One large oval was floating for 15 mins then flew very fast across the sky. The left side had three red lights, the right had four white ones. Behind were other white lights 5-7 in equal distances across the sky. There were also eight air planes that were very evident. I saw a similar thing? Last year in Hillsborough, NJ, one town away. Mind you, my mother had text me, and asked about strange lights, she had been down the same road 15 minutes before us, she says she thought that the object was following her. The object was visible for almost the rest of our ride, but it didn’t seem to move until it was directly over the mini airport. It flew very very fast.

Manville, NJ

It was dusk and looking towards the southwest there were three black dots in a triangle hovering. They were about the size of a star and very distant. They were not moving. They were very hard to see but were there. Impossible to catch on camera. All of sudden a fourth one came in. It was to the right of the three in the triangle. Slowly the fourth one disappeared. Then two from the triangle disappeared. Then the last one disappeared suddenly. They never returned.
