As I was looking at it, it was not moving at all. Then it shot off at a speed I've never seen. Anyone see something similar? We have assigned an arbitrary date. Witness elects to remain anonymous, and provides no contact information. PD

Very slow moving object in South Eastern sky. Viewed object with binoculars and there were at least three distinct red lights pulsating in a pattern along with blue or green lights as well. There was a central white light, too. No sound. My husband saw it and has no explanation. I texted my best friend who lives in the area of the sighting and she saw it too. None of us know what it is, but it's not a star.

My wife and I observed a hovering lighted object for 1 hour over the north sky in Washington, PA. It was bright and hovered in one position for 60 minutes. Multiple aircraft circled and observed aircraft. It disappeared suddenly. I am an Emergency Physician and well trained observer and this persisted for over an hour and was in Pittsburgh international airspace and multiple aircraft circled the object. Cellular service was disrupted during event.

I was walking into my house when I looked up and noticed a triangular shaped object movong around 35 mph North. All of the sides were congruent to each other. The outline was yellow with a gray center red blinking light at bottom. It was around 500 feet above my house. It was too close to the ground to be a plane.

I was watching the walking dead when i glanced out the window and noticed 2 bright glowing objects in the sky. At first i thought they were stars but I looked back I noticed they were slowly moving one directly up and the other slowly to the east. I live in the path to the airport so I thought maybe they were planes in the distance, but they had red lights on them, they were simply bright light, I went out and watched them for 15 as they slowly kept moving, I noticed one start to get brighter and glow with a green hue i went back in to get my phone to try and get a picture but my camera sucks at night so I didnt bother. I went back in to try and get someone to take a look with me but when i went back in they were gone. I live in the city I thought this was very odd I know what helicopters, stars and planes look like in the sky and this was neither. I feel a bit weird even posting this but Mr. Davenport always encourges us on coast to post these things so im doing that now.

Philadelphia, PA
On Saturday, November 5th, 2016, roughly some time between 5:15-5:45 PM EST, myself (driving) and another male occupant (passenger) in a moving car traveling South on Route 1 in Northeast Philadelphia witnessed 4 objects in the sky that appeared to have either been being chased or observed by 3 military jets. It was at that point in the late day, when the sun is just starting to go down, so it was still very bright outside. The sky was extremely clear, and there was not a single cloud in sight anywhere to be seen. As I was driving South on Route 1 in Northeast Philadelphia, I was passing right at the area of Route 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) and Oxford Avenue, and I was in the far left lane of the middle lane. I just happened to look up at the sky in front of me and to the left, when I noticed what I right away assumed to be just a white cloud stationary and not at all moving up in the sky. After passing Oxford avenue, I got stuck at the next traffic light. I kept looking at the object and noticed that it was not moving at all, and that there were no clouds anywhere in the entire sky. As I kept staring at it, I thought it was a very starge looking cloud, and then very quickly realized it was not a cloud at all. When I realized this was not a bird, cloud, or an airplane or helicoptor, or any known aviation object I have ever seen before, I asked my passenger, "Do you see that up there?, What is that?" He was amazed just like me and we sat in traffic for about 30-90 seconds just staring at it. It was not moving at all, niether were we. That is how we know it was not moving. I was driving, and because we both were staring in confusion at just what exactly we were looking at, it never occured to either one of us to get a photo of it with our phones. I'm not sure it would have turned out anyway. We started driving again, and I could see it starting to move downwards, or in the direction coming closer to the ground. But it was very, very high up in the sky, and it was oviously very big. In front of me and to the left there were high trees, and we both lost sight of the object for a few seconds, then we saw it again after passing the trees off the side of the road. We came to another traffic light and were stopped. And then thats when we could see it more clearly, and we had the trees as an eye-sight-marker, as the object was in back of the foreground trees in our sight. So once we were stopped we could clearly see the object more visible in detail and how it was movong and traveling using the tree as a marker. It kept moving downward in back of the trees, and as soon as we started driving again, when we got out in the open more where the sky was more open and visible, thats when we saw them. 3 more of the same exact kind appeared out of nowhere to the left of the first object we saw. We dont know if they were already there and were just obscured by the trees or not, but I only saw the one at first, when the viewable sky was all open for my vision. And like I stated above, it initially was not moving and was actually closer. The more we drove in it's direction (South) the further away it became. It was oviously movong very fast. There were a total of 4 objects in the sky, and they were all the exact same shape and white-brightness, still not known if it was the sun refecting off the object, making it so bright during that time of day, at least thats how I percieved what I was looking at. My passenger said that the other 3 to the left just dissapeared and then reappeared right in the air. I did not see that myself. The Description of the Object: - It was a very bright-white, possibly from the sun reflecting off it's surface, and it was either the shape of a cigar, but it was tilted. And when it moved, it stayed titled, no matter which direction it moved, the tilt stayed. Im not sure about the cigar-shape, but I would describe it more like this: If you took a frisbee and looked at it directlyin front of you looking at the side, so you not seeing a circle, but the other way, it would look like a sstraight line, but slightly ovaled, but then on top of that, tilt it so that the left end it pointed down and the right end is pointed up. There were no colors or visible features, but it was also very high and far away to be able to clearly see it. When I thought it was traveling downwards closer to the ground, I really think it was traveling further away. That is how fast it was moving. It, and the other 3 just kept getting smaller and smaller, you could tell they were moving very fast. And as it moved, like I mentioned, the "tilt" of the object never changed. Still driving, I looked to the right up in the sky to see if there were more of these things, and that's when I saw, very, very high up, 3 jets/planes of some kind, looked to be classic silver/metal in color of a jet, traveling in the same direction as the objects. All 3 jets were moving what seemed to be slow compared to the other 4 objects. Each jet was leaving a clear small air vapor behind itself which quickly dissapated. As soon as I turned my head away from the 3 jets to the right sky, I watched the 4 objects to the left start moving extremely fast, as if they just caught wind of the 3 jets coming their way. If these were, oviously, military jets sent up to observe or chase these objects, they would most likely have been sent from Willow Grove Air Force base in Warminster, Pennsylvania, which was roughly 20 miles away from our driving location. They must have gotten there quick, because when I first looked around after seeing the first object not moving at all, I saw nothing else anywhere. And the 3 jets were pretty high up. At this point we both observed the 4 objects, which seemed to be each about 2 miles apart from each other, and the other 3 further ahead now from the 1st object we witnessed, traveling at great speed, still with the "tilt" not changing at all, all 4 objects within 3 seconds, just took off southbound at incredible speed, and then they just dissapeared over the horizon. To describe the 1st object, as it was stationary and not moving in better detail, it just hung in the sky, like a cigar, tilted, shining very bright white, as if the sun was reflecting off it, I am pretty good at judging distance with my eyes, so just a guess, I would say it was about 1-2 miles in length, and roughly about 5-6 miles away. I really wish I could have got a photo of it when is was just sitting there in the sky, but I was driving and it all happened to fast. This was the first time for both of us ever seeing an object we could both say was a UFO for sure. If it was a black-project type object, who knows. But we are absolutely both sure of what we witnessed, and this was not a mistaken known aircraft. And also we both have never seen such a thing, or expected to ever see such a thing in this area of Northeast Philadelphia where we were at the time. The entire thing was very strange. We did look around at other drivers to see if they were looking up at it too, and we did not see anyone looking at it. Although, people were driving, it would have been hard to have witnessed it, unless you were stuck at a light, and just happened to look up. I even had my window rolled down with my head out the window, so I know my vision was not obscured in anyway. That was it. The objects vanished once they took off southbound at an incredible high rate of speed, staying at their "tilt" in the sky, and 30 minutes later, the sun was gone and that was the end of it. We witnessed nothing else afterwards as we drove in the opposite direction going home.

Since summer 2016, there have been small glowing stationary lights (resembling) stars, but, with a alternating red light and amber colors. Since they were small like stars and silent and have been many each night over the 2016 summer, I assumed they may be satellites, but not sure and this happened each night throughout the entire summer in all areas of the sky, but most noticeable in the same places each night. Then as the night grew later more would appear. They are spaced out over the entire night sky surrounding my area. However, last night, November 4, 2016 at approximately 8 pm, along with the smaller glowing, alternating amber and red star like objects (which I assumed were satellites, and still many of them over the sky in all direction, there were 2 additional and very very different objects. Not only bigger in size (they were huge) but not clear on the shape even with my binoculars. These things were glowing red and stationary, but, began fl! ashing, on and off in no particular sequence (as if speaking to each other) then, they began moving simultaneously, side by side across the sky at a speed different from any airplane or craft, not making any noise whatsoever. They would stop and hover for a bit, then begin moving and again side by side, simultaneously, and flashing their lights periodically until they were out of view. I have never ever seen anything that big and completely different than any airplane, blimp or craft that I have you see in the night skies. There is something strange going on and that unnerved me a bit. I am a little scared about these objects, but, mostly excited...I pray others have or will see them, too, and report it.

A few minutes later, we arrived at home. We both are getting out of the car, when I hear a faint noise above me. It's not loud like an airplane or a helicopter, but I could hear something. I mentioned the sound being weird to my son, and as I said that I noticed he was staring up into the sky asking me what he was looking at. So I looked and it was this huge, triangle, thing hovering in the sky. It was moving, but at a pace where it was slow enough to watch. I stared at it in pure disbelief. It was triangular in shape, black or like a very dark gray in color, had a circle on the bottom with lines through it of what I could see and a red light on each corner of the triangle. It was also very low. If it would have come down a few like 12 feet further, it would have hit the tops of the houses where I live. My son was so scared and was yelling for me to go inside, but all I could do was stand there and watch it move. It took about 7 minutes to fully disappear back into the sky, but was gone just as fast as it appeared. A few days later the electric in my home started going haywire. I would come home from work to see all of my clocks blinking. I had to reset things in my house about 7 times over the last 2 weeks but no one else in our area had any kinds of issues. Anonymous report. We have no way of knowing whether the report is serious-minded, or whether it might be intended as a hoax. PD

On this morning, I was getting out of my car for an appointment. I looked up in the sky and there was this white fast moving Hindenburg shape craft moving across the sky. It was the speed of a helicopter, if not a bit faster. Shortly after that I noticed a regular airplane fly by and wondered if they saw it.

My granddaughter and I were out for a walk with our dog on the evening of Oct. 25, 2016 at about 7:15 PM. As we were walking South on Madison Ave. toward Dewberry, I could see a bright light behind the trees. As we continued walking, 2 low flying, silent craft were heading straight for us. They were descending all the while I was watching them. I could only discern the bright white lights, no shapes. We turned around and high-tailed it home. I kept looking back (praying all the way home), they turned a bit west (we were headed northeast). I could see them as I looked down the side streets on our way home. I checked for a while, looking out the front of our house - they never came this way.

Looking out my window while star gazing I witnessed a slow moving object travel from my south to my east at an altitude of aprroximately 65 degrees. At first I thought the object was an aircraft. Upon further inspection with my 10 x's binoculars there were no navigation lights however the craft was somehow illuminated. Its color appeared a rusty orange. Through the binocs the size of the UFO would be compared to a jet airliner. I could not make out any exact details of the flying object except it was cigar shaped with what appeared to be solar panels or wings of some kind located around the middle of the its body. The evening was clear, the moon was not up yet and in or near it's last quarter phase. Conditions were favorable for star gazing. My dilemma, since there were no lights on the aircraft, why or how was it illuminated? Looking through my binoculars (10 x's)the craft I saw was about the same size as a jet airliner. The UFO gave no emission or contrail. It had to be in at least a low orbit around our planet. That far away, looking through my binoculars it appeared to be the same size as a jet airliner. The object had to be gigantic for it to appear the size as a jet airliner. How else could the object be illuminated if not from the moon's reflection. I've seen, on many occasions, the ISS and never have been able to see any detail of that craft the way I did this object. So, here I am making a UFO report.

While driving on south Market past the Lumberyard, I noticed a light passing through the clouds on my left. At first I thought it was the moon, until it jetted across the street and settled above the lumberyard. Through breaks in the clouds I could see obvious forward lights and a v shaped pattern of lights on the undercarriage. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
