DAYLIGHT DISCS SPOTTED IN PENNSYLVANIA
UFO ROUNDUP Volume 4 Number 18 August 25, 1999 Editor: Joseph Trainor Masinaigan@aol.com

On Monday, August 16, 1999, at 2:12 p.m., a boy living in Berks County, five miles (8 kilometers) from Reading, Pennsylvania (population 78,380) "ran into the house very excited and described a silver disk that he observed high in the sky."

According to Pennsylvania ufologist Stan Gordon, "The boy was outside watching some birds flying around when his attention was drawn to a silver, disk-shaped object above him and high in the sky. The young man stated that at the bottom of the disk he could see what looked like a figure U that was dark green in color."

"As the boy watched, suddenly the object zoomed off at a high rate of speed towards the south. The witness recalls a low rumble as the object sped out of sight in a matter of seconds."

Reading is approximately 65 miles (104 kilometers) northwest of Philadelphia.

Three hours later, at 5:45 p.m., in Butler County, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh, "a husband and wife (were) relaxing in a swimming pool when...the man noticed in the eastern sky a circular object that appeared to be a dull gray metallic color. The object was high in the sky and quite small when first observed," Gordon reported.

"During the next few minutes, the couple watched. The object moved west toward the direction over Butler (population 15,714). As the object got closer, it became larger, and some detail could be seen. The couple could see that there were actually two round or circular objects that appeared to be joined together side by side, but giving the impression that they were an individual object. The objects were 'like quarters (USA 25-cent coin--J.T.) on edge.' And they appeared thin with little depth."

"As the couple continued to watch, the objects suddenly stopped," Gordon added, "Then made a 90-degree turn towards the north and moved behind a tree, blocking the view of the observers."

The UFOs did not reenter the couple's field of vision. Both witnesses reported, "No sound was heard during the observation." (Many thanks to Stan Gordon for this news story.)
