Cigar over Phoenix, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My story is very thrilling. My family and i were BBQ in our backyard. We took our seats around our fire pit and started to eat our food. One of us saw a light in the sky. He said, ''Guys! Did you see that?'' We said, ''no, what did you see?'' he said ''it was a light, i don't it was a shooting star it didn't leave a streak. but not only that....it was red and yellow. We stared like it was pulling our leg. suddenly we all saw the red and yellow craft which was a cigar shape. After about 1 it went away. The whole time the crafts were just sitting there and it almost seemed like they were spectating us. We all went to bed thinking it was just military aircrafts. but here is where it gets interesting....one us (which was a teen girl) said she woke up and heard a rumbling sound in our backyard...she said that she looked out the window and stunned to see little eyes staring at her (directly at her). she also said that that she saw an aircraft but it was very small. It was only about 10 by 4 craft. She ran to her bed and went under her covers and stayed there in till dawn. She didn't sleep at all that night and said in the morning what she saw. we went outside and we were shocked to see a lining of a large circle in the dirt. In till then we all think it was maybe a UFO. so that is why we came to you guys. Please email me back as soon as you guys can, so i can and my family figure this mystery out. There is much more details to tell. And when you email me back, please tell me if there has been any similar sightings as what i saw.

I randomly just wanted to look at the stars and watch the sunrise.. it looked like a star at first, but it was moving, and no sound came from it, and I was confused because it moved from one point of the sky, to another point of the sky really rapidly in the blink of an eye. It got slightly brighter as it moves towards the south. There were no other lights on this orb and not a visible craft. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

I was traveling on Hwy 87 toward Gilbert. It was around 6 pm. The sun was setting. At first I noticed a group of four crafts in the sky. What alarmed me was how close they seemed to be to each other and that they were slowly moving back and forth in the sky. One by one, the crafts disappeared. I made a turn onto Gilbert Road and saw three more crafts not moving in the sky. These crafts spread out and formed a triangle

Was in back yard letting my dog use restroom!!! Out of the corner of my eye I saw a bright white sphere light heading west to east!!! By the time it got over me causing my head to turn directly upwards w/ my neck bent all the way back!!! I saw a slight translucent soft glow of a blue light surrounding the entire extremely bright white spherical orb!!! The white light sphere was incased w/in that soft blue glow while it passed directly over me @ a high rate of speed towards the east & then all of a sudden it started to fade away, until completely gone & disappeared all together!!! Which was hella strange!!! It didn't fly off where I couldn't see it anymore!!! It literally slowly disappeared just after passing over my head!!! It was to close to me for me NOT to still see it!!! Y'know!!! Keep in mind there was absolutely no noise, no additional blinking of lights of anykind whatsoever!!! There were other planes & helicopters flying around but they were to far from me to hear anything!!! Those other aircrafts were further away & I still could see their blinking lights like all aircrafts do!!! This particular light again didn't blink whatsoever & again was completely silent!!! The speed as to which is was going was a lot faster than any of the other aircrafts in the air!!! I looked up the International Space Station & it flew by over my area early this morning!!! So, I am absolutely complex as to what it was??? As it was between 6:00pm & 7:00pm!!! Very strange indeed it was!!!

The picture was taken by a friend of my brother's wife. The friend was taking a picture of the "blue moon" on or around August 30,2023. She did not notice the object when taking the picture, but noticed it later when checking out the picture of the full moon and flowers. My brother sent me the picture and I cropped it to see the object better. Honestly, I do not know what the object is. If it's a hoax, I'd like to know so I can pass it on to my brother.

I live near central Phoenix. At 2:10 am I was looking south and saw something in the sky moving from West to East. It looked like it was near South Mountain. It was at the altitude a plane would fly. It was like a red, orange, and silver energy field propelling something forward. The front had a rainbow shape and every few seconds it would propel something forward and make a little ripple effect. I didn't see a definitive aircraft only this strange energy field. That's the best way to describe it. It didn't fade out, it just kept going. I didn't see any kind of fire, just this sparkly like energy field propelling something forward. My view was obstructed by a building so I didn't see it for long. It was big. It had to have been caught on camera. I'm surprised the news didn't report it, but they're controlled by the government so I understand. This was like nothing I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot living in Phoenix. This was not a human aircraft. It was not fireworks or a bomb or a meteor. This had to be some type of alien craft. Thank you for listening. Please contact me if you would like to speak to me.

Heard talking with nothing there. Can only see these things through camera. Seen things move by themselves by invisible force. Seen an alien in invisible cloak. Had police and multiple people controlled by these things. Seen them cause batteries to catch fire. Seen black orbs around random times, and some get stuck In mirrors. had some dangerous life threatening encounters. Police wrongful put me in jail. All started last December in palm springs and followed me to Phoenix [NUFORC annotation: Hoax - Probable]
