Formation over Camden, NJ

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

The report, as filed

As we drove east over the Ben Franklin bridge on Sunday, 9/25 at 7:50 pm, I looked to my right (south) and saw a group of 3 lights in a triangle formation hovering and slowly moving north. Each of the 3 lights had an orangish tint and I thought they had a shape that was similar to that of a shuttlecock (from Badminton). My husband also saw the lights and we were both unsure of what they were. I was then looking for my phone to take some pics/video without making a big to-do since our 10 year old was in the back. Once I found my phone, we were nearing the end of the bridge. At this point, they looked more in-line than in a triangle due to the different vantage point. I then noticed there were more than 3 lights. There was 5 or 6 and they were all traveling at the same steady rate, from south to north. Then we just kept going and were perplexed by the whole thing. I realize that Space X launched on Saturday and people were able to see that in this area, but this was different. That appeared to be one larger light that was emitting light and moving across the sky. This was more of a hovering/slow moving formation. The videos are not great. I included a few still frames from the videos. The shorter video was shot (7:50 PM on 9/25) first with the car window open. I thought I might loose my phone out the window. I believe the longer video (7:51pm) has the car window closed and you can therefore see green reflective lights zoom by -- these are reflections of the lights from the bridge. I wish I had my phone more accessible earlier to get footage of the orange hovering lights as we were going over the first half of the bridge.

Ask for the records

What would the paper say?

For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

Camden, NJ

Around 11:30ish on the evening of August 23rd, I was in the city of Camden, NJ. I was standing at my boyfriend's truck. Behind me was a dark alley to my left, was a small field then a couple houses, to my right was a big field of grass and in front of me was a couple houses. The cylinder shaped object came from my right side, up in the sky slowly descending till it was a low enough to see very clearly. I noticed it because the object was rotating as it was moving slowly. The flying object was cylindrical in shape, kind of like the things at the bank u put your stuff in then it gets sucked up. It had lights around it like dots, green dot, white dot, red dot, the lights outlined the object and the lights around the top of cylinder spun in circle as the object rotated (if on a clock 11-5) I looked up and pointed it out to my boyfriend as the object hovered over me for a moment while rotating. A few people over by the house a in front of me also looked up because I was pointing up telling my boyfriend to look. The object started moving again still going to the left of me but also rising. After it got to a certain height, (well above where the airplanes fly in the area I was in) there was a flash of light then the object was gone. This was definitely not any kind of aircraft that is normally in that area? I'm curious if anyone else saw this?

It was around 6pm., I was driving home from work and I saw a vertical gray rectangle with clouds partially covering it. I saw the right half of the rectangle, with the clouds covering the left side of it. The rectangle disappeared into the clouds. I was on Route 676, heading south towards I-76 and I-295. There were a lot of cars around me, but I don't know if anyone else saw it. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

We all were sitting down at the water front when I noticed a red and orange light coming from near the Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies Stadium. I put it to everyone's attention, they thought I was going crazy until it hovered there for too long. Then we all started recording. But the funny thing about it is the location, that's right next to Philadelphia international airport. When this whole incident happened there was no planes coming past. Then the light out of no where started to dim out a little and started to move up into the clouds in the distance. Then planes started coming down to land.
