Duration: 1.5 hours
No of observers: 2

Location: Marlton, NJ, USA

Shape: Diamond
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Diamond shaped object with red and green flashing lights.

I noticed a very bright light in the southern sky, quite low. I observed for maybe 30 seconds, and asked the other person what that light was. The pattern was diamond-shaped, with approximately 5-6 lights, the top one being very bright. The object was still and there was no sound (like a jet or helicopter sound). We observed this for about 2 -3 minutes. Suddenly, the object moved in a westerly direction and the lights changed to green and began flashing in a sort of chasing pattern. Then they changed to red and green, then all red-still chasing/flashing.

The object moved very quickly to the west and disappeared from view. I went to the front of my house and observed it still moving to the west-crossing Route 70. This all happened in about a five minute time span.

About 10 minutes went by and the object returned and again, remained still. We observed this for about 2-3 minutes and then the lights changed again to red and green, and the object farted off in a north lay direction.
