Laying in bed. I notice a large bright green light that suddenly appeared moving north, shining in the sky so bright green that it shined through my closed blinds. As it moved across the horizon I could see it glow through each individual window blind. A silent large solid bright green light slowly moving. I immediately ran downstairs to look out the window in the direction it was traveling. upon looking out the window I got a better view of it as it suddenly was moving in a south direction. It moved across the sky slowly and silent. It looked like a bright green rectangular shaped light. When it moved out my view I went to a window 2 seconds way and it was then completely gone. I went out side right after and saw nothing in the sky in either direction.

After about 1 minute it appeared directly overhead as I thought. At an arm's length, it appeared 1/2 the size of my thumb (1/2"). The fireball continued at the same altitude, color, and speed. The sky was mostly clear with patches of thin clouds, thin enough to still see stars through. I'd say it was moving within the clouds as the clouds collected some of it's light. My rough altitude estimate is 1,000-4,000ft. Amazed at how long this object was lasting I debated to grab a camera, call a neighbor, or continue to watch. I went to another room to grab my camera and was again amazed it was still visible and continuing on in the same manner when I returned. I thought I was recording video. I switched my attention from my phone to my window until it was no longer visible in my phone screen. I called my dad and told him what I was looking at and it disappeared from sight halfway through our conversation. Judging by the phone call and timing running from room to room, I'd say the event lasted 10 minutes. When I say it disappeared, I mean it was too small to see. I watched it from pretty much horizon to horizon. When I look at a map and think about its trajectory, it's likely it was traveling precisely east to west. As for the video I captured, a disappointing, shaky second long video. I later realized the following week my touch screen had dead spots in it. So, activating the video was clunky. I will send a digital drawing I did of the fireball.

We attempted to contact the source of the report, but were unable to do so. The telephone number provided by the witness appears to be not functional. Possible hoax? PD

My daughter, son, and I were just gazing at the lunar eclipse outside here at around 10:35 p.m., and noticed 3 distinct crafts flying towards the Moon from the West. They were too high for helicopters and airplanes, and were flying what can only be described as erratically, into what appeared to be a triangle which framed the Moon momentarily. The crafts were flashing an array of colors, and it was really weird to see this action, during this, the eclipse." My son (16 years old) ran into the house after seeing this event taking place, to report it to his online friends who were also watching the Moon tonight. My daughter (14 years old) and I (52 years old) stood outside, watching the crafts and the Moon eclipse until we could no longer see the triangle as the ships left their positions only after a few minutes and flew due East, into the night sky. I am a teacher, and my eyesight is good. My daughter and son have good eyesight, too. We had seen a simila! r triangle formation over in a small town about 100 miles to the West of Las Vegas. It was very clear outside, although some clouds had blown across the Moon earlier. Thank you for letting me share our experience with you.

Cigar shaped steady bright green light. Moved slowly up, down, right & left of short distances. On one movement circular dim purple light appeared on bottom center of green light. Light moved slowly east. By the time I turned my car around, it was gone.
September 23, 2015 · 12:50 PM · OVAL
Monroeville, PA
I was driving, heading east just off the Pennsylvania Turnpike Monroeville Interchange. I caught sight of an oval object in the higher atmosphere traveling at a rapid speed. It was moving in the westward direction. Several other drivers around me also pointed up, whether they saw what I did or I am just speculating at that I am not certain. Upon driving a little further, there was a second oval object, again, white/silver in color traveling the same direction and at the same rapid rate of speed. Again, it was higher in the atmosphere.

Noticed a a flashing like out side of your living room area. When I noticed it was flashing blue/red/white/purple. I got up to try and get a better look of it outside the window. I saw it south east it was moving East toward Pottstown direction. When I got up to see a better look it had turned a white and moon type of yellow. But too close to be the moon or any stare because it was moving through the trees. Plus, the other witness that I was with say it first moving in the East direction. I ran out side and at that point only could see the blue and red flashing light then lost it though the trees. This object was low to the ground and to big to be a airplane or a helicopter. I would guess that the object could have not bin more then 4 miles. There was no sound just brilliant flashes of blue and red light.

There was a bright blueish/greenish hazed lighted object making absolutely no sound, moving west to east, It was rather low in the sky about 100 feet above the tree line. A small motored plane was much higher and eastward that I could here and see and I could distinguish its wing lights. This lighted object continued straight over the treeline, then turned northwest, very rapidly ascending out of sight.

The two bright lights were side by side about a degree and a half apart. They were too bright to be part of the constellation Cassiopeia which was rising in the eastern sky. I'm an amateur astronomer and noticed them as out of the ordinary. They were motionless and after about 45 second's they just faded out at the same rate. Brighter than Venus and a bit larger in size. They were on the left side of the constellation. The time was between 20:30 and 21:00 hrs.

2 objects left was red and right was green. They were side by side. They appeared 80% above the horizon SW hovering then accelerated at a super high rate of speed SW and disappeared 4 or so years ago we saw a white light that hovered and did the same I reported it on here. Why here at the same time during the Denver Fair?!

One, possibly two light orbs the size of a basketball, swirling low on horizon for approximately 30-40 minutes. Blue in color. Two eye witnesses. Hovering and doing loops over an area that is only occupied by a train yard and interstate 81/581

Western sky. Sunset. Five lights that moved in downward direction. They had short "tails" but no contrails. They disappeared after five minutes. One twinkled as if it was burning. We wonder whether the objects might have been airliners in the western sky, which were reflecting the setting sun. PD

Ardmore, PA
My wife and I parked our car right off county line rd a block up from Karen's hair in Ardmore Pennsylvania . We started walking north twords my friends house above Karen's hair. As we walked we observed a triangle shaped aircraft with 3 purple circle lights on the bottom. We stopped for 5 to 10 mins and observed the Triangular aircrafts were floating about a half a mile in the air. This Triangular aircraft appeared to be slowly towing an identical Triangular aircraft. The towed Triangular aircraft seemed in complete control defying physics. No visible tow line but it was being towed. They appeared to be floating almost cutting htrough the night sky .As the 2 Triangular aircrafts flew north silently a third Triangular aircraft appeared from the south east and proceeded to catch up and help tow the 2nd Triangular aircraft making for a total of 3 dark colored Triangular silent aircraft

My husband called me outside. I saw 6 very bright orange lights moving slowly and quietly across the sky. My husband said there were more before I came outside. They didn't look to be in any formation and I could not tell what shape they were. They each just looked like a big very bright orange light. They passed slowly but one by one they disappeared. I went inside and a few minutes later I went back out. There were now 4 in the sky, even lower than the ones before. Again, slowly moving across the sky until they disappeared.

Started with my mom driving home from work. She saw a bright blue object in this sky told me about it when we got home. She tried taking pictures of the ufo and after she took them her iphone went dead despite having 50% battery. When she plugged it in the pictures where changed after a brief charge the phone came back on at 53%. After I heard this i told her go to a place where i can see it. I brought my 20x80 binoculars and my dslr with a zoom lens. I got five pictures before my mom wanted to leave since we where parked in a lot. When I looked at it with my binoculars I saw a intense bright blue but i saw what looked like 2 sides. Just like the one one your site from 9/1 in PA. My mom said she saw different colors, but she can't recall which. It did not move at all during this time despite being near sunrise I did not see no light reflection from the sun like planes have when they fly into the upper atmosphere, so this thing must of been far away, but low.

Scranton, PA
At about 2 PM Eastern Standard ((sic. Daylight)) Time today, I was going out of my house to retrieve my mail, and I noticed an object in the sky that looked very similar to a dirigible, or so called cigar-shaped UFO. The front of my house overlooks a panoramic view of eastern Scranton, Pennsylvania. I estimate the object I saw was as big as a jetliner and it was dark silver in color moving very slowly from north to east about 20 miles per hour, then turned and headed west and out of sight from my position. I would say I saw the object for about 2 to 3 minutes and it really startled me so I quickly came back in my house and grabbed my I phone 5 to take a photo. I would say the object probably flew near the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre airport and was in front of Montage Mountain. I notified security at the airport of the sighting at about 2:20 PM and I am awaiting someone to at least call me back, and so far no one has done so. The elevation of the object from my location was about 15 degrees, the height of the object from the ground I estimate to be about 3,000 feet up. The distance from my location to the object I saw may have been 5 to 8 miles away. In respect to the size of the sun, I would say this object could have been about 80 feet long or more and about 20 feet high. The object made no sound. I will attempt to draw the object that I saw with this report and try to send it separately in an email.

Stationary twinkling object about 30 degrees above horizon looking north from R78/ R222 area. Emitting green, red and white pulsing light. Rising slowly to a higher elevation like a planet over a 90 minute period. Binoculars revealed same discription with more clarity. Distinct red/green /white flashing lights. No sound. Appeared to be some distance away. Planes with similar lights weere coming and going, not stationary. My wife and I both saw it with and without binoculars.
