1 ring-shaped, 2 circular and 1 kidney-shaped object witnessed in Plains, PA
My family was gathered at my mother's house for dinner and, afterwards, we were in the backyard playing a bean bag toss game with my young nephews. My mother, older brother, older sister and two young nephews were all present. While playing the game, my older brother said “UFO” and we thought he was trying to be funny (he had previously seen and reported a UFO sighting with additional family members approximately 2 years ago; I had not been present at the time of that sighting). He said he was serious and we all looked and saw what he had noticed.
There was a ring-shaped object in the sky that, at least twice while I was viewing it, rotated on its axis to show its top. When showing the top of itself, it could be viewed that the center was completely open, allowing an unobstructed view of the sky behind it. This object appeared about the size of a dime (to make a relative size comparison) and was approximately 45 degrees from the horizon. It was about 6:30PM, the sun was behind us and the sky was slightly cloudy; the object appeared to be no more than 1000 feet off the ground, well below cloud cover. The object appeared black but when it would rotate the top would appear to be silver.
Accompanying this ring shaped object were 2 dark circular objects. They were roughly a quarter of the size of the ring-shaped object and one was positioned directly above it, I’d estimate 60 degrees from the horizon; the second was behind and off to the right of the first. Admittedly, I did not pay much attention to these as I was concentrating on the ring-shaped object.
As these three objects moved out of sight range (they never became obscured by objects, they just became too distant to see; this took about 5 minutes from the time we initially spotted them) I happened to look back in the direction the objects had come from and saw a fourth object. This one was kidney shaped with the curve to the front and wobbled a lot as it moved. The curved section appeared to be white or a light color, the rest of the object was black. It went in the same direction as the other objects. This kidney-shaped object I would also estimate at about 45 degrees from the horizon and moving at approximately the same speed as the other three craft.
None of these four objects emitted any noise or contrail or exhaust of any sort. I could not notice any visible lights on them. They all moved slower than an airplane or helicopter would. All were headed in a southeasterly direction; there was a light breeze that was intermittently coming from the northwest.
