Weird. I just posted this but it got deleted.

""It looks like flares attached to balloons," said a caller."

Looks to be just a hoax.

Tiny little flashing lights.

Could be anything.

Bah, it's so easy just to wave it away saying it is balloons with flares on it.

Nowdays, everything that glimmer up in the sky is either a flare on a ballon or a chinease lantern.

Balloons with a flare and lanters does in fact fit into almost every light dot on the sky, unless it goes reaaally fast, then it is a meteor. Could be a sat as well ofc... or an airplain.

But I have to say that these balloons seem to be pretty high up. And then I wonder what planet this is filmed on, cause it seems to be no moving air up there. The 5-6 balloons up there with flares tied to them seem to keep the same distance from eachother the whole time.

Yes I am sarcastic. Mainly cause I am pretty tired to see the "IT'S FLARES!! BALLOONS!!....LANTERNS!!!" as soon as a clip like this shows up where there are factors that shows that it CAN be something else then the ordinary BFL (BalloonFlareLantern).

But ofc, this can be anything. Even balloons....Ahh...crap. I said it.

I think this clip is pretty interesting. Thanks for posting.

YEP!!! UFO!!
I sure couldn't tell for sure what it was, thing that stuck out to me, the larger gapped lights seemed to bank and then go up right, which , for a moment, created a triangular shape with lights going all around it as it did so....

Also, if you watch the transformation of lights blinking on the smaller craft(?) they seem to be signalling each other with random flashes of light for a response...

But one thing is for sure "It wasn't Flares on hot air or helium balloons, it wasn't flah lights on helium balloons, it wasn't a hot air balloon and it definately had "Shape of a Triangle" when the banking starts to happen."
It is much darker than the backround of the sky when this is happening, don't believe me? "Check it out!!"

Great find, star and flag!!

well, the man who walked out onto the patio stated that with his 20 years in aviation he never seen anything like it.. not to mention the discription that the lights actually 'took off' sort of rules out any flare or chinese lantern explanation in my mind.

its windy, and its raining out here in nj. no way that is flares. i just saw the news cast and checked to see if it was posted. its too icy outside for the balloon to stay afloat with a flare attached. this would have come down easily or blown away without a chance for the people to see it.


next explanation please..

Wow! Awesome.. This is right near me.
I have a friend who works at the Morristown Airport..
If I hear anything or see anything I will report.

Im guessing swamp gas or the planet venus

if thats the video, it does not look like flares to me. the formation is also constant and not moving around in this very windy and rainy day.

It is sometimes hard to tell if you see a UFO from the distance since newark airport is right here and planes constantly fly by. I live right under a routine flight route to newark, so i see them every 5 minutes. If this person had not been directly under it, every one else would have thought it was a regular airplane.

Police reported this as flares. no other reports of evidence to support this.
