Triangular aircraft seen on Penna Turnpike
From a distance, I saw a light hovering in the air from a few miles away, I had assumed it was an passenger jet flying parallel with the turnpike since it didn’t look like it was moving. It was foggy too so my other thought was that it was probably a communications tower. After I got closer I realized there was no structure below it so it had to be an aircraft. In between mile marker 318 and 317 I drove right under it while it just hovered over the turnpike. I slowed down to about 50mph and tried to get a good look without endangering myself to other motorist. It was a triangle, with blinking red lights on the wings and a few in the center with some additional white lights on the body. It was probably no more than 300 feet off the ground. It looked to be about 30-40ft wing to wing and about 40 ft in length. I didn’t hear any sound above and it being so close, if it was a helicopter I definitely would have hear it as the section of highway was in a small valley.
