The report, as filed

I got off of phone. I opened my video camera on my phone and started getting what I could of what I was seeino. It was pretty amazing. I've never seen anything like that ever! 5 orbs all hovering in the sky. Together not moving. In a second at 2216 the orb on south side of group vanished. At that point there was now 4 of them together in the sky 3 looking like a stoplight figuration stacked and then one look as it was moving towards the Southwest because it got smaller and higher and then you can still see there was three that still look like they were stacked on top of each other and the way that they were stacked it didn't look like they could be aircraft at least not commercial planes anyhow. Tthen two proceeded rather quickly to continue out into the North Area of the sky ratherrather. They just went out of eye sight. the other one just kind of hovered in the air and then went up and disappeared. that I got on video. for a while you could see it flashing different colors before it was gone. Then, I looked to the north again. Out of nowhere there were 2 very bright light that flashed and they look like they were hovering in one spot their brightness was very noticeable. Much like dimmer switch. they were in one spot then would separate. and then they proceeded to get even brighter and I was able to get that on my camera then I came back to look in the same spot over across the street in the sky. And it was back! Bright and it looked like it was getting closer and bigger and brighter and then it started to get smaller as it look like it was climbing in elevation on a 60* angle, across the sky coming towards the east. It moved across the sky above our north corner of the house out here in Apache Junction I watched it come all the way from the other side of the valley over South Mountain toward my home, and its lights just disappeared. The lights cut smaller as it got closer and went up. There was no sound no nothing. It was gone like it went right up. Nothing like an aircraft when it goes by over head, you hear jets. I was coming back in and then all the sudden I heard this loud deep rumbling and you couldn't see lights or anything just a odd void. I have it on video. Then I started looking up airport flights etc to rule out planes. I could not believe I witnessed this. I began to fill out report sitting on my truck when my neighbors friend walked over asking what that noise was. He was waiting smoking a cigarette, and asked if I seen the weird lights. and then I heard that odd deep rumbling again. The guy was looking around to see where it was coming from. He could not see anything nor could I. That was at 2249..I was working on report so I looked at time on phone. I and this other guy witnessed a black void go across the sky fast towards the east like the other one. Only a little further north. It looked to be above the houses next to field. The guy grabbed my arm when he seen it first, (as I was looking up), pointing at it. About 6 seconds later we heard another rumble. I decided I had enough so did he. He went back to friend's house. I came in to finish report.

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.

Approximately fifteen miles to the south of us we saw a large stationary disk, gold in color hovering at an undetermined height. Below the disk were many brightly colored objects that seemed to be drawn or attracted to the disk. In a very chaotic fashion and independent of each other they would at high speed ascend to the disk some would swirl up and others would shoot straight up and every variable in between. Some of the objects were extremely bright while others were relatively dim. We saw many colors, red, blue, orange, white and green. The whole incident was fast and furious. It resembled insects attracted a bright light. The background of observer one is a retired medical specimen processor for a major medical laboratory. Observer number two is Healthcare worker who works with disabled adults. At 6:40am the incident was still happening and was observed the preceding day at the same times and was also undetermined as to when it ended.

Single, white, glowing disc. I was staring straight up (12 oclock). Disc materialized at 10 oclock and traveled directly west to east before passing out of sight over my roof (2 oclock). It was the size of my thumbnail at arms length. It is pitch black out with no reflecting light source. I live at 2000ft on the slope of a 5000ft mountain. The peak is less than half a mile away to the east (Superstition mountain). It seemed low enough that I waited for an explosion but none came. I walked thru my house to the east side but there was no sign of the disc. I've never seen anything like it and I look most nights. There was no cloud cover and no clouds in sight. There was no sound. I am a scientist/physician with 2 doctoral degrees. I have been watching the sky since seeing an UAP about 21 years ago (see report from York PA in oct/nov 1999). This is only my 2nd sighting.

White round craft 30,000 ft high. 4 times bigger than a jet plane. No contrails. Moving North to south ,slowly. Made turn west and was above clouds watch time 20 min. Went west above clouds for 10 min. Came out going west into or above another cloud. 15 min later came out side of cloud and was smaller by 1/2. Another silver dot was next to it and flue from the east side south and around to the south side and back above clouds. 20 min later. Came into view and was smaller. A silver flash of light was next to it. West of UFO a jet with contrails was at 40,000 ft or more west of it. Jet was going south and white disk or box went higher and out of sight. Tried to take a picture but was to high. Watched with binoculars most of the time. Never moved fast but made tight turns. At first, thought it was a satellite going north to south but when it made a right turn knew it wasn’t a plane or satellite. Was too high for helicopter. I thought it was more box shaped, my wife said it was round. End…
