National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 4/13/2009 22:00 (Entered as : 4/13/2009 22:00) Reported: 4/15/2009 8:06:09 PM 20:06 Posted: 5/12/2009 Location: Franklin, NJ Shape: Light Duration: 3 days+ Characteristics: There were lights on the object, The object changed color
bright then dim flashing red white green lights - not moving and low in the sky Im not sure what Im seeing - it looks like its over West Milford or possibly Jefferson, I spotted it two days ago and now again tonight. Object is super bright and low in the sky (lower than a normal star) it gets real bright and then dim, when its bright it flashes green white and red. I cant say what shape it is because its pretty far from where Im viewing it. It seems oval but that could be a trick of the light. It doesnt move - I watched it for 10 minutes and then called out a witness to look at it and discuss what it could be. Its not a helicopter or plane. Can it be a star? Do stars become dim (almost invisible) and then bright (brighter than anything in the sky) in a matter of minutes. It seems to be in the same spot no matter what time of night it is. ((NUFORC Note: Sighting of star?? PD))
