Observed Illuminated white ring move south south east at unknown speed and altitude. Thought it was strange to see an airplane without blinking lights, so continued to watch. The whole duration it was visible to me no light blinked, no sound was heard.. Would have heard engine or propellers normally. Too large and slow to be a sat.. Craft became dimmer and smaller as it moved away (distance perception) but the light seemed to be pulsating slightly as it got far in the distance. Told fiance and he recommended the site to me to fill a report out.. I am an open minded person, but I tried my best to debunk what I was seeing while I was seeing it.. I can;t figure out what I saw. Got chills afterwords when contemplating it, it was very strange.

A very bright round light moving quickly across the sky. It was brighter then any plane and did not blink or flash. Watched it for about 2 minutes, and then all of a sudden, it went higher into the sky and was very small then zoomed off up into the sky at a ridiculously fast speed.

Bright white lights, one just below other...not independent. No sound, low altitude, slow speed. Second unit hung in sky at greater distance and receded to west (Youngstown,OH). First thought to be ultra-light. Retired PA State Police Trooper and newspaper reporter wife. Confirmed to be Venus and Jupiter. PD

Driving from Mechanicsburg toward Boiling Springs on Rt. 174. As we approached Locust Point Rd., I notice a light, pinkish in color, in the sky to my right. It was diamond shape and was not flashing. It appeared to be hovering. As we passed Locust Point Rd., we pulled over so I could get video with my phone. I got video from the car but when I exited the car the light was gone. We turned around and went back. As we were turing around I saw an oval object, dark but outlined going over Rt. 74. We headed back to Locust Point Rd. and turned right, the way the object was heading. We drove a couple 100 yards and stopped. I could not see anything or hear anything. One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

Very windy today and i thought it could be a weather balloon that was illuminated from the inside. Been around avation all my life and i am a star gazer but i have never seen anything like this in my life. It really glowed bright orange. I ran in the house and had my daughter come out and witness it. I was shocked because it made no sound. I am experianced in avation but never seen anything like this. My only explaination is a balloon that was internally lite. It traveled the same direction as the wind was blowing. Very bright orange.

Went out for my usual nightly stargazing. This was something I have never seen in all my nights. 3 extremely bright lights were in the southern sky. I ran inside to get my binoculars. When I came back out one of the three lights was fading and moving south. After about 5 minutes the other two began to do the same. After a total of ten minutes they had faded/moved on completely. They were a bright reddish orange in color. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Four observed the pentagon shaped object flying around a fixed area of less than a block. Definitely not a helicopter. It moved in all directions covering about a street block. No noise was heard. A cell phone picture was taken. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I sat up, thinking I would have to call comcast and go off, when this deep voice said, "The Time has come, we are coming." Screen scrolled again, show back on.

Step outside in grass. Look to the southeast sky through moderately thick clouds, camouflage patterning the sky %90 covered. Moon is down below some trees to my right, only 3 sparse stars are seen. Immensely bright orange at first, extremely rapid (cannot detect black period) phasing as compared to an electronic, orange candle flickering yet observed motionless. Size, as represented by an average candle, would compare to that candle being seen at an approx. 10 FEET, IF observing only orange flame. True size and distance are unknown. After holding pulsing intensity for 7 seconds, brightness dims to star-like over 1 second changing color to white whilst doing so, motionless. Without holding at low brightness, color reverts to orange halfway through coming back to initial light intensity in approx. 1 second. Now, really truly, object ascends at 85 degree angle at the speed of a floating candle while looking like one, weaving cloud mass. Object is dimming down a b! it during latter third of "ascent", getting finally lost behind a SMALL cloud splotch. Object possibly seen once more in same location behind stagnant cloud displayed at star-like intensity in white color, pulsing. Total practical distance traveled in sky, 1 foot. My cat had been gone for hours, appeared to come back in I can't say more than immediately after final sighting.

While stargazing, my friend and I saw a light, which was the size and shape of a star, crossing the sky at a fast speed, obviously too high to be a plane and moving too fast to be a satellite. The object traveled across the sky steadily before slowing down, making a radius type turn and continuing out of sight. I've been watching the skies for 40+ years and never saw anything like this.

I managed to video tape a strange black object on my way home from work. I live near an airport and see airplanes fly overhead all the time. This was no airplane, it moved slow as if it were surveying the area. By the time I could pull over to get a good shot, it was way in the distance. It was hard to define its shape, but it was dark in color.

I saw a small golden/orange orb when I was on a walk. It was behaving unlike any normal aircraft. The way it arced through the sky and faded in and out of sight I knew exactly what I was seeing. I have actually reported Ufos on this site the last two years matching this exact description. I noticed a couple post within the last couple weeks matching this description in my general area. After I quickly realized what I was seeing I said to myself here comes the jets, and sure enough within a couple seconds I heard a jet going in the direction it disappeared to.

Fast moving, large, bright light low in the sky from East to West. Definitely Not a plane or satellite. The light suddenly vanished without a trace. After a minute, a long, narrow cigar-shaped cloud appeared in the same place. It looked like a con-trail from an airplane, but it was much shorter and there were no lights. It continued West, but moved up and down in a random pattern as it moved quickly across the sky- I've never seen a plane move in such a way. It also kept fading in and out- sometimes appearing substantial and sometimes appearing to be just a cloud in a cloudless sky. Then it vanished, too.

Between 9:30-10:00 PM there was a VERY bright light with a smaller light on each side above cloud level in the West by NW. It did not move but went on and off about every two minutes. Lights were above cloud level close to but not in regular flight paths into Philadelphia International Airport. It was not a airplane and did not have red or green nav. lights. Bright enough that many must have seen. I just spoke to a neighbor who also saw the same BRIGHT light in same part of the sky last night 5/11/15

As quickly as I saw the ball it was gone. I am a professional truck driver and have been driving for nearly five years. I have never seen anything like what I saw that evening.

My mother, a friend and myself were sitting on the front porch enjoying the evening. At approximately 22:40 we noticed a pulsating orange and yellow sphere traveling what we believe to be SE to NE. At first we thought it was a plane with its collision lights on but as it got closer I knew that the light was not white but orange. There were no blinking red and green lights and the light did not diminish in intensity until after it had traveled several miles past our location. There were no apparent sounds from a jet engine or props, just quiet, even though it appeared to be less than a mile away. We thought it may have been a military chopper but it would have had to been flying extremely quiet. Then we noticed a second light on the SE horizon heading our direction. We were discussing whether the object had circled when we noticed several more appearing from the same direction. I then went in to the house to grab my cell phone to take some photos and get my wife to come out to look at what we were seeing. Within the next 20 minutes we observed approximately 36 of these lights all the about the same size, with the same color characteristics, flying the same direction from the same area as the others appeared, with no noise and eventually going dark at about 3 to 5 miles from our location. Their speed was slow almost to the point of what I would call floating but definitely moving faster than a balloon but slower than a helicopter. At several times we had 6 to 8 objects in clear view and several times it appeared as though they were flying in V shaped formations. There was one instance when it looked as though 2 objects were going to collide and at the last second they both changed direction to avoid collision. The objects did not have any distinct markings or defined edges. As they pulsated they appeared as almost opaque. At first we thought possibly the military was doing maneuvers since it was Friday night but then we became more skeptical as to what these lights were. I talked with a neighbor about ten minutes later and he felt it may have been the military flying drones. None of us who witnessed this event quite know what we saw and were in total dismay because we could not come up with a definitive answer as to what the objects were or why they were in the area. I have photos on my cell phone but to the naked eye they appear as small dots in the dark sky and I was unable to see as much as I did with the naked eye so they were no help. However if you want to see them I will supply them upon request. I have been looking to see if anyone else had the occurrence for the same area and time

It was one blue and one red slow flashing lights like the landing lights of a plane However these cast a purplish glow around an unknown object that displayed these two lights The lights reminded me of new led style lights because the color was cold not warm There was no sound and it moved slowely from east to west and must gave been visible over allentown pa I took my eyes off of it to get into my car and when i got to a clearing it was gone Wondering if anyone else reported similar colors Definitly not green and red but blue and red because it gave a purple haze

We saw a red orb going in a straight line across the sky. It moved slower than an airplane and maintains a solid red color without any flashes or any other colors. There was no audible sound from the object. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

3 objects in the western sky hovering. 1 looked as to land another joined it while the 3rd hovered in the same spot almost the whole time slowly faded unseen. All 3 objects flashed all different colors. Reminding me of disco balls green, blue, red yellow, white. Seen with naked eye and with binoculars.

I was outside on my front porch smoking. A bright star that looked to be changing color from white to red caught my eye. As I lifted my eyes to look directly at it, a bright white ball of light came out of nowhere and shot down toward toward the ground. It didn't go straight down, rather it kind of arched down. Then before it could hit the ground, or at least right before I'd have lost view of it due to houses, the light just shut off. I got scared and ran into the house. So I don't know if it reappeared or not. I'm writing this report just minutes after this happened. I went straight to the Internet to see if anyone else reported seeing this and to see what a meteor falling looks like. This was not a meteor. I found this website while looking up "bright white light falling from sky" and added my area in the search field. Thank you for this website, I'm grateful I'm able to talk about this to someone without feeling or being called crazy.
