Cool post. Would like to know what it is that many people all over the world saw, but apparently it never happened because you don't have a picture of it... w/e

Kudos to you for posting anyway. A very cool story with IMO enough proof to say you DID see something. Others on here however require that you have a video, photo, or blood sample for proof. I guess they never learned to read the part about it being a flash of light and think that means it lasted long enough to run into the house and grab some type of filming device... GMAB

Jedi mind tricks do not work on me... "How can you be sure?" Can ANYONE be "SURE" of ANYTHING? Are you SURE that you are not living in a Matrix? Give me YOUR proof...

but what do I know...

I am just glad it wasn't Sirius. We would be in serious trouble!!!

Something similar was reported in my area of North UK by several people in or around the same town last week.

Wish I could have seen this. I live in Philly and I it looks like people reporting it from NJ(like the OP) all the way to Reading. Reading is about an hour from me, jersey is about 40 minutes in the opposite direction. Depending on what part of Jersey he's in he could be anywhere from 40 minutes, to almost 2 or 3 hours away. Which leads me to believe this was obviously seen over a VERY large spectrum. I would say you would expect a lot more sightings with a vast area it seemed to have covered. But the fact that it was at 3 in the morning would most likely explain that I guess.

What i'm getting at is..... Well nothing really. :/

I seen a blue flash matching your description around 3 weeks ago in central scotland....like a camera flash high up above my head,my friend who usually thinks im crazy for beleiving in ufo's etc even turned around and asked me if i seen it too!
