Goodyear, AZ
On July 4, 2020, I had a sighting that will stick with me for the rest of my life. I was out in the backyard with my mom watching some fireworks when I saw two bright, red lights hovering in the sky. After several moments, it was apparent this wasn’t a firework. My first thought is that it might have been a drone (I’m an FAA Certified Part 107 drone pilot), but I’ve never seen a drone with lights like that. Attached is a picture and a video I shot from my backyard. This was taken in Goodyear, Arizona, and it appears to be within Goodyear airspace, which is restricted due to the nearby Air Force base (F-16 and F-35 training base) and several airports including the Goodyear Airport. It was not moving at all, though the video was shaky because I was trying to get closer and the camera was unstable. When I saw it, it was hovering there steadily. After about a minute of doing so, the lights shut off like someone flipped a switch. It didn't turn direction, it didn't descend or ascend, the lights just went out. My mom saw it on a separate occasion, about 10 minutes earlier that same night. Her experience was different than mine. She saw it hovering and not moving at all. Then it abruptly moved to the right a little bit, the lights turned blue, and it disappeared.

Corona de Tucson, AZ
I was taken pictures of Monsoon rain in Corona de Tucson, AZ at 3:23 PM. Corona de Tucson is southeast of Tucson. I was looking just about due East at the Santa Rita mountain foothill area taken pictures. I was using a Nikon camera, D500 with a 18 to 300m lens, taken rapid pictures, 3 to 5 per per. second. Didn’t notice the object till I downloaded pictures. Pic ObjectClouds07022020_01.jpg is the first pic with no object in frame along with ObjectClouds07022020_02, both had a shutter speed of 1/320 sec. Pic ObjectClouds07022020_03 and 05, both had shutter speed of 1/100 and focal length of 18mm and taken at 3:24 PM. Object is orange looking, saucer shaped just about in the middle of pic just above ridge. In pic 05 object has move to the left-north and increase in altitude.

I was having a restless night, so was awake early. I was staring at the ceiling when the object entered my field of view, through the window above our bed. It was as bright as a star and clearly spherical. It was moving at a steady velocity from SW to NE. When I noticed the object I immediately put on my glasses for a better look and watched it until it went out of sight. I jumped out of bed, headed for the back door to my patio, grabbed my Nikon binoculars on the way out. I regained visual contact with the object again as it proceeded NE and got the binoculars on it again. It definitely was not a conventional aircraft, neither rotary or fixed wing. There were no additional lights of any kind or color, only the bright illumination of the sphere. I am accustomed to seeing satellites in the night sky, in different orbits, at different velocities, and this was no satellite either. The satellites are small specks, and this object was many times larger in terms of visual angle subtended. It moved smoothly, and I listened for any sounds of an engine...it was silent. It did not maneuver, jink or turn . It did not change speed. I watched it through my binoculars until it disappeared. I was a USAF pilot ('72-'85) with global flying experience and also spend time at night stargazing and observing the city with binoculars. I don't know what this object was, but I know what it was not. It was nothing conventional. I live in the foothills of the Tucson mountains, in a dark skies area, and have a very good view of the sky and our surroundings, especially the east.

An unusual light in the sky drew my attention so I continued to watch it for 15-20 seconds (noting that it did not seem to have any blinking lights that conventional aircraft are required to have by law ). Craft was on a south to north heading and by the feel of the motion and brightness of the object, It seemed to be quite high in altitude. Which struck me as odd because it was moving across the sky at a faster pace then any jets that I commonly see in the day/night sky. The craft would also do these very smooth and consistent horizontal sweeps as it flew. Back and forth from left to right and back again. Almost playful really... Suddenly the craft turned a very bright light downward towards the ground. Seemed as bright as fog lights on a jetliner, but no jetliner i know of has their foglights mounted on such a swivel as to be able to point from the front of the craft to the bottom. Shortly after the light was shone downward, the craft quickly faded in brightness until I lost sight of it. It either blinked out of existence or simply turned all the crafts lights off. Hard to tell really. My attention was immediately diverted to another two craft, identical to the first, not very far away in the evening sky. These two craft were very interesting. Upon first glance of the two craft, I could immediately tell that one craft was travelling at much higher speed ( again , north to south heading ) than its counterpart. The thing is though... the slower of these two craft was still traversing the night sky faster then any plane or jet that commonly fly these skies. As they came directly overhead ( at similar high altitude of first craft ) the two craft were weaving left and right in graceful sweeping arcs. With the speed and fluid grace they displayed, it again felt as if they were playing. Almost similar to how two small birds may interact with each other mid-flight. As the two craft continued travelling northbound, I was suprised to see the craft in 2nd place gaining, and eventually overtaking the craft that was previosuly winning what i then considered to be a playful race between the two lights. The two craft flew far enough for me to lose sight of them about 25-40 seconds after first seeing them. I am no ufo enthusiast nor conspiracy theorist. I dont believe in farfetched ideas about aliens and their possible agendas. I am simply a man who has seen something highly unusual and suspicious in the sky. Was it aliens? Who's to say. But I can say the lights showed no conventional signs of normalcy for aircraft. From the speed and maneuverability, to the nature of their flightpath. (sorry , have no footage. and in truth, any footage taken wouldve been your run of the mill, blurry lights on a drab black pixelated background ). Thank you for your time. And thank you for what your organization is attempting to accomplish. Cheers

The first one came from the north followed by some from the north east then they started coming from the north west and then the West all of them flew to pretty much the same point near the star Arcturus then turned and headed south east all heading to the same place they were all whitish yellow and very high (higher than most planes) in the sky they were also very hard to see and didn't seem that bright on account of them being at such a high altitude I heard no jet engines or propellers some of them were flying quite close to each other while the majority flew one after the other about 45 seconds apart from one another I have a feeling that all the pilots were Cozicci (spelt with backwards C's) from Sirius A's- Deneb

I saw one very bright light shaped like a ball descending from up high then two other ball of lights came out of the first light and formed into a triangle then more lights appeared and didn’t move for a while so I was able to count about twenty lights then they started moving in circles around each other and suddenly all lights started to fly crazy over each other it was like if it was out of star wars. I stayed and watched all of it until only one was left and it looked like it spilled some dark faded like smoke before ascending back up and disappearing.

On June 17th 2020 at approximately 2130 hours while taking a night drive to the area of Pena Blanca Lake, about 10 miles west of Nogales, Arizona my wife and I observed about 5 white to yellowish lights in the western sky drifting what appeared to be north. The lights appeared to be hoovering over a ridge. No engine noise or airplane noises were heard. The lights just seemed to vanish as we came around a bend in the road.

When I looked closer there were two silvery - white lights. Side by side I would guess 200 ft apart, and 200 ft above the mountain top, and behind the mountain maybe a quarter of a mile. The size is twice what would be a light on a radio tower. When I started observing, they both blinked together, then right left right left. Then the weirdest thing. The right one went to the left one as a hair thin piece of light. Like a zip line. When it hit the left one it double in size for half a second. In my mind I heard a little "ping" sond. This happened twice. Then they both appeared a moment, this time horizontal. Then disappeared and I didn't see them again.

I was riding my bicycle while meditating on the act of inviting any intelligence that could potentially hear me for open communication and contact. I told them that I bring a message of love and peace and a pure desire for understanding and learning. I acknowledged that they (whoever can hear me) will have say over how the communication happens.I was meditating on that really hard and when I stopped my bike, I looked up and there were multiple golden balls/points of light glittering in the sky. Some remained stationary, some moved around, and some of them seemed to jump across the sky. I was able to record some video. I have seen these several times before and am happy to provide more information upon request.

Saw multiple lights in the sky moving across the horizon. There was an initial group that is shown in the video. Several straggling lights were observed after the initial group moving erratically. All lights were at an elevation above the clouds. They can be observed moving behind the clouds. They were visible moving from the western horizon to the eastern horizon. It appeared that there were conventional aircraft following the objects.

Chandlers, AZ
Oval shaped white orb seen flying over downtown Chandler at about 3am. Approximated to be size of jumbo airplane flying at about 500-800 feet high. Unable to gu ess speed. 80-100mph maybe? Object was not solid. Very blurry and not one solid white light but rather multiple shades of "white light". Blurriness is not due to poor eyesight. It more so appeared to be phasing in or out of this plane/dimension. This would be my first up-close encounter of high strangeness.

Two blinking lights on far end of each other blinking red, blue and green in a pattern almost as a circle. The object was moving but slowly then stood still. Didn’t stay outside to keep watching because of fear.

Saw a white cross shaped figure in the sky, thought it may have been a bird at first, object was flying NW and never “flapped it’s wings” as birds do. It was flying in a straight line. No engine noise like a plane. Object disappearing into the sky, no clouds. No other birds or objects around it. The sky was clear blue and it just disappeared into the sky. Definitely not a bird or a plane

I was walking my dog around 6:15 this morning and I looked up to notice two metallic gray, triangular shaped flying craft. They were hovering, made no sound and stayed in place while I was watching them for about 2 minutes. I took my eyes off them for a second and when I looked back, they disappeared and I could not locate them again.

Soon after dusk when sky became dark Just below Arcturus a very fast light was going traveling. After 45 seconds it was no longer visible as if traveled further out of sight. It was at a very high altitude and definitely not a plane.

had just seen the ISS in the sky after my startracker app alerted me. about a minute after it disappeared, what appeared to look like a bright star could be seen at 90 degrees, directly overhead, heading east from the west. i immediately referred to the tracker and could not identify the object as a satellite or anything. i began filming with my phone, even though it wasn't visible on the screen, i thought maybe it would show if i lightened the video later. this is how i managed to capture this crazy sound, it sounded like a frequency being tuned, or a microphone feeding back. it seemed omnipresent, got louder for about 10 seconds and then quickly faded away. about 15 seconds later the object disappeared.

It was a black object moving north. At first I though it was a buzzard. It going about 100 to 150 mph at about 1000 ft. It was going too fast and a straight to be a buzzard. There was a 737 flying above it at about 5000 ft. It was a clear day and no clouds. It was shaped like the object from the U.S. Navy video ,not the the tictac object. It was not a buzzard because they never fly in a straight line. The 737 was flying much faster that the object. There was no sound from the object but I could hear the 737.

I was a passenger in a Ford Tacoma 4 x 4. I looked over my right shoulder towards the north over a tall mountain range. I saw a white ball motionless as if it were hovering. I watched the ball for about five minutes thinking after driving I would lose visual. As we kept driving for approximately 20 minutes I maintained visual on the craft. It did not seem to move but maybe it was going the same Same speed as the car. It looks like a perfect sphere ball sometimes almost silver. It was several miles away from me and hovering approximately 8 to 15,000 feet in the air. Are used a Phone app called binoculars and attempted to get a closer view from my moving car. As I did so I for a brief short moment was able to look at the craft. It seemed a perfect circle. It was white and silver and seems almost motionless. As I focused my binocular apps on the possible craft it would seem to blur as if it had changed so the light from the sun was causing it to be silver or gy! rate almost. It made it hard to get a good picture. I watched this fear for at least 15 minutes probably more before I lost sight of it and it was nowhere to be found. There were no lights no wings. It was seems to be just hovering at times but seem to be able to stay in my view. There were no other planes around there were no lights it was over a mountain range and pure desert. It seemed very out of place and almost ominous in a fact to where I could not keep my eyes off of it. It was just a white bar possibly silver hovering above the mountain range and some white going with the speed of my car allowing me to keep ice on it for a short amount of time.

I was driving home with my son and his friends and I immediately said what is that it had lights covering the bottom of it and around it. We filmed it and it turned around with my flash so we went inside
