I see something floating directly out from where I'm at about 100 yards.
00:04
They got my spotlight on it.
00:05
I believe it's a buoy if you can just confirm from where you're at, see if you have a better ankle.
00:09
46. 24.
00:11
Okay,
00:13
I got eyes on the flare.
00:15
It is, it's going to be west, like city pier,
00:20
almost, maybe in between the county and city pier, but it is definitely an emergency distress flare appears.
00:29
From our position, corporal, if you, like, look just south of the county pier lights, that's where I observed the flare.
00:39
Okay.
00:46
60 to 46 myself 982 we're going to have that way and see if you'll see anything by the can appear.
00:56
Honestly, it's probably better to get at the end of the pier because we can barely see it's kind of far out, but you can definitely see it's something going up, get shot up.

01:56
202219 is in front of the store.
01:59
The last thing.
02:05
A mile, two miles.
02:07
It's hard to judge on distance and especially what to give them on our land.
02:15
But mile to miles, it's out there.
02:17
2023.

Manhattan 6.1 status.
02:23
24 to 46. How high off the ground does it appear from by angle? As a lot of key spray.
02:30
I can't even see much.
02:32
It's not going super high.
02:35
It's also very difficult to see.
02:36
I don't know if that's based on the distance or the intensity of the flare, but we're keeping an eye on it.
02:52
Advocides on minor injuries, the idea of them is check out a male and a female, very back burns, and cuts on the face.
03:02
If you can see if you can try and get a picture of a video that I'll turn out.

Question 78.
03:23
Go ahead.
03:25
If you can't make contact with some of the condos, see if they have a PTZ camera, and off the top that can look out there and see it.
03:33
Good one.
03:36
My recommendation is to anyone that's at the county piers actually go to the pier.
03:41
And then probably from the pier, you're going to look southwest.
03:49
53 to 46.
03:51
I'm getting through the top of the pier.
03:53
Let's you know further.

Go ahead.
04:35
Is it just a periodic player they're shooting off or is it one of the one that kind of hangs around for a minute?
04:41
It's a periodic flare.
04:43
It doesn't appear to have any sort of parachute device, so it shoots straight up, lingers for a second, and then it looks like it dies out.
04:53
I would look when I see it again.
04:56
Okay.
05:00
I'll get him on my 10 a.8.

06:28
It's hard to tell.
06:32
It's definitely going to be out of all right, maybe probably a little bit west of your position.
06:38
I would definitely look south and south-west from the county pier.
06:43
1026.
06:46
24 to 46.
