Light over South Phoenix/Laveen, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
South Phoenix, westbound on Baseline Road between 51st Ave. and 55th Ave., 7:00 pm, 11/7/2015 I saw what I initially thought was the moon behind a cloud, but it seemed to be a very bright point source light shining down and to the south, behind or from inside and illuminating a cloud. The light faded over several seconds, but a slightly luminous fog persisted for several minutes. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #123806). 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.
