Minotola, New Jersey sightings report

A very interesting sighting was reported to me at the beginning of February 1998 by a witness in Minotola, New Jersey. After an initial telephone call, the witness forwarded to me a full written account of his sighting together with the picture which appears adjacent to this text.

His letter dated February 12th, 1998 details his sighting of February 9th, 1998: "I was walking back home from my neighbor's home about 3:10 p.m. when I noticed a bright object coming out of the north sky which looked somewhat different than a normal plane or jet. I watched it for a couple of minutes and the closer it got to me the more confusing it was. I went into my house and got a pair of 7 x 35 binoculars and viewed it through them.

My first impression was that it might be a large white bird, possibly an Egret. It was white with a faint tint of black on the edges. I watched it or a few seconds and was going to dismiss it as that, but then the object seemed to turn and reflect the sun with a very bright glare. I immediately went back into the house and put a 200mm lens on my camera an went back out and at this time it was almost directly overhead.

I had time to take two pictures, and seeing that I was still unable to make out what it was I went back inside and brought out my son's telescope. I noticed at that time there was a passenger jet which seemed to be passing above the object in a southwest direction. I then viewed the object through the eyepiece.

My first impression was that it seemed to be a group of black and white balloons, but it was high in the air. I looked back into the eye piece and focused in on them and then I saw that it was not balloons. There was one large pearl black object attached to a frame that extended back and had two larger round flat objects on each side of the frame, the sides of which were charcoal colored. In front of the first black object, which may be part of the frame, was an extended section resembling half of an arrowhead. It was only visible for about two to three minutes. It was traveling at a steady even pace from north to southeast. The entire episode took only about eight minutes and then it was out of view."

This witness contacted McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey and discussed what he had seen with an Air Force representative there. The Air Force was apparently extremely interested in the photographs this witness may have taken of this object and asked him to bring the film to them. He did not bring his film to the Air Force and has been working on getting the pictures developed and enlarged to enable the best possible view of this object.

 

Lynn Taylor: Alien and UFO Reports

The story does not end here. The witness telephoned me again on Wednesday, February 25th, 1998. To his astonishment, he had been watching the television show "Sightings" on February 24th, the previous evening, and had seen a video clip from Mexico of the exact same object that he had witnessed fly over his home on February 9th!

I personally contacted the National Weather Service in Mobile, Alabama after the witness' initial telephone call to inquire as to the possibility of this being a weather balloon. I described the object from the witness' drawing and was told by the representative of the National Weather Service with whom I spoke that it was "unlike any weather balloon I have ever seen." Authorities also rule out the object being the Space Shuttle or a satellite.

The witness himself contacted Nellis Air Force Base, which was mentioned in the report on the Sightings show. He states that the Air Force representative he spoke with there said that they were very interested in this object and particularly to hear that this witness could describe some of the superstructure of the object which, he was told, had not been visible before.

The witness and myself are extremely interested in why the Air Force are so anxious for information about this object. If there are any other witnesses to this object reading this report, or anyone who could provide any more information about it, please contact me at the address shown below. This is a very unusual object and a very interesting sighting which definitely warrants deeper and further investigation.

I am hoping to show this witness' drawing and discuss the video from Mexico with Jaime Mausson, the researcher from Mexico who will be attending the upcoming Project Awareness Conference in March on Pensacola Beach. He may be able to provide more information regarding the video which the Sightings show apparently stated was "smuggled" out of Mexico. I have also contacted the Sightings show via e-mail regarding this situation and am awaiting a response.
