Appearance / Description of Object(s)Like stars of a somewhat subdued brightness, no discernable color (like stars; perhaps white). The lights were all the same in appearance and together seemed to form what resembled a sort of constellation: * * * * * * * * * SOUTHEAST ----------------->(DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT)----------------->SOUTH Size of Object(s)Relative: 18 inches across and 4 inches tall. Actual: Difficult to approximate without knowing how far it was. It appeared to be outside our atmosphere, therefore, it very well could have been a mile across. Description of Area / SurroundingsI was in the backyard of my house in a small suburban neighborhood on the outskirts of New Jersey, just across from Staten Island, where the lights may very well have been directly over since it was in that direction I was basically facing. This particular area of NJ is known for its many oil refineries and chemical plants. Full Description & DetailsBeing someone who recently stopped smoking, I quickly started to miss going outside and admiring the beauty of the outdoors, in particular at night, as I love to stare at the stars on clear nights. For some reason, smoking a cigarette always seems to be the perfect excuse to go outside, whether it's nice out, pouring, freezing, or snowing. About a month ago I began smoking again and as a result have been going outside more and just admiring the beauty of nature.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?This was absolutely NOT a constellation of stars, planets, birds, or clouds. If this/these were man-made objects, it was definitely not something I've ever seen or heard of. The thought crossed my mind that what I saw may have been some new military aircraft, but it was moving unnaturally fast and coordinated as the spacing of the lights maintained their relative positions with unnatural consistency. Witness BackgroundCurrently unemployed, I'm a musician who's worked many jobs like health food store clerk, flower deliveries, taxi driver, customer service rep, but never had a career. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI have no idea what they are to this day. In the early 1990s I witnessed something even more bizarre which I never reported. I never read much on the topic or even felt drawn to it before my first sighting, though I tend to pay much more attention to the sky, especially at night.
