Hello! I'm positive this will be ridiculed but whatever. I live on the east coast next to a large government facility with its own air field. I am actually a chemist at said airfield, so while I am not a pilot, I do have plenty of experience with aircraft. I am currently in the middle of some really awful medical issues and I can't sleep very well. Last night at 4 am I was outside and noticed several stationary flashing lights in the sky. One was directly overhead of me. It was a bright orange and appeared relatively low, not like the light of a distant star. It actually seemed to my eye to be two separate but very close together lights. I got my camera out to try to zoom in to get a better view of it and out of nowhere I see what I just assumed to be a plane passing by but I decided to record it anyway. I had been looking at the orange ball for several minutes and I am positive the moving light didn't gradually appear, it straight just showed up insanely bright in my vision which is when I started to record. This was during 40 mph winds so I can't say for sure, but it didn't seem to make any noise passing over. I went to sleep just thinking it was a plane.

I 100% would have thought nothing of this today except I had just been reading this book from the 1970s entitled "Operation Trojan Horse" which goes into detail on various UFO sightings through history. There was a specific chapter (7: Unidentified Airplanes) that matches very closely with the recent NJ sightings, so I just decided to do a small bit of research on what I had seen overhead last night. (Link to book pdf: [https://galaksija.info/literatura/jk\_oth.pdf](https://galaksija.info/literatura/jk_oth.pdf) )

I used a flight tracker to see air traffic over my location at the time and there was only one that was anywhere even close; an Airbus A320 aircraft that was headed in a north east, mostly north direction. I took a compass back out to the spot I recorded the video from and determined the craft was moving in a similar direction, but was a solid 30° more east than the flight path in the tracker. Ok, that's surely fairly close, certainly not such an odd direction to think it couldn't still be that flight. So I look up the airbus A320 lights and find some really good informational videos for the lights of this plane. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBdgpNamsXk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBdgpNamsXk)

This is where I start to think something isn't lining up. You can see in the ending of the video when I zoom in that it is clearly a plane shaped craft with 3 lights roughly where you'd think they should be. The problem is they clearly don't follow the established patterns for the lights of this plane. You can clear as day in the ending see that the wing tip lights are alternating colors. These lights are literally meant to be direction markers and are ALWAYS red on left and green on the right. But the lights on the wing tips here are flashing different colors, and some of the lights that we see shouldn't even be on in this state based on the videos above.

The clearly multi color lights on the wings is a HUGE no go for planes. But this thing was absolutely booking it, at 4 am in the middle of nowhere, in 50 mph winds and heading straight over the ocean on a flight path that doesn't match any air traffic for the time. That just doesn't seem realistic that this is some insanely large drone. It isn't on the video here but I also did see another plane near this same time and heading in the direction of the flight in the tracking. I've seen hundreds if not thousands of planes in this area, and the one I recorded just didn't look or behave like any that I can recall. This was not recorded through glass or any other medium. I honestly only went through this exercise to try to practice what I would do if I saw something I found odd. I didn't actually think I would find anything off when I started this but the ending of the video when I am zoomed in and the lights are clearly not right... just feels off. Sorry the quality sucks, I will try to get something better next time I see something.
