Duration: 2 minutes
No of observers: 3

Location: Island Beach State Park, NJ, USA

Shape: Disk


I saw 3 saucers flying out over the ocean during daylight. They did not spin or make a sound and I will never forget it!

While on a picnic at Island Beach State Park, my mother yelled "Look at that!" and my father and I also witnessed 3 saucers flying in a triangular pattern heading south east out over the ocean. They were high up enough that all that was visible was the underside. It was still daylight out. They appeared to be silvery metal discs/saucers, did not spin, did not make a sound,and disappeared from view at a high rate of speed. I was 11 years old and "bought" my father's explanation that it must be experimental aircraft out of Lakehurst NJ air station. My father never wanted us to talk about it. We never did until I was 20 and came home one day with the announcement that what we must have seen HAD to be a "flying saucer" because no one in this world had ever succeeeded in making an aircraft shaped like a saucer fly. My mother and I each drew a picture of what we saw and our drawings were identical. I have no doubts at all of what I saw nearly 40 years ago. I am an office manager with a CPA firm and respected member of my community and rarely try to convince "non-believers" that it is ludicrous not to take reports of "sightings" seriously.
