Light over Cherry Hill, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On 3/15/15, at 1:30am, Over Cherry Hill, NJ, I walked outside my front door, like I usually do on clear nights. I looked up at the stars. When I looked up I noticed what looked like the stars were moving. They were very bright, brighter than anything else in the sky. There were 7 lights in a line. As they passed over at a very high rate of speed, and I know they were moving fast because when I watched planes fly over that are very high up and look very small, they move what looks like so slow across the sky. These lights were going 20x's faster. They made absolutely no sound. This was Early in the morning, no cars were outside and you could hear a pin drop. The lights started crossing each others paths, then 3 split off and started moving west while the others went north west but just as they went out of site the three came back. It was very fast, I would say about 45seconds and they were gone.

Went outside in my backyard to let the dogs out. As I looked up in the sky I seen a white oval orb with a trail traveling in straight direction from North to south. The rate of speed was like nothing I seen before in my life. The object made no sound. The approximate hight of the traveling object was hard to interpret due to the speed, so was the size of the oval size whitish orb. Could be wrong but seemed like it was flying twice to three times as hight as a landing aircraft ( which we se very often due to proximity to PHL airport) but it was traveling at a speed I never seen before an object to move in the sky. The trail it left behind is something also I never seen before in the night sky because it moved at same speed and disappeared at same proportional rate as the white oval was moving.

Glowing orange lights moving from South to North. One would be a bright orange glow then another would follow on same path. Each would start to dim then brighten then eventually dim again, moving upward. Eventually they all formed a semi circle that was caught on camera. They were not drones or Chinese lanterns. They were glowing not shining light. They definitely had a path & had converged together in a formation.

It was 11:00pm, I was watching tv and all of a sudden I heard a loud boom that shook my house for a second. I thought it was a bomb but I went outside and all my neighbors were also out inspecting. We all noticed and HUGE trail of smoke in the sky, and about a minute after, I could hear jets flying in the direction of the smoke trails. I checked the news to see if it were maybe a plane crashing, but I could find nothing. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was returning home from a walk, and was approaching the Woodcrest shopping Center on Browning Road, when I saw what I thought was just a bird taking off near the roof of the shopping center. Then I noticed that it looked more like a balloon. I thought it was pretty cool that someone let a balloon go, and was probably just watching to see how high it would go. So, I also stopped and watched its ascent. It was almost directly above me (and only a couple of hundred yards away at most), when I realized that it had very bright white lights blinking at the bottom of it--almost taking up the entire object. I also realized that it was more oval than cylindrical, and almost the color of a blue pearl. It was definitely not an airplane or helicopter. I just watched for a couple of minutes in wonder as it gradually sailed across the sky, and then walked away. I just dismissed as something I didn't understand (a weather balloon???). But I got thinking about it again and went online to see if there were any other reports of it, and found this site… Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Red-Orange glowing lights were headed from west to east over a late dusky-dark sky. They floated in the same general direction, but seemed to be a bit more random in their individual approaches and speeds. Three moved out in front quickly, another set of three came up a little more slowly. Observed by a white male aged 35 years old, standing outside of a friend's house.
