there was no sound at all. None, complete silence and anir extremely still no wind and the lights formation continued then stopped all of a sudden. I was getting dog in and they were gone when I came out. Then sky got very cloudy over that area exactly. Misidentifed searchlights (confirmed in video) [NUFORC annotation: Searchlight - Certain]

I heard about this on the news and have seen these before so my eyes were trained on the sky . The shooting star went from south to north through the night sky roughly one minute before . A triangle shaped craft high in atmosphere . With a red light in center . Moving from east to west in the sky from horizon to horizon . Completely silently . I tried to take a video maybe it can be spruced up or maybe it didn't record at all... I tried .. I than seen a formation of two high atmosphere airplanes moving west to east almost crossing the same flight path and altitude . Seemingly unaware of what was just in their flight path . It did not had blinking lights like a airplane . I live by naval weapons station Earle . And also a private airport . I know what an airplane is . This was three transfixed lights in triangle pattern with extremely bright center with red color . Seemingly big craft .

One object appeared as a horizontally long oval (width only slightly bigger than height) with a light green glowing aura surrounding it. The object was going in a downward direction quickly and was fireball-like. One witness still saw the object behind trees on the horizon until it disappeared. The object appeared to be a few miles away in the southwest direction. Between the time that the first witness saw the object and the disappearance was approximately twenty seconds. This sighting occurred while setting up a telescope (but not viewed through the telescope as it happened too quickly to attempt to view it and we did not want to look away) and no other unusual objects were noticed before or after this. Both witnesses are not astronomy experts, but beginners with an interest in space. One witness observed meteors from the Persoid meteor showers in August. To compare to the meteors observed then, this object was much bigger, closer, slower, going in a downward direction (as opposed the meteors which went across the sky). Airplanes were the only other moving objects in the sky observed that night. However, this object also did not appear to be an airplane (the unidentified object was bigger, did not appear to have an airplane shape, and an airplane would not have been flying downward as fast).

While driving east on I-195 in Howell, New Jersey from exit 28B to 31B, I saw a silver, shiny spherical object move over the roadway. It hovered over the roadway well above the tree line and then traveled over the road in an eastward direction, the same direction I was traveling. It continued to move ahead of me and I was unable to catch up to it traveling around 75 mph. I followed it for a few miles and as I approached my exit it vanished from the sky. It seemed to disappear completely instead of flying away.

Bright red and orange glowing sphere hanging high in the sky, as if Mars was @5000 feet. It was glowing from bright to extremely bright steady in same spot then traveled east after 2 minutes slowly but made enormous ground the shot straibght into sky at a 45 degree angle and disappeared at a speed that is humanely imposdible till it disappeared maybe 2 or 3 seconds to ascend to the stratospere and faded when it did shoot up the light changed from gliwing red and orange to a very pure white and changed in size from very ir extremely large to very small in the tbree seconds it tool to leave the atmosphere.
