Other over Mesa, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Observed 2 bright lights coming out of the haze of the sky. Noticed them coming from the Superstition Mountains wilderness towards me in north east Mesa against Usery Mountian. The haze of the sky provided a cool looking effect with the crafts strong lights. Once the first craft came over me I noticed a strong sound of what appears to be turbine. I immediately noticed there was no wings which I found unusual. I mentioned to my wife that fact and she didn’t not notice. The second flew over both of us and my wife mentioned that I was indeed correct and also added why is the bottom so lit up? The entire bottom of the crafts were very brightly illuminated with warm white light. The best vehicle description that I can relate is that both resembled the drop ship from the movie Aliens. Very similar in shape and look. Personally I feel these were both test vehicles from one of the defense contractors in the area. Definitely different in look to commercial aircraft and the way they were lit up was very strange. From the way they flew over the mountain ranges I would guess they were using military grade night vision.

I saw a round black object flying in the sky in a strange flight pattern. This was in day light. It was either small or extremely far away. It was definitely not a plane or a bird. My spouse saw it as well. I have a video if needed.

My family and I were driving from St George, UT to Mesa, AZ. We were on the US-93 highway when I noticed a black rectangular object out of my front windshield flying over my car about 400-500 ft above it. It "flew" over my car and towards the right and I screamed out to my family to check out what it was. My two sons in the backseat saw it and tried to take a picture but they said it slightly expanded and then just disappeared. It made no noise as far as we know and had no markings or lights. There were no wings or propellers.

Driving home saw a Green light jetting across the sky, then it just disappeared into a white “portal”. It was going so fast, and it seemed like it disappeared like when ships go into “Hyperspace” in Star wars. It happened Eastbound on the US-60 around 6:52pm. It looked like a green exhaust trail. There we’re tons of people on the road. I cant be the only one to have seen it.
