 Unidentified objects appeared as lights in a huge V-type formation moving silently through the air over the New Jersey Turnpike and Arthur Kill Waterway (just south of Newark International Airport). Witnessed by hundreds of onlookers, including police officers and a church reverend, the sighting was reported the next day by every major news organization.  The event was captured on video and also corresponds to a missing-time experience reported by a man in Fort Lee, NJ.
