Wingless airplane torso in the night sky close to LaGuardia airport.
I was outside my apt. building looking at the moon and thinking about the moon’s light shining through the clouds, when at 22:25 eastern time, I heard a mix between a loud engine and a whizzing sound coming from behind my 3 floor building.
When I saw it , the first thing I noticed was that the aircraft was flying a lot lower than a commercial airplane normally did.
As I began observing it thoroughly, I noticed its tail had very bright white and red lights going off. The red light was going off at one second intervals with the white in between.
I assumed it was a government aircraft like Air Force One because the tail lights were very powerful.
The second thing I noticed was that this mysterious aircraft did not have lights on the wings. My initial assumption was that it was a commercial plane flying lower than usual.
I began searching for wings on the aircraft to no avail. The aircraft flew in on a 90 degree angle which I thought was weird because I thought all commercial aircrafts could only fly at a 45 degree angle or at a certain angle; while this aircraft was flying in a horizontal line.
The aircraft flew, from what I could measure with my arms, in a 40 degree angle in 10 seconds. It flew through the lowest cloud formation I could see and the lights were so powerful I could still see it throught the cloud formation.
Seconds after the aircraft disappeared I saw a reflection in a window of a bright red light on the opposite building in front of me; as if to say the light was comimng from behind my building. As I looked behind my building I saw nothing. I still heard the aircraft about 3 seconds after it disappeared from my sight.
I went back into the building. About 10 min later I stepped outside and called the National UFO Reporting Hotline and realized the sky was completely clear.
