The Lights Above the New Jersey Turnpike (2001)

On July 14, 2001, drivers on the New Jersey Turnpike did just that. For around 15 minutes after midnight, they marveled at the sight of strange orange-and-yellow lights in a V formation over the Arthur Kill Waterway between Staten Island, New York, and Carteret, New Jersey. Carteret Police Department’s Lt. Daniel Tarrant was one of the witnesses, as well as other metro-area residents from the Throgs Neck Bridge on Long Island and Fort Lee, New Jersey near the George Washington Bridge.

Investigators (NY-SPI) claimed to receive FAA radar data that corroborated the UFO sightings from that night.
