Circle over South Phoenix/Picacho Peak, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We watched about 20 star/satellite type lights moving from West to East while camping at Picacho Peak State Park and facing North. They were in a formation pattern appearing one by one above us, traveling at the same speed and disappearing one by one to the east. There was no flashing light, had the brightness of stars and did not break their pattern.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #151880). 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.
