Light over Pomona, NJ

The report, as filed

Event Details: At approximately 1900 hours I was leaving the CVS pharmacy located at 328 White Horse Pike in Pomona, New Jersey. As I was pulling out of the parking lot, I noticed a bright white ball rising from out of the tree line located directly behind the CVS and a construction site behind the store. The object got very bright and then faded back to its original luminosity. At this point I pulled my vehicle over and began recording the object with my phone. The object was very bright, round and about 1/10th the size of a full moon. I noticed that It was much larger a star or planet would be in the night sky. After rising from above the tree line the object than remained stationary just above the tree line for approximately a minute and a half and then its brightness began to fade until it was gone. I heard no noise that might have been associated with a helicopter or aircraft. I live relatively close to the Atlantic City international Airport and there was aircraft visible in the sky! at the same time as the object, however aircraft look very different than what I saw and are much smaller and further away in the sky and emit a blinking light.
