Rectangle over Islip Terrace, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
From 1 pm to 5 pm these objects slowly appear as round masses from a far away distance. As they come closer they for a rectangle shape. There is movement and lights flashing on the objects. At one time 2 of them joined side by side. My camera is a night vision camera and these objects are not visible with the human eye. These all take place during the day and there are usually between 7-9 of them. My camera is mounted at my bedroom window on the second floor and pointed at the sky 24/7. I have no idea what they could be. ((name deleted)) Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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.
