I know this is going to sound crazy... it sounds crazy even as I type it. But, I'm sure that you've heard it all. I swear to you that this is not a hoax or some psycho bullshit. I am a VP of Communications for a bank and I never truly believed in UFOs until my best friend and roommate showed me the video she took last night on my camera.

Last weekend, I saw something strange in the sky, but quickly blew it off because I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. It was stationary... it looked like a very bright star, but every once awhile it looked like it was changing color and glowing a bit red. I asked my friend at the time... do you see that? Is it my eyes? Does that star look like it's glowing red? She dismissed it pretty quickly and said, "Maybe it's Jupiter. Sometimes you can see Jupiter in the night sky." Okay. Sounded plausible to me. So, I stopped looking, continued to enjoy the fire in our firepit in our backyard and didn't think about i! t again.

Well, last night, I wasn't feeling well, so I went to bed early. My friend had one of our other friends over for company and they were out back at the firepit. They were looking at the night sky and commenting on how pretty it was because it was so clear and they could see so many stars. It was then that they saw a bright glowing object that was moving in an odd way. They continued to stare at it and realized that it definitely wasn't a star. It also was not a plane. It looked like it was changing shape slightly and it would get very bright, then start to dim and they could also see the faint changes in color.

She ran into the house to grab my camera. I have an expensive Canon camera that will zoom in 80x. It also takes video. When she zoomed in and started the video, she could not believe what she was seeing. And neither could I. I am still stunned as I type this. It's so hard to describe without you seeing it (we are trying to figure out how to download it from the camera and upload onto YouTube), but the circular light would start to flash colors that weren't visible to the naked eye... you could only see it through the camera lense when it was magnified. It would flash colors and then look like it explodes - or radiates out - dissipates and then forms back into a bright circular light. Almost like some sort of strange emanating force-field or something. It would also move straight up, back down, to the right, the left, etc. It's the most amazing and strangest thing I've ever seen in my life. She caught several of them on camera last night.

She and our other friend started looking early this morning online to see if there were other sightings and they only found one mention... oddly enough, it was happening at the same exact time they made their first sighting. The videos are posted on YouTube from a family in Washington state. You can clearly hear how shocked they were to be seeing what they were seeing. I think they were taking their video from a cell phone and couldn't zoom in nearly as close as we could, so you could see the same type of circular bright light, some of the faint colors, and see it moving, but you couldn't see that weird emanating force-field thing that we experienced. But, other than that, it looked like the same type of thing we were witnessing. This couple (and their child) were seeing the same thing at the same time in Washington that we were experiencing right here in New Jersey.

I swear to you this is a not a joke and we have something really incredible on video tape. We need to figure out a way to get it to you... and we also wanted to ask if you knew of any reputable places that could analyze it. We hesitate to send it to NASA after our research today - especially since apparently last night, they cut their live satellite feed when six unidentified objects flew past it. So, why would they cut the feed? This is all just too strange. And, like I said, I know it sounds crazy. But, I know I'm not crazy. I know what I'm seeing on my own camera and I know what my best friend is telling me that she saw with her own eyes and I believe her. Our friend who was over works for the Department of Agriculture for the State of NJ and he couldn't believe his eyes either. He had never seen anything like it in his entire life and said that he's going to be researching it today with whoever will listen to him and talk to him about it.

All I know is that we saw something.... something that definitely is NOT from this Earth, I can guarantee you that.
