Witness Account

Driving in car with daughter from soccer practice single large bright white orb with white glow shoots up in sky. After about a minute object just disappears. First thought was a plane since close to Phili, trenton, and newark but light was too bright and too large to be known aircraft. I checked for any rocket launches reports or military activity known to public since I am very close to Joint Base McGuire–Dix–Lakehurst. We are used to seeing military aircraft from our farm field and definitely was not one I have ever seen. I am reporting since population is obviously dense in tri-state area and we could not be the only ones that saw this object, just curious to what it was. Object was also seen 9/12 at around 8pm give or take... Will have cell phone in hand now to try and capture if seen again.
