Initial data
Over a three-hour period, several witnesses observed 42 objects with flashing lights. The observations took place over a small lake-side settlement located in Eastern Pennsylvania, near the new Jersey border.
At least a dozen witnesses, including a state trooper, observed objects passing over the lake, with one witness counting 39 objects before the evening ended.
Trooper Jeffrey Honz, who was sent to the city to investigate, said he watched four objects pass over the lake from West to East.
"But don't ask me what it was,"he said," it was like a Christmas tree flying in the air."
The objects were flying at an altitude of 1,500 feet, he said. Most of them had white lights, Honz said, but others had red or blue lights.
MS Howard Pfeiffer said she and 11 other residents saw 39 objects - some groups crossing the lake at 15-minute intervals between 19: 25 and 22: 45.
She said the round objects were the size of a"children's pool." Mrs. Pfeiffer, one of the main witnesses, refutes the theory put forward by some that the objects are planes.
"The first one came so close that I felt like I could reach it," she said. "There was no noise, no sparks, nothing. I know it wasn't a plane, a balloon, or a helicopter."

Summary: There were 42 objects with flashing lights observed by multiple witnesses during a three-hour period. The sightings occurred over a small lake-side community located in eastern Pennsylvania, near the New Jersey border. At least a dozen witnesses, including a state trooper, observed the objects passing over the lake, with one witness counting 39 objects before the evening ended. Trooper Jeffery Hontz, sent to the town to investigate, said he observed four objects pass over the lake from west to east. “‘But don’t ask me what they were,” he said, “it was like a Christmas tree flying in the air.” The objects, he said were flying at an altitude of 1,500 feet. Most had white lights, said Hontz, but others had red or blue lights. Mrs. Howard Pfeiffer said she and 11 other residents saw 39 objects — some in groups pass over the lake at 15-minute intervals between 7:25 p.m. and 10:45 p.m. She said the round objects were about the size of a “child’s wading pool”. Mrs. Pfeiffer, one of the major witnesses, discounted the theory put forth by some that the objects were planes. “The first one came so close I felt I could reach up and touch it,” she said. “There was no noise, no sparks, or anything. I know it wasn’t any plane or balloon or helicopter.”
