiction movie). At first I thought it might be a shooting star, but the sky was still bright and it did not look like it was moving. I thought it might be a cloud reflecting a bright orange color in the setting sun light. After observing it for about 30 seconds, I realized it was actually moving very slowly towards me (no sound). It disappeared for a few seconds and then reappeared about few seconds later further to the right of where I first saw it and it was moving very slowly and going in the opposite direction from which I first observed it. It slowly started to fade and eventually disappeared. Note: The sky was very clear that night. There were only a few small clouds visible. I also considered that it might be a blimp but it appeared to be at too high an altitude than what I have seen blimps at. The object seemed to be very far away from me. That may explain why I could not hear any sound.

..Noticed from the west a fast moving orange glowing object, as it gained altitude I saw through binoculars a lighted object drop from it, only visable for a second, as the main object with the orange halo around it became smaller as it moved higher and more rapidly to the east. Then looking back to the west, we saw another one coming the same direction. This one did not have the same glowing halo around it but again through binoculars I saw an orange light underneath a solid dark craft with no wings and appeared to be domed, circular and rotating. This one was at a lower altitude and turned to the north as I lost view of it behind some trees. They were close enough to be heard but there was no sound. All took place in about one minute.

On my way to work, using a side road to hit a major highway, off to my left there were orange-ish lights in the sky. I stopped, and went in reverse then stopped to make sure what I was seeing was real. I pulled out my phone and recorded for a few seconds, looked at the lights for a bit longer then took off down the road as not to be late for work.

Craft appeared suddenly from behind a small cloud in the sky. Star-like/satellite-like figure moving north east originally regarded as a satellite before making an abrupt stop. The object continued to move making two more abrupt stops before suddenly zipping off and losing light towards the east. An airplane was observed 30 minutes after the craft sighting, and looked nothing alike. A satellite was observed 15 minutes after the craft sighting and kept a steady path, much dimmer as well.

The whole orange string lights lasted until 11:41pm, about 11 minute I saw the illuminated objects. The first 20 seconds on this video which is not mine, is what I saw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKPF0pgxaRM Video is very good, but contains coarse language. If the viewer is troubled by coarse language, we recommend that he/she turn the sound off on the computer. PD

The 4 lights would take to box shape then line formation. Several times 2-3 of the unknown objects would disappear below the horizon and within a few moments reappear without trace to extreme heights and back into a formation without movement again. The unknown objects would converge on one another at very rapid speeds and then disappear for a moment, then reappear back into a shape. Please note that our view has zero obstructions, no trees, no hillsides, no city lights, no cellular towers. The objects gave off a reddish orange glow. Again, we are very familiar with this area and unlike anything we have ever seen. There were no planes or helicopters flying in the area. The objects were visible for over 20 minutes. They completely disappeared into the night sky approximately 23:35. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. We suspect that he is an excellent witness. He is former military. PD

Mountain Top, PA
Was looking in the night sky at stars and seen a light moving from north to south. Light was only white and there was no flashing lights indicating aircraft. Thought it at first to be a satellite due to the speed it was moving but it was only white and not changing colors like satellites I have seen before. I looked on-line to verify it was not the space station and seen that it was not supposed to be passing over at that time. I watched the light go from north to south for about 30 seconds, and then it went into a cloud and did not reappear.

I saw a red light in the sky that was too large to be a planet as I was heading to the store. To get a better look (because I was convinced I was looking at a plane or drone) I drove to view the object better. It was late, between 10:30 pm and 11:00pm. I pulled onto a dark street that overlooked a field were Kelton Elementary School once stood. As I watched, What I 1st thought was moving was in fact still. The object seemed to be glowing red (sometimes I thought I saw orange). The size kept changing..it seemed to shrink a bit. At one point the red light moved, slightly in a triangle shape. The red light was too far into the sky to be a drone. I did not notice any other lights in the sky, but for stars. It was making me crazy that I had no one to witness this, and my cell phone was dead. I suddenly saw 2 teenage girls in the field to my left. I shouted down to them and asked if they too could see the light from where they stood (I was up higher on the street, and the field was below me). At 1st they could not see it because they were looking in the wrong direction. Once they spotted it, they both yelled...what is that. All the sudden it began to shrink in size until it was gone..about 3 seconds. They both started shouting what was that..thanked me for showing to them..and I drove off. The light was too far away to be a drone and way too far in the sky. Too see my vantage point, you can google Key Stone Oaks High School, My Lebanon, PA. I was parked on Delwood Ave. in Dormont, PA. I'd say I was looking toward the Southern Sky when I saw it. This is driving me crazy!! What did I see?

Out for evening walk! SURREAL! Partial cloudy sky... Moon behind us.... Out of no where, these flashing lights [red, amber, blue/green] appear in the sky, and this craft starts doing cartwheels, and other maneuvers! It was at the lowest level of clouds but seemed no more than 300-500 feet above our heads! Going straight [NE], then immediately turning left; goes a short distance and comes back to the right doing unbelievable wobble type moves while going in UNPREDICTABLE directions! VERY FAST! Then takes off going W/NW and disappears into clouds! As it takes off doing wobbly type maneuvers and lights flashing clear & bright a jet begins to streak across the shy from the direction the ufo came from and is on a straight line path towards this space craft but it never catches-up! My wife and I both saw this very clearly! Her eyes are MUCH BETTER than mine..... I saw one craft [ship?] that was about the size of the moon and somewhat changed shape [round to oval] as it performed half-cartwheels, left to right. My wife saw this and a smaller craft interact.

Then I get closer and it's actually standing still about 20 ft from the stop light that was green, but I stopped because you don't see this everyday! So I get a feeling like its looking at me now I'm shaking in fear at this point! It was a about the size of a go cart and square which I found odd and had 4 very very bright lights on each corner! So now it proceeds to follow me on my side a little distance away from me I was so scared I'm swerving at this point! I thought it was coming for me...finally it dispersed fast...now take in to account this is moments literally before the big storm came huge lighting and tornado storm we got and winds we're crazy so my first thought of a huge drone is out of the picture… Honestly, the most terrifying experience I've ever had!

Chambersburg, PA
My wife and i were travelling east on Route 30 east of Chambersburg, PA, on Saturday 4/29/2017. My wife suddenly told me to pull over on the road because there were two objects in the sky in the proximity of a waxing crescent moon phase. I have seen UFO objects twice in my lifetime before this at least 40 plus years ago. We both looked at the objects while we were facing the west. The two objects appeared to be larger than a planet, saucer/bell shapes in the sky, both were bright with an amber to white hue cast sort of pulsing as they stood at rest in the sky. I had hoped that they would continue to get closer coming eastward to get a better look at them, but after about a minute, the one on the right began to slowly vanish followed by the one on the left then slowly vanishing. There was a slight overcast with very high altitude cloud cover with some clearing. When the objects vanished out of sight, it appeared as though they exited our atmosphere very quickly ! almost straight up and out. Back in the early 1970's when i saw my first UFO, it occured in broad daylight, and actually had time to get my telescope out (50X) and sight in on it, before it quickly raced across the sky many times the speed of a modern military jet aircraft, and vanished as well. I understand from my reading that the USA government does in fact have secret propulsion technology at Area #51 and has had it for years, continuing to unveil this high technology into military uses today. I would not be surprised that the two UFO's we sighted on 4/29/2017 were engineered by our own government. It is very exciting to see these objects, because it doesn't happen but once or so in a lifetime. This is my third sighting in 43 years. Now i must look at the skies every night. My cell phone camera is too cheap, it would not have showed up well, but to be honest i just wanted to see these UFO's with my eyes. My wife was a witness to this sighting as well, but she really did not want to take the time to write her own version of the sighting. It was quick,,,about a minute. My wife and I own a local painting company.

I was talking to my girl friend in Elsmere, Delaware, and went out onto my deck. I looked up and the clouds were lighting up with a ton of different colors. I asked her to step out and look and she did. She was seeing the exact same think I was. I tried to record on my cell but got nothing but our conversation. She was in tears telling me what she was seeing, but did not record any of the event. I made two recordings, but cannot see anything in them. Thought it was northern lights, but I was facing south. No noise. Colors red brown, yellow, blue, purple, and another color best described as black. No white lights at all.

Sighting of Jupiter? We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she was uncertain as to which direction she was looking. We encouraged her to look in the same area of the sky, in order to determine whether the object is visible again. PD

Looked as if it were flying straight for my house. Both were an orangey color. One stayed still while the other flew around it. The one that was flying around flew over to the one that was flying still & then they both flew away in the opposite direction of my house. The next thing I know, they're gone (disappear). Both were completely silent and the appeared to be gliding.

Orange glowing orb, pulsing, silent, slow moving, slightly redder in center at height of pulsation (2 sec intervals). Placed lower than clouds and moved from my 12 o’clock to one in a southern motion for 15 seconds, then hovered there for 10 seconds changed direction to east slowly for 15 seconds, changing direction for the last time to north moving slowly for 3 minutes, then hovered, slowly extinguishing out. No further sightings.
