Extremely bright light zooming scross the sky just disappears from sight My boyfriend and I were lying on the couch facing 2 different directions. I was facing the wall and he was looking out the window. He was observing some type of white light in the sky moving upwards diagonally at a very rapid speed for about 5 seconds when he informed me to turn around.
When I looked out the window, I too saw a very bright light moving across the sky quite rapidly. After I looked for about 3 seconds the light just disappeared out of the sky. It was too small, moving extremely faster, and not the right shape to be an airplane.
It was also too big/bright of a light to be anything shot up into the sky. Nor was it a comet or shooting star due to the size being too large, the light being too bright, and there was also no tail at all. It was semi-hazy and the sun had just went down not that much prior to the sighting, and nothing outside of our atmosphere could be seen at the time so it was definitely something leaving the planet.
It was a very nerve rattling event, since neither of us had ever seen anything like that before, and it was completely unexplainable.

Huge bright blue slow speed flying disc shape object flew from Palisade Park to Seacaucus seen in NJ 00:45 am. The object flew from the north heading to the south. It also flew at very low altitude also at very low speed.
The object has bright blue light and also has a white flashing light running in one direction on the body of the craft. Comparing to the side of the normal aircraft, it was much much bigger. The craft has a disc shape and only one object was seen in the sky.
I was on the street and the yellow light shined on me. The background of the craft was dark as the object was witness flying over the area of Palisade Park to Sycaucus area in New Jersey.

Pulsating light moving very slowly around the sky. I was sitting in my yard watching the sky for the Perseid meteor shower, when I noticed what I first thought was a dim star moving very slowly and, seemingly, erratically. Sometimes it would move from side to side and then make a full stop for a few seconds before continuing.
I watched it for about ten minutes (trying to comprehend what I was seeing) then ran in to call my brother outside. He looked up and could see it right away. He confirmed that it didn't look or act like any plane or helicopter he'd ever seen, either.
It was very difficult to determine the shape of the object, but to us it seemed either circular or spherical. From what we could see it didn't have lights in the usual sense, but seemed that the object itself was lit. However, it could be that we were unable to see the whole object.
At one point the light was vibrating or dimming and brightening very quickly; my brother said he thought it was changing colors, but I was unable to detect a color change. But we both agreed that it was clearly pulsating. It moved around in a random pattern, almost aimlessly, but always remained within clear view.
After about 40 minutes my brother went back inside and I watched it for a bit longer. I noticed that it moved back and forth several times, as though someone repeatedly driving a car forward and reversing. It began pulsating heavily (the light seemed to be making patterns, but I can't be sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me).
After that it moved into a cloudy area and it became far too overcast to be able to spot it anymore. Just a note: Afterward I thought it might just have been a man-made satellite, some of which are visible to the naked-eye in certain conditions. I read through a lot of information online, but from what I've gathered a satellite's orbit does not match the behavior of this object.
I have no idea what we saw, but I'll be watching the sky far more often.

white and green lite hovering 20 or 30 feet over head. then ziipped away and disapeared after 3 or 5 seconds this looked like a small light. Like a star only flying about 20 or 30 feet over our heads.
I was with my wife and just parked my car by North Hudson (Braddock Park). As we were walking to our apartment we both saw this small light over our heads hovering and then zipped away like a shooting star. Only it was too low and was impossible that it could be a star.
We bothed looked at eachother, and were like, "did you just see that?" We debated on what it could have been. I began to explain that I had seen something similar two times before. The first time I saw something similar was in my a car with my friend.
It was about 1997 or 1998. We we going down 48th street in Weehawken, NJ on Blvd East that leads to River Rd. We both saw a green light same hight above, (20 or 30 ft), only the ligh was green.
The light looked like those firecrackers that shoot up and pop but this hovered and then zipped away exactly like it did with my wife and made no noise. I saw it again in about May or June, 2008 riding bike with the same friend by the Palisades up by Edgewater, NJ. We had stopped to look at the N.
Y. City skyline after riding up the long hill and both saw the green light hover and zip away. I have never thought of reporting it because everyone takes these reports as a hoax.
I decided to report it after someone mentioned to me that there have been hundreds of reports in this area especially right by my house in North Hudson Braddock Park. I have always known it to be 80th street park.
