ABSTRACT: Eyewitness transcript follows: Questions are bold. Her answers are in "quotes."
Dear Britt, Thank you for sending us the UFO report. There were a couple of details omitted. Please answer these questions for me to help us fill in the blanks...
1. Did the sighting occur in Arizona? "Yes"
2. What object, held at arm's length, best matches the objects size: A quarter, nickel, dime, penny, other?
"The light emitted was the size of a quarter it was too bright to see the object itself."
3. With the horizon at 9:00 and overhead being 12:00 high, what station of the clock would the object be
a. when you first saw it : "between 10:00 and 11:00"
b. when it left your view: "stayed in same spot"
4. Using a compass as your guide, what direction was the object...
a. when you first saw it? "SSE"
b. What direction was the object when it disappeared? "SSE"
5. Describe the weather for me. Was it partly-mostly cloudy, cloudy or was the sky clear? "Very Clear"
6. How many other people saw it and what were there ages?
"3 people age 22, age 25, and age 21. I know more people saw it driving on the freeway because everyone sped off after it disappeared."
7. Did the object change colors? Please describe the color changes and what the object was doing when it changed color.
"The object was hovering it... it went from a yellow to orange to intense red in a matter of 30 sec's or less and as it changed colors the glow around it got bigger."
8. Describe the incident in detail; including why did you think that it was "scary?" (See original report)
"It was very scary because I have never seen anything down there we are not by any normal flight paths. The intensity of the light was outer-worldly. I never seen anything like it... If someone told me a star blew up i would believe it.... All I can say is when we saw it and everyone else on this state route saw it we all knew this wasn't normal and everyone started to drive faster like 90+ miles an hour. Then what frightened me more was less then one minute later 2 fighter jets or extremely quick planes were patrolling the area after it disappeared for about an hour. When you compared the size of those planes compared to the light in the sky the plane were extremely tiny compared to that light."
