Unknown over Roosevelt Lake, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was looking out the window of the plane while in decent to Phoeniz Az. I saw an object moving fast near the lake. The obect was moving in a straight line then made a 90 degree turn and disappeared into the mountain that surround the lake. I have never seen an object move in that way.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #177356). 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.
