Sphere over South Orange, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My wife and I were walking through the South Mountain reservation, A star like sphere, bright white, flew over our heads a thousand feet or less, it was silent, it never blinked, and it seemed to slightly wobble as it flew along. It changed direction and headed east towards NYC, we watched it ascend out of sight.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #130672). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
