Duration: 2 hours
No of observers: 2

Location: Freeland, PA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

Several lights in same area for extended period of time with unusual cloud formation present.

I noticed an unusually bright light in the sky directly in my view outside my bedroom window. It was over Sandy Run/White Haven area. I noticed another dimmer light appearing over horizon. I called my son to see this and we stayed and watched over 5 different lights appear and proceed to take on a triangle formation, a half circle, and even a straight line going up to a huge cloud. The cloud was unusual too. It seemed to stay in one spot for over two hours. Also, the cloud seemed to glow slightly from within. The area of the sky where the lights were appearing seemed to glow from underneath. These lights would take cover in the big cloud when airplanes were approaching the area. It was creepy just watching these lights get extremely bright then dim then get bright then dim. I tried to take a picture with my cell phone but it was too dark not enough light. I posted on Facebook asking if anyone else in Freeland was seeing these lights besides us and apparently someone else seen them as well.
