Rectangle over Ticonderoga, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
When it got closer, and I mean maybe a half a mile over my head, it was rectangular, a flat bottom and I didn't see the lights on the back until it was almost over me. Don't believe in extraterrestrials or anything like that but I do believe that the government has machines out there that we don't know about but the kicker here is there was no noise at all. If I wasn't looking up, it would have gone over me undetected. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #130463). 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.

My first reaction was an aircraft but then I knew its speed was too great and my husband agreed. I have never witnessed anything like this before, and it was pretty spectacular to see!
