Duration: 15 minutes

Location: Allentown, PA, USA

Shape: Teardrop
Characteristics: Left a trail, Aircraft nearby

3 small objects, very high in the sky, flying very close together and performing different maneuvers.

As I was driving to work Monday afternoon, I happened to glance into the sky. I wasn't wearing my sunglasses, but instead my driving glasses. The sky was clear when I noted 3 very small objects leaving small -what appeared to be-jet streams behind them. What really caught my attention was they were almost like "hanging" midair and very high in the sky.

Then each would move in a different direction, doing loops and turns. I first thought it may be an air show somewhere in the distance. I was driving west on Route 22, and continued watching when it looked like a larger jet was coming from my left toward the objects and then lost sight of them. It was very interesting, I described them as tear drops simply because they were so tiny and left the trail when they maneuvered in the shape of a small tear.
