LuckyMcSwervy 0 #1 September 15, 2010 Officials consider further search options, after witnesses report a person falling from the sky over Egg Harbor Township My ex-husband sent me the New Jersey State Police alert late yesterday afternoon. Very strange indeed... ETA: This is nowhere near a "bad spot" at our dropzone. Probably 35 miles east of Cross Keys. Yesterday's reports said the witnesses said it was a man wearing a jumpsuit. Hmmm.... Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnnyMarko 1 #5 September 15, 2010 I dont think the cast of "Jersey Shore" counts as credible sources....it will be interesting to see where this goes but I have a feeling it wasnt a person that they saw.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FreeFlyer2100 0 #7 September 15, 2010 Maybe if we are lucky it was a cast member from "Jersey Shore" who got tossed out of the plane. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeJD 0 #8 September 15, 2010 Assuming there wasn't also a plane crash, then at least one other person ought to know what actually happened. But it's not that uncommon for falling objects to be mistaken for people - cutaway canopies are quite often reported as such. No matter how 'reliable' their witnesses, this may well be something and nothing. Let's hope the latter! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LuckyMcSwervy 0 #17 September 15, 2010 I saw in the incidents thread this was mentioned and someone noted this is on the base leg into Atlantic City International Airport. Landing gear down... stowaway drops out? How could they tell someone had black, navy and gray on? My neighbor across the street is one of the Coast Guard helicopter pilots from ACY.

DFWAJG 4 #18 September 16, 2010 MY HOME TOWN! I lived just down the street from there. They could use a dropzone. AC airport is very close, but would have been a very long spot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It'd hardly be the first time it has happened - and given that nobody would have seen exactly where the 'body' landed, it could take a pretty long time to find it.
