Two Ligonier, PA, witnesses reported watching "a large object in the sky with flickering lights" in the shape of a diamond or cross-like pattern that hovered and moved for about an hour beginning at 12:30 a.m. on May 20, 2013, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witnesses were outside walking a dog when the object was first seen.
"I got a pair of binoculars to get a better look," the reporting witness stated. "I could see a dark outline of the object and it appeared to be a diamond shape with multiple colored lights in a cross-like pattern."
The witness and his wife observed the object for about an hour.
"It slowly headed west away from us. It would move slowly and then hover for a while and then move again. We have seen unexplained lights in the sky before, but nothing like this. This was a solid object with definition."
Ligonier is a borough in Westmoreland County, PA, population 1,573. No images or videos were included with MUFON Case 47550.

This story was filed as: Low flying diamond UFO reported over Pennsylvania town.
