If you make the light object larger in the picture I took you can see the weird grey object behind it causing this light. I was walking my dog late as I went up my porch to open my door this grey object with a light appeared above the small tree in my side yard. The object seemed grayish translucent with a very bright light.
I took a picture with my cell phone and once you enlarge the light you can see the weird grey object behind it.

Black/silver cones, dome top, red(0/20mph)/white(60mph). Aliens use invisibility cloaks are illuminated by light above/dim light behind I sleep in the day, and casually walk out at night. *Video captured evidence* I can prove most info below.
*CPD contacted NASA already after being shown the evidence.* Day 1: Saturday 3:30 AM. Alien walking on the other side of the street.
It notices me looking and runs. (appearance later explained) Day 2: Sunday 3:30 AM. I hear the gate open and close after hearing noises in the back yard.
I placed my phone recording on the window and record: 5 UFO. 2x metallic black with red glow, cone with dome roof, altitude 70 feet, 30+ minutes stationary. 1x blinking white light in the distance.
2x white streaks of glittery bright light accelerating up at +-60 MPH in between the metallic black UFO and making those metallic black UFO appear silver. Day 2 and 3 : Sunday 9:30 PM. On house cameras with light pole above it a light illuminated figure is walking down my whole driveway.
(5 feet tall, crouch walking with knees very forward, leaning body forward, arms nearly scraping the ground. I go and shine my light outside and don’t find it. Note: The alien is only visible here because the light pole is above it and it is a walking light illuminated figure much like seen on day 1, does not trigger a record but I took a picture.
Does not trigger a light sensor either. Invisibility cloak. We have this technology on Earth patented.
Day 4: Tuesday 20: Rattle on the second fence door (not under a light pole.) Day 5: Wednesday 21: I open both gates. I leave some pictures: It’s UFOs (rip black ink), human person with a invisibility cloak shield in front of their legs, and a give take image + a light on the outside table.
Tall darkened light 5 feet+ seen at the table. I knock on the window and it runs. Also one of these days I think wednesday there was a flicker of light in the garage in a specific area with the door open it casts a light on the ground as I saw on house camera.
No record trigger. I brake the hard drive the day before dropping it trying to get better reception because cameras were cutting out. At a most unfortunate time also.
Day 6: Thursday 22: I open the gate and place pictures of human trading and speaking with alien figure, and some technology images. I notice it move the papers on phone camera recording (doesn’t trigger garage lights sensor) I come outside quietly and wave at it while outside. It grabs the paper runs into a corner and looks at it more while something is clicking, drops it and runs my way fast past me because there is no light pole and out the fence door, humming sound and red light visible on garage door reflection 20 MPH sideways and slightly up.
Ozone smell. Thursday mid day: I visit the CPD, file a crazy report but with evidence apparently they contacted NASA. (I noticeb some suspiciously low flying Boeing “rented?” planes turning pulling some gravity Sunday.
) I also tried many military bases phone calls and only one was somewhat helpful. NY USAF base that almost scrambled jets until I told then wait wait wait this was a few days ago so they hung up before I could explain that it happens every night. I took my fathers phone because my sim card is locked as I swapped it to a older less damaged phone.
My drunk father tries drilling out my door lock as I’m making panic calls. I call CPD because of what my father was doing. 5/6 police arrive they watch the videos they say they contacted NASA already, I get investigated by two from a hospital and they also see the evidence so they say nothing is wrong.
Police stay until 9 ish PM and leave. I later in the morning notice I have a burn on my arms , none under my shirt, and s! ome foot pain. I panic thinking it’s radiation after 12 hours of exposure and call non emergency CPD number and chug iodized salt, saying the idiot flew over my head and I have radiation/chemical burns and my foot hurts.
They come and say yeah that is a burn and get me a ambulance to a hospital. Because I’m talking about aliens and came with CPD they put me on psychiatric watch for 12 hours, deny me iodine tablets, deny me radiation checks, deny me a lawyer call, tell me to shut up when I try to say why they put me there and how it’s a mistake. It was filthy in there.
They probably don’t follow any sanitary laws. I need to sue the hospital. The reason the police came with was so I could give a report of the chemical/radiation I think, or thats why they should have been there because they told me they received word that the other shift told them of the UFO sighting and me when they arrived.
Day 7 Friday 23: I place a drawing showing UFO flyover person burnt and hurt leg. I don’t go outside. Day 8 Saturday 24: I don’t go outside.
Shortly before sunset there is something in my basement as I’m setting the laundry. It moves back when I look at the glare 3 feet away but barely saw anything except that one glare on it’s face. I go up, then I come down whistling and lock the doors.
It was still inside in my basement. There was also a glare in my room head level walking out I don’t remember if before or after. Day 9 Sunday AM.
Before sunrise banging on the door on phone video, fence door shuts before this. I record minutes before I think it came out there were three silver light emitting drone sized cones with dome roof inches from one another above a house and in front of a tree. Very electric interference in the recording.
Strong ozone smell in my house with doors and windows closed. I coughed after I inhaled it this time. I hesitated calling CPD but I did 2 hours after sunrise and the door was unlocked by then.
Also when it was knocking the dog was half barking upstairs (afraid to make noise but barking) I never heard that before form him, and before sunrise. Note: They are not hostile. They don’t steal anything, they come in pairs or more, *so don’t start a war with a species that can easily drop nukes on us from hovering objects by imprisoning one or worse.
* Also note: Help me sue the hospital because their treatment was horrible and they didn’t bother investigating the reason why the police came with me, and I don’t have money to throw around and bad insurance. Final note: Seriously don’t start a war with these things. I can be the intermediary communication if you want.
I don’t mind them in my house or standing next to me or abducting (I doubt they would.) But if you harm one the others will know. You don’t want a planetary war.
Anti gravity is real. The creatures appear almost certainly alien but maybe can be a human pretending but why would anyone do that with this technology demonstrated. The burn marks could be sunburn, and leg pain could be me running out the window from drunk father.
Please inform me before coming. They become startled VERY easily and come in pairs+. I can likely arrange some meeting.

(PLEASE DISREGARD OLD FORM POSTED AT: Sunday July 25 2021 at 13:31:33) I EMAILED A VIDEO LINK USING THE WRONG EMAIL BEFORE AND IT NEVER REACHED. I attached links in this form that can be posted and will also try sending links through email again. PLESE POST THIS FORM INSTEAD.
- UFO AND ALIEN. UFO VIDEO *1 at high altitude: blue line of light. Stationary 1 hour.
*2 at low altitude: dome roof, straight bottom, mostly straight sides. Emit a slight red glow when stationary, and a bright red glow when moving. Both these objects each once emit two bright white lights from one side going up that start at the bottom and vanish slightly above the dome.
During the white lights the light illuminated objects reflected some light and became brighter, but at night usually appeared black with a slight red glow. Silent. Maybe* a perfume like smell in the air.
Stationary 1 hour. LANDING VIDEO (light reflected from garage windows before and after interaction.) *I think these low altitude UFO landed because I also took video and photo of something almost transparent that is only seen in specific lighting moving and interacting with objects the same week, along with other reasons.
Maybe clothing that bends light around objects. ALIENS VIDEO AND PHOTO *illuminated by light coming from above (especially their leaning forward back.) *dim direct light that is behind them and shining on them.
*sometimes a light or glare at their head height walking. *completely transparent in other situations. *did not trigger infrared sensors.
*knees usually bent forward. *longer and wider arms than a human. *elbow bend at it's hip height.
*large hands. *hands almost touch the ground. *hunching forward.
*wide torso. *no neck was visible. *wide head.
*5 or 6 feet tall. *can run quickly. *walked using rear legs, and not arms.
*they were frightened easily. *they opened fence and house doors (witnessed by my mom also.) *familiar with my street (maybe because I placed some pictures on the outside table that it looked at while I recorded it then I walked outside to hand gesture, or the many other times I went outside at night.
) *red lights also on video before and after it interacted with the pictures I placed on the table. They are not hostile. I was not afraid of them.
I got close to one on many occasions purposely. After a while I changed my sleep schedule, and stopped actively trying to record them, and haven't heard or seen anything recently, but my mom recently said the fence door was opened, she closed it worried the dog will run away if it was let out, and then she said it was opened again shortly after.

Very bright object, the size of a penny or a nickel when held in the hand, "floating" over there. When I woke up, around 5:30 am, I looked out the window and saw a bright object that looked like the moon, and the size of a penny or nickel when held in the hand, standing there. Initially I did not make much of it, one way or the other.
But then it hit me that it might be a UFO. All of a sudden, it was gone, but it did not go away, it just disappeared, like a light that is turned off. It was still rather dark and I could not see whether or not there were any clouds in the sky.
But when the sun came out, I realized that there was not a single cloud in the sky. Evidently, the object had just disappeared, like a light that is turned off. This took place in Clifton, NJ, to the west of New York City.
(You can see the city from my apartment.) I do not know exactly the duration of the incident, because it was already "floating" over there when I woke up.

We were sitting in our bedroom, looking outside the window, when I noticed something round in the sky, just hovering. All of a sudden, there was a blue light that exploded in the sky and following after a pop sound occurred. Following the same thing happened with a green light after.
It was the weirdest thing. Then my dog started barking and wouldn't turn her body to the window. She faced it and stayed that way the rest of the night.

Slow, but steady, seemingly triangular flying object high in the sky among the clouds. Higher than descending airplane into Newark BUT lower than ascending airplane out of Newark. Much smaller than aircraft.
At first assumed it was a bird but the altitude remained consistent. Black, no lights but a definite haze around the object. Its movement was very steady and measured as if on cruise control.
Was traveling southwest near Route 46 in Clifton. Shifted about 20-30 degrees but maintained south-bound route. Observed for about 30 minutes while standing in front of a house along with three other family members.
It was still flying when I left. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

A slow moving red circular object in the sky observed for 2-3 minutes then could not be found. I saw a slow moving red circular object in the sky. I have never seen anything like this before.
I called my husband to look out the window but it had already moved further away. I lost sight of it behind a tree and then could not see it in the sky. This was not an airplane.
This was no meteor it had no trail.

B2 Bomber/Flying Wing aircraft. I walked outside on this night to look at the stars. Only a couple of minutes later I looked behind me and saw what seemed to be a plane.
It had no lights on and moved slower than usual. As it approached, I realized the lights still weren't on and there was zero engine noise. It was totally silent.
There was no fuselage section or tail. The shape resembled a B2 bomber but lacked the jagged edges in the back. It was a flying wing shape.
It was a dark grey color and had what looked like four equidistant lines like armament racks along the wing. It flew over MSU University area in a southern direction. I tried to watch it further but it blended in with the sky so well I lost my tracking sooner than I thought I would.
About 5 seconds after it passed over me a regular small passenger type jet followed a few hundred yards to the left of it. It seemed like a coincidence but maybe they were flying together.

Bright light!! I do not know if this was a UFO sighting for sure but my husband and I don't have any other explanation to what occurred last night. We live in a 2 family home, second floor. Our bedroom is located on the backyard side of the house, away from the street.
We had all of our home lights turned off. We were in bed and talking about our weekend plans when all of a sudden there was this incredibly bright yellow light that appeared out of no where. It was our window bright as can be disregarding the fact that there were blinds and open curtains.
Sure our curtains were open but this light was just an unexplainable bright yellow color, it filled me with much fear. Unfortunately my husband was given his back to window but he also noticed how bright our room appeared and of course noticed my petrified expression. Out of fear, I closed my eyes and hugged my husband as hard as I could of course, this did not allow him to go see out the window When I opened my e! yes again the light was gone.
My husband and I were in disbelief to what had just occurred. I asked him if he saw the light and his comment was "how can you even miss it." Now we went over ideas maybe it was the moon but we know that is not the case we had cloudy skies last night and our moon was definitely not in its full state.
We thought maybe a car? But that was debunked given that we are in the second floor and heard no cars also as soon as the lights went away my husband checked outside the window and there was nothing! Everything was silent, No noise, no people, no airplanes. My husband and I always have our curtains open and not once have we seen anything like we saw last night.

Luminous line seen in New Jersey sky. I am unsure if this qualifies as an unidentified "object", however I did see a strange phenomena in the sky. At approximately 8:15pm on 09-09-13 I saw what I can best describe as a luminous line in the night sky.
It was as far as I can tell a perfectly straight line, which from my distance must have been extremely long (mile?). It appeared to be virtually motionless despite changing cloud currents near it. Around 8:45pm it began to fade and slowly became obscured by cloud cover.
At the onset of the event I called my mom who also confirmed seeing it. I attempted to take a photo of it with my cellphone and digital camera.

2 strange orange glowing lights in the sky over Clifton, NJ Around 10:00 PM on July 30, 2013 I saw two orange glowing lights in the sky over NJ. They were moving slowly eastward following each other. They were flying relatively low at first, but gradually increased their altitude.
Then, they stopped for several seconds, and one after the other flew upward very quickly and vanished from my sight. They did not make any noise. I was able to observe the strange orange lights for 3-4 minutes before they disappeared.
I do not believe in UFOs, but this was definitely not an airplane, a helicopter, a balloon, or anything that I have seen before. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Seven red / orange fireball lights hovering in formation. My husband was driving home down our dead end road when he noticed a number of fireball (red / orange) lights to his right, in the North/Northeast sky (in the area of the Pleiades.) He pulled over and exited his car to get a better look, the fireballs appeared to be hovering in the sky and coming together in formation.
A neighbor pulled his car behind my husband's vehicle, exited, and asked "What the hell is that?" In complete awe my husband answered "I have no idea, never seen anything like it before!" My husband got back into his vehicle drove the few yards to our parking lot, exited his vehicle a second time, looked up and could see only one of the red/orange fireballs remaining, as it headed off up into the sky in a Northwest direction. Tonight's weather conditions are mostly cloudy, winds East/Southeast 5 - 10 miles per hour.

gray/silver oval shaped flying object flying a little above tree level On May 21, 2012, while driving in Clifton, NJ, I was distracted by an image on an oil truck driving ahead of me. I was able to get a quick picture of it as I was driving. After observing the picture later in the day I noticed something in the top corner of the shot.
It looked like an oval shape that didn’t seem to be any type of familiar object. After zooming in to get a better look, it occurred that the object looked similar to a UFO. After viewing the picture a few times I was unable to come to any other conclusion.
I believe I captured the image of a UFO passing over RT 3 in Clifton, NJ. I returned to the site several hours later to see if the object was still there but it was gone.

Dots over Clifton, NJ I took this pictures and video the night of 06/19/11 around 8:15pm. We were having a BBQ when I look up and saw this little plate moving from north-east to south east, very slow. It was difficult to see, because the distance.
The object stop and if you look in the video, you can see an aircraft flying over the UFO. Moments later the object just vanished. Im sending the original pictures.
In order to see the object you need to zoom in around the center. I know is not the best pictures but is proved that we saw something that night.

Bright glowing oval/saucer shaped object hovering over Passaic/Clifton NJ slowly moved left and right 3 vid clips were recorded I was taking a stroll with my girlfriend when I noticed a bright oval/saucer shaped object in the air. I thought it was the moon at first, but it did look very strange so I kept staring at. I noticed that it tended to slowly move left and right.
By the time I saw its behavior there was no dought in my mind that this was indeed a UFO. My girlfriend also witnessed the object as well as my brother. Both admit that it was not the moon, it was moving, and it did have an oval/saucer like appearance.
I recorded three short vids of the event.
