Size of Object(s)? Distance to Object(s) & Altitude? Shape of Object(s)disc Color of Object(s):blinking, rotating, red lights Full Description & DetailsI was living in the Edgewater Beach Apartments at the time, located at Edgewater Park, NJ. I was sitting on my balcony looking at the sky. It was after dark but I don't remember what time it was. I know it was early in the evening (maybe between 8 and 10 p.m.) The object was round. I could not see the object itself, but I observed a circle of red lights rotating (I believe clockwise). The lights were blinking on and off as the object rotated. The strange thing was that is did not move smoothly as an aircraft would, but sort of bounced as it moved across my line of vision. I believe it was moving east to west but I'm not good with directions. It passed my line of vision from right to left and dissapeared past the horizon. Almost immediately a military jet (I'm close to Mcguire Airforce Base) shot across the sky in the same path that the object took. It also dissapeared over the horizon but reappeared ( the airplane) moments later taking the same pathway across the sky going back in the same direction it came from which I assumed was Mcguire Airforce Base. I never saw the object again but I have to admit it frightened me. From the distance I viewed it, it seemed the size of a nickol. The airplane which followed it seemed about half the size of it. Judging from the sizeof the airplane, I asume the object was quite far away. I know it wasn't a helicoptor as I would recognize one easily and I've never seen a helicoptor fly so high. This object seemed to be moving almost on it's side as it appeared as a circle. I can't readily call it an object because I observed it as a moving circle of rotating, blinking, red lights, slightly bouncing across the sky. It didn't move as either a plane or helicoptor and the was no sound. Witness BackgroundI am now 64 years old. I completed 1 and 1/2 years of college.
