As reported

Sphere over Washington, NJ

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

The report, as filed

First noticed in the sky as it was shiny and not moving. No chemtrails like 3 other high altitude airplanes in the sky at the time. Mentioned to other parents. Took 3 pictures roughly 30 seconds apart until it disappeared from view keeping the same plane in view for correlation. Best view is in first picture where the shape can be discerned well.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #179551). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

Washington, NJ

was out walkin dog. looking north and west in the sky I saw a large craft with triangle shape lights on tips. smaller craft were hovering south of me. movement was not that of air craft we know. not man made in its motion. I COULD SEE FROM THE SIZE OF THE TRIANGULAR SHAPED CRAFT IT WAS HUGE. MORE THAN SEVERAL FOOTBALL FIELDS IN LENGTH. AS THIS CRAFT HOVERED CLOSER OVER HEAD THEN MOVED WESTWARD. THEN NORTH. THE OTHER SMALLER CRAFT WERE TOGETHER IN TWOS AND HOVERED IN THE SOUTH SKY BEFORE MOVING OUT INTO DEEP SPACE.
