Peoria, AZ
Witnessed a string of star-like lights traveling at an even speed across the sky from the southwest to the northeast. They were evenly spaced at first and seemed to be following the same path, but then there would be times when four lights in relatively close proximity would go by, or one light would take a slightly different path. They did all seem to travel at the same speed, no matter what path they took.

Facing west towards Mingus mountain, located coming out of the Orion constellation heading approx north passing by Venus as it sets. Multiple orbs crossing sky at the same speed never passing one another scattered through a small angle of the sky passing horizontally into clouds to north. Not blinking, looking like satellite altitude. No sign of atmosphere entry, as if already in atmosphere. Quantity started very high with as many as 10 at once, has decreased now over 25min to one or two ever few minutes.

Looked like moving stars. First spotted one and then many followed over the hour. Most of them appeared in the west, between Orion and Venus, and headed north where they seemed to rise up higher and higher until they disappeared. A few of them moved further to the east and one that hovered for about 4 or 5 minutes made a huge semi circle from west to north to southeast before it disappeared. Several just appeared and rose up briefly till they disappeared. One that was particular brighter seemed to slowly pulsate as it flew.

we were outside approximate time, when 39 light objects crossing sky from west to northeast. At first , when the first one appeared, we thought it was space station or satellite, then immediately after it another appeared at same altitude and then following each one at high altitude and speed . we couldn't figure out what objects were, but clearly were not airplanes. But why so many and so fast... we watched trying to figure out what was going on.. They were so high , they were reflecting sunlight from sun setting hour previous. was this military aircraft or what... and so many at once.

My husband and I are retired seniors who spend the winter months dry camping in our RV out in the southern Arizona desert. Totally off grid. At night the sky is amazing. We have no lighting to interfere with viewing. Our tv program ended at 9 pm and my husband Carl went outside. He called to me a couple of minutes later to Come See! So I went out and what we watched for the next 20+ minutes really amazed us. Venus, that beautiful brilliant lady, was to the west of our location. Up about 45-50 degrees from horizon. Coming from barely to left of and just below Venus and traveling in a very straight line was a well lite dot, much like a small distant star. The "dot" traveled from south or left to north or right (Venus being west) from just below and south of Venus to north of Venus... now the odd thing was, that the dot began at one specific place, just south of Venus and traveled to a specific place north of Venus and vanished... then another one came into sight.... same trajectory, and vanished at the same place the first one we saw did.... then another and another and another.... for over 20 minutes. Some were a little higher but still below Venus and others a little lower... all coming into view at the same place and vanishing at the same place... like coming into a room through one door on the left, crossing the room and leaving though another door on the right. It was very odd indeed. The space between entering and exiting was about the width of two hands, if you extended your arms fully out with hands up like in the stop position... two hands wide would have been the distance from seeing it to it vanishing. The time it took to travel that distance was about 5-6 seconds. If you count one one-thousand, two one-thousand, three one-thousand… it was 5 or 6. It was way up there and just a tiny dot... so didn't seem unusually fast. Wasn't a zoom or flash... just a steady here it comes and there it's gone... here's another and it's gone. it looked like one was entering as one was exiting... we have no idea when this began, but while we watched we lost count after 23 or so. So easily over 30. We sky watch often and planes or satellites or the space station can usually be watched as they travel all the way across the sky. That's what made this siting so unusual. These all began at the same place and vanished at the same place... they were not visible before the entry point or beyond the vanishing point. Since there is very low air traffic at this time... the movements of these were seen right away. They were too far away to detect shapes, hear anything or see any detail. Just coming into view, then vanishing... Any way.... that's what we saw and wondered if anyone else saw them as well. Thank you for all you do. Have been listening to your reports for a very, very long time. Sure miss Art Bell....

Sierra Vista, AZ
My caretaker and I returned to my apartment after grocery shopping at Walmart.While we were unloading, I get a "feeling" to look up. I saw it coming in over our heads. She looked up and saw it cruise over Huachukah mountain. Ft. Huachukah is located there. This was quiet. It hard rigid lines like a child's drawing of a triangle. No windows, No Doors. It was not in any hurry at all. No lights on it as it was BRILLIANT FLOURECENT GREEN. Like a High powered glow sticks. Its size was like a football field. Maybe a little smaller m but it was large,quiet and Bright

North Peoria, AZ
Witnessed what appeared like a satellite moving fast high in the sky. Around 30 vast moving specs one after the other some in formations of up to five some in groups of threes, and solos. All headed in a northern trajectory. Some even stopped then several seconds later disappeared then showed up again. And continues on definitely not meteors and not planes. Satellites possibly. Very strange did anyone else in Arizona see these?

Sonoita, AZ
From the west a line of highly elevated lights appeared one by one. They flew East all seemingly from the same starting point. They would glow slowly into view, become bright as the passed of the lights of Tucson, Then to fade as they got farther away. Looking quickly from one end of the single file, equally spaced lane, to The other end, they seemed to be turning slightly north East. As if to loop around Tucson. We witnesses easily more than twenty. Sometimes breaking sequence, and sometimes multiple single file lines.

A series of lights eminating out of nowhere from around the Orion constellation and flying in set intervals one after the other and then disappeared after a set time. Process continued for close to half an hour. Some changed direction. Not long, after Davis Monthan Air Force base began to mobilize.

I was home watching TV and I realized that I'd forgotten my reading glasses in my car; so around 8:30pm; I stepped out to the driveway to get them... I always lookup for Orion's belt and the Pleiades and this time was not the exception; it was when I noticed an object, high in the sky, like a star, moving Northeast... then I look further southwest and I saw that it was several of them travelling one after another at a steady speed; I have the impression of that the first 7 objects I saw were aligned in a straight line, but then I noticed that far behing there was other objects to the right and to the left of the original path; all of them going in the same direction, I don't know if prior me showing up outside other objects passed, but I counted at least 15 objects... I yelled to my son and my daughter to come out see them; eventually, they came out and were able to see several of them... the objects were not travelling very close to each other, they were sp! aced out, so it took like 2/3 minutes to see them all fade away in the dark sky.

I was on my balcony around 8:30 tonight, observing small aircraft on their landing pattern into Phoenix Deer Valley Airport. Suddenly I started seeing dozens of fast moving light objects, traveling at a very high rate of speed and a very high altitude. They appeared to have crossed the state of Arizona in a matter of seconds. It might have been military aircraft exercises, but at the rate of speed I observed, they might have been something else entirely. The sky was completely clear and cloudless, and I just stood and watched as they seemed to keep coming. I lost track of time, so I can't say exactly but I must've watched for a full five minutes.

We saw lights high up in the sky about the size of stars moving from Southwest to the Northeast. They were in a line uniform and spaced evenly. One would come into sight right after another.

I WAS LOOKING AT THE STARS AT ABOUT 8:13PM AND NOTICED TWO LIGHTS TRAVELING VERY FAST. ONE LIGHT WAS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE FIRST. AND AS I LOOKED BACK AT WHERE THE LIGHTS MAY HAVE CAME FROM WE SAW ANOTHER LIGHT. THE SPACING TO THE LIGHTS AND THE FLIGHT PATTERN WAS PERFECTLY STRAIGHT. IN TOTAL THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20 LIGHTS FLYING SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ALL IN SINGLE FILE LINE. NOT ONCE DID ANY OF THE LIGHTS MOVE FROM THAT STRAIGHT LINE FORMATION. AND AS THE LIGHTS MOVED INTO THE DISTANCE THEY DISAPPEARED. THE SKY WAS INCREDIBLY CLEAR AND THE LIGHTS JUST DISAPPEARED!! NO SOUND AT ALL WHEN THESE LIGHTS FLEW OVER. IT WAS AMAZING HOW PERFECTLY THEY ALL WERE SPACED IN A LINE.

Ball of pulsating light above ridge top of mountain. 6,000 feet. Witnessed by 4 hikers. Ball was approximately 4x size of largest star. Total silence. Moved erratically within 50 feet distance total. Ball emitted rainbow of lights with notable reds, blues, greens, and orange. blinked in and out erratically. Took video and pictures with unimpressive results

Rio Rico, AZ
Initially saw two evenly spaced rows of (3) rectangular shaped white lights with two additional lights at random locations above and below the rows of lights through my living room windows. The lights appeared to be about 1/2 mile away. I grabbed phone camera and walked outside for better view which took about 5 seconds. By time I got to front porch the lights had disappeared. There was no noise which would be expected from a motorized aircraft. I then noticed six evenly spaced lights about 20-30 miles north of our house. They then broke off formation and two of the lights turned south again. They travelled back in front of our house at a distance of 3-5 miles away. After traveling about 5 miles south of our house they again turned north and continued on a similar path until they were no longer visible. I witnessed much of this using binoculars and with magnification could see both white and red lights as they made turns. The other four lights appeared to be making East to west sweeps about 30 miles north of Rio Rico. As the distant lights made 180 degree turns I could hear the faint sound of engines when they turned away from my position. Closest thing I have ever experienced to this is witnessing stealth aircraft during my 30 year tenure as a military contractor.

A bright white light flying from east to west as the sun set around 7 pm. I thought initially it was a meteor due to the speed and the fact it was higher than the clouds. Traveled from above me to about 1/3 to the western horizon when it just faded out. I was disappointed that the meteor just fizzled out when all of a sudden, the object reappeared at a standstill and very bright with multiple colors flashing from it. It hovered for a few mins at the same high altitude then changed to a very bright red. Soon after it darted in an S-shaped fashion to the south and perhaps to a lower altitude, still very bright red when it stopped again. At this point, it split into 2 individual craft, both red in color. One flew east and lower, the other moved what seemed to be straight down where I lost sight of it behind a tree. Within in a few moments, the one light I could still see started to display multiple colors as it hovered, and then disappeared. At this point, I no longer saw either craft.

33.44020°N / 113.038°W, approximately 4/13/20 Went camping with friends at Saddle Mountain near Tonopah, AZ. Around 4am there were several lights moving across the sky. Just small, unblinking lights, moving too fast to be satellites. When I became aware of the first one, it was because the light seemed to get brighter for a second then faded back to the original brightness (similar in brightness and seeming distance as that of a far away airplane. But again, NOT blinking and no sound at all) as it moved across the sky. It faded and then reappeared in the same spot I first saw it, repeating the same trajectory across the sky and pattern of becoming brighter for a moment. The object wasn’t by itself; there were others that came from different directions. Same size. Small white, steady moving lights.

I came home roughly at 1:00 Am on the 12 of April so the first hour of Easter Sunday. I get out of my car, (I’m always staring at the sky the stars more specifically I go outside and smoke and just stare and even take picture of some stars) at this time I’m sober and haven’t smoked yet and I notice this very bright star off to the north east and I go around the back of my car pull my stuff out of the trunk to go inside but again once I started walking inside it caught my eye and had my attention again. it looked unlike the others and was a bit brighter that’s when it started to move north mind you this whole time it had not moved at all and now it starts changing in brightness so I put my stuff down and start recording. It is very hard to see on camera but you can see it gets brighter and then dim out to nothing but not like a normal light on a airplane that strobes this was actual diming kind of like it was turning invisible and then it looked as if it had a big blue force field around it and started drifting north again until it was out of site I actually put my stuff back in my trunk and got on the i17 going north to try and capture it on camera again moving but had no luck. I drove around until the 2:30 am it had blown my mind my life stents have recorded something similar years ago coming home from the casino late at night.

Maricopa, AZ
I recently purchased a home security system due to criminal activity being perpetrated by the squatters next door. This security system is an "ReoLink," equipped with infra-red capabilities. At approximately 9:20pm, the criminals arrived home & began unloading objects from the car, to the house. At approximately 21:29, I noticed a very large bright light signature on my infra-red monitor (Smartphone, see attached security camera photo.) This light on the monitor was NOT blinking, like most normal airplanes & helicopters. It was shaped like a disc & had a protrusion on top. (It resembled a lid on a cooking pot, complete with the knob handle.) It was a full moon that night, not a cloud in the sky & stars, too many to count. It was quite clear that night. The skys were very busy with Homeland Security airplanes. I believe they're the aircraft's that have that quick blink Police car Mars lights. I counted 6 planes in the eastern skys, before the UFO manifested itself from thin air. I watched this non blinking UFO for a couple minutes & decided to step outside to look at this object with my own eyes. I took my Smartphone/monitor with me. I stepped out onto my northern/front porch, looked toward the eastern sky & could NOT locate the bright object, all I could see were distant flashing DHS Flashing airplane lights, however, when I looked at my Smartphone/monitor, IT WAS THERE, CLEAR AS DAY & large, bright, silent & stationary!!! I did a double take! Again, I looked into the eastern sky with my naked eyes & saw nothing but distant blinking DHS airplane lights, then I once again looked at my Smartphone & there it still was, just silently floating there, huge & bright!!! I ran inside & informed the Mrs. that the object was INVISIBLE! I left the monitor on the table where she was sitting & this time, I ran to the other porch, on the eastern side of my house. Again, the large bright, glowing object was not there. I ran back in the house & the object was still on my infra-red monitor, silently hovering in place & stationary. Again, I exclaimed to the Mrs., "THAT THING IS INVISIBLE!" She decided she wanted to take a look for herself & just as she got up to go to the eastern porch, we noticed on my infra-red monitor, another object suddenly turned as bright as the first one & it was right next to the original object!! I wpuld estimate that these objects were over or near the "T&K Cattle Farm" on route 84 & Miller Road, 2.5 miles from my home. The two objects then proceeded to fly directly west in our general direction & covered 2 miles in about 3 seconds & they stopped on a dime, very close to the twin mountains near my house! There they remained, silent, no noise whatsoever, hovering, bright & bigger than before due to proximity. This was observed by me & the Mrs. on my Smartphone in infra-red mode. The UFOs stayed stationary for about 3 or 4 seconds, then they flew off at a high rate of speed toward the southwest, in the direction of the Barry Goldwater Military Firing Range. We concluded that either our military has an amazing technology that enables an aircraft to travel over 3600 m.p.h., silent & cloaked, invisible to the naked eye OR it was NOT one of ours, from this dimension. I know that sounds crazy, but I know what we saw! It was a one in a million chance encounter. Had I not recently purchased my new Security System, this episode never would have occurred.

Two objects, very high, visible from walking lost dog wash. Objects changed from appearing thin to thick. They were very black in color. The higher altitude object was motionless, the smaller craft was swaying. When we left they had disappeared

While sitting in my car looking at the sky in a Westerly Direction, I observed what look like a shooting star, or a star that was moving in a easterly Direction, traveling at a moderate speed, that lasted about a minute, the unknown object then slow down, it appeared to adjust dissipated or vanished in the night sky. I took cell phone video footage of the object.

Looking up I saw a extremely bright star in the West (slightly North) sky. I watched it for about 10 minutes and kept my eye on the three faint stars (2 above and 1 to the right) to check if it was moving, thinking it could be a possible plane, although I knew that the constant light and brightness wouldn't be a plane. I decided to take a video with commentary to post on my FB page to friends. That is the first video. The second and third are video after I honed in on it and finally enlarged the sphere to the phones maximum capacity. These video's are the result. It was approximately two hours of observation without the object moving at all (I kept the reference stars that were near in sight). I stepped into the house for about a 1/2 hour and when I went back out, it was gone. While I was watching there were 2 different planes in the vicinity flying by. The light was extremely bright and never changed throughout my observation. To the necked eye it looked li! ke a very big star with no pulsing at all. The pulsing (and some of the people that have viewed the video said it looked like it was rotating also), was not apparent until it was enlarged.
