A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Pulsing multi colored object …...seen flying in from north west and flew over Rt 1 hovered a short time, shot off to north Here's a sighting at approx 9:03 pm on Aug 26 2014 in Woodbridge,NJ near the crossing of Rt 1 and St Georges Ave ….... after shopping from local Shoprite attention was drawn to the north west sky of a low slow moving light that was changing colors in sequence, not strobing but steady pulses of red,blue green and then it would repeat itself.. at first thought it was a helicopter but when it hovered made a complete tight circle and then shot off to the north turning a solid green I thought otherwise. My ground location was aprox ½ mile south of object Attempted to stop a few cars to confirm sighting......... one did stop but he said it was drone..............OBJECT was totally silent ….................no motor noise Object was low about 30 degrees off horizon it could be covered with my thumb if held at arms length Object first appeared from NW flew east a short time, hovered over a new convenience store/gas station on Rt 1 North made a tight circle then dove down and turned a dull green and flew to north Sequence was red blue green repeated many times with vibrant colors I did take a few grab shots of the event with a digital camera and a short vid, it shows a cylinder shaped object ( when zoomed in on computer )and the video shows a blinking fuzzy dot moving north pulsing RBG colors Event lasted approx 3 min from 9:03 to 9:06 pm it was warm and clear about 75 degrees with good visibility …..........object was about 500 ft in height and moved in controlled manner .but the colors were so pure clear and grouped and vibrant for it to be nav lights on a plane or chopper ….....it looked like halogen Christmas lights …....... NOTE: This craft appears to mimic the Colonia, NJ (WOODBRIDGE Township )sighting of same date and time, reported in this site ….. my location was approx 2 miles south of that reported event ….............. Object's flight path was well below the approach pattern of Newark airport but UFO or drone? If it was either they are flying in a heavily congested airspace with planes on approach to NEWARK Airport....................THANKS.............

On Saturday, August 5, 2017, between 6:35 and 7:00 PM, I was in my car, facing east on Woodbridge Avenue (about three blocks before you reach Route 9) in Woodbridge, NJ, waiting for a red light. I was looking up at the clear blue sky and saw a misty round orb to the right, about the size of a large grapefruit, held at arm's length. This orb was white, and moved through the clouds toward the west. After a few seconds, a bright flash of light emitted from the center of the orb, and then it was gone. The whole sighting lasted about the time it took for the traffic light to change.

2 bright white horizontal parallel lights flying NE passing over Fords. I pulled car over then reacquired lights now stationary over Woodbridge. Now one much lower than other. Lower light then flew straight up almost touching the 2nd light & passed it. Got on phone to call local friend about lights then once looking up again the lights had traveled south now in Driscoll bridge area spread further apart & had 2 other different lights in same general area. The 2 other lights were possibly planes? Lost sight due to getting low on the horizon & trees. Got on Rte 9 South to follow but lights were gone.
