Unknown over Arizona City, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I witnessed two blinking lights several hundred yards away. I videoed them and watched them after I turned the video off and they tilted to to the right and pulled away. The lights were blinking in sequence alternating between right and left. A plane does not do this with it's light as they are either a rotating beacon or a strobe. Also notice there are no navigation lights (green and red). I mentioned this in the video. I could go on with details but MUFON already said they can't identify them but they are man made. I will be happy to send the letter they sent me.

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.

An object, that brightly lit up the cloud cover it traveled through, flew silently, at tremendous speed, from East to West over Arizona City, AZ at approximately 4:50 am 08/21/2022. It slightly changed direction south about midway through the sighting. It covered the viewable distance horizon to horizon in approximately 15 to 20 seconds. I did not see the object directly as it was traveling in the cloud cover. It appeared to be a single object capable of quiet, very fast travel and maneuverability.

I witnessed these lights over a neighbors house. Not sure how far away they were. Once I saw them I went back into the house and got my phone. I started videoing the lights. I narrated the video. I caught other aircraft but they all had navigation lights. If you notice the angle of the lights change and I am in the same spot. There is a block fence in front of me that you can see at the bottom of the video. I have no idea what this is and MUFON said it was man made. Maybe but the explanation they gave was weak at best. I have over 40 years in aviation and I can't explain the lights.

It looked like a normal flare from berry (sic. Barry) goldwater test range but instead of descending it was going higher/closer then slowly went from red to very bright white and emitted a circular cloud/fog after it disappeared it left a faint blue mark in the black night sky that is still visable from my point of view. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD
