The incident occurred on the afternoon of June 3, 2024, approximately four miles southwest of New York Stewart International Airport. Air Traffic Control personnel witnessed the approximately 50-foot-long object appear and then remain stationary at 4,000 feet altitude for nearly one hour before disappearing into the clouds, according to the report. Notably, airport radar was unable to detect the object. The FAA report is provided below:
'Facility observed a UAP 4 NM SW of SWF beginning approximately 1800. Object appeared to be stationary at 4,000 feet, no impact to operations. Object is estimated to be 50 feet long, boomerang shaped, and is not observed on RADAR. Object remained in vicinity for approximately 50 minutes before disappearing into the clouds. TY, PD notified.'
A spokesperson for the Pentagons UAP office, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), confirmed to The Register that the incident was investigated by the AARO following an FAA referral and remains unidentified. The FAA ignored repeated requests for comment for this story.
The Register recently contacted Stewarts Air Traffic Control tower to ascertain additional details about the object and incident. An ATC employee confirmed that the incident occurredstating emphatically, Oh yes, we remember thatbut when this writer identified themselves as a member of the press, the employee said, I cant talk about this, before abruptly ending the phone call.

Its interesting that since weve had camera phones there seem to be far fewer claims of UFO sightings.

A flying wing is a tailless fixed-wing aircraft that has no definite fuselage, with its crew, payload, fuel, and equipment housed inside the main wing structure. A flying wing may have various small protuberances such as pods, nacelles, blisters, booms, or vertical stabilizers.

(5,179 posts)often seem to provide the distance, speed and altitude of said objects even though no radar data was obtained. Point is, it is v difficult to estimate such parameters when the size of the object (if it is in fact an object) is not known.
