Black Canyon City, AZ

1/2/2016 21:35 A cold and partly cloudy night sky in Black Canyon City, Arizona. Which is twenty five miles north of Phoenix on I-17. I was leaving my house for work, driving west down the road. When I spotted three orange objects coming from the north flying above I 17 headed south. I stop and got out of my car to see what I was witnessing. Each one of the orange lights were at different altitudes and each orange light was acting differently when flying. The first orange light was the highest and look like it was flying straight. Then it shot straight up into the clouds. The second orange light was lower and was traveling slower than the first orange light. Then the scond orange light went up into the clouds at a fouty five degree angle and disappeared into the clouds. The third orange light was the lowest and the slowest. It look like it was taking it's old sweet time flying above I 17. Then the thrid orange light stared to climb slowly and all so disappeared in the clouds. None of the orange lights made a sound. I was about one mile from I-17 all I could hear was the traffic from I-17. I just stood there and said to myself, "What did I just see?" I know what airplanes and helicopters look like at night. There is a lot of air traffic fly over here.

Black Canyon City, AZ

At 8:45 PM, I was in the parking lot of family dollar in Black Canyon City, waiting for my family to come out of the store, when in the east there was a bright orange light. I looked in the car for my binoculars on the seat in the 2 seconds it took to do that the light was in the North immediately over head.. I watched it quickly fly away.. At that time my family came out of the store.. In the east we all witnessed two bright orange lights parallel to each other then they turned together and slowly their lights faded away.. That was at 8:50 about 5 minutes after the one I encountered. Five minutes later the same thing happened with two lights. It looked like one craft very very large at 9:00 we did not see anything else. When it turned it was without a doubt one craft it looks like the wings were tilting to gain altitude.
