Rectangle over New Yor City (Jamaica queens, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was waiting on a train and looked up at the sky and saw a reflection once i realized it was not a plane or a mylar balloon then i started to record it with my phone it was rectangular very metallic on one side and was rotating 180 degrees back and forth the video is not the best but if you download it and zoom in you can definitely tell it is not a plane or drone not a helicopter i dont know what it was. I am a transit worker and am 59 years old

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.
