As reported

Sphere over Colts Neck, NJ

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

The report, as filed

The object I am currently looking at at first glance looks like a star or a plane. However, it is blinking red, green, and white. It continues to move right to left and vice versa. It moved up as well. If you look closely, it appears that it sometimes moves in a small circular motion while basically staying in the same spot. Only one was observed. Looking at it now, after the past 30 minutes, it has moved significantly to the right since the first time I saw it. I am a soon to be 19 year old visiting home from college for thanksgiving and me and my dad were in the living room when I pointed it out. He thought it was a plane but when I told him to just watch it, he clearly saw that it really wasn't getting any further or closer. A few years ago there were reports from our neighbors that in the skies behind our house there were 3 floating orbs that were green, so I don't know if this would have any connection with what my neighbors saw years ago. Within the last 5 minutes I have seen this spec shaped light/object gradually move upwards and it seems like it has come closer to my house (not so in the distance). I tried to take a video but for some reason, it's not showing up well on my phone. Probably a sighting of Sirius. PD

Colts Neck, NJ

There was one glowing object moving in the sky, maybe 200 yards away approximately 20 stories in the air. It was very low and close. It was dark outside and the light was a whitish blue and it moved up, then down and then up again before moving very quickly North East. The whole thing lasted maybe 5 seconds. There were hardly any street lamps around the area, and the 3 that are give off the old orangish light, not like the moving one I saw in the sky. This happened over Naval Weapons Station Earle Naval Base.

Colts Neck, NJ

I was driving westbound on rt 537 when I noticed a green circle or sphere in the sky at approximately 45 degrees up from my location, at 11:00 (just to the left of the direction of the road). I was approaching colts neck high school at the corner of 5 points road. It was specifically noticeable because there were other traditional aircraft in the background moving and this light was absolutely still. Moments after I focused my eyes on it and started to slow down the car, it darted extremely quickly in a green blur toward the north/northwest. I know it sounds cliche but it looked like the the enterprise going warp. Dead still and then a blur for a distance and then gone. Green. Bright green.
