Narrative
6/28/26 @ 9:45pm. Saw this the other night and then looked up and there it was again tonight, exact same location, behaving the exact same way. I checked my SkyView app, it’s not a planet, or a star. Stationary for hrs on end so not a plane or helicopter. Thought maybe a drone but considering how bright that light is and how high it is, I doubt it’s a drone. Appears to be just above the tip of the battery down past Fidi I assume over open water or Jersey. I’m facing west looking from downtown...
