Sphere over Mesa, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw a circular UFO while walking my dogs tonight around 8:00pm MST. Glanced up and saw a violet-turning-magenta colored circular figure (I can only explain the violet color as looking like your nails do when you're in a room that has a black light on) in the sky sitting dead still. At first I thought it may be a plane or helicopter coming straight toward me, appearing to be still, but then the object started moving to the left (eastern sky beginning at dead-center east, then slightly left of east across horizon and back). The object moved slowly to begin but glided unlike anything I have ever seen. It then stood at a dead stop once again for about 30 seconds. After this it ZIPPED QUICKLY AND UNNATURALLY to the left about an entire palms-length when held up to the horizon. After this it stood still for a moment once more, then zipped back to the right to its original position and lowered itself straight down at an unnatural speed. This happened three times and I have three separate videos of the event. Directly before recording the third video, a helicopter made a brief attempt at chasing the object (which prompted me to run into my home to grab my camera for a third recording). (( Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. 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 saw a round black object flying in the sky in a strange flight pattern. This was in day light. It was either small or extremely far away. It was definitely not a plane or a bird. My spouse saw it as well. I have a video if needed.

My family and I were driving from St George, UT to Mesa, AZ. We were on the US-93 highway when I noticed a black rectangular object out of my front windshield flying over my car about 400-500 ft above it. It "flew" over my car and towards the right and I screamed out to my family to check out what it was. My two sons in the backseat saw it and tried to take a picture but they said it slightly expanded and then just disappeared. It made no noise as far as we know and had no markings or lights. There were no wings or propellers.

Driving home saw a Green light jetting across the sky, then it just disappeared into a white “portal”. It was going so fast, and it seemed like it disappeared like when ships go into “Hyperspace” in Star wars. It happened Eastbound on the US-60 around 6:52pm. It looked like a green exhaust trail. There we’re tons of people on the road. I cant be the only one to have seen it.
