UFO Sightings 2010 - UFO Spotted in Long Beach, New York

I caught this mysterious bright light hovering in the sky on December 18, 2010, in Long Beach, New York. I'm not saying it's aliens, but it's definitely unidentified. This light was at least 10 times brighter than any star in the sky, and was giving off light comparable to that of the moon. I was facing directly east, and this light was directly above where the ocean meets the shoreline.
