Light over Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Dark Sky footage at one of my weather stations captured an unexplained image. This Image is an 8 second exposure that repeats every 5 minutes of the night sky at a remote weather station site. Upon reviewing the timelapse, I found one image displaying a point of light traveling 60-80 miles in that 8 second exposure, along an irregular pathway. I welcome further review! See the public footage here: (odd image occurs at 12:37am on Oct 21, 2023) https://webcam.io/webcams/P1j5xz
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #179044). 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.
