Light over Clifton, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Witnessed light travel in a straight line from the north for approximately 20 seconds it then executed a 90 degree turn towards the east and proceeded for roughly 60 seconds then slowly faded over the course of 10 seconds. The light was very bright almost as bright as the North Star. And it did not behave or look like a fighter jet or commercial aircraft.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #159803). 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.
