Unknown over Somerville, NJ

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Some very close friends of mine were driving (leaving Somerville). We were on RT 287, coming towards Piscataway. My friend who was sitting in the passenger seat spotted spotted a triangular form shaping with three circular light objects and so did I. They didn't look like planes or helicopters (as so her husband thought) but as soon as we looked the circular light at the tip of the triangular formation was moving fast and away! We realized, as we kept driving, we saw them again, but only two this time and they seemed to be close, and I'm sure that no helicopter or plane would look at that close!!! I'm not sure, but they were bigger, so that means they were closer. I know what lights look like and those weren't lights, but there was a light that covered what seemed to be fast moving objects. It had like a glow so to speak. It scared the living crap out of me!!!

Never thought I'd be on here writing this in my entire life, but here I am. I usually work overnights starting my shift at 11:00PM I walked out my front door around 10:22 PM waiting for my uber thought i saw something moving in the sky towards me, I looked up and right above me zoomed by a triangular shaped craft that had dim yellow lights trailing on both left and right edges of the craft on the underside, it passed right over my house, I would say about 1000-1500 feet above me, it was incredible to have seen, not scary at all but just mystifying and humbling to know that all the other people who reports such things are not crazy like i thought i was.
