It was a Sunday evening around 8:00 pm. I was leaving from the side entrance of Pathmark grocery store on Hanover Ave and was stopped at the red light. I noticed a silver saucer hovering above the row homes to my left. It may have been about 150 ft above me. There was no sound or air movement coming from the craft. There were little squares that may have been windows going around the top part of the craft. I saw no lights. I got the attention of the man in the car aside of me and pointed to the craft, he was surprised. The light changed and I made a left on Hanover Ave still in view of the craft and darted into the gas station where there was a group of people gathered. I asked them if they could tell me what that thing was as I pointed to. They were shocked. I quick left to follow it as it floated very slowly above Hanover Ave. I flashed my lights to on coming cars to get them to look up. I followed the craft till it got to Dorney Park. It was floating over the park for about 5 minutes when all of a sudden it dropped and then shot up in the sky and was gone. I drove around looking for it but had no luck. I called the ABE Airport to see if they knew what it was and they didn't. They gave me a number to report it to in Washington. I called and filed a report at that time. I recently research the files and didn't find my report. I purposely stopped people on the street so that in the future I wouldn't question the incident. I was very close to the craft and couldn't believe how quiet it was and the fact there was no wind or air being emitted.
