Cylinder over Wittmann, AZ

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Red cylindrical object, east of Wittmann heading north. Tumbling as it was moving north. It then disappeared. 1 minute later it reappeared further north for about 40 seconds, and then disappeared for good.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #127673). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

Wittmann, AZ

Went out as usual to look for satellites and shooting stars. looked to the NW direction and saw a skinny horizontal rectangle flash at me twice with a very bright white light. The light was perfectly contained within this rectangle. There was no glow around it or leakage of the light. I thought it might have been a blimp about to light up a sign but there was nothing more. No planes in the sky, no noise.
