A Pennsylvania witness reports watching a triangle-shaped object with a "low airplane sound" that dropped to within 10 feet of a neighbor's rooftop at 4:39 a.m. on January 4, 2012, and quickly disappeared from view, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness oddly reports that while the outside temperature was 15 degrees, it felt strangely warm during the sighting despite having no hat or gloves on.
The witness originally stepped outside in search of a neighbor who he had planned an early morning hunting trip with. The witness realized the low temperature, but felt warm - and then the object was first noticed.
"I noticed lights appearing from up the street approaching from behind the houses on my side of the street," the witness stated. "As the lights were getting closer, I noticed the craft was descending. At the first instant, I thought it was a plane, but I realized I didn't hear any noise - so I figured the engines did not work and it was about to crash. But as soon as it got directly across the street from my house, I heard a low airplane sound normally like you'll hear when they're real high. But this thing was just above roof about 10 feet."
The witness described the craft.
"There was a white light in front like it would have been landing gear lights or something. Then it was two white wing lights - one on each side. I didn't really focus on the look of the object because, like I said, I thought it was a plane about to crash."
The witness thought the object was going to crash and walked out into the street and moved toward the object - but at the top of the street he realized the object was gone. But the witness was somewhat disoriented.
"Now I was standing in the middle of Lancaster Avenue. That's a busy street and when I walked in the street I was so fixated on trying to relocate the object I didn't even look for cars coming. I just walked in the street looking up and around. Now the strangest thing was that I stayed outside on the steps so I could tell my friend what I saw and I was outside until 5:30 a.m. Now I was outside in 15 degree weather with no hat or gloves on and I was not cold. I get cold very easily and I was out there for an hour and it didn't bother me."
The witness speculates.
"There's no reason for military flights to be flying over my neighborhood. And also it was traveling so slow that if it was a plane with no engine running, it would have dropped out the sky like a rock. The person I was going hunting with was awake and he didn't hear anything - so if it was a plane or helicopter, he would have heard it."

We recently reported on a similar triangle UFO report in Pennsylvania from January 3, 2012: Pennsylvania witness wonders if low flying UFO was government built. Most witnesses report triangles as completely silent; and witnesses in both of these cases report some sound.
Pennsylvania is a current UFO ALERT 3 rating, with a high number of UFO sightings nationally. Pennsylvania had 40 reports in December, the 3rd highest reporting state - while California had 63 reports in December 2011 - the highest reporting state in the nation.

The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Pennsylvania MUFON State Director John Ventre investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
PA, January 4, 2012 - three white lights in triangle formation silent until 75 feet away descending at slow speeds towards no airport or open fields then it vanished. MUFON Case 34605.
I was preparing myself to go hunting the morning of january 4th 2012. I walked outside to see if my hunting buddy was ready to go we was'nt sure if we were going because of how cold it was going to be. He is my neighbor directly next door. I stood on my front steps drinking my coffee and smoking a cigarette. I looked through his front door to see if i see him but his lights were off so i figured he wasn't ready yet so i decided to stay outside and wait for him. I strangly noticed how warm it was out when the temperature was around 15 degress farenheit and i did'nt have a hat or gloves on. i proceeded to sit on my railing on my front patio for about a minute or two. I stood back up then walk over two the front of my door just standing there drinking my coffee and smoking my cigarette. At about 4:39 a.m. i noticed lights appearing from up the street approaching from behind the houses on my side of the street. As the light were getting closer i noticed the craft was descending at the first instant i though it was a plane but i realised i did'nt hear any noise so i figured the the engines did not work and it was about to crash but as soon as it got directly across the street from my house i heard a low airplane sound normally like you'll hear when there real high but this thing was just above roof about 10 feet there was a white light in front like it would have been landing gear lights or something than it was two white wing lights one on each side i did'nt really focus on the look of the object because like i said i thought it was a plane about to crash and it did not register to me the characteristics of hand so i walk to the corner of my street in the same path it was traveling to see because like i said i thought it was going to crash and the way it was traveling there's no airport in that direction especially that close for it to be descending that low so when i got top the top of the block it was gone. Now i was standing in the middle of lancaster ave that's a busy street and when i walked in the street i was so fixaded on trying to relocate the object i didnt even look for cars coming i just walked in the street looking up and around. Now the strangest thing was that i stayed outside on the steps so i could tell my friend what i saw and i was outside until 5:30 a.m. now i was outside in 15 degree weather with no hat or gloves on and i was not cold i get cold very easily and i was out there for an hour and i did'nt bother me after i went in the house i came back out to talk to my friend at 6:30 a.m. before he took his daughter to catch the bus for school and be out there for two minutes i was freezing i needed gloves and a hat. I never thought i would see one but i know what i saw and it wasn't no airplane or helicopter no blimp ballons nothing of that nature i live in the ghetto and theres no reason for military flights to be flying over my neighborhood and also it was traveling so slow that if it was a plane with no engine running it would have dropped out the sky like a rock. the person i was going hunting with was awake and he didnt hear anything so if it was a plane or helicopter he would have heard it.
