A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I am a truck driver who was driving in the state of Arizona on interstate 10 east bound between mile marker 181 and 182. I initially noticed one circular bright light in the sky swooping down over a field then back into the sky at a high rate of speed. As I noticed the light coming back around repeating the the same motion, I was closer to the object than before. As I noticed the object swoop down almost touching the field only one light was on, then a second, and then a third circular light appeared. Each light was evenly spaced in a straight line. As this was happening, I turned my head out the window and looked back as the object was ascending back up toward the sky. With the lights pointing up I was able to see the shape of this object. The shape of this object resembled a large rectangular wing similar to a wing on an old time wwII plane. The side of this object opposite of the three lights had the middle part of this wing purtrud out in the center of the wing like a tab. So that side was not completely straight, The other side with the lights was straight with three large white circular lights in a row. I attempted while watching this to take a picture but was unable to while driving. I have never seen anything like this during my 15 years on the road as a truck driver and wanted to report this and hopefully get a logical explanation on what this may have been. I have a sketch of this object as well that I can mail to you. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be unusually eloquent in his description of the object, and quite sober-minded. We suspect that he is a highly capable, and highly reliable, witness. We have corrected the date to read July 14. PD

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.

I just arrived home. I went on my back patio, 2nd floor apartment and I noticed two orbs just appear right in front of me just above house tops in a southeast direction. They were circling each other so I ran to get my high speed camera but it was dead, do I grabbed my cell and started recording. By the time I hit record, they stopped circling and flew extremely close together. Keep in mind the the location they were above was right above my medical clinic i work at. All residential, air craft do not fly that low with lights that bright. There was absolutely no sound. I can always hear planes much farther and helicopter blades are very easy for me; ex Military Veteran. I posted the video on Facebook and a old friend I use to work with responded on FB that she witnessed the same two lights.

My friend and I saw what looked like a bright white star moving unnaturally quickly across a clear night sky at ~8:15 pm in Chandler AZ. The object was first seen directly above us, then traveled over the horizon in less than 10 seconds. The object did not dim or burn out like a meteor but was persistently a bright white light. The object left no trail and made no sound. The object was moving too quickly to be a man-made satellite.

Outside with the dogs, looking up and saw a light going back and forth. Looked like a spotlight, but it was going very fast. It stopped moving to reveal 3 lights in a triangle shape and then immediately changed direction going perpendicular to the original back and forth trajectory. Was out of sight in seconds after it changed that direction. Was cloudy, seemed like lights were illuminating the clouds from above. It was close to a small airport, but I could see other planes below the clouds perfectly fine. The lights were way higher up than the planes in the area.

My husband and I saw two round objects that looked to be on fire or with heavy sparks coming from it. We originally thought it was fire works but the objects moved side ways and up and down. They also would dim sparks and then re fire up. The objects would also slow and stop at times. This lasted for no more than 5 minutes

North West of Chandler, Arizona near Venus One "star" appeared, moving at high speed, flashed a bright white light, then disappeared. We then observed and counted nine others exactly the same as the first. They traveled in a row, one after the next appeared, flashed a very bright white light, the light was brighter than Venus is in the same area of the sky. After the flash each one moved only a moment more then completely disappeared. We counted 10 of them. I am NOT joking, please corobarate sighting.
