Circle of spinning lights reported

February 21, 2012

Scottdale area, Westmoreland County, PA

It was about approaching 7 AM, when a man traveling on Route 119 south near Scottdale observed in the distance a series of bright colored lights over the trees. The lights were flashing green, blue, white and yellow in color. The light pattern suggested that they were attached to an object that was not discernible. As he watched, the object made a 90 degree turn and moved towards the Connellsville area before he temporarily lost sight of it. He then saw the object again moving slowly, about 400 feet above a farm house. The witness described what he saw as a “circle of lights”, with the lights flashing clockwise. This description is very similar to an object reported near Latrobe on December 30, 2011.
