General Discussion

I was at a softball game on the North Shore of Suffolk County. There were 2 other witnesses on the North Shore, and 2 people in Bridgeport. Ct. Impossible for any of us that far away to see the actual plane explode. Besides which, we all saw that object in the sky at least 15 minutes before the crash. I learned that all of us described the same thing at approximately same time before the crash. We were told we saw debris from the plane explosion. Well, unless it happened earlier than what they said, that would be impossible. No, I am not mistaken about the time because that softball game had gone into extra innings and I was checking my watch to see how late it was because I wanted to go home.

To this day, I still cannot say exactly what it was I saw. It was a bright light with a contrail, and from the ballpark, it was going in a southeast direction. I have flown in and out of JFK many times. I have seen many, many planes in the sky. This looked nothing like that which made me keep watching and following it. The surprising thing about it was that it was at a fairly low altitude, but I could not see any form other that a round white light. Missile? Wouldn't you be able to at least see the darkness of the metal? Comet? Meteorite? Don't know, but I saw what I saw and it could not have been plane debris.

The government investigation dismissed us since we were nowhere near the crash. Commander Donaldson didn't and I believe our statements were used by him in his report.
