| Remarks | Today up in north jersey (ledgewood area on rt.46) driving to work around 12:30-12:40 i saw what looked like someone shot a flare straight down at the ground about a half a mile ahead over the hill near the old hercules explosive facility. it was a bright electrical green color with a straight vertical tail that almost looked white. it went so fast i did a double take, it looked like someone dragging an object with a mouse down a computer screen really fast. i came into work super excited, it just wasn\'t something I have ever seen in the day time. Ive seen flares dropped and shot and ive seen fire works, this was nothing like that. it amazing to witness. |
