These appear to be red dots in the sky. Approximately eight of them. Each of them had quite a distance in between them. One would go off and then shortly after another one and then another one in this continued for probably four minutes. They seem to be following each other. I had video of the last 2 and a half minutes. Because it was Christmas eve, I thought that perhaps someone was launching a type of hot air balloon or other type objects in the sky. But they were extremely high in the sky and then that didn't seem likely to me. I don't know if there were any other reports of these things in my area.

My security cameras picked up 3 different UFO's between 18:01-18:10 on Christmas. All three appeared to be ascending & first appeared in the same general area. They were very bright & were in camera view for as long as 30 seconds. I saved the video to a flash drive & would like to send it to you.

It was a big ball of light and I saw it hover for about 4 seconds and then shot off.

No noise. 75 plus lights they disappeared in the moon light. I looked in binoculars and noticed they were some sort of craft. They were all spaced out. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Driving south on route 309 commented on the moon going in and out behind a cloud. Little did I know it wasn't the moon next thing we seen was this object come out from the cloud. it looked like two large head lights one red and about 8 lights lined up underneath whatever was in the sky. at first we thought it was going to land on route 309 or on top of us that's how low it was....odd thing was there was no noise. this object as we parked in mcdonalds to see it looked as though it was encapsulated in this cloud I did however take a picture but it was too far all you can see is a light in the distance.

Penndel, PA
At approximately 8:30 am, Dec 12, 2015, I was outside my home, waiting for a co-worker to pick me up for work. It was a very mild & breezy morning & the sky was mostly clear except for some clouds here and there. As I'm usually want to do when outside,I enjoy the nice sky. This morning I noticed an airliner very high up, at a guess anywhere between 10-20,000 feet traveling in a roughly east east-westerly direction. As a I watched it, a glint of light far behind it caught my eye. I suddenly saw 5 gleaming spherical objects trailing the airliner going the same direction at approximately 1-1+1/2 miles. The objects were keeping pace with the airliner & were in a "diamond" type formation with the closest object behind the airliner being the "bottom tip" of the diamond & the other four, one each, at the "points" of the diamond. All objects traveled in the exact same direction & were equidistantly spread apart one from another, perhaps hund! reds of feet. At no time during the brief sighting did they speed up, slow down, change direction, move away from their positions or "phase" out of view. I immediately ruled out the possibility of high flying birds as all the objects were visibly flying, at some points, ABOVE the highest cloud layer, which the airliner was also doing. If they were birds at that height (which as a far as I know, birds don't fly that high) they would've been far too small to see with the naked eye & certainly would not reflect a metallic gleam as these objects did. Also, being that far above a cloud layer that high, as I saw their shape, they would've been FAR too large to be birds. If I had to guess at their size at that distance in order to be seen from the ground the way I did, they would've had to have been at least a hundred feet in diameter apiece. As mentioned, the sighting was very brief, merely a minute and a half or so. I was anxiously awaiting my co-workers arrival to h!elp me verify my sighting but sadly, he arrived literally a few seconds after they & the airliner they were tailing, all disappeared into the distance. If anyone has seen these objects at nearly the same time I did, I would very much like the corroboration. I've only ever seen a few "unexplainable" airborne objects in my lifetime but this was by far the most exciting!

I looked around to see If anyone was around or noticed but i didn't see anyone, just a car passing by. The dog was acting weird and pulling harder than usual which then prompted me to cut the walk short return back to where we had just walked from.

It was very bright and shifted shape from round to an almost diamond shape, we took pictures, however every time we zoomed in and snapped a shot the object would shrink.

Port Allegheny, PA
While waiting for my daughter at dance class, I heard a fighter jet, and looked out my car window. I got out of my car and looked up to see a triangle black shape with something sticking out of one side like a rectangle cage. It was accompanied by two military planes on either side. I got another woman who was there and we watched it together. After we could see it no longer, we got back in our cars. About 10 minutes later, I heard another plane. I got out of my car and looked up to see a cigar shaped object with amber colored lights along the whole side. This, too, was accompanied by a fighter jet.

Jamison, PA
While walking my dog noticed five glowing orange lights traveling roughly from W to ENE at a slow speed. Traveled across a commercial/housing developed area over traffic on York Road into my development. Ran after them looking down 2-5 seconds so wouldn't trip and when looked up they were gone. No noise ever except for background car & truck traffic. There was no obscuring or blanking out of the star field during or after glowing figures disappeared. Shape looked like vertical circular cylinders similar to glass vessel that hold round candles. Orange glow so bright that no edges of figures were discernible. Height and size difficult to say as size of cylinders unknown. Initial formation was first three cylinders made an arrow head with last two making shaft further back. Last one disappeared and fourth caught up and rotated with others to make a perfect triangle (see figs. 1-3). Fig. 1 = ll ll ➡️ = ➡️ = Fig. 2 ll ll ↘️ ll ll ➡️ Fig. 3 ll ll ll ➡️ ll ↗️ -Balloon(s)? Don't make sound but block star field. Aircraft/helicopter? No sound or blocked star field. Drone(s)? To precise formation/movements, star field remained, no sound and expensive equipment for prank and flying at night over busy street with lights out. I hold a degree in a science field. Reported to police and just recently saw this site to report sighting. Noticed a report of glowing orange forms eight days prior in Quakertown, PA, and after in other PA towns, 20 to 40+ miles from JAMISON, PA.

Huntingdon Valley, PA
My son was playing outside and he saw a white sphere in the East sky (about 30 degrees). He called me and my wife outside and we saw it too. I made a video with my Canon T3i camera (18-135mm) and also with my phone (galaxy s6). The object was moving pretty slowly and it first went up (in relation to where we were) and then it went down again, so we had to walk toward west to see it better. I ran inside and grabbed our telescope (Celestron AstroMaster 70AZ) with a 10mm view scope. It took about 4 minutes to focus it but I did. At first it looked like a white football with lights across it, but as my eyes rested I saw it was the shape of an Oreo Cookie, with either lights or reflective material through the middle of it. The lights on the right were shinier (probably because it was facing the sun). It seemed to be very far away and through the viewscope it was about 1" big. As we were looking at it neighbors who were driving by stopped and looked through the telescope too. I then called my brother in law who lives about 1 mile away and he confirmed seeing the white dot in the sky too. Finally we decided to drive to a higher location as we were worried the object was going to go behind the trees, by the time we got there (1.5 miles away) we could no longer find it. Getting home I asked my wife to draw what she saw, then I asked my son and we compared our drawings. I have no idea of what it is. I called my dad and he said I should report it here.

Beaver Falls, PA
Approx 3:20AM one orange fireball was noted rapidly dropping out of the sky over Beaver Falls area and it completely vanished at approximately 1000-1500 feet. No sound was noted. No tail was noted. I watched it expecting to see an impact but it vanished. I happened to just be letting my dog out at the right time to see it. Whole event about 3 seconds.

n the PA Turnpike, travelling west toward Ft. Washington exit. Mile before Doylestown exit of turnpike, noticed an oblong cigar type shape in the sky. It would flash red then green and yellow. Cannot remember whether red light was on bottom or top. But it would alternate back and forth, red - green yellow. Red - green yellow. It sat in sky never moving only the flashing sights. I watched it until. I could no longer see it as my car passed by it. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

1st day of hunting season here in PA. Was putting my boat into a local lake (bluemarsh) at 5am to head to my spot. I seen I very bright light off to the west, little higher then tree top level. Figured a incoming plane. It hovered for a bit, and the started coming towards me. No sound, at all! As it got closer, i realized this was not any plane or helicopter. It got almost above me, and I could clearly see a cigar shape in the light. I could also see as it looked like, windows on the craft. It was very bright, and didnt know what to do. I had a flash light in my hand, and turned it on, and as soon as I flashed my light on it... POOF, it was instantly gone!!!! No sight of it anywhere. It just disappeared..... Never seen anything like it before.... It was 1st day of hunting so im sure many others witnessed this.... Just couldn't make out the craft untill it got close enough.... it was close enough.... too close... Not a drone, no way... too big, too bright, no sound.

While driving on Trumbauersville Road, headed west, noticed orange light to my left in sky. Pulled over and then saw several more. Got out of car and watched as objects passed overhead. Silent. Low altitude maybe 1000 ft. Then noticed more objects appearing in horizon and moving fast towards others. In all maybe 30 total. Too many to count. Glowing orange. Bright. Several made unusual turns like a uturn then resumed formation. Maybe 4 or 5 also appeared on horizon to my right and passed over. The ones on the right were appearing from an entirely different area making me reconsider my first thought of Chinese lanterns and missiles.

November 22, 2015, I was once again driving south on I-79, this time just south of the Bridgeville exit, when I saw a blue-green ball in the sky. It was the same size as the blue one that I saw two weeks ago. This one once again fell from the sky really fast once, I focused on it. Once again it disappeared mid-fall.

This was in the Southeast sky. A single light trailed behind the cluster farther south and as moved in a more intentional direction south to north. As it caught up many of the other lights faded rapidly. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Erie, PA
While in my backyard looking north towards lake Erie, a large triangular shaped formation of faint lights was traveling from west to east. The formation moved silently as it passed by, blocking out the stars behind it and the very large size of the object became apparent. There was another string of lights traveling with it that may have been a second triangular object partially blocked by the main triangular formation.

Walking outside, saw a bright green circle appear in the sky and shoot off to the north, leaving the visible area within 1-2 seconds. This is a circle, not like a ball. The outline of the circle was green and was roughly the same size in the sky as the moon would be.
