New Jersey - Lights
ATLANTIC CITY – On April 15, 2008, we just witnessed an object off Atlantic City, New Jersey for ten minutes at 6:14 PM, that seemed to have split into five or six pieces within a split second or two. I have operated commercial sea clam vessels off the Atlantic coast for many years and I have never witnessed anything like this. My house overlooks Atlantic City and I enjoy the views with a set of surplus Russian boarder patrol glasses. I am sure of what I just saw and so is my wife. The speed that this object moved was incredible, my glasses are equiped with range finders and I can tell you that nothing that I know of can move like that. About ten minutes after we sighted the object there was a very large tremor that we experienced.
((NUFORC Note: We spoke with this witness via telephone. He is an extremely experienced observer, we believe. He later reported that an FAA employee had informed him that the lights were part of an exercise by the U. S. Air Force. We cannot confirm that latter fact.
New York - Object With Trail Of Sparks
OGDENSBURG — I was outside picking up the kids bikes on April 16, 2008 and it was approx 9:00 PM when I turned around facing southeast. I saw a trail of sparks yellow in color that just appeared out of nowhere. What was strange about it there was no noise and the trail was about a mile long in the sky and then it just disappeared like it imploded. Again the color was goldish yellow and sparkles leaving a trail, it was really cool to see. Was there a meteor shower that no one knew about that night.
