Rectangle over Jersey city, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At first we thought it was a low flying helicopter. The sound was eerie. I ran to get my cell phone to take a pic. The aircraft was silver and gray. It looked like an arrowhead. The lights were orange. The ship flew between two bright lights! Then it soedef straight up and disappeared. I have pics!
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #129505). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.

Looked up while at work and spotted 2 objects over the new york manhattan skyline flying very very slowly and spinning in sync, they seemed to be a few hundred feet apart but did not move further or closer to eachother the entire time. Rectangular in shape and dark. I have video recorded of the event.
