Hey yall I’m reaching out here because I’ve been wanting to tell someone this but I never knew how. I can’t remember the exact date or time or even year this occurred to me, but it happened. Let me start with some context. When I was around 11-12 years old I was just starting to really get into the unknowns about the world. I was fascinated (and still am)by space, weather, archaeological discoveries, anything that I couldn’t understand but wanted to know. I started looking up into the sky a lot more, even though I lived in one of the most light polluted places in the world. One day in Fall/Winter between the years 2012-2015 I was walking home from a friends house in my neighborhood, and I had a weird feeling I was being followed or watched. I look around but nobody’s there. I start looking in the sky to try to get my mind off of this ominous feeling, then I see it. I first noticed it moving quite slowly across the sky between the stars that were visible. From where I was standing it looked to be over a body of water or over New Jersey maybe about 3-5 thousand feet high, it happened all too fast to be sure. It wasn’t blinking like a plane would or light up like any helicopter I’ve seen. It just looked like one of the stars. Then it stops moving for about 2 seconds, it makes a maneuver now going the opposite way it was originally going to. Then it shoots up and to the left, it kinda looked like a shooting star when it did this. The whole ordeal lasted between 5-10 seconds. As soon as I noticed it wasn’t a star, that’s when it made its maneuver to fly away at an unbelievable speed. I was alone when this happened and I honestly have never told anyone this much until now. I don’t have any proof, no pictures, no videos, no other witnesses, nothing. If anyone here has experienced anything like this that lives in the NY/NJ area from 2012-2015 I’d love to hear that I’m not crazy.
