TOMS RIVER (1010 WINS) -- A fiery streak across the sky got the attention of the Coast Guard Saturday night, after the reported fireball crashed into the waters off the Jersey Shore.
Concerned calls started coming in from South Carolina to Long Island about 9 p.m.
Coast Guard boats were searching near the site of the reported impact, off Normandy Beach in Toms River, about 10 miles off shore. No debris has been found in the water.
The Toms River Fire Department says it also got some calls and there were at least 20 people on the beach with the same story.
The FAA has not reported any missing planes and they doubt it was part of an aircraft. Even NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) chimed in, saying it probably wasn't space junk.
A Coast Guard spokesman suggested the sightings could be the result of the Aurigid meteor shower.
Astronomers had predicted a possible light show over the western parts of North America Saturday.
Just another alien fishing expedition.
Call me an alarmist, call me an a**hole, call me whatever you want.
Paying attn to AQ’s chatter forever and perhaps seeing 1/10th of it. they’ve mentioned the skies/orbit/cosmos a lot. and they keep on praising the scientists.
yknow i don’t think i have a real point here but this is unusual, a fireball and they have an obsession with manhattan for the record.
it’s beyond my recognition what this could mean, but...the ping to cindy was well placed.
i’m simply looking for anything out of the ordinary, and this month, this city- this is almost weird. we don’t see fireballs daily.

Is that you, Rosie?
The interviewee has so many gaps in his self-taught singularity knowledge base that Ian, the interviewer, did well to keep the conversation going. Callers were highly critical, not even playing along this time.
If we had Gort the Clinton Administration would have been vaporized; along with .79 of the politicians!
... sorry, what were we talking about?
So big that the heat of atmosphere entrance failed to dissipate it. /s
But I live near the area where this "fireball" was sighted, and I guess that explains the helicopters and the sirens and the traffic. And I'll guess it was probably some chunk o'stuff that did make it through, and I sure hope it didn't blast a hole through someone's boat!
It was a message from aliens, protesting the casting of Keanu Reeves as the new Klaatu in the remake of “The Day the Earth Stood Still” (coming Fall 2008!).
Yes, I’m serious.
"We are here to say it was not, repeat, NOT space junk"
I’ll be in the basement with my tinfoil hat on, in case there are any calls.
John McCain’s and John Edward’s Presidential campaigns maybe...
Ya know ya really should warn people before they scroll ... ROFLOL
overcast night in late June of 1967 while driving eastbound late at night near Detroit the sky suddenly became greenish, peaked in its greenish brightness, then diminished to what it had been.....all of this took less than ten seconds. It was so astonishing to me that I stopped the car. The next morning the news was that it was a huge meteor arriving through the atmosphere on a south to north trajectory and it had actually landed waaaay north in a sparsely populated area of northernmost Canada.
I'll call you semi-literate.
There are ten capitalization errors in your post.
