Cigar over Swedesboro, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On this day and time as I was leaving work is when I saw a bright object in the sky. It was raining and the skies were grey with clouds and not much sunlight. It appeared to be cigar shaped,stationary and also very bright like glowing white. I looked around looking for the sun but no sun for this thing to reflect any light from. As I kept driving to get onto the highway for two seconds the object went behind the treeline and just disappeared. I was on the phone with my fiancé and I told her what I saw right away.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #155638). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

I was driving my truck on my way to NY to make my deliveries, while I was on between exit 10 and 11 on 295 NJ ( sweedboro NJ area) I saw a large object appear in the air in front of me while I was still driving my truck. The object was black but in seconds change to bright white light with some blue color inside . I was getting ready to pull over so I can take a video but the object disappear in the same exact spot. I was speechless and I the only person I told about it was my wife. I don’t want other people think that I’m crazy or laugh about me .

Driving on Kings Highway, my husband, daughter and I, saw something in the sky. It wasn't a plane, and there were 3 of them. They were very sleek, reflective and bright, like the bulb of a lamp. I couldn't focus my eyes on the actual shape. They flew high in the sky to the side of my car before going overhead and forward into the clouds.
