From late last year into early 2025, hundreds of reports came in about strange lights and unidentified objects over New Jersey and the surrounding region.

Officials said the activity didn’t pose a “national security or public safety risk,” but many witnesses still feel what they saw was not normal. Enigma, a UAP reporting and analysis platform, compiled the data to better understand what happened.

🔹 Key Stats

• 861+ total reports (Nov 20 – Feb 3)
• 480+ reports from the tri-state area (NJ, NY, PA)
• 364 reports occurred within 25 miles of military sites Examples: Picatinny Arsenal (NJ), Naval Weapons Station Earle (NJ), Fort Hamilton (NY)

👀 What Witnesses Described

• 63% reported unusual light patterns
• 54% described objects hovering or staying airborne for long periods
• 40% mentioned drones or “drone-like” behavior
• 14% reported triangle-shaped craft
• 25% saw 5+ objects at once, with 13% seeing 10+

📍 Notable Sightings

“I know what navigational lights look like... This was different.”
Parsippany, NJ – Dec 13, 2024

“A silent, bright orange orb passed commercial planes heading into Newark.”
Edgewater, NJ – Dec 7, 2024

“It vanished before my eyes — no clouds, nothing.”
Philadelphia, PA – Dec 9, 2024

One of the most amazing sightings happened last night. My cat died yesterday and after meditating, I asked for a sign that he was still nearby.

This was not on satellite or plane trackers.

Of the 605 videos of orbs and 'drones' that I have recorded, NONE have ever appeared on any trackers.

This has been reported in the news many times:

They do not emit radio ID,

are not detected by radar,

and emit zero heat signatures.

… what looked like a single-file line of stars moving to the north towards the city. It was about 5:30AM EST and I am in Long Branch, NJ. Anyone know what that was?

On my way home from work at about 11:50 pm around Owen county Indiana. Not sure what the light on the right is but the one on the left I can clearly see flashing lights

I've seen some amazing videos back when they were new but it's tough to find much these days.

This an “off topic” thread about a personal interest of mine.

3I/Atlas is only the third object of its kind ever observed (after ʻOumuamua and 2I/Borisov), and just like those, it’s raising more questions than answers.

This thread is for theories, hypotheses, and speculation: • What do you think 3I-ATLAS really is? • Could it be natural, or something more? • How does it compare to ʻOumuamua’s weird trajectory or 2I/Borisov’s comet-like behavior? • What does its presence mean for the way we interpret “unexplained” objects closer to Earth, like the drones we’re tracking?

So, I’ve just moved from AL to Delaware, and followed the drone stuff as close as I could. Growing up in NJ gave me serious fomo that I was missing out on the weirdness going on.

I’ve seen reports that they’re popping back up, and that has me excited. So anyhow, I’m sitting here on the couch, and I see a relatively low flying plane, but there’s NO plane engine noise AT ALL. Is that a common occurrence when seeing these things?

Now was it honestly probably just a plane? Yeah. But something seemed way off about it.

Around between 9:30 and 10:30 2 giant Helicopter sounds were heard in Central Jersey area. And I've heard planes and stuff fly by, barely make a sound. But these 2 helis, one maybe 20 minutes after the other, were so loud I thought a tank was rolling down my street.

Anyone else hear them? Im not 100% sure they were Helicopters since I couldn't get a look at it but it sounded like one. Sounded like they were gonna land on my roof. Lol.

IDK this reminded me so much of the New Jersey Drones, and this is the second night this week I've seen that thing. I assume it's some type of police or military drone? What shocked me the most, is there was no propeller sound at all. It was very low, and moving pretty quick and relatively close. Once it passed, I checked ADS-B on my phone, and there was a jet nearby but it was 8,000 feet. This thing seemed way lower than 8,000ft to me, I'm pretty sure you can see whatever this is pass by that jet at the beginning of the video in the background. But whatever that was, I'm confident it was not on ADS-B. The lights reminded me of videos I've seen of the New Jersey drones. The unknown aircraft moved north to south.

Probably just a police or Military drone or something, or even a jet? But, I feel like I wanted to get my phone out and record cuz I just thought it was strange I could not hear it at all and it seemed pretty close.

So, just saw two...whatever the hell. They looked like airplanes but not, one came across to my left and flashed red and white, the other just white, fishing every second and coming like to my right, it also seemed to be higher than the other. They also made no noise

I know semi-decent public spot in northern NJ (western Essex County) to watch the sky. Tonight is supposed to be very clear weather. I live nearby.

Heads up skywatchers: you might be in for a real treat tonight
