Chevron over Catalina Township, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Taking photo with small Olympus digital camera of large cumulous thunderhead cloud over head, snapped three consecutive pictures one right after another, did not notice any craft during the actual snapshots until loaded onto desk top computer seeing a bright glimmering object against the cloud near the top, after zooming in the object a seemingly chevron shaped luminescent object can be seen. I'm certain it is not a lens reflection because the other two photos do not have it and the clouds were shading the view from any bright sunlight. How do I send you the photos?
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #122449). 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.
