Residents report Black Friday UFOs

                   Montgomery County malls were swamped with shoppers on Black Friday.
                  These shoppers were of the human variety, with no reports of extraterrestrials among them.
                  Still, there were three reports of unidentified flying objects reported  to the county's emergency communications center that evening.
                  The first report came into a 911 dispatcher at 6:06 p.m. from a caller in Upper Moreland.
                  The caller told the dispatcher that he and other family members had spotted three "fireball like objects," about1 foot in diameter and about 300 feet off the ground, traveling slowly across the sky in a northerly direction.
                  Police responded but were unable to find anything similar.
                  At about 7:20 p.m., two calls came into the emergency call center from Lower Providence residents.  Both callers reported seeing eight to 12 red or orange lights traveling in what appeared to be some type of formation at about 1,000 feet off the ground and moving slowly in a northerly direction.
                  Again, when police responded, thelights were gone.
                  Could the lights have been on television helicopters up in the air to get their obligatory shots of crowded mall parking lots?
                  "All of the callers reported that there was no sound in connection with the lights,' said county Communications Director John A. Corcoran on Thursday.
                  Could it have been Santa out on a practice run with his reindeer?
                  "I have no idea," responded Corcoran.
                  "No," he answered when asked whether the county went on high alert in response to the sightings.
                  The reports were passed on to the Federal Aviation Administration and to the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, which receives all reports of "unusual events," according to Corcoran.
