Unspecified over Lake Pleasant, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While using Google Earth to scan the area around Phoenix, hoping to gain any insight into why it seems to be continually visited, I discovered strangely linear formations on the bottom of Lake Pleasant. I'm uncertain as to whether or not they're related to all the activity. But I've no idea what they are. Although Google Earth gives oceanic depth, it doesn't give the depth of the lake. It does appear however that the lake is formed by a series of descending shelves, under which anything could be concealed. It just might merit some investigation.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #146208). 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.
