Triangle over Sandy Hook/Stevenson, CT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Witnessed while driving NW on RT 34 in CT between the Stevenson Dam and Great Ring Road. Object was floating at a low altitude over Route 34, it was very large, and had many white lights along the sides. Lights were steady - not flashing. It was way too low and noiseless to be a 747 jet, and moving too slowly and silently. It looked like it was only a couple hundred feet up over the treetops. The shape was hard to describe, it looked rather rectangular when in front of us - like a big floating platform - then appeared to be more triangular as we passed underneath and looked back to try to get a better look. We turned into Great Ring Road and then tried to get a better look at it, but it was gone. There were plenty of planes in the sky at the same time - at normal altitudes though.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #143360). 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.
