A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were driving south down 99th Ave and I noticed the white square that was cloud-like with an orb nearby. We stopped the car on the Southeast Corner of 99th Ave. and Thunderbird and I took a picture. I wish I would have taken a Vid...the object turned around and I saw the side of it, which was grey. When it did that, it appeared that a smokey stream oozed out of the bottom of it. About a minute later it turned around again and it was fully visible as a white, cloud-like square. It started to move further away and shape shifted into a white circle. All the while this was happening, the white/silver orb was stationary and seemed to vanish when the square turned into a circle.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #175133). 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.
