Sphere over Mohave Valley, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At first I thought it was a planet or star, but as soon as I looked hard it moved slow at first to the right, then accelerated sideways, then stopped and barely moving. My wife at this time also witnessed the object. We tried to film it but it was to far in the distance. Note the most disturbing thing about this object was it at least three times emitted some sort of light under it that appeared to go to the ground where very small almost unseen dots of lights moving to the underside of the object. After observing the UFO for twenty minutes, or so, it just vanished.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #127729). 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.
