Spherical UFO with colors and tails in New Jersey

Summary

In January 1956, a witness in Maywood, New Jersey, observed a round object the size of a medicine ball. They described mixed yellow, blue, and green colors, with several tails extending behind it. The object was sharply outlined and appeared to move northward. The observation lasted about 15 seconds. Although the witness could not accurately estimate distance or speed, the report concluded it might be a meteor. However, the detailed description and unusual features of the object raised some doubts about its nature.
