The mysterious, flying objects, spotted recently over New Jersey, made scattered appearances in southeastern Pennsylvania last night

SOUTHEASTERN PA — Drones were spotted throughout the greater Philadelphia area on Thursday night, perhaps the most widespread night yet of the unexplained sightings of aerial objects in the local area.
While sightings have been going on for weeks in New Jersey, there had only been scattered and intermittent reports around Philadelphia and the five county suburban area until Thursday night.
On social media, residents reported sightings in Pottstown, Lower Providence, Kimberton, Audubon, parts of Phoenixville, the Lehigh Valley, across Bucks County, and elsewhere.
“We don’t live near an airport,” one Pottstown resident shared on X. “We never see this many airplanes. And they’re too low and slow and too close together to be airplanes. What the hell is going on? It feels like an invasion.”
The drones — so named for lack of a better word, though they truly are unidentified flying objects — come in multiple sizes, but some are as large as SUVs, residents report. Many have blinking, multi-colored lights. They look similar to drones, and some of them may be drones, but that has never been definitively confirmed.
