October 12, 2022; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
1:00 am. Object with a solid red light hovered silently and flew
directly toward me from 1 mile away within the time it took me to
blink.
An object with a red light was slowly flying parallel over the Ben
Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia, approximately 1 mile from where i
was standing. I did not pay much attention to the object until it
passed behind a building and immediately came back from behind the
building. My first thought was that it was too quick to turn around
after passing behind the building and it did not seem to be flying
backwards. It continued slowly flying back to its original position
hovering over the Ben Franklin bridge for about 1 minute. Then it
suddenly flew toward me and stopped about 20 feet in front of me.
The time it took to fly from its position over the Ben Franklin
Bridge to the position 20 feet in from of me took less time than it
took for me to blink. As it flew toward me my eyes started to blink
but before they closed i could see a tail behind the object created
from the speed of the object and the red light. The tail created by
the light reminded me of the light tail created when at the circus
and you spin the light they give you around and it created a line of
light. As it hovered in front of me for some reason i could not
clearly see the object, which i thought was strange. It was fuzzy
and i could see almost like an outline and the red light was on the
bottom of the craft, but no navigation lights. There were no wings
and the object seemed to be the size of a small bus, and it hovered
in silence. As it started to fly away i could see now that the red
light was the outer rim of an opening with a bright white light in
the middle surrounded by the red rim. I live in an apartment
building in the middle of my floor with maybe 8-9 apartments on each
side of me and on the 27th floor with another 4-5 floors above me.
As it flew away from a standing position i noticed that it did not
arch up as most crafts would require and just raised and flew away.
At 20 feet away i would think it would have arched up and needed
more room to fly away to pass over my building. My background is
computer technology and i am very detailed I know that nothing can
fly 1 mile in less than the blink of an eye.
