On Saturday, August 5, 2017, between 6:35 and 7:00 PM, I was in my car, facing east on Woodbridge Avenue (about three blocks before you reach Route 9) in Woodbridge, NJ, waiting for a red light. I was looking up at the clear blue sky and saw a misty round orb to the right, about the size of a large grapefruit, held at arm's length. This orb was white, and moved through the clouds toward the west. After a few seconds, a bright flash of light emitted from the center of the orb, and then it was gone. The whole sighting lasted about the time it took for the traffic light to change.

2 bright white horizontal parallel lights flying NE passing over Fords. I pulled car over then reacquired lights now stationary over Woodbridge. Now one much lower than other. Lower light then flew straight up almost touching the 2nd light & passed it. Got on phone to call local friend about lights then once looking up again the lights had traveled south now in Driscoll bridge area & spread further apart & had 2 other different lights in same general area. The 2 other lights were possibly planes? Lost sight due to getting low on the horizon & trees. Got on Rte 9 South to follow but lights were gone.

Quick sighting here from NJ, a few mins after 9 pm on June 28th, there were strong thunderstorms to our north so I was observing them, in a brief interval, three fuzzy balls of light that were aligned in triangular formation appeared to the north-west about 1/4 mile from my position over a family restaurant , it appear controlled and when the lightning flashed it was backlit and appeared as a triangle form.. with these fuzzy balls on each corner … About the size of a VW BEETLE...... This object then did a quick forward cork-screw maneuver and continued forward to the south west, changing color from green to red with the forward light having a small comma streak trailing from it and gaining altitude fast into the clouds disappearing from my view .. Object speed must have been about 40mph , about 300 ft in height ….... Never saw anything like this, have seen ball lightning but this was moving as one object and that corkscrew it did was rea! lly COOL LOOKING ! Thanks..........
