| Description | While driving north on Delaware Route 1, near the Delaware City refinery and Salem Nuclear Power Station, a retired RN and their wife observed an extremely dark, square/rectangular object resembling a shipping container hovering at treetop level over an open field. This object, described as larger than a full moon and having a unique Z-shape, was stationary and exhibited no lights, sound, propulsion, or any advanced capabilities. The witness noted its striking black color and how it stood out even as they drove away. |
