On, July 4, 2014, 830 PM EST, while sitting in the parking lot at South Hills Village Mall, Pittsburgh, PA, sky still light, my grandson noticed a 'big plane'. We didn't pay attention until he said, 'look, it's on fire'. We turned and saw this tubular image with a red tail of light soar across the sky at a slow rate. My daughter was already holding the camera and took the footage. It moved upward than SW at a steady speed, never dropping until it cleared from sight.

I spotted an egg shaped object, with flashing red/orange lights over VF outlet! I thought it was a helicopter flying over to the hospital but the speed of this object and flashy lights caught my attention!! I was exiting mcdonalds parking lot when I witnessed it. It clearly evaporated into thin air-- I thought I was going crazy!! I drove over to the hospital and there we're no sign of a chopper and sound of one.. I am firm believer--Had to experience it - in order to believe it! We wonder whether the sighting might have been at night, instead of during the morning. PD

I was outside taking the garbage out at 11. I looked up And these 2 aircraft started going in a circle motion around each other. They were bright red. Then they collided really fast. The one stood in place while the other one flew slowly away as it got closer i could see more than one color. It was too high up and dark to see it clearly but I would say it was a triangle. There were orange red and yellow lights on the tips. It then disappeared. I was in shock

North Versailles, PA
3 objects observed tonight. 2 heading west and 1 north-west. Started out as a white light (like a star). Moved steadily as they changed to a burnt red color until they just fade out. Only saw one at a time for under a minute each. This was over a period of about ½ hour starting at about 22:15.

Palmyra, PA
The single UFO was at first in a straight line from left to right blinking and flying across my window. Thinking it was a plane and it was 3:30 AM, I decided I would just close my eyes and go to bed. Of course I had to keep watching it until it flew away, though. Right after the object disappeared, it came from right to left as it's single light stayed on. It flew around in circles for a bit then left the scene. Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD

I'm an architect that works very late in the evening. Around 2:30 AM I went outside for a cigarette and noticed a round shape orb that was quickly moving in different directions in the sky, way too fast to be an aircraft; so I ran in the house and grab my binoculars ... it sometimes hovered like a bee and then moved in an extremely fast motion.... After watching it for approximately 15 minutes I woke my girlfriend and asked her to see it as well. So off the second floor balcony we watched it for approximately 45 minutes more. While I watched it with the binoculars (looking northwest), I saw at times it moved vertically, horizontally and even in a circular motion at times, but for the most part it would stay in a fixed position for approximately 5 minutes and then move sporadically in all different directions until it fixed itself onto its next spot. The object had a red & green lights and at times appeared to have white electrical bolts of circular lightning on the surface of the orb. The red light seemed to rotate in a circular position sometimes skipping one of the circular quadrants. We watch the orbs in the sky and then I noticed a few more of the same types of objects that had the same characteristics but were higher in altitude. The sky became darker as the time progressed but the initial orb was always in the clear area of the sky. I then went on my computer to see a satellite image of what was located northwest from my vantage point and found a huge number windmills off a network of roads, kind of like grapes on a vine... covering multiple ridge-tops. What spooks me out is that the orb distance and angle of movement leads me to believe they were sucking the power out of the windmills. With or without the binoculars one could see the orbs move and defy any normal kind of aircraft movement. In the binoculars it was obvious how fast they changed direction vertically, horizontally and also in circular movement. We took turns looking at the orb and when I was waiting my tu! rn to get the binoculars back I noticed several more orbs of light... I counted a total of four similar red & green lit orbs.... WOW what a night, I would have never believed it until I experienced for myself! Like I said I'm an architect and have a great deal of precision in drawing lines and angles...my conclusion is that they were hovering over a field of windmills like bees hovering over flowers. Also, I saw on several occasions, both white haze beams and also a sharp bolts of lightning come from the orb. One more thing we also even experienced a shooting star about midway through the sighting! There you go I got to get back to work.....

my daughter and I, she was at least 5 or 6 years old. my memory of the date and time are around about. happen some time ago and I remember it was while she was out of school . she was interested in the stars, we had brought a small telescope. we where just standing next to our garage, that is connected to our house. we where staring at a bright star, that seemed close and seemed brighter then the north star. we stared for a min and the star just went from zero to gone in less then 5 seconds. never really talked about except with wife, who brushed aside. been wanting to share ever since .

Observed 2 orange objects in the sky over my car while driving home from work. After making a turn onto another road, I observed 2 more orange objects for a total of 4 objects.I pulled off the road to watch the objects which seemed to be traveling in pairs, but traveling the same route. The first 2 objects I saw were closer and appeared to be translucent. Continued watching until objects were no longer visible. I did get a picture of 2 of the objects on my cell phone..

While taking in a dip in the pool with two others, I noticed this blackened object just beneath the cloud ceiling. Traveling completely slient, the object moved eastward and appeared to maintain a constant fast speed across the sky, while tumbling end over end. I reached out to my friends to observe this object. Each of us were stumped, for it did not resemble any object we have ever seen.

Ridgway, PA
I watched an orange orb in the sky, traveling slowly north toward Johnsonburg from downtown Ridgway, Pa. Object was not blinking, was not moving erratically, and "bobbled" slightly. Got in my car to get gas, travelled in the same direction as the orb and it was no longer visible in under a minute's time.

Philadelphia, PA
From balcony, noticed a bright light for a split second that seemed very high in the night sky. Seconds after we noticed multiple flashes of light that seemed to come from the ground up (over a distance) maybe in New Jersey. I am in Philadelphia but can see across Delaware river. No booms or smoke and and seemed like a massive strobe. Have seen this a couple times before but never really paid much attention. Other people I have talked to have seen same flashes. Very bizarre.

Midway, PA
I saw what looked like a fireball coming out of the northeast. It was very quiet and looked to be about 4,000 feet in the sky. Make no sound what so ever. It was headed southwest.I saw it about 12 miles from the Pittsburgh airport. After it passed me and got a few miles away the light faded out.the light looked to be in the front of the flying object. It was a red orangish fireball type light. It was followed up by 2 more flying objects. They all were a minute apart and about the same elevation and same light and following the same flight path. A few days earlier there was 5 of these things flying over the same area a flight path and same lights.

Orange colored balls flying in formation no sound traveling slow. Looked like one went out of formation then corrected itself back into formation. They came in groups of about 8 or 10 at a time.

Phoenixville, PA
Saturday evening at just after midnight, an object was seen hovering over Phoenixville, PA. The object hovered, moved forward and moved backwards. It did not turn around, but reversed directions, the movements were small as the object stayed in the same area of the sky. It had 3 large red lights, 1 white light and a green light appeared a couple of times. It stayed in the area for about 5 minutes before deciding to move away in a southern direction and disappearing. We have amended the date above. Saturday night at midnight would be Sunday morning, which is June 22nd. PD

Bensalem, PA
Approximately 2300 On 21 June, 2014, I was standing in the parking lot of my residence, looking south toward Philadelphia. City line is about 3 miles from me. My home is about 300 yards from the Delaware river. I noticed some very odd, orange, vaguely flickering lights, traveling roughly SE to NW. They appeared to be between 500 to 1,000 feet above me moving at about the speed a small, single engine private airplane might be at cruise. They made no sound that I could hear, and that area is relatively quiet at that time on a Saturday night. They were not equadistant from each other, and some would fall back, then catch up with the one in front again. Gaps in the line of objects were not constant, and there were even some stragglers way in back of the main 7 or 8 objects. I watched untill I could no longer see them because of the buildings and trees nearby. The weather was very clear and cool, I would say near 70 degrees. Maybe a light breeze. A man driving by had stopped to ask directions had also seen them, and remarked that they looked like "Chinese lanterns." I thought that these things appeared to be operated by something other than a candle and hot air. They were acting like they were being piloted.

I was driving with my friend on I-95 south heading to Bensalem,PA and we saw these bright red/orange orb-like lights in the sky lined up moving very slow, and more started to appear everywhere, I remember counting how many there were and at one point there were probably 25-30 of these lights. After about ten mins they just disappeared and when we were heading back home, they appeared again but this time there was 7 of these same lights but closer and bigger and brighter, moving at the same pace in a straight line above us and lasted about 15 mins and just disappeared,, it was wild...

We noticed it appeared out of nowhere. We didn't hear any engines or normal hum of a helicopter or prop plane. The orb grew closer and brighter and began to hover. It moved from left to right. The orb headed towards us moving north. It then traveled back towards the south and appeared to dart upwards. It grew dimmer. As it grew dimmer, a second orange orb appeared behind it. The orbs then just disappeared. Please review our video. We would like some sort of logical explanation or confirm our sighting of a UFO Thanks!!

Driving East on route 30 reaching a light. I noticed a sparkle and or reflection of sun in the sky and started to stare and noticed an oval shaped (zeppelin shape in comparison) silverish mirror like material hovering or floating in the sky. The object was very still. Then it seemed or started to turn in a different direction. Because I noticed the shape changing. Then it just seemed to vanish like magic. All this in about 2-3 minutes.

The object was first observed sometime between 1am and 2am on Friday June 20th, 2014, (I know this was the time because we were waiting on the moonrise which I knew should be shortly) from campsite #4 in Bald Eagle State Forest by both myself and my girlfriend. The object was a constantly illuminated white-colored orb (spherical), which was about the brightness and size of the planet Jupiter when viewed in the night sky with the naked eye, and which traversed the sky from southwest to northeast at about the same pace as a commercial airliner would be moving, possibly faster. It was initially moving in a straight line, but then began to disappear beneath the visible horizon while making a zigzagging motion, much like a falling leaf. The object made no sound. The object then reappeared in the north about ten minutes after the initial sighting in the exact same or approximate location as the North Star. We did not realize at the time that this object was sighted in that particular location until the following days when a stationary star was spotted in the same locale, which was obviously the North Star. Our best guess is that either we did not see the North Star during phenomenon, or the phenomenon itself made the North Star appear to be moving. When spotted the second time, in the north, the object moved in circles, then right for a small distance, then it stopped, moved left and up and down, and so on in the same approximate vicinity for at least twenty minutes as it was observed by both myself and my girlfriend who was standing directly behind my shoulder. It would move quickly and then stop or pause before moving again. The object changed colors from white to red to blue and then back to white during the entire second sighting. The object made no sound and eventually ceased moving sometime after we could no longer watch it because our necks were getting rather stiff. NOTE: Movements of the object reminded me of a sighting of lights on Little Mountain seen by both Dad and myself on the exact same night 4 years ago, which was reported to Stan Gordon.

3 Orangish-red orbs in a triangle with a 4th orb of the same color "behind" and to the right of the triangle formation. Moving slowly, if at all, more like hovering still. Then vanished. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
