NEW JERSEY FLYING OBJECTS

SURF CITY - A video was taken on Sunday June 3, 2001, of a strange looking aircraft flying over the Atlantic Ocean at about 4:00PM. A brilliant light was observed in the sky at 45 degrees above the horizon. The flash of light that was most likely a reflection of the sun but it caused me to look up. Within seconds the brightly lit object disappeared. A short time later, moving at high speed faster than normal air traffic was a white aircraft-traveling north and paralleling the New Jersey Coastline. There were no contrails. I had been filming beach scenes with a TRV330 Sony video camera. A short segment of video was taken revealing an aircraft that looked similar to a C-5 aircraft with possibly a small refueling boom hanging down
underneath. The amazing thing about the craft was that it appeared to have a very large slanting tower on the top of its fuselage. The tower appears to be about 100 feet tall based on the height of a C-5 tail. It is possible the aircraft is in a turn and the tower is actually part of the wings, although the craft appeared to continue in straight and level flight.. Generally four large C-5 jet engines are also easily observed hanging from the wings. These and a horzontal tail are not visible in the video.
