Un-earthly object descends from sky

At 6:15 pm on May 6, 2004, as my cousin and I sat on my back porch, we witnessed an object slowly coming down towards earth. It kept changing it's shape as it more or less "floated" or "tumbled" down. I estimate its size to be as big as Jeep. I first noticed the object because it flashed in the sun-light and appeared to be a diamond shaped flash of light. I pointed toward the object and my cousin said "I see it too". I stepped into the house and got my binoculars which are designed for astronomical use and was able to locate the object again and followed it with my binoculars. It was a disc-like rounded shaped object with pewter/metallic on one side and as it rolled over and over, I could see that it was black with ridges on the other side and resembled the underside of a garden variety mushroom.

We were astounded by this object. It made no sound. It continued to descend down toward the tree line until it disappeared behind it. I assume it must have landed or "something" a mile or two from me although I haven't heard a word about it on the news. I live near the airport and there were typical commercial aircraft flying high above this object. It was not anything of this earth and certainly not man-made. McGuire nuclear plant is located about 15 miles north of the sighting.
