Triangle over CT
A conventional explanation is favored by the record but was never formally confirmed.
The report, as filed
I was taking a picture of the sunset, and I didn’t notice the object at first. When I did, I thought it was a cloud, but that didn’t seem right to me since there were no other clouds in the area. I zoomed in on the picture and noticed the triangular shape and lights. When I looked back at the area of the sky where it was, it was gone. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Probable]

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.
