A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Monday Nov. 26, 2018; at approx 8:40 p.m. On SR87 heading South to eventual destination of Tucson. Before N. signal Peak Rd. Right after White Mountain pass Rd. I saw an orange-red light that had no afterglow. The color was almost neon in nature. Shape; light went straight up into an upside down U then extended down. The light appeared, then went black, then came back on, then off. The truck in front of us slowed then stopped in the road for a few seconds, then drove off. A car driving the opposite way stopped by the side of the road and 2 passengers got out of their car and looked up. My husband, our driver, cursed at the driver in front of us who had stopped and then we took off. My husband made no mention of the light and I did not mention it too him. My husband is retired law enforcement, he would not talk about such things.

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.
