Light over Glendale, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On new years eve I was out with my daughter looking at fire works then all of a sudden we saw a large flash of light that light up the whole sky, it was not a firework. Then I notice 3 lights in a triangular shape moving across the sky from North to South across the western horizon. Then some lights would just go out, disappear and others would show up behind them and then do the same as they got to a certain point in the sky. Then there was large flash again that light up the whole sky and my daughter got so freaked out, she was really upset, she thought aliens were going to abduct us. I have a video if anyone is interested. We have attempted to contact the witness via telephone, but unsuccessfully, to date. PD

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.

We were stargazing and I was staring at this supposed plane because it was moving side to side and at speeds unlike the rest of the planes in the sky, until eventually this ‘plane’ just stopped moving and began hovering in the middle of the sky. Then the star like object next to it began to move closer to it and then after a moment the 2 UFOs separated moving unilaterally from each other and there they stayed hovering above the city of Glendale Az.

Grey triangle craft flying extremely low or very large going an estimated 80 miles and hour flew straight overhead going beyond tree line at night. There was no sound that I heard coming from it, but my dog was barking at in the sky. Other locals had reported sightings that Friday and Saturday.

I was looking at the three aligned planets in the sky and saw a faint light that looked like a distant star but moved at a steady pace like an airplane. The light moved for about 10 seconds until it disappeared out of Earth's atmosphere and into space. I have seen "shooting stars" which move a lot faster and burn up in our atmosphere before disappearing but what I saw was definitely different.

It was only the shadow we saw as we were inside. It darkened the rooms of the house. Bizarre as there was no sound. No engine noise whatsoever

I was making a bottle for my baby this morning I saw something going somewhat fast and blinking at first I thought it was an airplane from the blinking but then it stopped mid air, and starting going backwards then up higher in the sky. I thought to myself planes don’t fly backwards, so spooky!

As we walked out of the house I noticed two big 1/2 sphere flashing white lights. Taking turns blinking apart then they moved close together and formed a disc UFO turning. The lights changed colors when they formed the UFO, orange and blue.
