Resolved to a known cause by an investigating body, with the identification on the record.
The report, as filed
I noticed a weird possible square like object with what looks like two pointers in front along with a smaller object near by while on the Staten Island Ferry heading towards Manhattan. It was moving slowly over the Staten Island Bridge. Advertising banner behind a private aircraft.. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Certain]

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.
