FORM 112 - MADAR SIGHTING INFORMATION REPORT
 


SURPRISE, ARIZONA   - MAY 15, 2022

I.   DESCRIPTION OF INCIDENT

May 15, 2022; Surprise, Arizona
11:54 pm MST. A total lunar eclipse, also known as a "blood moon" was being observed by a witness laying on his back on a trampoline, talking on his cellphone to his girlfriend. He had just gotten off the phone at about 11:54  pm, and continued looking upward when he observed a triangle shaped object, also described as a boomerang, which seemed to drop straight down to an altitude above the clouds then move off to the north until it could not be observed due to the distance away from the witness. He continued laying down looking up when he believes three minutes went by when another triangle object of the same size dropped down and moved north the same as the first one. A third one triangle shaped object dropped down but was considerably larger in size. The first ones were similar in size to the jets he observed two-three times a week, but the third one was 20-40 times that size. And it had the appearance of what is described as a re-entry burning effect on the bottom of the object. Not as dramatic as a rocket re-entry but some "heat" signature could be seen as the object dropped down in the same area as the previous two triangles. Only this larger object emitted a "glittery orange color for a short period of time". The witness also stated the larger triangle moved off to the north but did turn at a slight angle, and the others moved more in a straight line. Finally, a fourth triangle, similar to the first two dropped down then moved north of the witness. All four triangles were silent and moved at a high rate of speed. Known jet fighters in the area would be considered as moving like snails compared to the objects he described. There were no light sources on any of the objects. What can best be described as the objects were attempting to use some form of cloaking as they entered and traversed. After the sightings his cellphone had a black screen and had to be rebooted. Estimated total time involved was 12-15 mins (NUFORC submittal. Interview by CCO*).


II - MADAR DATA

Using the specific time given by the witness for when the four objects appeared to be cloaking (as he originally described it) at 11:54 (6:54:19) the nearest node, MADAR site 201, also located in Surprise, AZ, was checked for data. According to the printout, the field reading raised slightly to 3.38 (col. 4). However, the compass (col.3) moved over 11 degrees! Over an 9 minute period both field and compass varied, especially the first 6 mins.  The sighting lasted from 11:45 to 11:55 pm.

III.  STATUS OF INVESTIGATION

May 16 - Witness filed report with nuforc.
Aug 17 - CIR submitted to nuforc. Christian Stepien replied with contact information. Witness wished to be contacted.
Aug 19 - MOC asked an Arizona contact who the Arizona SD was.
Aug 21 - SD Stacey contacted FI and asked for a followup. FI had numerous reservations and was hesitant to investigate.
Sep 10 - As of this date no investigation had been planned or conducted.
Sep 15 - One of our Case Certification Officers contacted the witness and obtained the interview.

IV.   CONCLUSIONS

Dr. J. Allen Hynek often referred to "high strangeness" cases, sometimes where somebody would report something that a lot of other people should have observed and reported, but didn't. This event seems credble, along with the witness, also being articulate and credible in describing the event. Several unusual factors make this case stand out from other triangle reports. Without further information, media or military releases concerning this event, this case is closed and listed as an Unknown/UAP event. That would be the case if there was no MADAR data, but that data is what led us to investigate this case in the first place.
