Observer
Name Tim R
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I would say it lasted between 2 and 3 seconds but that isn't a choice on the form. It disappeared in mid-flight before crossing in front of my path while I was driving north of the Garden State Parkway. It seemed to have a slight downward trajectory that may not have have even reached the horizon had it not blinked out. It appeared to be moving from the southwest to the northeast. When I got to work and shared what I saw with colleagues, one of them said she saw it as well. I can ask her to fill out this survey as well if you like. I'm not sure how far she was from me at the time but I'm guessing it was fewer than ten miles.
