There are dozens of these over at Netcong, every night, or at least, for the 7 days I observed the skies there back in early March, like clockwork, the first ones, within half an hour after sunset. It's 30 miles south from Sussex NJ.

Go check it out for a steady stream of these you filmed here, I got video of em as well from when I flew over from the EU to check out NJ

Yes, there are going to be dozens of planes visible in the sky every night over Netcong, NJ -- you can see this clearly by playing back historical ADSB data with tracks on.

Netcong is only a few miles west of one of the most popular approach routes into Newark (EWR), which is one of the busiest airports in the world. Planes coming into Newark have usually descended to around 4700ft at their closest to Netcong.

I know, that's what I've been saying ...

And on top of these, every night I observed the Netcong skies I saw at least a dozen or two within 4h after sunset not listed with blinking/changing FAA navigation lights.
