Rectangle over Greenwich, CT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Right before dusk I drove my kids home from athletic practices. As we’re passing the town water reservoir, my kids both cried out: “What is that?? Omg, what is that?!” I could not see anything, since I’m driving and the water is passed on the right side of our car, but both kids were jolted, awestruck and terrified. They described the object as majestic and scary. This is what they saw: A rectangular object the size of two cars and with sharp edges (later described as a gigantic iPhone), dark grey metallic color, moving down slowly from over the tree canopy and on a tilt down towards the water. At a car’s length away from the water’s surface, it made a turn and leveled itself flat with the water as it continued to fly further in along the reservoir. At this point we lost sight, as the road makes a turn away from the water. There was still daylight and the object had no lights, sound or anything propelling it forward. My son said it moved unlike anything he has ever seen and it’s movement was very beautiful, but unnatural. We were about a 70-90 yards away from the moving object.

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.

it was a craft that looked like a cessna 310 but it looked to have a dual fuselage, but the protruding fuselages were much longer than an average airplane. it also didn’t have any propellors and it didn’t seem to have any engines. it was flying around 225-300 feet above the ground and it moved slowly. slower than an average cessna, and it didn’t look to be descending, even though the closest airport is about 6 miles away. it flew right over the car and kept going. it had around 10 lights on it, two green lights, two red lights, and a bunch of white lights that looked to be attached to the craft. it also made no noise as it moved, unlike the general drone of a jet that you would normally hear. it was unlike any airplane i’ve ever seen before, and i’ve seen many airplanes as i am an airplane/jet enthusiast and i do a lot of research on my own time about various aircraft.

I saw a line in the sky of lights; could almost be described as a horizontal line of Christmas lights high up in the sky, moving very slowly through the sky. The lights were not blinking [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

September 6, 2020; 3:45 A.M. EDT For the last four hours this morning, when ever I go outside; I have observed on the west side of the nearly Full moon something that I originally thought might be twin stars, but in that period they have stayed in the Relative same position to the moon as it moves from east to west in our night sky. I cannot determine its Size, but it must be quite far up, and thus it would be a very large object like a large stationary craft of some sort. I have never observed anything like that in the night sky before. It is a relatively clear night here, so anyone Can see it. It looks like it might be two bright lights with structures connecting the two bright areas. The moon would not normally stay in the same position relative to twin stars. It is sort of confusing.

I was lying in bed trying to go to sleep, when I looked out into the horizon and notices two white lights hovering lower than planes would be. The two lights were coming from a single saucer-like object. The object did not move in a linear fashion at first; it was almost moving in small circles. After about 30 seconds it moved quickly to my left and disappeared into the sky. My neighbors have a small farm, which is rare for Greenwich, and the object seemed be hovering around their property.

At first, we thought "wow 2 planes are getting very close to each other" (literally facing each other) until we realized one was an actual airplane and the other object then started to back away from the airplane, as the airplane kept going its original way the other light stayed in position after moving. As if they knew we were watching it stayed there still for quite a long time. Then we saw another bigger light falling (almost like an asteroid) we followed it since we were driving and there were no sight of landing (it seemed to have landed in the middle of the park) When we arrived home we looked up at the sky for a little and realized many tiny stars moving different directions and flashing...that's when i freaked out and went inside... could it have anything to do with the moon? it was huge last night!
