Full Description & Details

11:45 heard something like a gong or church bell. It seemed too late for churchbells. Looked out the window and saw what I thought was a blimp. But it was making a whining sound by now, and it was close overhead, lower than any plane, and too small to be a blimp. I was looking out from a high floor on a building on Prospect Park West and 10th Street in Brooklyn. The UFO sailed by in a southwest direction, over Prospect Park. Now it looked to me like a cross between a small blimp and some kind of "quiet" helicopter--it was still making a whining sound, but MUCH quieter and nothing like the sound of a helicopter.

I decribed it over the phone to 911 while watching it go further southwest, over Midwood, Coney Island (approximately) and I guess out to sea (I could see the blinking lights far away). 911 hung up on me. I called 311 and asked how to report a UFO. They said it was outside their jurisdiction. I called the FBI. The FBI said to call the FAA. I could not get working number for the FAA from information.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

I do.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I think it is frustrating their is no official way to report this. It could be useful information or easily explainable.
