Three silent discs, all the same size, moving slowly and then speeding up and disappearing into an unusual cloud.

This is my second sighting; the first involved one object of the same size and shape that was also near a cloud. This recent sighting involved three identical discs moving slowly; each object’s speed and path were both slightly varied (not synchronized), and they then disappeared behind a cloud. They appeared to change brightness and hue though I believe they were reflecting the setting sun and portions of the nearby cloud. The cloud was stationary for longer than I would have expected and there were no other clouds in the sky.

I never heard back from my initial submission, conducted my own research, and felt the most plausible explanation was a very small lenticular cloud. If lenticular clouds are known to move in different directions, then this may still be a plausible explanation (since the land is mountainous).

I hold a PhD from the University of Texas at Austin and currently split my time between work in the DC area and my home in Pennsylvania (where the sightings occurred). I do not wear glasses or have eye issues. I’m sharing one photo of the earlier sighting, one of the recent sighting, (at sunset), and a photo of the cloud the three recent objects disappeared into.
