Rectangular-Shaped greyish-black object flying low over Astoria, Queens and Manhattan's West Side
At 5:35pm June 1st, 2005, I witnessed a rectangular-shaped greyish black object making a lazy circle over Astoria, Queens at about 1000 feet.
The object was thin when viewed head-on. I cannot estimate the size accurately, but given the range at least 500 feet, but less than 1000 feet long, and 100-200 feet wide.
The object flew over Astoria Queens at Astoria Boulevard, then made a wide circle and flew over the East River to the island of Manhattan, turning to fly south down its spine on Manhattan's west side.
The duration of the sighting was 5 minutes.
The first thought I had was, it was a banner being towed. However, at no time did I see an airplane towing it, and there was no writing or advertisement on the greyish black object.
