A Pennsylvania witness at Lehighton reported watching "a very large triangle" with three bright, white lights about 30 feet above the trees pass overhead, according to January 17, 2013, testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was outside burning trash about 6:30 p.m. on January 9, 2013, when the object was first seen.
"As I turned to go back inside a very large triangle appeared from behind my home and passed directly over my head," the witness stated. "There were three extremely bright, white lights at each corner which strobed simultaneously and lit up the tree tops. The vehicle was no more than 30 feet above the trees (roughly 100 feet above my head) and made no sound at all."
The object was slow moving.
"I watched as it slowly drifted in a southerly direction for roughly two minutes as it could clearly be seen due to the extreme brightness of the lights. It seemed to stay just above the trees as it drifted away. It did not move quickly or make any sudden movements. I lost sight of it due to there being too many trees in my view."
No images or videos were included with the MUFON report, which was filed on January 17, 2013. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Lehighton is a borough in Carbon County, PA, population 5,537.

January 9, 2013, 6:30 p.m., Lehighton, Carbon County, PA - solid triangle extremely bright strobing lights on corners passed directly over me and i watched it drift to the south. Case 45275.
i went outside around 6 or 6:30 to burn trash, as i turned to go back inside a very large triangle appeared from behind my home and passed directly over my head. There were three extremely bright white lights at each corner which strobed simultaneously and lit up the tree tops. the vehicle was no more than 30 feet above the trees (roughly 100 feet above my head) and made no sound at all. I watched as it slowly drifted in a southerly direction for roughly two minutes as it could clearly be seen due to the extreme brightness of the lights. It seemed to stay just above the trees as it drifted away. It did not move quickly or make any sudden movements. I lost sight of it due to there being too many trees in my view. I can not say it was a spaceship or a government drone test or any type of flying craft i have ever seen and i am left with nothing but questions. What i do know is that i will never leave my home without a camera again, even to just take out the trash.
