My husband and I were heading north on rt. 62 between Hubbard, OH and Sharon, PA.. As we were nearing Sharon, PA, I noticed a large white round light off to the east, over the areas of Sharon and Wheatland PA. The object was about the size of a dime held at an arm's length. The weather was cloudy, the temperature was 30 degrees. It was dry at the time. The object moved slowly towards the southeast. It changes color from white to yellow, then yellow to orange-red, then back to a pale yellow. It hovered motionless by a set of radio towers for Y-103 FM radio station for approx. 2 minutes. The object then became two round white lights with a red small light in the middle, and began to move west closer to us, over the state line and into Masury and Brookfield, OH. It crossed behind us as we drove into the Sharon, PA / Masury, OH area. It continued to move west and descended below treetop level in Brookfield, OH. Several times it showed in the same area on the eastern side of Brookfield, just above the trees, but was a white - to-yellow oval once again. We pulled into our driveway, and the object was gone.
