Other over Rye area over I95, CT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It appeared high up in the sky and was small like higher than an airplane. It was freight, silver, and either typical UFO shape or a long cylinder, not quite sure, because it appeared for a few seconds, and then it disappeared and then I was like wait a minute without a UFO and then it reappeared again, like as if to answer lol. And then a few seconds later, it disappeared again. The sky is blue, and no clouds in sight. About 30 to 45 minutes later the emergency alert system went off and I thought the timing was interesting so I figured the military had seen it and it being so close to New York City…? Maybe it set off the alert so I thought I should report what I saw!
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178556). 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.
