Wickenburg, AZ

On July 16th at 2:17 am the camera snapped 2 pictures of something I cannot explain, and for whatever reason it did not snap the 3rd “C” picture. I’m sending the 2 pictures along with a daytime picture of the runway for comparison. Of interest to me is the fact that whatever the object is it does not appear to be moving, it’s in the same place in both pictures. At first I thought it must be some kind of bug on the lens, but the camera lens and the trigger lens are 2 different things in 2 different places on the camera. Also, I live on t! he border of 2 Military Operations Areas (MOAs) and I can sit out on my porch and watch the F16’s and F35’s out of Luke Air Force base in their night time training as they launch their flares and chaff. This is not that. These pictures are looking west into the MOA, but the object has to be near the camera for it to trigger.

Wickenburg, AZ

On Wednesday September 17th, 2014, at approximately 9:35 PM Pacific Time, I was driving west on Sun Valley Parkway and saw two amber lights that were circular in shape about a mile apart and about 2 miles up in the sky. My guess the location was about 15 miles south to southwest of Wickenburg Arizona. About a minute later 2 more appeared near the north amber light. They appeared at times to be slightly glowing. They were not moving and I heard no noise. At about 9:40 PM, they just disappeared within a few seconds of each other. I then looked everywhere in that general direction for the remainder of my trip home for the next 10 minutes but never saw them again. This incident occurred about 30 miles northwest of Luke Air Force Base and about 10 miles west of the secondary Luke Air Force Base used for emergency landings.
