Background

From 10:50 p.m. to 3:47 a.m. crews of several USAF F-94 jet interceptors from Dover AFB, Delaware, made 13 visual sightings and one radar tracking of blue-white lights around Trenton, New Jersey. Ground observers and F-94 pilots saw white, green and blue lights moving in arcs and blinking out suddenly. One F-94 crew got a radar lock-on from 30,000 feet away on an object the size of an F-94; at 9,000 feet distance the object made a sharp right turn, suddenly dropped and disappeared. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
