Other over In flight (Phoenix to NYC), -
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
March 8, 2015, I was a passenger on Jet Blue Flight 136 out of Phoenix, AZ, to JFK, NY. It was a red eye. We took off about 11:00 pm. I was looking out my window, facing north, in my window seat. I saw what looked like red star under the constellation Casseopeia. Then I saw that it was blinking red and what looked like green lights, so maybe it's an aircraft. I was sorry I had packed my video cam with zoom away. I surmised it wasn't a plane because it stayed almost stationary, in one spot, for about two hours. Then it moved very slowly a bit right and left for about a half hour. Then it gradually moved to the east towards the front of the plane and completely out of my view. About two hours after that, about 3:00am, I looked out the window again and I see it moved back near to where it was originally just below Cassiopeia. But this time it sat just a little further to the right, toward the East. I was so surprised it returned. I'm staring at it again for only moments and the light suddenly appears to get bigger and bigger and whiter. Then I realized it was soaring towards the plane! I couldn't believe it! It was heading directly to where I was sitting, then it slowed down as it approached the plane and glided above it. I could see the craft! It was about 30 feet over the plane and I could see detail! I saw its bottom, front and left side as it flew over me. I was in shock! Its shape was fairly straight along the edge on its left and right side but front and back slightly rounded . It had some lights on in the front of the craft, but small and uneven number on front right side to left. I remember 2 on the front left and 1 on the right. The ! craft appeared to be a dull off white color. All the edges were rounded and I didn't see anything that looked like doors or rivets. From what I could see it was just one piece body. It had 2 obvious huge indentations on it's left side on the bottom, where what looked like these 2 huge white spotlights shown down out from. They were positioned on the left side bottom of the craft like headlights on a car. I imagined it had the same type of two big indentation lights on it's right side but I couldn't see that side as it flew over me on a slight angle. It didn't look very big, it was more like a medium-thin module. From the little research I've done since I've encountered this, I believe it looks like an antigravity car. I know we were flying about 36,000 feet and it was just after 3 AM in the morning. But with all of the excitement, I failed to see on the map exactly what state I was flying over when this happen. I have never seen a UFO, space craft or anything like this before. I asked my Stewardess and the Captain if they saw anything and they said no. I would love to know if anybody else encountered this type of craft. I am now having an artist draw up a sketch of what I witnessed.

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.
