DAYLIGHT SIGHTING OF AN OVAL SHAPED UFO OVER NEW JERSEY
AUGUST 25, 2014 ……. WEST AMPTON NEW JERSEY
On July 25th, I was driving my car on the NJ Turnpike traveling northbound at approximately 3:30pm. I entered the NJ turnpike on exit 4 and had been driving northbound for approximately 10-30 minutes when I saw a ball/oval shaped object traveling at a high rate of speed directly in front of me in the distance. It ascended very rapidly and made a slight turn which caught my attention, then it traveled directly towards me. As I traveled northbound it traveled southbound directly over the NJ turnpike. Off in the distance was a small airplane carrying one of those big beach advertisements. The object was between me and the plane in the distance (I remember the plane being yellowish or light in color). I would think the plane would have been able to see the object too as it looks like the object originated very close to where the plane was. I did not see any wings on the object, when I saw it I was a bit surprised and didn’t know what it was, I estimate it as about the size of a helicopter although it was a ball shape it had no tail like a helicopter would. I turned my radio down and opened my window as the object quickly approached but I heard no noise as I typically would if it were a helicopter. The whole event from the moment I saw the object until it passed over me was probably no more then 8 seconds, it was very quick. I am the son of a retired pilot. Cars, motorcycle, helicopters, planes, hot-air balloons all interest me and I am familiar with many common shapes and sounds they all make and I can say with confidence I have never seen anything like this. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps it was a large unmanned drone? But I saw no markings on it as well as no way it could fly such as wings or helicopter style blades.

This case is under investigation by State Section Director Ed Dobson of MUFON New Jersey.
