Size of Object(s)50 feet wide, 40 feet long (???) Distance to Object(s) & Altitude500-600 feet Shape of Object(s)boomerang Color of Object(s):couldn't really tell Full Description & DetailsNoticed 2 large bright lights approaching me as I was proceeding up Ganttown Rd at intersection of Egg Harbor Rd. This object was at my approx. 10 o' clock position while I was waiting for the red light to change (I was now stopped). While waiting for the light to change I noticed that this "thing" didn't appear to be moving. It seemed too big and too low to be landing or taking off (Cross Keys Airport within 5-6 miles) and the lights, although very bright, didn't defract at all--I have very bad astigmatism and most light sources to me are very defractive in nature (not crisply defined) and are more starburst in appearance. These lights however were perfectly shaped and round. I thought to myself that this "plane" was maybe a helicopter hovering but when the traffic light changed green and I went forward, I started to notice the 2 lights were actually 4 lights. The road bends to the left thereby gaining a better side view of this object where it remained. As I approached from this angle I was then enlightened to the fact that there were also 2 more "perfect" lights on the rear section plus 2 beautiful red lights at the rear-somewhat inset it seemed-and the red ones were very slowing "pulsing". Not blinking, not strobing like conventional aircraft, mind you--just pulsing. Alternating every 1-2 seconds. As the object now became more visible to me at my 9 o'clock position I was so in amazement that I literally stopped my vechicle in the middle of the road. This thing was about 1/4 mile away, again only about 500-800 feet above ground and not moving. I rolled down my window to see if I could hear any rotor blade noise ( I was now thinking it must be a helicopter because it was just perfectly still) but it was whisper quiet. I was waiting for another car to pass to gain their attention but much to my amazement---honest to God---no one else was around. I could see other cars on the next cross street (Hurfville-Cross Keys Rd) but none came down or up Ganttown Rd. at this time. I stayed in observation for at least 30-40 seconds when all of a sudden this thing lept forward (with respect to its flight direction) at least 1/4-1/2 mile and slightly away from me (to its right) within a 1/2 a second !! This scared the living Hell out of me such that I screamed "oh shit!", put my truck in gear and sped toward the next intersection. I had a green light, made my left and knew that within a 1/8 mile I would be able to observe this thing from the rear because there was a good sightline that way. I sure enough saw it a good 1/2 mile away, still at the same perceived height, red rear lights slowly pulsing and then I had to make the right hand turn on Altair Drive into my development. I proceeded down Altair drive, a tall-tree lined street with some slight bends/curves while literally shaking with fear, excitement, etc. when all of a sudden this same object (or looked to be the same)
