Several people in New Jersey claimed they saw a person falling from the sky with no parachute, but an extensive police search has turned up no evidence, NBC Philadelphia reported.

Witness Kelly Hale and two of her co-workers at Shore Veterinarians in Egg Harbor Township said they watched from their office windows as a human fell head-first from the sky on Tuesday.

2. Description doesn't make sense
It takes a small amount of skill to fall "straight down". Most folks tumble pretty bad. Limp or unconcious will tend to fall on their backs, spinning rapidly around a verticle axis. Any one falling "straight down on an angle flailing their arms and legs" is very experienced.

4. Yup.
That's how they do it in movies, but not real life.
