Low flying diamond UFO reported over Pennsylvania town

A Pennsylvania witness at Greensburg reported a "slow flying, diamond-shaped" object with three white and one orange light at its four points and a blinking red light at its center about 6:30 p.m. on January 9, 2013, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was outside on a relative's driveway holding a child when the object was first seen flying directly overhead.

"I observed the object was diamond-shaped, had a white light on three of its points, a blinking red light in the center and the fourth point was glowing orange, as if it were an interior light illuminating the whole point and bright enough to see a distinct diamond solid shape."

The witness continued to watch the object and noticed it was silent.

"It was at the same height of what the local helicopters fly and no noise. I watched it until it went behind the trees and house across the street. It flew low and slow in a straight line to the west towards Jeannette."

January 9, 2013, 6:30 p.m., Greensburg, Westmoreland County, PA - low, slow flying diamond shape. a white light on 3 points 4th point glowed from interior light orange. Case 45118.

Pulled into my mother in laws driveway about 6:30 pm, I got my son out of his car seat and was holding him in my arms. He looked up and said "airplane" I looked up and saw an object flying low directly above us. I said to my mother in law look at that. It looks weird. She said ohyeah it does. We started to walk up her front walk I was behind her and my son and I kept looking up at the object. I stopped and stood still to watch for a moment. I observed the object was diamond shaped, had a white light on 3 of its points a blinking red light in the center and the 4th point was glowing orange, as if it were an interior light illuminating the whole point and bright enough to see a distinct diamond solid shape. I turned to go inside and my mother in law handed me a bag of rock salt for her driveway. It was covered in packed snow/ice. I stopped to watch the object again and realized it was completely quiet. It was at the same height of what the local helicopters fly and no noise. I watched it until it went behind the trees and house across the street. It flew low, and slow in a straight line to the west. Towards Jeanette.
