UFOs Being Investigated Near Greater Philly

Do you want to believe? You aren't alone.

Have you seen a UFO?

According to Bill Weber, Pennsylvania's chief field investigator for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), Pennsylvania ranked seventh in the country for "most UFO sightings reported in the past year."

Twenty-seven UFOs were reported in the state, though Weber says the number could be higher.

"Often spectators fail to report to MUFON for various reasons," he said. "They fear others will ridicule them, they worry that they'll lose their jobs, they are afraid of some retaliation." 

The MUFON is investigating two reported UFO sightings near the Greater Philly area; one in Berks County and another in Montgomery County.
