A perplexing celestial phenomenon was observed in the Arizona sky on May 6, according to a recent testimony published on the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) website.
Around 9:20 pm local time, a Tucson resident was enjoying an
evening on his back patio when a bright white flash caught his eye.
"At first, it looked like a meteor falling from east to west at
an angle of about 45 degrees," the witness, who remained
anonymous, recounts.
However, just as the object seemed about to burn out, the
celestial phenomenon made a startling change in trajectory. "It
suddenly made a 90-degree turn, shooting straight upwards
vertically, then immediately changed course southward before
disappearing," the observer describes.
Perplexed, he quickly ruled out the hypothesis of a fighter jet,
having heard no engine noise despite the apparent proximity of the
phenomenon, estimated to be about 100 kilometers away. "It
happened way too fast to be a jet," the witness insists.
The descriptions of the object, its bright white luminosity
leaving a trail in its wake, and its inexplicable changes in
direction defy simple explanation. Was it a strange rocky bolide
burning up in the atmosphere? Or a constructed object of
indeterminate shape and nature?
"I thought it was a meteor until it changed direction,"
the baffled observer admits, days after the event. For now, this
witness joins the long list of people reporting having witnessed an
unidentified flying object in the American sky.
