8-1-97 NEWARK NEW JERSEY
Witness worked Air Traffic Control for 35 years in the area of NYC and Newark. Witness came from a movie, looked at traffic pattern, saw 2 air planes coming in for approach, then saw this HUGE triangle just sitting in the sky. Witness was about 2 miles from object. Object was so large you could park 5 to 7 747′s on top if it. The size was estimated to be 1/4 to 1/2 mile long. Object was 5 miles due West of NYC pointing towards NYC. Witness checked with surrounding towers and no one picked them up on radar, and no pilot reported seeing anything. Witness plotted area and it was the only safe area to sit in with all the traffic patterns.

I went to Pennsylvania for a weekend vacation. When we were driving back, we took the Ben Franklin Bridge back into NJ. As we were on it, I noticed off to my right there was a stationary object above the water about a mile from my location. The object was also sort of hazy. As a bridge support went by my vision, the object was gone from the area that I originally viewed it. I then saw it approx. 2 miles to the east a second or two later. It once again was stationary. It was in the same position in the air and strangely did not increase or decrease in size even though my distance from it changed. While moving down the highway, it was obscured by trees for a couple seconds, then it was gone when I was able to see it’s location again. I looked all around the area however could not get any other location on it. I remember thinking to tell the other four people in the car with me but for some reason, I didn’t tell anyone about it until later that night. The entire event may have lasted about 10 seconds from start to finish. The object could have been easily seen by anyone in the area due to its location was in a wide open area of the sky over the water. This object should have been recorded on the radar of the Philadelphia Airport. It was well within reach and the area of that airport. Judging by my memory of its location, it was probably closer to the Walt Whitman Bridge than the Ben Franklin Bridge. Even if I was mistaken on this object and it was a plane, the shape was close to a proper “L” shape and to relocate to its second location, the “plane” would have had to be flying backwards. Not possible. This event took place on 04/11/2010 at approx. 3:30 to 4:00 pm est.
NOTE: This witness, Joe Carlin, is an investigator for MUFON in New Jersey.
