The report, as filed
I was walking back to a residence from a fast-food place on Mesa Drive and Southern, and as I passed a line of two story townhomes, from the direction of Phoenix, I saw what appeared at first to be a fast moving jet aircraft, but it made no sound, and for an aircraft pushing the speeds it was going, usually you'll hear some kind of roar, and it went fast as it flew by and over me at about 15-20,000 feet. Once it got above me, I noticed it was circular in shape, a puffed out oval-like craft, similiar in appearance to the smaller spacecraft seen in the film, Independence Day, but without the protrusions on top of it. It had a small trailing blue light nestled in the tail, and it reflected the setting sun off in a brilliant gleam from its metal. I could literally see the sun shining off its body. After it flew over the roof of a nearby townhome, to disappear from sight, I rushed to an adjacent road that had a better view, only to find it was gone!

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.

I saw a round black object flying in the sky in a strange flight pattern. This was in day light. It was either small or extremely far away. It was definitely not a plane or a bird. My spouse saw it as well. I have a video if needed.

My family and I were driving from St George, UT to Mesa, AZ. We were on the US-93 highway when I noticed a black rectangular object out of my front windshield flying over my car about 400-500 ft above it. It "flew" over my car and towards the right and I screamed out to my family to check out what it was. My two sons in the backseat saw it and tried to take a picture but they said it slightly expanded and then just disappeared. It made no noise as far as we know and had no markings or lights. There were no wings or propellers.

Driving home saw a Green light jetting across the sky, then it just disappeared into a white “portal”. It was going so fast, and it seemed like it disappeared like when ships go into “Hyperspace” in Star wars. It happened Eastbound on the US-60 around 6:52pm. It looked like a green exhaust trail. There we’re tons of people on the road. I cant be the only one to have seen it.
