Elizabethtown, PA
I noticed a bright orange glow towards the east. Kept an eye on it for a minute then decided to use my video on my phone. I did capture a little, but my dog was pulling me around. It was only one object which traveled towards me then seem to arc around and head north east. It was slow moving and made no noise. If someone knows anyone at ATC at Harrisburg International. Have them check the radar at that time. I'm within 10 miles of HIA.

I haven't determined who launched the lantern, but it was flying low, so I assume from Elizabethtown. My guess is the college. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Looking to the west from my deck I noticed an unusually low and slow moving bright white starburst object heading east. At first I thought it was a helicopter, but I thought it unusual because there was no sound. I watched as it moved toward me and grabbed my camera. Just as I took pictures. A second object appeared along side the first. The second object was red and glowing. The two danced around and then seemed to merge. A split second after they came together they disappeared, shooting straight up.

Flying low and slow east to west, we observed something with 3 white lights leading and a triangle of red lights trailing. There was no sound and object appeared to have been too long to be a passenger plane.

Approx. 4 seconds of a bright thick streak of light over the sky & pretty low. Then suddenly the bottom tip explodes a bright white light & you can see bits burst out then in a second nothing at all.. everything was completely gone... an amazing & almost creepy thing to see.

Williamsport, PA
Saw 4-5 bright flashes or balls of Fire. Few others saw but some as far South as Harrisburg. Then 6-7 minutes later a couple of explosions but they were 6-8 minutes later and didn't seem connected. The light flashes were almost parallel and spread across the sky. Wasn't typical heat lightning nor a lightning strike. I have never before seen ANYTHING before quite like it.

Me. And. A. Buddy. Where. Chit. Chatting. On my. Back. Patio. In the evening. Nice calm quiet night. I live. In a rural. Farmland. Area. Nothing but fields. All around. We. Started to. Walk out to his. Truck. As he was. Leaving. And as I looked. Back into. Our. Back pastures We saw. A. Absolutely. Huge cigar shaped. Craft. Very shocked at this in the moment of disbelief. We’ve been outside. Now. For 30 minutes. Heard. Nothing. As it. Came. Over. My fields. It. Had. Very bright flood lights5 evenly spaced but the ones on each end. We’re. Far brighter. Than the others. As we watched. It began too. Moved. In a snake like sweeping. Motion. As if it were searching. The. Fields. For. Something. It slowly sweeped out of. Our Field of Vision. I could determine. Approximately how. Height. And. How. Far. By. The. Tree rows. Forming a frame. To where. The object was. I’d. Say. 100ft or less above the ground. And. 300-400 yds away. This. Was. Silent. And. Was. ! Bigger. Than a blimp. As. My buddy. Went. To snap photo. Phone. Shit down. I havnt. Told. Many. Ppl. And. It. Still has. My. Hair. On end. This. Is. Very. Real. And. We. Weee. Both. Sound. Mind. I’ve recently. Asked. The guy who. Was here. And. My friend. Started. Saying. A different story. Entirely. Like. He had. No clue. Of. What. We. Witnessed. I’d. Like to speak. To. Someone. Professional. I. Need. Help. Ever. Since. They. Know. I know. And. Are close. Very close. To me. Please. With. My. Regards. Thanks

West Park, PA
At first it was two solid white lights as it approached, until it was almost directly overhead, and a third rear light was visible. There where no blinking lights and no sound. It seemed to be high above the clouds, because when it crossed over them, the bright lights were no longer visible through them.

I was outside in my backyard feeding my infant i was facing south looking up at the clouds and also looking at a jet aircraft and all the sudden above the clouds which were at 25,000 feet after calling the pittsburgh weather service came from over head a triangle/chevron shape craft that was black and also had a red coloring on it flying what looked to be way faster than the jet craft just not stop in a straight line heading south. it was moving to fast for me to get my phone out i also had a child in my arms. the craft looked to be very large at the time i ran to the side of the yard and it was gone because of how fast it was traveling at the time.

I stepped outside to walk my dog and looked SW in the sky in the direction we were to walk. Over the tree tops were 8 bright red lights traveling reasonably slowly from W to S, seemed to be over South Mountain. They were staggered in formation, all traveling at the same speed and were maybe 500 feet apart. They were not planes as that area is not on any flight paths and the lights did not blink. They were steady red. I turned and ran into the house to get my camera and ran back out. I was only in the house for 30 seconds. Upon returning outside, only the last red light (the most western light) was still lit but it went out as soon as I looked at it. There are no towers in the direction I was looking so the lights could not be the tops of such. I continued watching the sky in that direction but nothing was there. Right after that, the area security guard drove up and I ran to talk to him. He said he saw them too but from an area where they showed between the trees and he assumed they were tower lights. But, he agreed with me when we talked and he thought about it that there are no towers in that direction. The location is Macungie, PA just west and south of Allentown, PA. South Mountain is about 5-8 miles from here so the lights were that far away. They were probably 10,000 feet high or about that. My dog did not react to anything outside. It struck me that as soon as I spotted them and then when I swung my camera in their direction, they disappeared. It was almost like they knew I was trying to video them. These are my first visible UFOs. Very strange around these parts.

My uncle went outside to smoke a cigarette and he happened to spot the formation of the orange lights. They flickered as they gliding through the sky and they went left to right. They ended up fading away once they went behind the trees. My uncle ran to go get us and we freaked out and tried to record. i got it but its very faint and i only got the last one. the last one stopped in the sky and went up to go over a tree. Soon after, we all heard sirens from an alarm system and cop sirens.

outside about 7;30 pm on sat 9/24/16 cleaning and doing maintenance work at my auto repair shop in phila when I look up, its now dusk, and see three, looked like burning pieces of paper or debris in the sky, all heading the same way. 2 of them went side by side the first one disappeared very slowy into the clouds. no engine noises whatsoever, or any other noise, not even a dog barking like all day. the 2 that were side by side shot out some kind of bluish light, like they were looking for something or communicsting w each other then went up into the clouds. you could see a blacklouette of them in the clouds. 3 more came from the same way as the first 3 but 1 either went the total opposite way, north, or it came down? the other 2 were leapfrogging and going in the same direction as the first 3. then they would just stop. they went right over my head and I was waving my arms and they stopped again. after a brief moment, they proceeded, not a sound. looked like 2 burning orange embers floating through the air. COOLEST UFO EXPIERENCE IN MY LIFE SO FAR. they are here! going back out now again, 8:30pm any body else see this, I cant be the only one!

I was driving home with my boyfriend around 9:30PM from my Aunt’s house on September 22, 2016, after her birthday celebration. I was sitting in the back of the car because the front seat had boxes on it. As I was sitting in the back my boyfriend said, “Look at that plane.” I had no clue what he was talking about, since he said it was over top of our car and not in my view. I did not pay attention to what he was saying, because I could not see anything. Next thing you know, I just looked out the side window from where I was sitting and saw this massive object in the sky. I just had this feeling in my gut; something was off and strange about this object. It was shaped as if it had three missiles attached in a triangular formation. It was black and blended into the night sky. The object had this blinding bright light just at the nose of it not moving. It had appeared to look like a stealth fighter shape my boyfriend stated. It was extremely low to the ground; it was hovering right above the top of the trees. I was confused and I had this weird feeling. I thought my boyfriend was joking about what he was seeing, but when we rolled down the windows it was completely silent and moving extremely slow, hovering just at the top of the trees as I looked up at it. There was something eerie about it and I just can’t stop thinking about it. I am not sure if what I saw was anything, but I just know something hovered by tonight over the top of our car that I cannot fully explain and unidentified.

At approximately 8:35 pm, I looked out of my bedroom window to check if the regularly occurring lights were visible. After not being seen for several days we were surprised to see two then three lights behaving as before....dimming then getting brighter then dimming. They did not last as long as last time...dimming out in under an hour. Again however there is a odd cloud band visible mainly over the area they are visible. We suspect that stars are the first possibility that would have to be ruled out, before concluding that the objects were UFOs. PD

Charleroi, PA
9-20-16 approximately 7:50 PM—just becoming dark. Observed initially 4 bright gold/ orange cylindrical objects in sky viewed from hilltop of Charleroi Oakland Avenue and 4th Street looking eastward toward Belle Vernon /Fayette City. They were at random spots in no particular formation, and appeared far away in the sky. Objects were stationary at first, then moved sporadically spot to spot without seeing them actually travel from point to point. Initially I thought it was the setting sun reflecting on a plane, but there would not have been 4 planes at the same area, and they did not move like a plane. Object furthest to the right appeared to quickly become smaller (as if moving further away) and then vanished from sight. Then another object appeared in the same direction closer to the horizon, but brighter in color (brighter gold glowing) –it appeared to rise higher in the sky from the horizon, and then also vanish. When then looking back to where the re! maining original lights were they were also gone. I have never seen anything like this before, and 4 additional people saw this also. I have a picture and 2 short videos on my cell phone, but there is a street light in the foreground and with the dim light the pictures are grainy and do not truly depict what I saw.

I ran around building to keep eye on it and it was gobw

While on a FaceTime call, I noticed a bright light out the window, large and circular in shape. It was being followed by two jets, but the lighted craft was silent. It's not the first time I've seen it, it's shown up several (aprox. 3 times since the start of August) and tonight was the first time we've noted crafts following behind it.

I noticed a bright light in the distant sky over the woods starting on 9/11/16 and it has returned for the past 3 nights. It is normally white or yellowish in color but flashes red or green occasionally. It definitely moves around and does not seem to land for the several hours I watched it. Two nights ago 2 objects were seen and 1 few away.
