My sister and I witnessed a circular, red light zooming across the sky when we took the dog out, far faster than any commercial aircraft/drone we've seen before. It did a loop in the air, the light turned white, it did another loop and promptly moved away within seconds. There was only one craft. We didn't hear any noises like a plane or helicopter make (we get those quite frequently living near a police station and an airport)...it was eerily silent. It made us feel quite uneasy.

Queen Creek, AZ
Bright orange colored object in the sky, still there and has been circling and going back and forth for over two hours now. Just northwest of the moon at this time. Has been making circular and unclear movements for over two hours now, but is definitely moving in weird directions. Not a plane or any aircraft.

I thought it was a helicopter at first bc of the light and thought maybe it was going after someone in the desert but as it got closer I realized and could see clearly it was a traingle no wings no sound, cruising. It looked manmade, like I could see where it was put together not like a futuristic spaceship you usually think of. I pulled over and rolled my window down and watched it cruise into the desert away from the road. I didn't take video bc I was afraid honestly.

Lake Havasu City, AZ
On Sept 3rd 2020, At about 5:10am I was standing on my patio having my first cup of coffee looking at the sky as I do most mornings. The sky was clear with no clouds or smoke. I see what appears to be a satellite traveling from the south to the north. As I track it, from above it, I see what appears to be a star drop towards the satellite. As the ball of light intersects with the satellite, the light suddenly stops and then richochets off to the north north west. The light looks like any other star in the sky but when it dropped it did not have a tail like a normal shooting star it stayed a bright ball of light. I stargaze most mornings and some evenings and am used to seeing satellites, planes, falling stars and other normal sky views.

Early Thursday morning, around 5:30 am. I was checking the security cameras that are mounted on the front of my house. I noticed a blinking object on the camera that faces east. It didn't really move. It flashed for about five minutes then vanished. I'm including a low quality video.

Tempe, AZ
At approximately 2035 local, we observed three bright lights at approximately 110 degrees on the iphone compass. About 40 degrees up from the horizon. They formed a perfect equilateral triangle. They just appeared. Lasted about 10 seconds and just disappeared. Seemed stationary as no movement was observed. No sound was heard. It was a cloudless evening. We observed no color change in the lights.

3 red lights in a triangle formation flying in front of the Catalina Mountain Range then west and south over the city of Tucson. The red lights were steady and not blinki ng. The three lights were in a triangle formation with one in the front and two following. They made the flight in 3 minutes or less from the Catalina Mtns to the southwest over the city and out of sight. I know aircraft after 20 years in the USAF and the were not aircraft.

Three unmistakable lights moving at a speed that i cannot imagine. All in the form of a triangle. Appeared to be connected by a common siloette although i am only definite for the three lights moving south to north. Very surreal. Thanks

Mesa, AZ
I was walking back to a residence from a fast-food place on Mesa Drive and Southern, and as I passed a line of two story townhomes, from the direction of Phoenix, I saw what appeared at first to be a fast moving jet aircraft, but it made no sound, and for an aircraft pushing the speeds it was going, usually you'll hear some kind of roar, and it went fast as it flew by and over me at about 15-20,000 feet. Once it got above me, I noticed it was circular in shape, a puffed out oval-like craft, similiar in appearance to the smaller spacecraft seen in the film, Independence Day, but without the protrusions on top of it. It had a small trailing blue light nestled in the tail, and it reflected the setting sun off in a brilliant gleam from its metal. I could literally see the sun shining off its body. After it flew over the roof of a nearby townhome, to disappear from sight, I rushed to an adjacent road that had a better view, only to find it was gone!

My four-year-old son and I were walking along a dirt path near our home in Prescott Valley AZ. The sun was set but there was still some light in the sky. Only one visible star at this point. I heard a helicopter flying low, so I pointed it out and we watched it fly just above us. Then I noticed above its flight path this large object in the sky. It was brightly shining, silvery, white and could be mistaken for a star but was way too large and had a slight diamond shape with rounded edges. A bright light surrounded the object making it difficult to make out the exact shape. At arms-length I could cover the object with a nickel. It was just sitting there. No movement. For about five minutes, it just hovered in one spot. No sound was ever heard. A woman walked by with her dog. I said to her, "Do you see that thing? What do you think it is?" She said, "I don't know, but I see it!" It hovered for about five more minutes then began to rise and kept rising until it had to of been way out of our atmosphere. As it rose the sky became darker and both my son and I could see three lights flashing along the center of the object. They were yellowish. My son and I watched it for close to an hour until it was a tiny speck and I could no longer point it out from the stars. From my point of view, I could not tell how large this object was, how high in the sky it was, or how fast it was going. I have never seen a UFO before nor thought I ever would. I waited a few days to try to find information online on what it could have been (possibly a high-altitude weather balloon) or if anyone else saw it. I cannot find information on this object.

My wife & I take our dog out at sunset in our yard to enjoy the cool evening air almost every sunset in Prescott Valley, Az. They are so beautiful here. I am an amateur astronomer who has been trying get my wife involved in my hobby with me, I have a 10” reflector telescope a 10x50 binoculars and 15x70 binoculars that I bought for her. We make a game of who see’s the first star or planet and name it. This particular evening just after sunset from our GPS position of N 34° 40’ 19.56”, W 112° 17’ 24.00”, we were expecting to see Antares, Arcturus, Spica, moon, Jupiter & Saturn. I looked up and at approximately 50-55° azimuth and approximately 200° on the compass and saw a very unique, stationary, bright object that was not normal, it should not have been there. To me it appeared stationary, very bright whitish and seemed to have a orange reflection of the sun in it too, this is with my naked eye. I quickly pointed it out to my wife who immediately went into the house to get her binoculars and she was able to see the object with them. She said to her it looked like a glowing fireball orange in the center and yellowish on the outer edges and seemed to be spinning, pretty much what I saw only magnified. We watched for a few minutes, she with her 15x70 binoculars and me with just my eyes, it seemed to rise straight up growing fainter as it did so and eventually disappeared. I did not look at my watch but know the approximate time due to always going out at this timeline. We were dumb founded, neither one of us has ever seen anything like it before. My wife was convinced it was a UFO and talked about reporting it, I was not so eager, although I think it very possible we are not alone and UFO’s are a real possibility. I did not want to come forward. I did not know it but my wife kept looking at the news online to see if anyone else had reported it, when she found someone else did report it to this website we decided to also report what we saw.

It was glowing like a orb and seemed to change shape from triangle to round. Its altitude was as high as air liners fly. It stood still in the sky for thirty minutes and the slowly went straight up and disappeared into the atmosphere. My wife and I watched it and I alerted my neighbors who watched it too. it was daylight out. I took pictures on my phone. I know it wasn't a plane or rocket, having worked for the Air force twenty years I knew the difference. No exhaust like a plane or rocket. Just a glowing mass with no contrail.

It was in the afternoon around sunset, I love in tonopah Arizona and I still don’t have electricity and my pump for my water went out, we sit on 2 acres, and we have a shared well, luckily the neighbors had the well turned on so I had water pressure outside, so I told my wife I was long to shower outside and she brought the soap and my 2 sons were with me, then something catches my eye in the sky and it was a fireball with small fire balls beside it, my wife right away trout it was a meteor, I told her no because the meteor did not dissalear or impact land , what we saw was the object become a fire in the sky and moved like a snake, then that’s when you could see the lights a and the flames were gone and the lights would contract and expand a few times, I would say it was a total of 8 lights or more.then they disappeared. But not 10 seconds later you could see them again and did the same thing , contract and expand, it was exciting to see but later on some f! ear kicked in.

Similar to several nights prior, multiple craft are visible to the southwest with two visible a bit to the north. Multi colored lights and very sudden / fast movements visible from 5 crafts. Three of the crafts appear to be working together and at times a light between one and another (like a line) is visible for a fraction of a second. This was observed by myself and my husband. I am a senior executive for a consulting company and my husband is a retired nuclear plant manager.

I was sitting outside and saw this craft out of the corner of my eye. It was just a very bright orb that was going in a straight line. It didn't make any sound at all. Compared to how high commercial airlines fly it was much lower than that. We watched it for about 3-5 minutes just flying in a very straight line until it disappeared over the trees. There was no blinking lights on it either, no wings. Just one solid orb that was very bright. Not saying it was a UFO at all just very very weird. It didn't seem like a satellite either because it was so low. It was around 8:40-8:45 pm on July 14, 2020. I'm also dumb for not grabbing my phone as well. It was just so intriguing that we didn't think about grabbing phones. Stupid I know.

These objects that I have captured are very bright, sometimes twinkling when I zoom up on them in my camera I see what I am sending you. They are usually in pairs. I find them with my camera every night so far this month of July 2020, all over Arizona. some are a redish color and some very bright whitish. I can see them move around on my camera screen but am unable to record at this time (fixing the problem). These are still pictures I have been able to capture.

About 10 seconds later a helicopter came from the east flying west as if in pursuit but was way to slow. My friend pulled up as i was standing outside and the saw the exact same thing . Then 5 minutes later another friend showed up saying they were about 2 miles away saying the same thing. I briefly caught a glimpse of it on my security cameras digital video recorder.

San Tan Valley, AZ
Walked outside and saw a significant number of lights on the southern horizon that were made up of both moving and stationary objects, all of which were emitting changing color lights. Much activity occurred... several formations of 3-4 crafts appeared to be working in harmony. Light beams were visible between several crafts within each of the formations. My husband (nuclear plant manager) and myself (consultant) were joined by my neighbor who is the wife of a Phoenix police officer and we watched them for several hours. At one point we used a laser pointer and pointed at the crafts (they were clearly not airplanes) and within about 10 minutes of this activity they completely disappeared from the sky. Many of them had been engaged in erratic movements and coordinated movements within their groups.
