At or about 23:30 hrs on the 28th of May, 2016, my wife and I were on the back deck. I looked up and saw what I thought was a satellite. I see them all the time, but as I watched and saw a second light directly behind the first tracking in formation. I have never seen a satellite do that nor do I think they would orbit them in such close proximity. It was not the ISS I know because they are in a mission to inflate the new habitat.

Leaving work on Uwchlan Ave. across from Severgn Apartments at 11:15pm. Directly across from the entrance to my workplace, I saw a red and green light heading in my direction approximately what I thought to be some distance away(maybe a mile). After a few seconds I realized the lights were actually closer than I thought. As they got closer I could see that the lights were attached to an irregular shaped object approximately 50 feet in the air heading South. I estimated the lights to be a bit smaller than traffic lights and the body of the object to be a bit smaller than the size of a dishwasher. This object moved very slowly(maybe 5mph) over Severgn Aparments toward Crump Road. I opened my car window and heard no noise at all coming from the object. I followed and watched the object as I drove South on Uwchlan Ave. I turned left onto Crump Rd. and then right onto Whitford Rd. to follow the object but it had disappeared somewhere over the tree line. I have never seen anything like this before in my life.

It Was A Bright Light. It Would Move Sporadically. There Were Also Multiple Other Small Dim Lights That Would Move Very Fast In Multiple Directions. It Was As If The Smaller Dim Lights Were Going Back And Forth To And From The Main Light As Bright As A Star.

My girlfriend told me tonight that last night she woke up out of a sound sleep disorientated with a loud screeching sound in the room. The room was flooded with light and her computer printer started printing. Her cell phone clock was ok but the other clock in the room was wrong. She left the room and went down 2 flights to the ground floor kitchen. The clocks were all wrong. When she calmed down, she went up stairs back to her room. The clock was now correct and everything seemed back to normal. She didn't know what to think and later that day she told her son about it. He and his wife's room were on the second floor and hers was on the third. He hadn't mentioned it to her until she brought it up. He and his wife went through the same thing in their room with the room flooded in light and the loud screechy noise. In both cases, no room lights were turned on, no stereo etc...however in her room, the printer is always left on. It started printing for no apparent reason. Although neither reported seeing an object, this sounded a little too much like some sort of encounter.

The object changed shape several times. We watched it the for almost half an hour. It stayed in the same area of sky, but moved back and forth and up and down.

Lewisburg, PA
A silent, fast moving, rectangular object with two large, light-orange lights (not flashing) passed at a constant speed north across the sky - smooth through cloud cover at about 4x the speed of normal aircraft in the area. The lights appeared to be at the front and back end of the craft, more diamond or square shaped than round lights, with a soft, even glow. The body of the craft was faint. It was completely silent in a quiet Sunday evening sky. I was on the back patio, talking on the phone.

On May 3, 2016, Philadelphia, PA, 8:39 PM, on steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, facing downtown, I took two photos with my Iphone. The first is wide view. The second is zoomed in, from the same step location, immediately after the first. I did not notice anything in the sky when I took the photos. My intent was to get a photo of the city at night. Later when looking at the photos, I noticed the row of lights in the clouds. I can assume reflection in the clouds, or reflection on the camera lens, but a few observations leaves some doubt. The lights change position in relation to the buildings. The lights keep their same relative size to the buildings. I take that to be the lights were in the sky above or beyond the buildings, and the lights moved in relation to the buildings. The other item is that the lowest light is brighter than the 7 above it. The sky was cloudy. I estimate the distance from the photo position on the museum steps to the tall buildings in the photo is 6000 feet, scaling from a map. Please review the photos I emailed and let me know if you think the largest probability is that it was city lights reflecting, and how to discount the relative position change with the buildings. If the clouds were moving and the lights were reflections, I doubt the lights would have maintained their relationship with each other.

On April 30, 2016, at approximately 23:50, a dark, triangular shaped object, was seen by my brother and I, flying slowly, approximately 500 ft. above the treetops. Its distance was only about 2 miles from where we had sighted it, flying over the West Ward of the city. I could only guess at the size of the craft, possibly being 70-75 ft. from tip to tip of the wingspan. When first noticed, the bright-white lights on its underside were facing us, as it was banking 90 degrees on its port side. There were at least four, but more probably six lights, all white and very bright. When I had first spotted it, the aircraft was flying in an easterly direction in this 90 degree position, then it hooked sharply and headed NNW, immediately leveling out its flight after completing the turn. I believe one red and one green, slow-flashing light was positioned respectively on the left and right wing-tops as it headed away from us. The total time of observation was about 30 seconds. I've never seen a craft of this size move this slow, traveling this low and making such an immediate hard turn. Personally, I wouldn't doubt if this was a military aircraft, as it was very exotic to me, but didn't strike me as being non-terrestrial. Some people that I have described the sighting to, believe it may have been a military drone. Possibly, of the TR-3 family.

Barbecuing on the deck Saturday night and was shocked seeing red flair like objects traveling at about 30 mph in no certain formation. Going from south heading north. Got video.

April 30, 2016, at about 9:30 pm Philadelphia, PA. I saw about five groups of orange yellow orbs flying over my street. They flew almost in line, one or two blinking as it went.

While in the car, looked up and saw a very strange shaped aircraft and sat still and motionless in the sky, it then slowly started moving, stopped again, then started to move again it almost seemed like it was following us, I was recording it and maybe they knew???, but after a bit it seemed to take off, it also looked like it had some weird black thing in the middle of it, maybe an opening or somthing like that

Curwensville, PA
I was standing outside the Curwensville Moose Lodge around 8:30 pm, when I noticed a star that was very unusual. It was a orange/yellow color. At first I just thought, well that's a weird star and was going to leave it at that. But then, as if it knew I was staring at it, the "star" started to slowly move upward. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me until I used another star as a reference point. That's when I knew it was in fact gaining altitude. It was moving slowly upwards until it was over the top of my head. That's when I noticed it had a white pulsating light. I started to get nervous and went to reach for the door to the moose, but it slammed shut. Because it was a push door that only opened on one side, I couldn't get back in. I looked up and it looked like this thing was now staying directly on top of me, I really got nervous and began knocking on the door in hopes that my friend would hear me, and luckily she did, and let me in, when she did open the door, I pointed the object out to her and asked her what she thought it was. She didn't know. I didn't know either. But about 2 years ago I experienced almost the same thing except with 3 "stars" in a triangle formation that were still until they started to move directly over the top of me. Both times, I got into a building and when I came back out, it was gone, on both occasions. I still can't say what they are.

Bensalem, PA
This evening, at around 9:10 p.m., when I left my house to pick up my son, I noticed a whole group of red lights moving in the sky. They were in a rough formation, following in a line from west to east. There were at least 12 dots of bright red light. They could have been planes, but I’ve never seen planes with only bright red lights. They looked like balls of fire, or embers, floating across the sky. I’ve never seen anything like it. I yelled for my wife to come outside. She was amazed by it. They were travelling way too slow to be meteors/shooting stars.

There were two flying balls above Limerick that were flying at a slow speed. It may be two missiles, but I believe it to be a UFO. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Bushkill, PA
At 8:45 pm on March 30, 2016, I witnessed a bright Diamond or Star shaped object in the sky. It flew at a very low altitude. It did not have any type of lights such as normal aircraft, plus we live in a no fly zone so usually you can see aircraft moving in the distance but not over our house ever. The object was very bright and traveled west in the southern sky before turning and traveling north. The object remained at a slow speed, omitting no sound during the entire occurrence. When my wife started flicking on and off our exterior light, The object hovered for a few seconds in one spot then began to accelerate and rise into the sky until it looked like a distant star then faded out to nothing. Both my wife and I witnessed this type of craft and movement on numerous occasions in this area but this is the most recent occurrence.

One of us grabbed the binoculars so we could get a better view during that time the other was keeping an eye on the object. When we had the binoculars, we took notice that the object started moving but at a very slow rate. Even with the binoculars we could not make out what this object was it appeared to be bright yellow and almost looked like a balloon or bag with a spherical shape, no lights, or identifying markers. As we watched the object it did not seem as though it had a set path since it made a "Z" motion through the sky, without making any sound, or leaving any trail. It appeared to be headed in a northern direction as it disappeared from view.

Small silent black triangle below clouds (5000ft-10000ft) traveling as fast as a jet from west to east only visible directly overhead to maybe 15-30 degree from straight up. No changes in velocity or direction. 2 more exactly the same 15-20 mins. apart. Sunny but spotty fluffy clouds.

Observed near Phila. Int’l airport at 9:29 PM. Probably a comet or debris covering a 30’ degree arc below the moon, from about high noon to about 2:30 in the sky east below the full moon. Clear sky. Stars. Was white in color and went in straight line at a very rapid rate with no trail. Then disappered without fallout or change in colors.

Larger than anything I have seen in the sky fly past. No noise and going extremely fast across the sky and disappeared in the horizon. It had no tail which would indicate something burning up.

I was on the couch and happened to look out the window and saw a metallic shiny saucer shaped object flying through the clouds, I did capture video of it that I would like to share, although it isn't great quality. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Plymouth Meeting, PA
On the night of March 15th, I was smoking a cigarette outside of my bathroom window and, as usual, was looking up at the sky. At this exact moment, I was looking up at Orion, and picked up out of the corner of my eye an object, which moving from a Southern direction towards the North. The object made absolutely no sound, had absolutely no lights, and I think the only reason I saw it was I was already looking towards that direction, or I never would have known.. This happened just about 15-20 min ago and I'm still shaking a bit, not scared, but very convinced I saw SOMETHING. In fact I know I did and it was NOT a plane because it's dark outside. The moon is strong so that may have helped me see it.. The shape was not easy to pick up but was closest to a "triangle" or shape of a standard airplane without the body,just the wings. It almost looked translucent with brighter spots of a lighter shade if that makes sense. It was very low,I would say no more than 1000 feet, I know ! how high that is because I build skyscrapers for a living. I know there is something other than us out there but it's very strange to actually see it and the hair stood up on my neck and arms and I was and am just "shook up" or something. As a side note there is unrelenting chemtrails activity over this area on a daily basis and I have lots pics of this activity. Don't know what else to say about it. Thank you.

Saver, PA
I was driving in my car heading north on Route 28 north of Sarver PA. I noticed a matte gray disc in the upper left corner of my windshield. I said to myself that this was a UFO. I knew people would say it was just a reflection, so I moved my head around and it stayed there. I also slowed down and stuck my head out of the window and it was still there. It did not move in the sky. The size was just about the width of my little finger held out to the windshield. There was a small cloud that was approaching it from the left (west) side. I was curious to see if it would reappear after the cloud went in front of it. The cloud did not take long to pass, but the disc was gone.
