Light over Wilcox (near), AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was traveling from Tucson to Morenci, AZ, on Interstate 10 when I saw a bright light resembling a planet. I saw the light increase in intensity a bit and begin to move. Suddenly it shot straight up at a high rate of speed and the light turned off. This was at the close of the Christmas/ New Years Holidays and the interstate was very heavy with traffic so many others should have seen it. I was looking northeast towards the / Pinalenos/Grahams Mountains and traveling eastbound. This was approximately 3 miles west of the exit for AZ 191 North.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #152249). 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.
