New Cumberland, PA
At 10:06 pm, on 3-12-2016, traveling east on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, about 1 mile from Exit 242, a bright red ball suddenly appeared in the sky coming from the north. The ball was traveling at a fast pace, seemed to hover overhead then started to rise when it just vanished. Photos were taken with a cell phone. When photos were enlarged, ball actually appears to be a tear drop shape containing a bright white light, surrounded by a red exterior. Prior to seeing the red object, there were two bright lightening type flashes that occurred about 2 miles from where the red object was visible.

I WAS GOING FOR A WALK AND ALWAYS LOOK UP TO THE SKY. I SAW 3 ORANGE/RED COLOR LIGHTS INTO THE SKY. I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS STARS AND THEN THE ONE ON BOTTOM LEFT CORNER MOVED TOWARD THE SINGLE ONE AND THEN QUICKLY BACK INTO FORMATION AND THEN ALL DISAPPEARED AT ONCE.

5 orange/red/yellow somewhat triangular shaped orbs moved low across the sky in a north to south direction. They flew together but with no formation. One by one they faded rose higher in the sky and vanished. There was no sound. Contacted the local airport to ask the tower if there had been any objects on the radar, answer came back negative.

I was standing out back looking over harrisburg city, I noticed to orange lights hovering around downtown Harrisburg. They looked rather different, from the planes I am use to seeing. One looked like it flew directly into the river, a few minutes later the other one followed. They were just solid orange light's, Nothen blinked or changed through the duration of the sighting.

Salunga/Landisville area right by highway 283, PA
I was driving home with a buddy from a friends house when he shockingly yelled out of the window "What ((deleted)) is that!?" Meanwhile I only caught a glimpse because I was trying to focus on the road but when I finally did see this odd aircraft I freaked out. It was the biggest thing I ever saw pilot through the sky. So quickly I pulled over the car to get a better look. The object was maybe 1000 ft high from ground level which is actually very close and I could pretty much see its make up even though it was dark. The object was your "generic" triangular shape with a white light on every point of the triangle and a small flickering red light in the center. The object was far too big to be a helicopter and almost too big to be any type of large plan. The object also made absolutely no sound which is ridiculous for something of that size and low to the ground. I knew for a fact this was not an aircraft that was normal to these skies. The object moved at a very slow pace but seemed to be covering ground quickly do to its size. The aircraft also made several manuvers that seemed odd for any normal aircraft, flying almost completely sideways at some points. I was only able to witness this terrifyingly stunning phenomenon for about 10 minutes before the craft Heade over some trees...! I decided to get back in the car and pull forward to see behind the trees but after that I no longer saw the object. I've always believed in the type of activity but still never had any prove. I can say that my friend and I witnessed something incredible and we both have a story to tell wether we sound crazy or not. All I know is that it was real and happening right before my eyes. This all occurred by highway 283 Salunga/Landisville are in Pennsylvania between the hours of 10-12 (not sure exact time). Everyone please look up and open your eyes.

On the way back from the store we looked for it to see if it was still there and it was. We kept our eyes on it as we drove up a hill and realized the entire triangular object started moving really fast across the sky. The object looked slanted with a flat surface and was covered in lights. There were a bunch of helicopters in the area as well.

Tannersville, PA
A light blue or white orb was seen advancing at high speeds in a linear path right above our house during the night time. It did not produce sound, and was of unknown size. The altitude of occurrence was right on top of the treeline. Helicopters were seen during and shortly after the event circling the area.

Standing outside looking up at stars when suddenly a bright white ball of light shot past us, just above the treeline. It traveled North to South, toward Camelback. It was one of the coolest things we've ever seen. It was like a shooting star, without a tail, 130 feet above the ground.

I was on my front porch enjoying the evening sky. In between the Big Dipper and Polaris (from my perspective seated on my porch, it was to the right of Polaris and to the left of the Big dipper), what I originally thought was a star began to significantly increase in brightness. It then began moving slowly downward in relation to Polaris and the big dipper. It then began moving slowly left at 90 degrees toward and below Polaris from its downward movement before fading completely. I can't say for sure that it wasn't an airplane, but it appeared too high for landing lights, and it was not blinking.

i was getting ready for work, and had let my cat out a few minutes earlier. I heard him meow at my back door to come back in. As I opened the door I looked up (the sunrise was just starting to peak) and I saw an object traveling west to east right above the sheds in the back yard. This caught my attention because there are never planes taking this flight path, and it was low enough to see details of the craft, but did not emit any sound. Because of the position of my back door, as it traveled right to left I lost sight of it when it flew over the barn next door. I think it was roughly 1,000 ft off the ground, (clearing the tree line) and the size was a little larger than a Cessna-maybe fit 4 people. There were 3 white lights positioned in a triangular shape with multiple lights inside the body. The whole event last about 10-15 seconds before it went out of my vision range. I am interested in knowing if anyone else reported a sighting this morning.

On February 24, 2016, I took a live photo on my iPhone 6s of a double rainbow. I was looking at my old photographs and stumble across that one and held the screen to make the short gif start playing and noticed something strange eight little balls of white. They float across the shot and then disappear sometimes morphing into fewer dots. It all happens very fast, I've taken a few isolated shots of the clip as well. The photo shows several blurry white "splotches," which we suspect may have been seagulls, although we cannot be certain as to the nature of the objects. PD

Churchville, PA
Due to my vantage point, I could only observe the craft with the bright white light for approx 3-5 seconds. The original helicopter continued in a northerly path until it faded away. What stood out to me was that I heard the original helicopter hovering in area for approx. 5 minutes, prior to looking out window and then seeing it moving over my house as the craft with bright white light came into view moving in same direction, "leading the pack" if you will. I am an adult, with a trained professional background. Source provides not information about sighting. PD

As we continued to drive under it we were still amazed by what we saw we passed it by like 100 feet but could still see it hovering in the same spot so I told my friend that was driving to turn around so we could get physical evidence of it like a photo or video and as he commenced making the U turn, it saw us, because in like 1-2 seconds it flew over a hillside like 2 miles away.. nothing man made can cover that distance in that amount of time that's when I knew without a doubt what I just seen. Also I was looking online at some sketches of various different ufo's seen throughout history and I found one that was a really close match almost identical. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

I was driving south west (leaving Route 1 South business). I saw something really shiny in the sky. At first I saw 3 white lights all close to each other and I love using my telescope so I am pretty aware of the sky and what stars look like. I said to myself this had to be a pretty awesome star or just a new antenna in the neighborhood. Then, when I finally parked at my house, I saw a triangle shape aircraft like moving very very low (no sound and it wasn't a helicopter). I immediately went upstairs and called my husband he saw the blinking lights that stood a one place on top of a tree for about 4 to 5 minutes then it disappeared.

I go out to smoke when i'm at my sisters house so at the time described I was outside on her porch I saw a light in the sky and it was odd because there was light snow and low ceiling (2350) I found out later on the aircraft weather web site. the 1st object I had seen originated from north to south towards me then came to a stop headed east until out of sight the next was from the same direction of origin as the first did the same behavior came as close as 1/2 mile turned to the east and traveled until out of sight the 3rd came from a slightly different angle still north to south came to the same turning location turned and went east until out of sight visibility that night was 5 miles last week I seen 3 other objects that looked like shiny standard aircraft higher in altitude but no vapor trail that followed the same pattern
