Sphere over Mesa/Chandler, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
After coming home from the store, I noticed a orange sphere on the southwest of my location, I pulled over on the side of the road and parked my car facing west. Soon after I parked I saw another sphere appear next to the first one I initially saw, I tried recording but my phone kept going out of focus. Around 9:30 I saw a single sphere appear far to the right of the two that i was triying to record,a few seconds later two appeared further right, two more appeared to the left of them and then two more! All three of the set of two appear to be equally spaced and parralel from each other. I got some blurry video and a picture where all nine can be seen at a distance, unfortunatelly that is all I got, I wish I had a better camera.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #115957). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
