Hey everyone, I had an absolutely wild experience this morning (Sunday) around 6 am. I feel like I need to share this and see if anyone else in the area witnessed what I saw. For context, the past couple of days have been extremely stormy with winds reaching up to 90 mph at times. We’re used to stormy weather here, but this was on another level—howling winds, car alarms going off, fallen trees, destroyed fences and banging noises everywhere.

My girlfriend and I were still in bed when we woke up due to the noise from the storm. She went to the bathroom while I was still trying to wake up. Suddenly, we both heard an incredibly loud sound, louder than the storm itself, and it was unlike anything I’ve ever heard before.

The best way I can describe the sound is like a massive object moving through the air, something like a missile or low-pitched humming. Something was cutting throught the air. It kept getting louder and deeper, and I immediately jumped out of bed, thinking something catastrophic was happening. With the war in Ukraine in the back of my mind, I genuinely thought it could be a plane falling out of the sky or even a missile. But this sound was nothing like a normal descending plane.

I rushed to the window, opened the blind, and saw it clearly despite the awful weather and darkness. It was a massive triangular craft about 100-150 meters above the ground. The shape was distinct, with wide angles and equal sides. Each corner of the triangle had a red light, and there was a larger light in the center too. Additionally, there were two whitish-yellow lights along each edge between the corners (six in total).

The craft seemed to be struggling to stay in the air and was rotating while descending. It was unlike any plane or helicopter I’ve ever seen or heard. The sound alone was so unusual—nothing like the planes we see regularly here, being so close to Stansted Airport. Within seconds, it disappeared behind the tree line near the town park. The whole sighting lasted less than 10 seconds, and before I even had the chance to grab my phone, it was gone. My brain just tried to process it all and register every detail. I wasn't even thinking about grabbing my phone. It occurred to me just after.

I said loudly, “What... The... F!”. My girlfriend rushed from the bathroom asking what happened. When I told her I thought I saw a UFO, she didn’t judge me at all. She even checked the Skyscanner app to see if there were any planes above us. There weren’t. The closest plane was miles away over Sawbridgeworth, and given the weather conditions, many flights were grounded or delayed anyway. There’s no way this was a normal aircraft. I’m convinced it was something else—maybe a secret military craft like the TR-3B “Black Manta,” or something similar, that was having trouble staying in the air.

I can’t stop thinking about it, and I’m wondering if anyone else in Harlow or the surrounding areas saw or heard anything unusual. Please let me know if you did—I can’t be the only one who saw this!

Many people have been acting on the premise that we cannot identify these unknown aircraft because it’ll be an act of war.

It’s an act of war if identify them as a specific foreign adversary?

How is that when we allowed China to conduct surveillance on our military installations, critical infrastructure, and even nuclear facilities just to organize a strategic shoot down, and publicly tell the world it was the Chinese?

These “drones” over New Jersey have strategically conducted surveillance on sensitive sites for weeks, and one NJ Mayor publicly stated they have had knowledge of the same surveillance for over a year and that the sightings are only increasing.

“These are ours, advanced military tests”

Ok…just like the same unidentified aircraft that put our Naval combat pilots at risk. Did we forgot a medical life flight helicopter with a patient was also put at risk over New Jersey and these “drones” routinely violate federal air space. Why would we not communicate with local law enforcement and waste your tax dollars with response?

If you completely rely on your government for protection, you’re in for a rude awakening.

Let’s face it, there is nothing that the United States Government can do for you. You cannot be promised full protection.

It’s even more terrifying if this is a foreign threat like China or Russia and we further cannot offer you protection.

Good luck

Curious to hear folks comment on why CNN has one Facebook article on the NJ UAP situation when other news outlets all have legitimate articles and are searchable on their website.

Searching “New Jersey drone” across Google, NBC, Yahoo, New York Times, etc., all show their articles. CNN shows zero results when you search their website and Google just shows one Facebook post on it.

One of CNN’s headquarters is in NYC. It’s a story covered by all major news outlets and it was commented on by government officials and the FBI— yet there’s no mention of it on their website.

Regardless of what the UAPs actually are, I’m curious if anyone thinks it’s odd that CNN isn’t covering it the same. WDYT?

As many have pointed out there was an event at Round Valley Reservoir yesterday evening. The people who posted about it did not seem to know what was going on and gave up on investigating. many people said it was downed and recovered or there was a recovery effort or that they couldn’t confirm a drone. All of this is far from true. It was an interception and then retreat due to losing the target. but they gave up too quickly because after the helicopter left we stayed and the drones kept coming. My wife and I both witnessed the drone in the spotlight hovering underneath the helicopter over the reservoir while we were driving on i78 near Round Valley. We started filming after the drone descended lower towards the lake so it was hard to get a good shot of the helicopter and the drone together as the town and forest went in the way. We turned around and drove to Round Valley boat dock as the helicopter left. There was a bunch more drone activity which I documented all of with videos and some pictures in this X thread. It was a wild night with many people in the lot all watching things unfold together. Enjoy the thread.

My wife & I have had this same thing told to us by three different people. None of which know each other. Without going into who they are (who they are is meaningless), this is what they each told us...

Over the period of two days, they had each witnessed convoys of unmarked tractor trailers being escorted by several state police. They were driving on local roads through NY's Hudson Valley headed south. My wife also seen a report that had been posted on the Dutchess County Dispatch website. When she went on to show me the posting, it had been completely removed with no reference to it at all. All three people said they encountered this convoy in the very early morning hours (4-5am).

I just find it odd as I have been living in the Hudson Valley my entire life and never recall sering convoys of unmarked tractor trailers escorted by state police. What I find even stranger is that these convoys are going through at this particular time, with all the "drone" activity.

Ironically, the one person spotted this convoy very near the location where I had seen a V shaped craft back in the late 1980s.

Anyway, like I said, it's probably got nothing to do with anything, but I figured I'd just post it in case someone here knows more than I do.

This shows the orange orb pulsing for over a minute then changing to a plane shape that looks funky. This was crazy to me because it reminded me EXACTLY of the 13 year old post where the orange orb pulses then changed to a plane shape. This is the most intense feeling I’ve felt while seeing something unknown before.

This is from about 30 minutes prior where an orb pulses then disappeared. I didn’t notice until I watched the video today that the orb is still visible but the “light” turned off. I saw one do this maybe 10 minutes before so I had my phone on video mode ready to go for any others.

Edit: everyone is seeing the orange orb that “grows” lights but no one is seemingly checking out the video from 30 mins prior where there’s another orb that just disappears.

Hey r/UFOs! Long-time lurker.

*New account made for this project.

Like many of you, I’m tired of shaky phone videos that lack context and supporting evidence. (I say I’m tired of it but I still get excited seeing some of it). To address this, I’ve started a project creating an automated system to capture high-quality UFO data with multiple forms of verification.

Why This Matters:

• Most UFO footage is low quality and lacks supporting data, making it hard to verify or analyze.
• With multiple data points (video, EM fields, thermal imaging, etc.), we can establish patterns and eliminate false positives.
• The system runs 24/7, capturing anomalies that human observers might miss.

When a potential unidentified object is detected, the system will:

1. Record high-resolution footage from initial detection to departure.
2. Cross-reference with real-time flight data via FlightAware and ADS-B Exchange to rule out known aircraft.
3. Generate a comprehensive event package with timestamp-matched sensor readings, weather conditions, and more.

Each event will be stored in its own uniquely tagged folder, making it easy to analyze patterns and share findings.

Core Components:

• 4K Reolink PTZ Camera 360 degree: Mounted upside-down for a full view of the sky with AI object detection powered by YOLO.
• RM3100 Magnetometer: For detecting electromagnetic anomalies.
• Thermal Imaging Camera: Adds thermal verification to detections.
• LoRa Receiver: Links magnetic anomalies to approximate sky reference points.
• Raspberry Pi 4: Runs the entire system, manages data collection, and performs real-time analysis.

What Makes This System Unique?

1.  Multi-sensor approach: Not just video, but electromagnetic and thermal data for better verification.
2.  AI-powered detection: Reduces human error and bias.
3.  24/7 operation: Ensures no object goes unnoticed.
4.  Open data sharing: All findings will be posted here, raw and unedited, for transparency.

Progress So Far:

• ✅ Base system assembled and weatherproofed.
• ✅ Basic object detection working.
• 🔄 Magnetic sensor calibration in progress.
• 🔄 Initial test runs underway.

Next Steps:

1.  Adding a smart telescope with auto-tracking to zoom in on detected objects.
2.  Implementing machine learning for pattern recognition.
3.  Setting up a public data repository for all findings.

Community Input Needed:

This is still a work in progress, and I’m learning as I go. If anyone has expertise in:

1. Optimizing Raspberry Pi programming for multi-sensor systems.
2. Integrating sensors and syncing data for better correlation.
3. Data analysis methods for anomaly detection.
4. I’d like the community to name this project. “SkyWatch” or something haha? I’d like the community to decide since it’s supposed to be for everyone. (Including me obviously).

Please feel free to comment or message me. I’ll share any interesting findings right here on the subreddit. Also, I live in NJ.

Just wondering if anyone in the area could shed some light on whether the drone sightings have stopped now or they’re still ongoing?

I haven’t seen many developments pertaining to the UK, the focus seems to be entirely on New Jersey now.

Or if anyone outside of the area has read or seen anything?

Thank you!

Reposting because submission was too short.

This was from last night in Ocean County from the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office. It was reported by News 12.

It looks like they’re no closer to figuring this out; it’s very strange that law enforcement is entirely stumped by this. Still worthwhile reading as it presents some new information.
