Intresting it reminds me of a similar story of a crash of the coast of South Africa either last year or 2005.

Whatever happened was witnessed by plenty of folk and to this day I still dont beleive an explanation as been given, instead the matter was swept under the carpet and I guess a simliar situation will occur with this incident.

Will certainly keep an eye on this and see how it develops.

Great post

I live in South Africa and I heard nothing of a crash?! I try to keep my ear to the ground on the topic and heard zilch about a crash!

Could you eloborate? any links to the story?



I can only hope we can get some real info out of this before its all gone!

The whole thing about weather radar's picking up stuff isn't that far fetched, other countries have been using Doppler radar to track stealth aircraft for years.

Also, if it were fragments or rocks, wouldn't they be extinguished rather quickly? The reports of "Boats on fire" Seem to suggest people saw something on or just below the surface. If it were a meteor. wouldn't it be cooled quickly enough to stop glowing in the water?

The rare Aurigid meteor shower - which produces blue and green lights - was expected to take place last night, and may have been to blame.

Highest probability is meteor impact.

The debris, if it exists, could be unrelated.

However, during a meteor shower would be a great time to fly an exotic aircraft. Terrestrial or otherwise.

Okay- I saw this thread and I have only read the first post...

I HAD to post my observations just because I am too darn
adrenaline-drenched...

I was driving from AC (Trump's Taj, you know, playing Hold 'Em)
and it was about 9:30 I think as I drove due SOUTH on
the Garden State Parkway.

Funny enough- I was listening to COAST TO COAST,
which I never do...

Two things occured...

As I looked straight forward at the southern sky, I saw random
"stars" or lights, blink on and off- appear and reappear.

Weird, but not groundbreaking.

Then I saw at least ONE shooting star- whatever that really was.

Then, one of the stationary stars I was observing turning off
and on this whole time suddenly moves in a straight line
east to west. It was way too high to be a plane, and the lights
on it did not flash- there were no lights.

Then is was gone.

By now, I am at my exit.

I go East on Avalon Blvd towards the beach.

Here is the crazy/ordinary part.

Only way I can describe it...

The MOON was at the horizon, like a sunrise or something,
directly over the Atlantic Ocean. I would say it was a little
north of Avalon- like Sea Isle I think.

But the weird part was this-

IT WAS THE BIGGEST I EVER SAW THE MOON-
and I have seen 36 years of moons in my life.

It was TOTALLY ORANGE, and there was slow moving
black shapes (sort of like clouds, but not)
and frankly, the whole thing really looked
like JUPITER off the NJ coast.

I was freaked out.

I got home, and I did not have a camera.

Now I need to read this entire thread- but wow-
somehow I must think this is all connected-
because that was NOT normal.

If you post me a link to that picture in UFO Digest,
I will certainly check it out right away!


Thanks for the comment!

TPM

ABSOLUTELY WHAT I SAW!

The pics in UFO Digest were very blurry-
so it's funny- I will never forget
how clear, huge, orange and amazing it was...

And yeah- I describe it was the moon-
cause it is the only reference point to explain it.

I hope SOMEONE took a pic-
or just saw it and can confirm!

I am going outside now to.... look up!

I have no facts to back this up but from the reaction ( or lack thereof ) it almost sounds like it could have been an old KH10/11 spy satellite or something along those lines

Do you think it would've even received as much publicity as it did, if it were? Unless someone is losing their job for mis-queuing the re-entry.

Still with TPM on this. He describes what I saw; very clear sharp detail (no fuzzy pics) but a featureless surface.

Ketzer,
Took me a moment to pick it out but it looks like it might fit the Isreali images. Mine was featureless, but I'm still a believer.

ive been away from this site for awhile but had to come back to search for this thread specifically. i work on the boardwalk in point pleasant, near manasquan and seaside, and my manager brought this to my attention as it happened.

he got a text from his girlfriend saying that there was a fireball of some sort over the ocean, and had no idea what it could be. This was interesting to me and no one else seemed to hear or see anything. We put the news on and as time passed i glanced at it and saw them breaking the story so i went and listened. they reported that reports of a large fireball and/or both red and blue lights were spotted. They were seen to fall from the sky and land on the water. the lights were seen to still be on top of the water for a short time, and they also said it appeared to come down at less than a 45 degree angle. Similar things were seen they said as far away as north carolina. They also said that the FAA stated that there was no unaccounted aircraft in the area. This was from the channel 6 news.

this immediately made me think of UFOs and made me even thing of all the recent movies that started like that like transformers and the invasion and the upcoming AvP requiem.

Im really interested in what this might be and not much is coming up with simple searches. the fact that its so close to where i work and live makes me all the more interested in what this was.
