NUFORC Sighting 90908

Occurred: 2012-07-14 21:30 Local
Reported: 2012-07-15 15:30 Pacific
Duration: 20 minutes
No of observers: 3

Location: Mantoloking, NJ, USA

Shape: Fireball


Orange balls, fireballs, steady movement

A series of fireball objects in the northwest sky moved from the west the east around 21:30 to 22:00. Movement was steady and slow enough that I had time to get binoculars. Through the binoculars I saw a glowing orange light inside a round object, but neither myself, my mom, or step dad could explain what it was. About ten minutes after the sighting of the first object, a series of three more moved across the sky in a fast succession, also from the southwest to northeast in the northwest area of the sky . I went up on our finished roof and watched them travel to the northeast for several minutes before they disappeared.

I saw one of the exact same objects several weeks ago in the western sky moving from south to north and also had time to view it with binoculars. A few weeks before that, my friends and I saw about 7 of these objects from different origin points while fishing the beach at night.

Keywords of the sighting: orange ball, fireball, sudden appearance, steady movement, several minutes of sighting time, rapid dissipation, multiple witnesses.
