CyberCilypudi4 Videos of the red flashing lights and interviews.Chris Russo and a friend were driving in Hanover when something passed overhead, five red lights flying in formation. They watched the lights ascend and descend, Russo said, and took photographs and a video to prove they had seen something out of the ordinary, something that seemed almost magical.But was it ET?Im not jumping to conclusions, Russo, 29, of Morris Plains, said Wednesday. I have no idea what it was. Whatever it was, it was jaw dropping and amazing. Im not saying it was extraterrestrial.Rus so was among dozens of people who called police or the Daily Record to say they saw five red lights in the sky in the vicinity of Hanover Avenue or the Morristown Airport that appeared to be staying in formation before apparently flying away on Monday night.Morristown Police Chief Peter Demnitz said the lights likely were an elaborate hoax created by someone using road flares and balloons.Benjamin Radford, an investigator with Skeptical Inquirer magazine who has examined UFO sightings in various parts of the country, said it appeared to be the same kind of hoax perpetrated in Phoenix last year. In that case, he said the hoaxer admitted using flares attached to balloons.It sounds identical to me, he said.Morristown Police Lt. Jim Cullen said in a police report that the lights appeared to be swaying from side to side, as if suspended from something, and were the same color as road flares used by law enforcement. He alerted Morristown Airport about a possible hazard to airplanes. Airport control tower workers saw what appeared to be weather balloons, according to the report.Then two of the lights blinked out as they floated away, like flares going out.Demnitz said police dont plan to pursue the matter, although he added hoaxers could face a disorderly persons charge if it was determined they created a dangerous situation. Cullen, in the police report, said other towns were notified to expect calls about UFOs and also to be aware of a possible fire hazard passing overhead as the lights traveled east.The report said the lights, whatever they were, appeared to have been launched from the vicinity of the Mennen Arena in Morris Township, based on reported sightings and the direction they were heading.For some Morris County residents, they provided a bit of excitement, a mystery to puzzle over.Maria DAndrea said she was on her way home in Hanover at 8:20 p.m. when she saw five lights traveling together. I called my neighbor because I thought I was crazy, she said. It was a little bit freaky.She said the neighbor confirmed what she had seen, lights moving slowly to the east. DAndrea said they seemed to be floating.Robert Giaquinta, 39, of Sparta, was in Harding when he saw the lights a little after 8:30 p.m. He said they looked like they were attached to a radio tower ? except there was no tower where he was looking. He called his mother in Parsippany, who told him she also was able to see the lights.I was struck by how perfectly spaced they were, Giaquinta said.George Van Orden, Hanovers health officer, said he saw the lights while walking his dog in Madison at 8:38 p.m. He said he only saw three lights, and they appeared to be over the Exxon property. He said they didnt appear to be flares because they didnt leave trails. He also said they sometimes appeared to move against the wind.These things were moving fast, holding formation, and then moving in three different directions, Van Orden said. I dont know what it was.Tom Bender, 36, of Morristown said he went outside after his wife alerted him to the lights. He said they were in an L-shaped formation and two of them appeared to be oscillating. He said he didnt believe in UFOs but added that the lights he saw didnt seem man-made.No way this could have been weather balloons, he said. They wouldnt have been able to be stationary.Russos video shows the lights moving together, remaining a fixed distance from one another. Radford said that effect could be achieved by attaching flares to plastic piping and suspending the whole apparatus from balloons. He said it most likely wont ever be found because its probably somewhere over the Atlantic (Ocean).Its plausible, this balloon business, said DAndrea.Other observers said that at times the lights seemed to move in separate directions. Radford said its natural for witnesses to have disparate memories, and its difficult to judge distance or direction of lights moving across the night sky.The most logical explanation, Radford said, is the least exciting.
