Former Air Force Employee Captures Four F-16s Chasing Something—Zoomed-In Footage Shows a Glowing Object That’s No Drone (VIDEO)
A stunning and mysterious sight over New Jersey has left residents scratching their heads and UFO enthusiasts buzzing with excitement. Just hours ago, a former Air Force employee living near Atlantic City captured incredible footage of four F-16 fighter jets chasing an unidentified glowing object in the night sky.
The witness, who has extensive knowledge of aircraft and drones from his Air Force experience, described seeing a brilliant orb hovering approximately 25,000 feet in the air. “It was moving slowly toward my house, then suddenly changed direction,” he said. “It stayed visible for about an hour and a half before disappearing.”
The glowing object, which the former military worker insists was not a drone or standard aircraft, has been captured in both photos and video. The unedited footage, taken on a Samsung phone, shows the strange orb radiating an intense light as it moved through the sky.

Here’s another pic of the object. This one is also unedited but is cropped/ zoomed in slightly.
“This wasn’t any kind of drone or plane I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen plenty. If I had to guess, I’d say it could be a high-altitude balloon, but even that feels like a stretch,” the witness added.
The incident comes amid growing public interest in unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) and increasing government transparency around such sightings. But for those who saw it firsthand, this glowing object is far from explained.
