the most panicking moment of my life First, I am a nature lover. I have been seeing strange objects in the sky since June 27. On July 20 at 10:37, I came out of my house to smoke a cigarette and I looked at the sky in front and I saw two: circles of light with a light in the middle that turned on and off.
one moved towards New York and the other to the left. Then the one at the left moved towards my street, I stood just under the canopy of my building and looked up and it threw a silver light to me. I entered the building quicky and my body was shaking, I do not know how I went up the stairs.
I was petrified and it took me a long time to fall sleep.

snake shape bright light It looked like just a bright light in the sky, that did not move, until I took pictures with a telescope lens and it looks like a bright light that is zig zag and and kind of looks like a snake shape when you zoom into the pictures. It has a circle area around it where the light shines off.

Blinking red circular lights going in circle for almost an hour. It's been flying in circle about 20 miles away from where we are, with red lights lighting one after an other in circle. At first we thought it was a plane and that because of the distance we had a distorted vision but then because of the route it took as it got closer we realised the lights (from far away we could only see 4 lights in circle one after the other) were definitely not those of a plane or a helicopter.
We waited to see what it did when other planes came close and the planes passed by as if there was nothing while it kept on following its elliptical trajectory. It's still there as I am writing this report, it is now 9 pm, it's been over 40 min. I would say it's on top of Secausus or Kearny, if anyone wants to take a closer look at it….

Another Triangular Formation in the skies of new jersey 3 glowing lights i recently read an article on http://www.realufos.net/ about these young ladies whom recorded a triangular formation in the skies of new jersey.
I always tend to look up to the sky and I know where to see stars, because in Northern Jersey it’s hard to see stars. When all of a sudden, I happen to look up towards the southwest direction; west from NYC, I saw clearing 3 orb shaped white lights in a PERFECT triangle formation. I was convinced that it was a UFO of some sort.
They seemed to glow but no movement, and then I started to think maybe they are stars after all that I never noticed before. But the formation was so clear; I know I would have not missed it before. So I went upstairs and had dinner; 30min later it was gone.
So now I’m convinced it was no stars.

While viewing the stars I saw a U.F.O fly near by,in the from north to south,in New Jersey.
While I was looking through a pair of 12 x 50 binculars,up into the sky and viewing a bright star in the southwest, I suddenly saw a circle shape U.F.O flying by the star to the left of it, through the left side of the eye pice of the binculars.
I followed it heading south,and saw it turn left suddenly, and than back to traveling in a straight line,traveling fast. I lost site of it in a haze of what look like clouds. The u.
f.o seem to be gray in color and had another rounded part to it in the middle, but I never saw any lights coming from it. If the clouds did not block my view I could of viewwd it much longer, because of the speed it was going.
This is the first time I got a good look at a u.f.o that close.
The time I viewed it was 4:21am on 10-25-11.

U.F.O observation.
As I was taken a night photo of a bright star, and when I lowered my camera, after taken the photo, I saw a falsh of round light suddenly in the dark sky, looking East from the west. The object was circle in shape.It had two shades of color to it, in the middle it was dark black looking, and on the out shell it was a lighter color.
Also in the middle of it was a smaller dot of some kind, circle in shape,like something a U.F.O would have on it, or on a spacecraft,from out of this world.
After the light went out on it, I pionted my camera in the direction of the said object, and took a photo of it. The photo showed what I just discribe above. I believe I have a real photo of a real U.
F.O. This is my secound report of two different U.
F.O observations,that I reported to this site, this year ,and with in the last four months.Duly noted.

Extremely bright light zooming scross the sky just disappears from sight My boyfriend and I were lying on the couch facing 2 different directions. I was facing the wall and he was looking out the window. He was observing some type of white light in the sky moving upwards diagonally at a very rapid speed for about 5 seconds when he informed me to turn around.
When I looked out the window, I too saw a very bright light moving across the sky quite rapidly. After I looked for about 3 seconds the light just disappeared out of the sky. It was too small, moving extremely faster, and not the right shape to be an airplane.
It was also too big/bright of a light to be anything shot up into the sky. Nor was it a comet or shooting star due to the size being too large, the light being too bright, and there was also no tail at all. It was semi-hazy and the sun had just went down not that much prior to the sighting, and nothing outside of our atmosphere could be seen at the time so it was definitely something leaving the planet.
It was a very nerve rattling event, since neither of us had ever seen anything like that before, and it was completely unexplainable.

Huge bright blue slow speed flying disc shape object flew from Palisade Park to Seacaucus seen in NJ 00:45 am. The object flew from the north heading to the south. It also flew at very low altitude also at very low speed.
The object has bright blue light and also has a white flashing light running in one direction on the body of the craft. Comparing to the side of the normal aircraft, it was much much bigger. The craft has a disc shape and only one object was seen in the sky.
I was on the street and the yellow light shined on me. The background of the craft was dark as the object was witness flying over the area of Palisade Park to Sycaucus area in New Jersey.

Pulsating light moving very slowly around the sky. I was sitting in my yard watching the sky for the Perseid meteor shower, when I noticed what I first thought was a dim star moving very slowly and, seemingly, erratically. Sometimes it would move from side to side and then make a full stop for a few seconds before continuing.
I watched it for about ten minutes (trying to comprehend what I was seeing) then ran in to call my brother outside. He looked up and could see it right away. He confirmed that it didn't look or act like any plane or helicopter he'd ever seen, either.
It was very difficult to determine the shape of the object, but to us it seemed either circular or spherical. From what we could see it didn't have lights in the usual sense, but seemed that the object itself was lit. However, it could be that we were unable to see the whole object.
At one point the light was vibrating or dimming and brightening very quickly; my brother said he thought it was changing colors, but I was unable to detect a color change. But we both agreed that it was clearly pulsating. It moved around in a random pattern, almost aimlessly, but always remained within clear view.
After about 40 minutes my brother went back inside and I watched it for a bit longer. I noticed that it moved back and forth several times, as though someone repeatedly driving a car forward and reversing. It began pulsating heavily (the light seemed to be making patterns, but I can't be sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me).
After that it moved into a cloudy area and it became far too overcast to be able to spot it anymore. Just a note: Afterward I thought it might just have been a man-made satellite, some of which are visible to the naked-eye in certain conditions. I read through a lot of information online, but from what I've gathered a satellite's orbit does not match the behavior of this object.
I have no idea what we saw, but I'll be watching the sky far more often.

white and green lite hovering 20 or 30 feet over head. then ziipped away and disapeared after 3 or 5 seconds this looked like a small light. Like a star only flying about 20 or 30 feet over our heads.
I was with my wife and just parked my car by North Hudson (Braddock Park). As we were walking to our apartment we both saw this small light over our heads hovering and then zipped away like a shooting star. Only it was too low and was impossible that it could be a star.
We bothed looked at eachother, and were like, "did you just see that?" We debated on what it could have been. I began to explain that I had seen something similar two times before. The first time I saw something similar was in my a car with my friend.
It was about 1997 or 1998. We we going down 48th street in Weehawken, NJ on Blvd East that leads to River Rd. We both saw a green light same hight above, (20 or 30 ft), only the ligh was green.
The light looked like those firecrackers that shoot up and pop but this hovered and then zipped away exactly like it did with my wife and made no noise. I saw it again in about May or June, 2008 riding bike with the same friend by the Palisades up by Edgewater, NJ. We had stopped to look at the N.
Y. City skyline after riding up the long hill and both saw the green light hover and zip away. I have never thought of reporting it because everyone takes these reports as a hoax.
I decided to report it after someone mentioned to me that there have been hundreds of reports in this area especially right by my house in North Hudson Braddock Park. I have always known it to be 80th street park.

On my deck looking at ballons in the wind and saw two that did not move in any direction! I Observed some balloons float by with the wind, then observed what looked like balloons that were red and white seemingly attached to each other, but they did not move or float across with the wind. I observed this first for about 5 min, then they disappeared. I went in the house for a few min.
then came out and saw the sighting once again. I was amazed! They looked like balloons, but they did not move across the sky*. I observed the two balloons together again.
They stayed in awkward rotation movement, but did not move in any direction. Then suddenly they detached from each other slowly and seemingly with purpose. They moved away from each other, Both rotated awkwardly in unison shortly.
then disappeared. * During this observation, it was noticeably windy.

Beam shoot towards park While driving home and stopped at a red light on Bergenline avenue, facing east towards the river, I noticed two parallel beams shoot directly down towards the ground on my left. I was taken back but made no mention to my friend who was driving at the time (I was in the passenger seat). At the same time my friend proceeded to look up to the sky and lower the radio.
At this time, I asked if he saw what I saw and he made mention that he only saw one beam. We then drove through the James J Broddock park where the beams looked to have landed, but saw nothing out of the ordinary except an overturned port potty.

triangle spinning It was a clear day talking to a friend sitted facing the artificial lake in the park james bradock, when I notice a dark form over the three line what look like a plastic thras back turns out to be a black triangle with no lights, moving slowly and at low altitute, when I mentioned that to my friend we stood up ,with my afghan dog by the leash after a couple of minutes of my skeptic friend asking what it was almost scare, the other witness got tangled with us,as he was walking and looking at the object at the same time, he was a white male blond, middle age, the comment was that it was probably a radio controlled model, I said I don't think so but it would be cool to have one!!. Me and my friend tried to locate somebody with a camera to no avail. We follow the object, and then in the middle of the lake started to spin slowly on its axis!!, every 3 seconds more less , following and absolutely silent and straight path despite the mild wind moving the trees.
I had the chance to compare against the 2 passenger planes in the horizon,this after the object heading for Manhattan crossing the boulevard east,and the Hudson river, it was completely flat from below no protruding shapes, and absolutely majestic and spooky in its fly solid in the air. I have found that a lady saw it too in Rockland county,and reported it to jeff rense.com, while hiking she described mayan like designs and a hull on top this is because the exact date would be better known this way.

I remember seeing lights over North Bergen, NJ I am watching a show called The Unexplained on Bio. This show is regarding UFO sightings over North Bergen, NJ. If I had not seen this show I would never report or admit to seeing anything flying over anywhere.
In 1997 I was on my porch in North Bergen, NJ with my mother and as we were chatting we seen a group of green lights that suddenly appeared over the street in front of us. If this was a craft we did not see the actual body but the lights (about 8-10 orbs)were lined in a circular formation and perfectly oval shaped. The lights were perfectly stationary for about a minute and then suddenly, whatever it was, tilted on an angle and just as quickly as it appeared it disappeared.
I broke the silence by asking my mother if she saw what just happened and she said it was probably the airport or some type of light show. She was clearly shaken as she started to go inside. Neither explaination my mother gave me seemed reasonable since Newark Airport is miles and miles from North Bergen and light shows after midnight are not likely either, however, seeing UFO's is probably just as silly so ever since we've never talked about it.
I sometimes wonder what that was. Honestly, it is too disturbing to think that there might be someone/thing out there so I don't really think about it often. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information.
