- 190 Description:
- I was on the Throgs Neck Bridge going to New York off
Interstate 95 on July 16 2001 about 10:00 to 11:00 PM. I encountered 7
lights in the New Jersey Skyline on my right side.. 6 of objects we very
close together and seemed as if they were not moving. The largest object
was by itself and it was brighter and appeared bigger then the rest of
the objects encountered. As i moved over the bridge my vision of the objects
had disappeared and i could no longer see the objects. The next day i heard
on a Radio Station about the same encounter i had seen and this is what
made me repor this sighting.

- 180 Description: UFO spotted over Carteret, Linden,
Woodbridge.
- 190 Description:
- It was a diamond shaped craft but more of a V on one
end. Hovering over Arthur Kill River, Carteret, NJ and between the Amoco
Oil storage plants and the Elizabeth Consolidated Energy Plant. Object
seemed to glow and hover about 500-1000 ft in the air(not accuracte). Lights
were pulsating from orange to bright yellow and had no noise. Object seemed
6-8 times larger than the size of regular aircrafts flying through at their
regular height. Witnesses include about 80-90 people pulled over on the
NJ Turnpike between exits 12 & 13. Carteret residents on the northern
End of West Carteret and Carteret may have seen it.

- 172 Shape: Formation
- 180 Description: Orange lights hovering over Carteret
NJ in V formation
-
- 190 Description: I wish I have seen it too. Anyway I
would like to re-cap the facts presented by different people so far in
regards to these observations:
-
- The sighting was collective. About 75 cars stopped on
the highway to view the lights and 15 people in different locations who
have noticed it independently of each other and called the Cartret police
department. According to reports police officers themselves saw the lights
as well.
-
- Whatever this was, it must have been very close to the
ground, as only people at Pert Amboy, Raritan Bay, and Carteret NJ, but
not in any other neighboring towns, saw it.
-
- The descriptions all point to orange redish radial self
contained lights in a V and then Diamond v-shaped formation. This does
not convincingly corespond to any possibility of projected light from the
ground or Aurora Borialis as some suggested.
-
- It would be very interesting to know whether the coast
guard or the Newark airport radars have picked up anything unusual at that
time.
-
- It is also interesting to find out if any of the people
heard anything at all while making this observation (such as a chopper
or plane sound) especially considering the concluded low altitude of these
lights.
-
- could we have a more articulated description of the sighting
from anybody who saw it? What was the angle of the opening in the V shape?
How far do people asses the lights along the sides where in relation to
the end points of the V from each other? What shade of color would you
compare it to? Did the intensity or shade of the lights change throughout
the observation?

75 minutes
-
- A man called to report a series of three lights in the
eastern sky, one large one, and two smaller ones. His impression was that
they were orange, or yellow, and that they were maneuvering relative to
one another, with the little ones seemingly "dancing" around
the larger one. He had been watching the display for approximately 75
minutes, when he called our Hotline and left a message,
-
- describing the event. The text of his report follows:

-
- At apprx 0415 on 7-13 I went outside to turn water off
to my parched garden. At this time I witnessed a incredibly bright series
of three lights in the eastern sky. The series of lights would change configuration.
Three in a parallel, then it would change to a pyramid configuration one
on top of two. When the lights would realign a small yellowish-orange orb
cicled the light pattern. It entered the top and exited the bottom. I have
followed the night sky for all my 40 years. At first glance I thought this
was the morning star. It was in the same region as the morning star. This
was not the planet Venus. This was some type of event not consistant with
the normal early morning sky. I live near Lake Erie, along the flightpath
from Detroit to Cleveland. I saw one aircraft follow the normal flightpath.
Two aircraft flew by this object and cicled it. I have lived in this area
for my whole life. I have never seen anything similar to this.

- Strange objects near Research Triangle Park, NC
-
- It was about 9pm when my boyfriend and I (both students
at a local university) were driving home from the grocery store. To the
right of the car, we both noticed something strange in the sky; three triangular
objects. What drew our attention to them was the fact that there seemed
to be a center object (larger than the others) hovering, while the 2 objects
surrounding it moved rapidly from either side of it. These objects had
lights at all 3 corners (two red, one blue) and a larger white light in
the center. What was so amazing about these objects was their ability
to hover, as well as their incredible speed. We stopped and got out of
our car to get a better look, but within about 5-10min they were gone.
A little later in the evening, closer to 10pm, we went out again to see
if we could spot these objects. As we drove on the interstate closer to
-
- Raleigh, they appeared again. It seemed to me that we
saw between 3-5 of these at various locations. Again, we got out of the
car (with camera in hand) and one of the objects flew fairly close to us
to allow a better look. This object appeared to be similar to the center
object we had seen earlier. Also triangular, it appeared to have two very
bright white lights at the top-most point, with red lights on the bottom
two. In the center was again a larger white light, and right above these
were two strange markings of white light (resembeling <<). This
object came close to us, but made absolutely no sound whatsoever. In total,
over about 1-2 hours, we witnessed between 3-5 of these objects. While
I was skeptical, I just can't explain what it was that we saw. Another
strange thing was that there was a much higher amount of air traffic (airplanes)
in the area than we normally see. Though I can't be sure, some did appear
to be military.

colored object, with two rows of lights around its flange, in the night
sky. They viewed it with binoculars, and were able to see detail on it
quite well, they felt. The called the NASA facility in nearby Cleveland,
OH, and were told that another person had called minutes earlier from Vermillion,
OH. Details about the latter report are not available. No written report

- A man, who identifies himself as an amateur astronomer,
reports witnessing a luminescent object in the night sky, which suddenly
accelerates, stops, reverses its course, and returns to its original position.
It then maneuvers again, turns west, and disappears over the horizon.

- I HAVE BEEN DOING ASSTRONOMY, FOR YEARS,AND HAD JUST
FINISHED SETTING UP MY TELESCOPES. IWAS LOOKING FOR A SATELLITE, THAT WAS
DUE TO FLY OVER AT 21:28:40.II WAS LOOKING UP AT THE STAR VEGA, AND THOUGHT
I SAW THIS SATELLITE, WHEN ALL OF A SSUDDEN IT JUST TOOK OFF SO FAST, THAT
I COULD'NT BELIEVE IT. IT WAS IN THE EASTERN SKY MOVING UNDER VEGA, ABOUT
AS FAST AS A NORMAL SATELLITE WOULD MOVE, THEN IT TOOK OFF MOVING NORTH.
IT WENT ON FOR A FEW SECS, AND JUST STOPPED. IT CAME RIGHT BACK TO ORIGINAL
