Formation over Mesa, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Returning home going east on Ray Road just east of Ellsworth at around ten at night. This is a new housing development area with lots of daytime housing construction during the day and vast open areas. I was in the passenger seat and saw six bright lights at a little above ground level to the ESE. There are other lights in the area from warehouses and domestic homes. These were in a horizontal line consistent with the ground and were different, spanning about 100 yards in width if my measure is correct. My girlfriend was driving and commented on them and I wasn't sure what it was. There were 3 passengers in the back seat and we all saw them. Unlike mercury or sodium vapor lights, these looked incandescent, yellowish white, bright and large. What stood out is that unlike the domestic and business lights to the left and right of this array, these had a hazy fog around them.... They were about 1/2 mile away... I wanted to go over there, but there are n! o roads .... I have looked at that area every night since and it is dark....

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.

I saw a round black object flying in the sky in a strange flight pattern. This was in day light. It was either small or extremely far away. It was definitely not a plane or a bird. My spouse saw it as well. I have a video if needed.

My family and I were driving from St George, UT to Mesa, AZ. We were on the US-93 highway when I noticed a black rectangular object out of my front windshield flying over my car about 400-500 ft above it. It "flew" over my car and towards the right and I screamed out to my family to check out what it was. My two sons in the backseat saw it and tried to take a picture but they said it slightly expanded and then just disappeared. It made no noise as far as we know and had no markings or lights. There were no wings or propellers.

Driving home saw a Green light jetting across the sky, then it just disappeared into a white “portal”. It was going so fast, and it seemed like it disappeared like when ships go into “Hyperspace” in Star wars. It happened Eastbound on the US-60 around 6:52pm. It looked like a green exhaust trail. There we’re tons of people on the road. I cant be the only one to have seen it.
