| Name | Mike A |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Object was close (within a few degrees) to being in line with the flight path of planes lined up coming into Newark Airport. I could see the headlights on the planes lined up facing me as I looked out and at first thought it was a close low flying plane, however, it moved quickly in the direction it was traveling for a few seconds and then disappeared. It appeared to be somewhat low and probably close to the altitude of the planes. |
