Orange UFOs Over Pennsylvania – July 4th 2009 Update
At 8:22 PM PDT or 11:22 PM in Pennsylvania, an Orange Ball of Light (ORBL) sighting was posted in the comments of an existing WhalesInSpace.com post.
30 or so orange lights seen over Bethlehem Pennsylvania, described as flying in a formation like the constellation Pegasus.
The comment was moved to its own post and received multiple comments of others who had seen the UFOs.
A quick check of the UFOStalker.com site brings up Event ID 17791, a sighting of 15-20 lights, again reported as flying in a formation. The report sites Bethlehem Pennsylvania as the location of the sighting and includes an image of the formation that the lights were flying in.
We were driving home after our local fireworks display. I looked to the northeast of our vehicle and saw what looked like light rising into the air. After a little while it became obvious that they weren’t rising, but moving. There were about 15-20 lights in the sky flying in a loose formation from north to south. There was a main group and a smaller group further behind of about 5 lights. Many people were pulling over to view the lights. One woman in the car next to us asked us what they were. I kept thinking that they were most likely aircraft. But they were flying low in a very loose formation with bright lights on, which seemed odd to me. It is certainly something I’ve never seen before. We lost sight of the lights when they continued south and were too far away to continue viewing.
Additional reports of orange lights were sighted over Almyra PA (Event ID 17792), Ellwood City PA (Event ID 17793), Hanover Township PA (Event ID 17795), and Lafayette Indiana (Event ID 17794).
The orange lights didn’t stop there. More sightings from Seaside California, Spring Valley California, Barstow California, and Federal Way Washington.
Will July 4th 2009 be remembered as the night the Orange Ball of Light (ORBL) sightings that have been filling British skies in recent months finally arrived in the United States?

I was in long island Ny last night and my cousins and 50 other people saw the exact same thing. A very fast object with rocket speed. It had no sound to it so it was not a plane nor was it a firework. It stopped literally stopped in mid air for 5 secs in front of the moon glowing red and orange and the shadow showed the object was circular. It then took off outta site.
I would like to add that there was a definite sighting here in eastern switzerland yesterday, July 4th, at around 22:30 local time.
At first there was at first a strong clear yellow light, smaller than a full moon, followed by more. At the end there were probably more than 12. They moved in a straight line, but one abruptly stopped in the middle of the sky. The whole event lasted about 2-3 minutes.
It should be noted that they appeared to be moving from the South-West to the North-East, towards Germany.
The neighboors saw the same, although there was no mention of anything in the news.
Anybody know what this was?
I was in Bali on July 4th and saw 12 or more Orange lights high up in the sky……I witnessed them for between 3-4 minutes untill they just dissappeard…….
Also in Bay City MI fireworks show. Orange ball of light seen. If you youtube it you will see they were all over MI july 4th.
We were standing in the backyard watching fireworks when we saw 8 – 10 balls of orange lights with prongs sticking out, almost shaped like ceiling fans. They were flying in perfect precision with exact distances between them. The were flying from north to south.
I was in Patchogue NY (Long Island) and me and about 20 other people saw the same thing. we saw about 20-30 of them. im not sure if they were in the formation of pegasus as i was not paying attention to the pattern rather the fact i had never seen anything like that before.
i live in pa my friend and i both saw the orangeish color lights.
We saw these too! My husband and kids went to a pro fireworks show about 20 miles from our lake cabin, and when they got home, they started telling me they saw these 3 “glowing/burning UFOs” that were not fireworks, and were moving together, totally silent, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. I didn’t really believe them, but then they looked out the window and yelled “there they are!!”. We all went outside, and there were 2 of the glowing/burning round lights, moving together, no sound at all. They seemed to move slow for a long time, then suddenly they went SUPER far away in just a matter of about 2 seconds, then disappeared from sight. I’ve been reading accounts all evening, and seeing Youtube videos from all over the world, of the same thing!!

scroll down a little and watch the video lol
Chinese lanterns over PA, Washington State, California, Patchogue and Long Island NY, Bay City MI, Eastern Switzerland, and Bali?
No way.
I saw one on the night of July 4th, 2009. Chicago, IL a little after 10pm. Saw an orange glowing fireball moving in a linear patter from east to west for about 2 minutes till I lost sight of it. I thought it was part of a firework that was still lit and burning in the sky, but it never fell, never dimmed and kept moving. I thought it was strange, but thought nothing of it until I started seeing everyone else reporting the same thing! Very strange!!!
We saw the same thing on Long Island, New York as Otilia in Chicago. I emailed someone at amsmeteors.org and he said definately not a meteor, maybe a satelite or spent rocket booster. Now I am freaked out knowing this happened all over the country!
Between 9 and 10 PM, I saw a single object in the sky to the east of Hellertown. I thought it was the remanent of a firework or a signal flare. It appeared to be a light colored square with a flickering orange light underneath. I thought it was a small parachute with the burning remanent of a firework or flare underneath. It was moving from west to east at a steady speed, but didn’t seem to be descending. It must have been much higher than I first thought, as I lost sight of it as it moved above some clouds near the moon.
last night, july 7th 2009, i was sitting on my friends back porch by the pool admiring the full moon. it was such a weird night. the moon was incredibly bright and i could see NO stars. Faintly, i was able to see a few random ones here and there. But to the east of where i saw the moon, was a very, VERY bright light in the sky. this thing stuck out big time. i didnt understand why this “star” or light was so damn bright, yet I could barely see any other stars whatsoever. I watched it for nearly two hours and saw the light DEF move. It was a slow pace but looked more like it was very stable in its hovering. I knew for sure it was moving my chair up from under the balcony to see it. About an hour and a half later the clouds came in and I couldnt see it any longer. Obviously it was about the clouds but it looked so mysterious. like it was being controlled. a star? were my eyes playing tricks on me? i dunno…it was so bright though. bright like an orange flare but stable like a star with mobility. interesting night. i believe
Im sorry, my friends house is in Maitland, FL. RIght outside Orlando.
Approximately 10pm on July 4th, I saw an orange, glowing ‘object’ traveling North to South at a slow rate of speed. The light eminating from this orb was totally different than any lights I’ve ever seen on any aircraft. Interesting thing about this entire event is that no local media have picked up on it. Wonder why ? ( Or better yet – why not ? ! ? ). Sending this from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
I was in Philly that night, waiting for late fireworks downtown, and saw two lights moving rapidly but at fluctuating speeds from North to South. It almost looked as if the second light was playfully chasing the first one–nearly catching up and then falling back. Sighting lasted about 30 seconds. This was right about 10PM.
My mom and I saw a single bright orange/red light in the sky, we watched for about 5 mins and it faded away, could this have been the same thing?
My boyfriend and I were driving home in kansas city, MO after watching all the firework displays on the 4th of July. On the way we started discussing the cluster of orange orbs I witnessed over westport on january 17th 2009. As I was trying to describe to him the odd luminescence which the fireballs emitted I pointed out an orange glow in the sky to suggest that it resembled what I saw. Then I slowed the car and realized it was exactly like the orbs I saw in January (only there was one of them on july 4th and maybe 10 in january). We stopped and got out of the car to get a better look and watched this thing move southward under the clouds for a few minutes before it went up and disappeared from sight.
I live in kansas city as well and me and a group of people saw 4 orange lights flying in formation close to KCI. There were 3 lights close to each other and the 4th was alittle behind the others. They all vanished at almost the exact same spot in the sky. Never seen anything like that in my life. They were not aircraft thats for sure and they were glowing an orangish yellow light. No blinking once so ever.
Concerning the orange fireballs over PA during the 4th of July week 2009. I know a person who saw a large silver shaped disk/ball which went ethereal (from view to invisible) but he never reported it. He along with a teenager and young kid on a swing in a playground saw it in right before the 4th of July.
He explained to me it was traveling west towards Clearfield County. He also said it reminded him of the silver mercury filament you find in a thermostat as it was solid then liquid in shape and was larger than a 747 airliner. It was traveling high and westward near sunset he said.
Go figure I normally can trust him but this is to bizarre…
i have also witnessed the sightings of these orange lights. it was on november 7th 2009 at around 8pm GMT. This was in bromley kent united kingdom.
i was driving to the shop with my dad and i was looking at the sky to see the fireworks when i saw a orange bright light in the sky i was waiting for it to burst into a firework like most fireworks do but this didn’t. I then saw around 6 of them all grouped together but they was 1 in front and the rest were following they were flying in one direction which was north it was faster than a plane. My dad is sceptic and he even couldn’t believe what he saw we stopped the car to look and then they just disappeared. People who say these are chinese lanterns are seriously insulting my intelligence. I believe that what i saw was definitly a ufo it was not a firework neither was it a plane.
i saw a orange light in cape coral flordia the collor was like the coller of the sun but it was at 9 33 at night
