Pilot reports rectangle UFO with 'fuzzy edges' over Pennsylvania's Bucks County
A Pennsylvania pilot reports getting a clear view of the bottom of a "very bright orange," rectangle-shaped UFO "with fuzzy edges" as it moved silently overhead between 1,000 and 1,500 feet on September 1, 2011, moving northwest over Upper Bucks County, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was sitting in a vehicle while waiting on his daughter to finish a piano lesson when the object came into view.
"The object did hold a steady course but appeared to gain altitude as it sped off in the distance to the west, northwest," the witness stated. "The object was completely out of sight in about 10 seconds."
The object was not consistent with anything the pilot was familiar with.
"It was much larger than any aircraft I have seen at that distance. It had none of the usual aircraft markings and had no flashing strobes, no red or green navigation lights, no landing light, and no tail light."
The pilot reported getting a clear view of the bottom of the object as it moved overhead.
"It glowed a very bright orange color. I thought that the rectangular shape was extremely unusual and have never before seen an object of this shape flying in the sky. I was in awe of this unusual object and got out of my car to watch it."
No town name was mentioned in the public portion of the MUFON report, which was filed on September 1, 2011. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Bucks County is the fourth most populous county in Pennsylvania, population 625,249, just north of Philadelphia. No images or videos were submitted with the report.

PA, September 1, 2011 - Bright orange UFO heading West, Northwest over Upper Bucks Co, Pennsylvania. Object was large and rectangular in shape and emitted a bright a bright orange flame frame the underbelly. MUFON Case # 31387.
I am a licensed pilot and very familiar with FAA requirements for aircraft lights. While in my car waiting for my daughter to finish her piano lesson at her teacher's house I was talking on my cell phone with a good friend when a very bright object caught my attention. I ended my call in order to watch the mystery object.
The object was traveling West by Northwest at about 1000-1500 ft. and was traveling at about 150-200 MPH. The object was a very bright orange, rectangular in shape with fuzzy edges, and was emitting a flickering bright yellow/orange flame from the center of the underbelly of the object. The object made no sound.
I initially thought that it could be a floating lighted lantern. However, in my opinion, the object was traveling too fast to be a floating candle. The object did hold a steady course but appeared to gain altitude as it sped off in the distance to the West, Northwest. The object was completely out of sight in about 10 seconds.
It was much larger than any aircraft I have seen at that distance. It had none of the usual aircraft markings and had no flashing strobes, no red or green navigation lights, no landing light, and no tail light.
I had a clear view of the bottom of the object as it flew practically directly overhead. It glowed a very bright orange color. I thought that the rectangular shape was extremely unusual and have never before seen an object of this shape flying in the sky. I was in awe of this unusual object and got out of my car to watch it.
