A hazy wave-shaped, orange and yellow light with a sharply defined white orb hovering bellow it in the skies of NJ

It was around 11:45 when my mother and I stepped out of the Clearview Cinemas in Parsippany, New Jersey. We had just seen the new Woody Allen movie and were talking about what a fun movie it was, when I saw something strange in the sky at 12 o’clock in front of us which would have been to the east. It was this strange glowing light in the middle of a noticeably dark night sky. This bright yellow and orange light had a wave-like shape, curving upward in the center and hazily fading out at its sides.

At first, my mind tried to search for possible explanations. I first looked behind me to see if it could be a reflection of something off the clouds, like the moon perhaps. But I could not find anything that would make sense to give it that color or shape. Then I thought it might be a radio tower or street lamp (It seemed, at first, to be close enough to the ground for these options to be feasible), but the light was too bright and big to be either.

So I pointed the object out to my mom to see what she could come up with. And that’s when the strangest thing happened;

Out from the bottom right of the object appeared a small, highly-defined white orb that just seemed to hover beneath the larger, foggy light. The contrast between the haziness of the yellow and orange light and the sharpness of the defined white orb was incredible, and perplexing. The orb hovered very slowly, and free-flowingly from the bottom right side of the larger light fixture to the bottom left of it, treaded there a moment, then freely moved to the center, bellow the "crest" of the wave-like object.

After staying there a bit it, it then moved to the bottom left again and seemed to go behind the larger light- only to reappear a few moments later at the top right of the "wave" light.

At this point, my mother and I had concluded that it could not have been a plane. The object did not make any noise and the movement was to free and loose- almost as though it were swimming. And all of a sudden, as if I just knew (and I did, I just felt like I knew), I told my mother, "Watch, it’s gonna disappear. Watch it disappear."

Sure enough, a few beats later, the object began to disappear very slowly, from the outside in. And, poof, gone. There was nothing more.

My mother and I tried all night to figure out some sort of explanation to stray away of the conclusion of a UFO, but after talking about all sorts of possibilities, we concluded that there was nothing on earth that either of us had seen in our lifetimes that looked or even resembled what we saw that night in the sky that night. And even the way that orb was moving- there’s nothing in our technology that could allow us to control a craft in that way.

I couldn't believe I wasn't the only one to see this. There were two of us. And after separately (in different rooms) drawing out what we had seen, we confirmed that what we saw that night was exactly the same thing, and it was unlike anything else our eyes had ever witnessed.
