Strange Lights Over Indiana County near Power Station

At about 10 pm on the evening of June 16, 2012, several people were sitting outside on the porch of their residence when they noticed a small white light rising in the sky in the distance. The light seemed to be moving in their direction from the west, and their first thought was that it could be a navigational light on a conventional aircraft. As they continued to watch, two additional lights joined the original light and formed a V formation.

A fourth light then appeared which moved slowly, then sped up to join the other three lights. That light stopped dead in midair as it formed a diamond formation in the sky.  As the people watched, the silent lights seemed to rise up in the sky in their direction, and then moved toward the vicinity of the Homer City power station.  The four lights in the diamond formation began to move towards a cloud that appeared to be very elongated and wide. The lights seemed to change to a pale yellow color as they entered the cloud. The four lights did not reappear or exit the cloud. The cloud never changed shape or dissipated during the entire observation.

A short time later another similar white light rose above the trees. The observers then continued to watch as numerous other similar lights, one at a time in about 1-2 minute intervals, moved along the same path. Each light seemed to hesitate a few seconds then would continue on and enter the same cloud but would never appear again. The group counted a total of 11 of the single bright lights that made no sound. One witness tried unsuccessfully to take pictures of the lights with her cell phone camera.
