I'm a high school student around 16. I would like to say that I was witness to another sighting, that appeared on ABC News, the one that took place in New Jersey. I got home about an hour before. I was kind of bored, so I look out my window. In the sky, I saw what looked like vertical lines in the clouds. I would have not given it another look, but the clouds were greyish-blue, the lines were almost a gold. Then one by one more rips appeared. One was headed towards the Verazanno Bridge(for those who don't know, a pretty large suspension bridge). There were two orbs near the bridge. Then every one of the "lines" went from vertical to horizontal, and became fireballs, almost like jets. I thought, maybe I'm seeing things, they're just jets, but the jet-trail dissapeared, almost like a comet. The one by the bridge slowly moved, and the two spheres dissapeared, and that one line kind of just drifted, but eventually it went out of my line of sight, due to a tree, and that was it.
