SIGHTING: LAVALLETTE, NEW JERSEY (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I am in coastal, rural nj. i watch the sky, and pay attention to the natural world around me. i cannot reiterate enough that i know the night sky well, and how it behaves in this and other environments. i have believed in your phenomenon since as long as i remember, and spend more nights than not, watching. yet have never claimed to see one with my own eyes; keeping myself in check, by being my own skeptic.I've seen strange things, but always can rationalize myself out if it. that said, just wanted to pass this along to you guys, for your research. not much to report, but saw a brilliant star, shining exceptionally bright and dazzling colors, like a diamond in the sky... i cannot confirm, but it may have had some directional change(s), as initially, i had the impression it was coming towards me (upon realizing it was not a star. yet once i grabbed my small telescope, watched it creep across a small section of sky in a 20-25 minute period, seemingly in a straight line towards the name northwest. i found it interesting that i could go out if focus in both directions. not a plane, not a copter, no perceivable noise from my vantage point. probably larger than a plane, but difficult for me to tell. i'd expect you get more reports on this soon...
