Circle over Virgin, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We saw a bright light, that seemed to be a circular shape, in the South-West sky, Arizona Strip area. The light was very bright compared to any planet or stars. As we watch the light it would fade to almost nothing then come back to full brightness again. This is the second time we have seen the light. The first time was a week ago, and the sky was completely overcasts that night. We took some pictures and video; however they are not good. Camera is just not good enough to capture what we see.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #131500). 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.
