Did You See UFOs in Allentown on Sunday?

Three UFOs reported over Sam's Club on Airport Road Sunday evening

 

A report of possible UFOs above Sam's Club on Airport Road in Allentown on Sunday evening has been filed with the Mutual UFO Network, known as MUFON.

Patch contributor and retired teacher John Royer is a member of MUFON and has offered 10 tips on what to do if you see an unidentified flying object.

A detailed MUFON report on the Allentown Sam's Club incident says shoppers saw three objects traveling through the sky around 5:15 p.m. One man said his 9-year-old daughter was scared as the family observed orange-red flames at the bottom center of the objects.

He wrote that he first thought they might hot air balloons "but I could not see any gondola below the flames, and the flames seemed to go downward instead of upward. They were also moving much too fast to be balloons."

The flames "started going on and off" as the object got closer, he added.

"When the flame was out, they appeared to look almost transparent grey-whitish in color. As they passed by, the second object moved closer to the first object, while the third object kept the same distance from the first. Then all flames stopped, and stayed out for the rest of the sighting," he wrote. 

The Lehigh County Communications Center received no calls about the UFOs, according to a Morning Call report.

I didn't see this one, but last June I (and may others) did, in Emmaus. 5 or 6 bright orange tear shaped lights hovering way up high in the sky. Slighting shooting from side to side and eventually each one started to flicker and shot straight up and eventually disappear into the black sky. One by one this would happen until there was one single one left, then poof, gone!

Pamela lol, no that wasn't what we saw...these were huge! and perfectly formed I so wish I would have had a camera handy!! They were in the direction of St. Ann's church, so it's the opposite direction from the L C C. The day would have been June 4th, I know this because we just got through celebrating a friends birthday.

This article really sparked my interest....On Sunday night, around 5:50pm, I was driving down the turnpike, South just past Quakertown, and saw a light up in the sky moving VERY fast and disappear into the clouds. I actually thought it may be a shooting star but it was too close for that.....then I thought it might be one of those "grand opening" beam lights but I never saw it again. Really interesting!!!

My fiancee and I witnessed a very similar phenomenon on the night of Oct 15th this year in Emmaus. The Haloween parade had ended a few minutes ago and we were heaed back to our car. At first I thought they were hot air baloons because they had a distinct look of flame. I then reconsidered because I didn't think hot air baloons fly after dark. The three objects maintained their distance from each other in a triangle as they moved silently from west to east. The whole experience lasted only a couple of minutes as they disappeared above the patchy cloud cover.

Adam, the 5 or 6 we saw last June were positioned in a triangle stacked sort of pattern, evenly spaced from each other. But every so often they would shift very quickly from side to side, and not in unison, each one was separate. Just so strange!

They always do an aerial display at night.
ET is a showoff with no manners.
If they had any manners they would land for coffee and doughnuts and have a chat.

I have listened to more people open up to me about UFO sightings or what they thought were UFO sightings. I humbly thank them for being trusting enough to talk to me and I will keep their confidence. I may be doing a UFO presentation at the Bethlehem Library in October if all goes well. I was happy to accept their request to do a presentation at my home city and I hope to see many of my old neighbors there.
Watch the skies, especially if this is true:
