Unknown over Heber, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was truck driving 20 miles north of Heber, AZ. I noticed what looked like a plane in the night sky. I quickly realized that a plane does not travel as fast as what I saw. It was approximately 20 miles away moving from east to west, at about 15 thousand feet. It had an amber light at the front and rear of the craft, no other lights. It moved at what looked like 3 times faster than an F-15 fighter jet. I observed this object for approximately 15 seconds before it dissapeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #160291). 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.
