Formation over Highway 87, AZ

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

While coming into Fountian Hills from Payson on hwy 87 my brother and I noticed two blinking red lights that resembled lights that are put on the tops of the mountains for airplanes too see. The problem with that is the lights were opposite the Superstition Mountains and across hwy 87 where there are no mountains. Just north of fort mcdowell casino. Constantly blinking and dark red in color the lights went from stationary and split apart to Slide over and become one unit with the other blinking light. Next the lights flew in unison and constantly blinking those dark red lights straight into the Superstition Mountains where they never emerged. It flew that distance in about 20 seconds before disappearing in what seemed like the mountain. Crazy

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.
