Oval over Phoenix, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
12.11.2020 Subject: Odd object found on Google Earth Street view. To Whom It May Concern: I am sending this information on to you so you can have a look see to come up with your own conclusion. I’m not saying it is a UFO. I am just saying it doesn’t look like a bird, plane or balloon etc. Below is a bullet point list of how to view on Google Earth and other notes or observations I may have. I hope you find it interesting. • If in Google Earth (GE), type in this address to fly you there. It is not my address or anyone I know. It is just what GE lists as a location when in street view. 1615 E. Cielo Grande Ave Phoenix, AZ • Or if in GE, these are their GPS coordinates to get you to the same area: 33 degrees 41’42.56” & 112 degrees 02’51.63” • As you can see, the round ball in the picture with the silvery top and what looks like to be a darkened shadow below. • I realize that in GE Street View, things can become distorted. That is why I am not claiming it is a true UFO. • When GE takes you to this location, click to Street View Icon and try to go down to the very end of the dead end street to get the right view. Reason being, is when I tried going back to this spot later, for some reason GE did not show that view and I had to play around with it to get it back up. Hopefully, you will not have that issue. • When in Street View, for some reason when you click to go back and forth down the street, it sometimes gives you a view that does not show the object. I am not sure if it is a left over picture from a previous Street View series or what. But what I do look for is the bird that is sitting on top of the street lamp post as the indicator. • Deer Valley Airport, which is a smaller airport is to the West. • In testing my idea by going back out the street to find a plane flying in, you can definitely tell that it is a plane coming in to land at the airport. But what I am looking at seems like a round ball which to me is definitely not a plane. Thanks, and hopefully you may have an answer for this. Sincerely, Phoenix Arizona Resident. I will also send an email to the address you list below with the pictures of what I am speaking about.

I randomly just wanted to look at the stars and watch the sunrise.. it looked like a star at first, but it was moving, and no sound came from it, and I was confused because it moved from one point of the sky, to another point of the sky really rapidly in the blink of an eye. It got slightly brighter as it moves towards the south. There were no other lights on this orb and not a visible craft. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

I was traveling on Hwy 87 toward Gilbert. It was around 6 pm. The sun was setting. At first I noticed a group of four crafts in the sky. What alarmed me was how close they seemed to be to each other and that they were slowly moving back and forth in the sky. One by one, the crafts disappeared. I made a turn onto Gilbert Road and saw three more crafts not moving in the sky. These crafts spread out and formed a triangle

Was in back yard letting my dog use restroom!!! Out of the corner of my eye I saw a bright white sphere light heading west to east!!! By the time it got over me causing my head to turn directly upwards w/ my neck bent all the way back!!! I saw a slight translucent soft glow of a blue light surrounding the entire extremely bright white spherical orb!!! The white light sphere was incased w/in that soft blue glow while it passed directly over me @ a high rate of speed towards the east & then all of a sudden it started to fade away, until completely gone & disappeared all together!!! Which was hella strange!!! It didn't fly off where I couldn't see it anymore!!! It literally slowly disappeared just after passing over my head!!! It was to close to me for me NOT to still see it!!! Y'know!!! Keep in mind there was absolutely no noise, no additional blinking of lights of anykind whatsoever!!! There were other planes & helicopters flying around but they were to far from me to hear anything!!! Those other aircrafts were further away & I still could see their blinking lights like all aircrafts do!!! This particular light again didn't blink whatsoever & again was completely silent!!! The speed as to which is was going was a lot faster than any of the other aircrafts in the air!!! I looked up the International Space Station & it flew by over my area early this morning!!! So, I am absolutely complex as to what it was??? As it was between 6:00pm & 7:00pm!!! Very strange indeed it was!!!

The picture was taken by a friend of my brother's wife. The friend was taking a picture of the "blue moon" on or around August 30,2023. She did not notice the object when taking the picture, but noticed it later when checking out the picture of the full moon and flowers. My brother sent me the picture and I cropped it to see the object better. Honestly, I do not know what the object is. If it's a hoax, I'd like to know so I can pass it on to my brother.

I live near central Phoenix. At 2:10 am I was looking south and saw something in the sky moving from West to East. It looked like it was near South Mountain. It was at the altitude a plane would fly. It was like a red, orange, and silver energy field propelling something forward. The front had a rainbow shape and every few seconds it would propel something forward and make a little ripple effect. I didn't see a definitive aircraft only this strange energy field. That's the best way to describe it. It didn't fade out, it just kept going. I didn't see any kind of fire, just this sparkly like energy field propelling something forward. My view was obstructed by a building so I didn't see it for long. It was big. It had to have been caught on camera. I'm surprised the news didn't report it, but they're controlled by the government so I understand. This was like nothing I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot living in Phoenix. This was not a human aircraft. It was not fireworks or a bomb or a meteor. This had to be some type of alien craft. Thank you for listening. Please contact me if you would like to speak to me.

Heard talking with nothing there. Can only see these things through camera. Seen things move by themselves by invisible force. Seen an alien in invisible cloak. Had police and multiple people controlled by these things. Seen them cause batteries to catch fire. Seen black orbs around random times, and some get stuck In mirrors. had some dangerous life threatening encounters. Police wrongful put me in jail. All started last December in palm springs and followed me to Phoenix [NUFORC annotation: Hoax - Probable]
