National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 8/30/2019 19:30 (Entered as : 08/30/2019 7:30 PM) Reported: 6/1/2022 5:02:16 PM 17:02 Posted: 6/22/2022 Location: Stroudsburg, PA Shape: Triangle Duration: 3 minutes Characteristics: There were lights on the object
Black triangle attached to or followed by a smaller black rectangle While pumping gas And filling my tank I was looking around and chanced to look up, noting one large moving black triangle, each point having a small white light. Oddly it also seemed to be followed/attached to a smaller black rectangle. Both were blotting out stars as it moved slowly southeast, toward Godfrey’s Ridge, in a direction toward what we locally term “Cherry Valley.” As it moved on the stars/sky reappeared. It made no sound Time was just after sunset, some light, some stars, some small clouds still could be seen in Western sky. I cannot judge how large it was but my impression was if I held up a beach ball above my head I think it would have been blocked from my sight. I live in the area and am very familiar with flight patterns in:out of Newark, NJ airport and the flight path taken by our local hospitals Med-Evacs helicopters. It was a very busy traffic evening, I could see Route 611 and both eastbound and west bound Route 80 from where I stood and traffic was heavy. So many people were out and about I sssumed I would see a report in the nightly news or the next days paper, but saw no reference or report.
