The report, as filed
My husband and I were driving home from Phoenix arizona to Prescott arizona and on the way back home we saw this red light floating across the sky and it would be real close then out of no where be far away and so on so forth we thought it was a plane at first then we got into Prescott and dodny see it any longer and then as we were pulling on to our street to pull into our ally there was that red flashing light again just hovering over our house and I yelled to my husband babe there is that light again and as I started to drive again after stoping it started to move and change colors red then green then blue and the close we got to our house the more it moved away so we hawled ass to our car port and saw it up close it was the shape of a donut, a circle shape with a whole in the middle of it, like a donut real thick and tall about the size of a car from 300 yards away and the under neath had 6-10 cirle lights and when we stoped to get out of the car it vani! shed in thin air how idk how but it was way to big to be a drone and to low to be a plane or helicopter and it made no noise we live where there is mountains behind us and trees and it was no where to be found when we got out of the car I have never ever seen something so crazy in my life it was a game changer.

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 first spotted the circular formation of 6 to 8 lights while driving west on Anthem Way looking west towards Prescott. Observed the stationary pattern of lights for approximately one to two minutes. As our view changed while driving we lost sight of the circular pattern of lights for a minute then as they came back into view we observed that the lights were now in a perfectly straight line. We observed the lights for another minute or so and continued driving.

Two red lights appeared to almost collide but quickly made chevron pattern and disappeared. They were much higher than planes fly.

At 0605 local time in Prescott, Arizona I was driving to work on Willow Lake road when I noticed what looked like a normal star constellation, but it was in a straight line (not exactly straight) and consisted of many “stars”. I am familiar with the night sky and was struck by a new, large constellation. I stopped for a better look and saw what appeared to be over 20 points of light that were the similar size/shape of the star Vega (I just picked a star, no other significance) that were travelling West to East in unison. They were not in an exact straight line but looked more like a long string of lights being towed behind an aircraft. There was no sound that I could hear, and the lights were steady, not blinking. They were somewhat randomly spaced so did not look like a coordinated formation, except that they were all traveling the same speed and direction (same velocity) and never changed their spacing relative to each other, which is why I mentioned them being towed. Their speed and path were constant as long as I could observe them. They were lost at the Eastern horizon where they went out of sight naturally.

White round objects traveling ENE more or less in a line, though some were out to side. Around 100. Uniform speed, seemed to be very high up. No sound. Definitely not airplanes as there were a few planes with usual red/green lights. We called neighbors who came out and were able to see at least two from their position. We thought the procession stopped, but after a break it started again adding some more to the first 100 or so.

I’m a 24 year old Male, with two college degrees. One in hard science, one in architecture. I have had sightings before but I like to think it’s because I pay close attention to the sky at all times. Last night - the night of May 8th, 2018, I was at a friend's house. I was standing in the backyard and happened to be looking in the sky, slightly to the SW (looking in the direction of Thumb Butte for those of you who know the area) and all of a sudden a fiery ball of light that pulsed between green and yellow light frequencies streamed through the sky at high speeds. It lasted for only about 5 seconds. Right when it entered our field of sight, the 4 dogs that live on the property started freaking out. This was not a meteorite. I have seen multiple and many meteorites at varying distances in our atmosphere, and this was not one. It was too low and not fast enough and the color was not that of a meteor burning up. Only one other person in the backyard saw it with me.
