On a clear afternoon in Wantagh, NY, I experienced a haunting encounter that has stayed with me for decades. While sitting in traffic, my eyes caught sight of an unusual object moving slowly across the sky. As I pulled into a nearby shopping center to get a better look, I realized this was no ordinary sight.
The object was perfectly rectangular, its surface textured and unlike anything I had previously seen or read about. It hovered approximately 300 feet above the ground, moving steadily from south to north with astonishing precision — no sway, no hint of wind interference. What struck me most was its slow, deliberate flipping motion, end over end, as it traversed the sky with an eerie grace.
As it moved, I traced the sun’s reflection glinting off its trailing edge, marking its path with a shimmering line even as it disappeared out of sight. Despite its slow pace, the object seemed fully controlled, guided by an unseen hand. From my vantage point, it appeared almost two-dimensional, flat against the blue backdrop, lacking the bulk one might expect from a flying craft.
Having long been fascinated by UFO phenomena and well-read on countless sightings, including classic cases described by John Fuller and others, nothing matches the distinctiveness of what I witnessed. The clarity of the midday sun and the crisp weather left no doubt about the reality of this encounter.
This rare rectangular UFO sighting challenges usual descriptions of aerial phenomena and invites us to reconsider the vast possibilities residing in our skies. Such moments remind us that the unknown can be visible to those who dare to truly look upward.
