Circle over New York City (Ridgewood; Queens), NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw a circle object hovering moving very slowly, which seemed odd too slow to be an airplane or too high To be a helicopter or bird it looked like it stopped Every couple minutes then it would move again ( heading from Northwest towards southeast)in the Same direction but after 20-25 min it stopped again But this time it actually changed direction and started going North for another couple of minutes around 3-4 min Then I saw another similar object moving a little faster moving from Southwest towards North watched it for 2 minutes looked back at the First one watched it for a minute and then it just vanished( disappeared) Looked back to see if the second object was still there and it also disappeared Everything happened around that weird cloud formation that looked Like a thick white smoke from 8:15am to 8:45am. Was waiting to move my car For street cleaning and was sitting in front of my apartment building. Around 8:40am I thought it had to be balloons but after it changed directions I really don't know what it was, and I really believe that I saw an Unidentified Flying Object. ((initials deleted))

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
