On my balcony looking in the eastern sky I saw 2 oval lights traveling at meteor speed with no trail behind it, moving in a decline pattern like a meteor the oval light behind the 1st sped up merged into the front light and dissapeared into the night sky immediately.

Was in bed, looking out the window trying to see Orion's Belt when there was a flash from a moving object. It was moving rapidly, in an arc trajectory, there was a vehicle body whose shape was difficult to determine but the flash from the tail was longer than the object itself and was bright orange. It disappeared out of view within seconds.

At approximately 9 pm, on the 29th of March 2020, my wife and I noticed an object outside our bedroom window from our bed. At first it didn't seem much different than a star, same shape and brightness as one. But as we were looking out we began to notice that it was moving. It would sometimes move very fast for large distances then seemingly stop. It moved erratically, in all directions. Sometimes it would do loops and circles before coming to a stop once more. It flickered different shades of light, similar to a star. It did seem like it had a beam of light shining out in one direction from it, but it was hard to tell as it was very high up. I'm talking upper atmosphere to low Earth orbit high. It seemed to move with the rotation of the Earth but constantly moving erratically throughout the duration of the event. It seemed to be far too unpredictable to be any sort of manned craft, but also too controlled to be a natural phenomenon. We live just on the outskirts of the North side of Tucson and noticed it in the sky to the East of the city. We watched this for nearly two hours until it was out of our view.

On back dock noticed multiple white lights appearing one at a time from North to South at approximately 10 second intervals with no sound. Each white light would brighten whiter then fade and completely disappear. My cousin and I watched this progression for at least 30 minuts.

A small slow moving orb was viewed to the right of the Moon an hour after dusk. It disappeared above Venus. A second orb was viewed through a telescope shortly after the first viewing. It was located south of the Moon, traveling faster than the first orb, and was moving diagonally between the Moon and Venus before it disappeared.

I walked outside into my back yard and looked up at the stars as usual. I saw one moving" star" traveling in a NE direction. As I watched the first one another one came into view heading in the same direction. One by one my son and I saw one after another fly overhead in the same NE direction. About every 30 seconds or so. There was at one point two together close one right behind the other moving at exactly the same speed and direction. I had my binoculars and could only identify them as looking like moving stars. Heard no noise. There may have been more going overhead before I went outside but we counted twenty. They were high up perhaps like the height of high flying commercial planes.

Star gazing the orion meteor shower late last night early AM. The stars were coming down pretty good.I saw three good ones, surprisingly one dissipated coming into the atmosphere directly at us which was rare/odd then looked south the opposite side of where the orion shower was from my porch, then out of no where a massive unbelievable white glow looked to be the size of a football field at least a thousand miles up or more. It was definitely beyond our atmosphere. It moved through space at an unknown light speed literally no more than three seconds to travel from southern hemisphere to northern while my jaw was floored. I smacked my friend in the shoulder told him look up! I pointed up as it vanished to the north. Asked my friend did you freaking see that last glimpse of the unknown? He said yes. I said now that was a freaking unidentified flying object followed by all the curse words in the book. I don't know what is crazier the real life star wars space ! ship or the fact that the musician on sound cloud that was playing on my phone when this event occurred, was describing seeing something he had never seen in his entire life that no one would believe and a indescribable feeling. Thank you for listening.

Noticed a pulsating white light in the sky, on further inspection noticed it was multiple lights traveling east bound. 3 of the lights began moving from a straight line into a triangle formation. And the the other lights began grouping together as well. After a few minutes the faded into darkness. And the sun began to rise, making it harder to find them. During the event I could see a couple orange lights from airplanes heading south twords the airport. The white ones were not blinking like typical aircraft. Plus I took a 16 second video.

North eastern sky near 7th street and loop 101 I saw and recorded 2-3 what looked like stars initially, appear and then disappear. It would start as one, then 1 or 2 more would appear. It would travel a distance and them disappear after about 3-5 seconds. This happened about 6 or 7 times.

I noticed what I thought was a constellation in the SE sky and kept staring at it because although it kind of.looked like a dipper it had way too many visible stars. All of a sudden the lights converged into a line and went north for a few seconds and disappeared. I would've thought it was starlink satellites except that they started out stationary and very scattered.

While sitting on our pool deck enjoying a cigar, I spotted a string of lights flying across the sky. The lights were roughly paired up and moving in a straight line, SW toward NE. They moved at an even pace and took approx. 1 minute to cross the entire sky there had to be at least 3 dozen pairs of lights .. It looked like a convoy in the sky. The lights looked like they where at a very high altitude .. no aircraft noise my wife came out to witness the same event..

March 23, 2020: Between Holbrook, Arizona and Joseph City, Arizona Wife’s Report: Approximately 5:15 AM, as I looked up at Orion and the Southern morning sky; I saw a small object (“Orb”) traveling from West to East. It moved slow and steady. I thought it was a satellite. I then noticed another small Orb following the 1st Orb, slow and steady. The first Orb then changed course and moved towards the South and disappeared (or went up real fast) at the tail end of Orion. The next one followed the first and disappeared. I then noticed another Orb following the 2nd Orb, and so on and so on, when the count got up to 10, I ran into the house and got my Husband. We lost track of how many we observed and watched until about 5:30 AM when my Husband went back into the house. They seemed to be ending, with 2 close (like traveling together) and brighter to the others. After these 2 traveling together, was one smaller Orb traveling slow and disappeared. I was about to go inside, when suddenly, a stream of Orbs moved quickly from Southwest to Northeast! . I couldn’t believe my eyes. I called my Husband’s phone at 5:34 AM, it was off and no answer, so, I ran to the window and knocked frantically. I then ran back to where I was standing and saw the stream of Orbs still flowing appearing from one fixed point in the Southwest sky to about a ruler length to the other fixed point to the Northeast where they disappeared. My Husband ran out and saw what I saw. We tried to film it, but I don’t know how to work my phone. We watched till about 5:36 AM and then the Orb stream stopped. There were hundreds of them, too many to count. Husband’s Report: It looked like a military exercise. The Orbs came out of an area (could have been a big ship we can’t see) in semi-circle, dropping out of sky in single file. They were spread apart at equal distances. When I came back outside, I saw a row of 3 Orbs per unit side by side stacked in a broad formation line from Southwest to Northeast of Holbrook, AZ. They lit up the sky by hundreds flying in unison. The Orbs disappeared into the sky, like entering a portal. They all disappeared and then a straggler followed them. You’d have to see it to believe it. It’s the strangest thing I have ever seen.

At 10:25 I looked up to the north while seated in my back yard. I saw a cloud white oval moving west to east at a speed similar to a passenger jet. We can see jets quite often passing overhead coming from or going to PHX. The oval slowed to a stop and immediately started moving to the North. I blinked and lost sight of it as it was extremely hard to see.

My husband And I left to go on a walk around the neighborhood around 9:10pm. We walked and chatted like normal. we turned onto our street to return home and passed the first house on the corner. A extremely fast moving object shot across the sky from Semi southwest direction to a north East direction. The object left a bright glowing bluish green tail... bright like a mega glow stick. It moved so fast it took my brain a bit to register what it was....... at first, I thought it was a shooting star because it moved like a massive shooting star.... then meteor but the thing was way too big. My husband turned and stared at me and asked if I saw that?? He looked shocked! I rambled off my thoughts. Maybe a bomb? Almost pausing for the mushroom cloud... Jet? Military? But there was no sonic boom or jet like sound. It was a semi dark night. We live in a suburb of Phoenix and there are street lights but this thing was still very visible and much larger than any plane. It moved like Star Wars going into warp speed but no sound.

Bright white (hot) light appeared in the sky as I was collecting my mail at my box that evening. My wife was also with me as I pointed it out to her then as well. I always have a steady stream of air traffic most any day. So I'm familiar with the aircraft in my sky. But this was some distance away, but it was unusually bright. It was to the west, maybe about the eleven position. So I stood and watched it to see what it might be. I then noticed it not static, some movement. I used a tree and it's branches as confirmation the object was moving, not anything with me. It hovers, falls and drifts. Too bright for helicopter, and no running lights or NAV, and not a plane. It was moving slowly from west to north west gaining then losing sometimes altitude. Also, that bright white almost appeared to cast a sort of HALO effect around it some times. Another occasion it appeared to flash sometimes red, then the white. Is it a Drone maybe? But now, I'm thinking possibly a military flare? It is in the west sky, towards (Luke AFB). A Small unidentified plane generally shows up about 10-15 minutes into this and has headed south, and sometimes the west. There have been two instances so far. Plane is small and dark black, and 2 small red NAV lights on its wing tips. It's at a Higher air traffic ceiling level, no sound either. Commercial planes are often very absent during this time, and at a lower ceiling than the unidentified plane. Any that do show up, often direct themselves to a different path, and away from the area of the plane and bright light occupies.

Grand Canyon Village, AZ
This was just the start of Covid and our trade show was cut short so I decided to go to the Grand Canyon for a few days. I got to the Grand Canyon village after dark and got a room. I unpacked and settled in then stepped outside to star gaze as this is a dark park and the stars are amazing. I was right out in from of my hotel looking west and about 150 yard there was another hotel room building then a tree line behind it. Right above the tree line but much farther back, probably a few miles I saw a very odd light. This light was hovering and as I watched it would shift or switch from one solid light (yellowish) to 3 lights in a row then to a triangle shape changing color as it did this. There seemed to be no pater to the changing. I thought for a minute it was a helicopter or something, but it was deathly quiet except for coyotes and I know the light changing was very odd. Then I observed it kind of moving but it would move maybe 50 yards up and then to the right or left and then stop. Very smooth and very fast. It moved probably 3 times in the time I was watching it. I tried to take a video with my phone but when I zoomed in on it regardless of what I saw with my eyes on my phone it just looked like a blurry ball. At this point another guest came out with this dog, male in 30s and I said hay man look at this thing, its weird. At this pint we both watched it for about 5 minutes, and he said that it looks like a UFO. He also stated that it’s over the “Supai” Reservation and he said there’s nothing out there. I have never seen anything change light formations like that.

Approximately at nine o'clock pm, we were travelling east on Oraibi and saw a two blinking, white lights side by side. My mom and I pulled over and I began to record the event. Another couple of blinking lights came from the south at the same time another blinking light came from the east, they then synchronized and continued to travel west, following the first two lights. We watched them until they were out of sight.

My daughter and myself were leaving Grandmas house XXXX Oraibi, we were driving west. We see two white flashing lights side by side traveling west. My daughter said what is that...you could see planes in other directions and these were not moving or look like a plane. We drive west of Oraibi then proceed to drive on North 63rd Drive and the west on Matilda Drive. I pulled over so my daughter could capture it on her phone. As she was filming a single white flashing light came from the South, then another from the east. They synchronized in a line and proceeded to follow the first two going west. We watched them until we could not longer see them. I asked my daughter to look up who we should report this to. Then I called the UFO hotline. We will be emailing the phone footage.
