My husband and I both witnessed a low flying aircraft which seemed to hover in one spot with bright flashing lights.
I live in Howell NJ, and I was at home watching T.V. around midnight in my family room when some flashing lights caught my eye out of the window facing a local farm off of Faifield Rd. The area in my view, was a local sod farm and as such, it is slightly wooded around the edges of the property, but mostly a large clear field along both sides of Fairfield Rd, near the junction of Rt. 33 and Brickyard road. The night was bright due to a full moon, and clear. The flashing lights caught my eye a second time, because unlike the many airplanes that pass overhead in the area, they hovered in one spot as they moved from left to right in sequence. I got up off the couch for a closer look, and began to realize that this craft was flying very low and hovering just above the tree line. It hadn't moved like a plane would have out of my view; in fact, it didn't follow any of the many flight patterns I have come accustomed to seeing with aircraft. The lights were very bright and flashing in sequence, beginning with white or yellowish lights, a bright red light in the center and again towards the other end the same white or yellowish lights. As the lights appeared and disappeared in sequence,they seemed to be rectangular in shape(almost like a row of teeth). Realizing this was not a typical aircraft, I frantically ran to get my husband out of the basement, and he came upstairs quickly! At this time we both stared at the object in amazement, not really sure what we were seeing. He ran outside to get a better view fom our deck. Noticing that it was definately a different type of object, he grabbed the car keys and took off in the direction of Rt.9. I stayed home with the children (alseep in their beds), continuing to look out the window at the object. The object hovered a bit longer, and then began to disappear under the tree line out of my view within a few minutes. I checked the time starting to panic a bit- it was 12:18 am. Before my husband returned,another interesting phenomenon occured. I had been watching a pre-recorded DVR event at the time of the sighting and it seems that for some reason- when I tried to switch to live tv mode, thinking the news may be picking up on the sighting ,it stopped working temporarily (the DVR function was on and it stopped responding). In fact, I had to shut it off and re-start the system to acquire a new satellite signal. My husband returned a little after 12:30. He said, he traveled east towards Rt. 9 in the vicinity of T.G. I. Friday's, but lost sight of it. Having been curious to see if anyone else reported this sighting, I googled Howell NJ and UFO sightings this morning and was shocked that there were two sightings described on NUFORC.com that detalied to the letter, the same exact vicinity we had seen the aircraft!!! I then was convinced I needed to report our sighting. My husband and I both having seen it, and being educated rational adults, we concluded that we can't say for certain what it is we saw, but whatever it was, we agreed that it was : a low flying craft, the lights were many more and quite larger than on a regular airplane or helicopter, and amazingly it hovered (seeming to float) in one spot much like a helicopter would but silently!! Intestingly enough, speaking to my aunt this morning (on an unrelated topic), who lives a few towns over in Monroe NJ, she commented that last evening the whole area lost cable t.v. power and it had not yet been restored today. After she told me about the outage, I looked online for a connection between sightings and power outages, and found quite a few interesting instances. There was also an interesting connection between sightings and military installations and or nulear weapons satations. I didn't mention what we saw to her or to anyone else, because it is difficult to describe such an event to people since most are skeptics (including myself, until last night and more so after reading those other two entries describing the same spot!!!). It was definately an interesting experience, one I will never forget! I know now, that I will no longer hold the skeptics viewpoint, but can with confidence believe that something other than what is known to us publically, can hover over an area silently and more or less fly without a known flight path. Perhaps our technology is evolving. We live near a few military installations and this could be an aircraft that is under the classified testing phase and has yet to be revealed! Who knows- however, as I mentioned earlier, my husband and I both witnessed the event and we can state with confidence that the object followed no known flight pattern, and was hovering, or moving slowly and much lower than any other known aircraft, and what we saw- we had never seen before!
