Disk over Manhattan, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
When we lived in Manhattan, on May 2nd, 2017 around 3:30pm my husband and I were in our apartment on the corner of 42nd street and 11th Avenue which had big walls of windows. Our unit was on the southeast corner looking south on 11th Avenue in Manhattan. South of us, about 2 blocks, we saw two flying saucers (disc shaped no windows) with a slight wobble to them like from 1950’s sci-fi movies, side by side, flying north on 11th Avenue towards our building (Sky Apartments). My husband grabbed the binoculars and got a close up look at them. I saw them with my own eyes (20/20 vision) and there’s no explanation other than UAP/UFO. It happened so fast and sudden regrettably we didn’t have time to grab video / photos. They then went behind a tall building south of us headed West towards the Hudson and then we lost sight of them. From a distance, I’m guessing they were approximately the size of a mini cooper vehicle in a saucer disc shape and silver color with no windows. This was not a dream, we don’t do drugs or drink alcohol. I don’t know if it’s relevant but it’s worth mentioning, this happened two days before the President of the US was to give a speech at the Intrepid museum, one block west on the Hudson.

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.
