Sphere over Gila, NM

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

The report, as filed

The object zigged and zagged for 1-1/2 hours in the southeastern sky. It would make circles and go off in multiple directions in a second. At first I thought it was a satellite, but it was making bizarre patterns all around itself. Up, then down, then sideways, then in a circle--constantly for that length of time I watched it. The speed in which it travelled was in the blink of an eye, very quickly and haphazard movements. Star or planet?? PD

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #132273). 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.

Gila, NM

I watched the event from my open bedroom window. It was a well defined oval shape with the outer rim showing and what looked like a rounded dome. It had no blinking or fixed lights, had a dull, non reflective gray metallic surface: but there was a dim, blue halo effect around the craft. Traveling very fast from east to west. As it passed it became very quiet out and then after it passed the noise of frogs and bugs resumed. The moon was out, thin transparent clouds but mostly clear. Visibility was excellent. The night was cold. There was a cold slight wind from the south/southwest. I live in a valley, near a river and a wilderness area....quite remote. This object seemed quite low.
