Police officer Frank Ingargiola and reporter Sonny Schwartz saw a spherical white glowing object with a bright haze around it plowing across the ocean over Atlantic city. As they drove along the Boardwalk, it seemed to follow them.

They called other police cars. The Sergeant could watch him in the distance with binoculars. 

Witnesses also noticed a very tall man with "huge broad shoulders" moving along the Boardwalk in front of the car. He was wearing a three-quarter-length suede coat and a 10-gallon Stetson hat.
