UFO over the Meadowlands?

Saturday September 13, 2008
East Rutherford, New Jersey, frame captureHere is something that I found interesting. A recent article, Close Encounters of the Wrong Kind, gives us the account of a UFO sighting with video that occurred in East Rutherford, New Jersey, during the first week of September. Sebastian Steinburg sent his video to Radio Irish, which in turn posted it on youtube.

I posted a small frame capture of the object above, which does not appear to resemble anything that I can think of. Maybe you can. Just like many other reports, debunkers immediately dismissed the object as a blimp, because it was filmed on the same night as a New York Giants exhibition football game. This is, of course, a possibility.

Take a look at the video, and let us know what you think the object is.

i’m willing to buy that it’s not a blimp, the only problem I have is the red steady-flashing light on the top of the craft. looks man-made.

willing to bet its not a blimp? The word “Goodyear” is visible the side. Common people this is the kind of stuff that destroys the credibility of the ufo research community Ive come to expect more from you billy.

Hate to say I agree. Looks like a blimp. I don’t know if you can actually read Goodyear on the side of it but it does look like there is writing on the side of it.
Nothing to see here! Unfortunately.

It’s the Direct TV blimp! Not Goodyear, you can clearly make out on the right side the letters TV. Do a search for the Direct TV blimp and make your own comparison.

I’ve always thought it was amazing that there are people who can’t see that this is obviously a blimp. Then, per cudatat2’s suggestion, I googled “directv” & blimp”. If anyone who tries this still thinks it’s a UFO or helicopter, PLEASE see an eye doctor immediately.

There’s still so much lunacy surrounding this obvious blimp that I decided to make a video about it:
