Okay here we go.

I think this was two winters ago. They floated, sometimes would briefly hold position. Third time in the past decade I encountered them.

I pulled to the side of the road. Nobody else pulled over or noticed. Encounter lasted maybe 5 minutes. I honestly don't remember.

What do you mean by "encounter lasted maybe 5 minutes"? Where did the lights go after the 5 minutes? From your description these could potentially be military grade illumination flares, which fall very slowly and can burn for several minutes.

From the photos alone it's also hard to rule out distant airplanes with their bright forward landing lights on. When planes are flying towards you they appear to move very slowly and at a distance they appear as single bright orange/yellow glowing spots. Take this example showing 3 airplanes a few miles away:

They could also be drones or helicopters with bright spotlights on. Hard to say with this.","comments":[{"id":48071594,"user":"techteach00","time":1778297926,"time_ago":"9 hours ago","type":"comment","content":"

"Where did the lights go after the 5 minutes".

They just fell out of my sightline. Whether trees or something else. It's fairly urban where I am, always stuff blocking the view. Not like the great plains, desert etc.","comments":[],"comments_count":0,"level":5,"url":"item?id=48071594"}],"comments_count":1,"level":4,"url":"item?id=48066929"},{"id":48069972,"user":"verteu","time":1778282416,"time_ago":"13 hours ago","type":"comment","content":"

Neat, thanks for sharing! I suppose drones are the most likely explanation?","comments":[{"id":48071575,"user":"techteach00","time":1778297711,"time_ago":"9 hours ago","type":"comment","content":"

So this is central New Jersey. And yes they could be literally anything except helicopters or airplanes. I know what those are.

I feel thankful whenever I get to see them though. Just bizarre and different. Hope I get to see them again soon.","comments":[{"id":48071736,"user":"OutOfHere","time":1778299642,"time_ago":"8 hours ago","type":"comment","content":"

If you have good zoom binoculars or a zoom monocular, and a bit of practice, you can zoom in if you can hold it very steady, such at a window sill or against the window itself.","comments":[],"comments_count":0,"level":6,"url":"item?id=48071736"}],"comments_count":1,"level":5,"url":"item?id=48071575"}],"comments_count":2,"level":4,"url":"item?id=48069972"},{"id":48066587,"user":"OutOfHere","time":1778263169,"time_ago":"19 hours ago","type":"comment","content":"

We're seeing two sets of UAPs -- blue on the left and yellow on the right. Were there really two sets when you were looking? Or is one of them a photographic artifact?","comments":[{"id":48066946,"user":"techteach00","time":1778264953,"time_ago":"18 hours ago","type":"comment","content":"
