| Remarks | It was an object over the NY TriState Area (NJ) at approximately 7:00 pm, Thursday, December 1, 2011. There were several plains in the sky at the time as the obect appeared and travelled for about 3 seconds before disappearing in darkness. The object was as bright as Venus and travelled down at an angle of approximately 35 degrees relative to the vertical. I\'ve never seen any object travel at this angle, speed or luminosity in my 52 years in the Northeast! Keep looking up! |
