Hi. my name is ((name deleted)). I was on my way to cash my check at the regular check cashing spot I usually go to. On my way there I stop at the crossing light and saw to my left across the street what I thought at first was a jet taking off, as I'm near several airports and a few military bases. I kept an eye on this object that resembled a jet or missile going into the sky at a 90° angle. As it kept going up, it disappeared and then after 5 seconds or so it reappeared, but the funny thing is that it slowed down to a total stop and was now much bigger. It resembled a pill or a cylinder shape. It stayed there for about 6 to 8 minutes. At this time I was getting ready to cross the street and looked away for one second and when I looked back up it was gone. Except I saw the tail of smoke it left. Now two minutes later a helicopter appeared going in the direction in which the object was just at. I watched this helicopter circle around for at least five or ten minutes and then it left. I couldn't believe this was happening. I wish my camera/video recorder was working but it wasn't. The other funny thing is that I seem to be the only person interested in looking at this object. This hasn't been the first time I've seen something strange and it won't be the last. T Thank you for listening. C.T.C.am!

One bright light that was intense... it was orange and intense.

I was at Hempstead Lake Park in early June 07, when I viewed a UFO. The object was flying from west to east.
