Gold Canyon, AZ
Sunday 20 October-about 18:42/Superstition Mts. I heard a VERY loud roaring overhead. Ran outside into the backyard just in time to see blinking red lights moving off into the NW. I did NOT see the shape or outline of a craft. Then i ran thru the house into the front yard. Moving off into the NW I watched red lights blinking in a "V form"; first the R side would blink 3 red lights at a 45d angle (consecutively - not simultaneously) then the L side would blink 3 red lights at a 45d angle. I watched the blinking lights for about 3 minutes to get an idea of the 'shape'. The only reason i am reporting a 'V' form is due to the angle line of the blinking lights. The craft was moving very slowly over the Superstitions into the NW. I would deduct that due to the noise level, this is NOT a UAP Am member of MUFON - attend Phoenix (Tempe) monthly meetings

tonight i was walking around my apartment complex for while considering how nice out it is. on the way to the mailbox area, I saw a red light in the sky, and it had a slowly blinking white light. it was flying either downwards or farther away, I couldnt tell. it couldnt have been a plane since there was no noise of it flying. i tried to capture it with video footage on my windows phone, but i dont think anything showed up. this was about 20 to 30 minutes ago.

-Wind speed 9 MPH SW -Temp: 84 F -Slightly Cloudy -More then usual air traffic Around 9:15 PM near 40th and Bell we witnessed 5 or so dim lights in a V shape. The lights were bigger then the stars but a little smaller then the moon at that point of time. The aircraft was visible for about 1 - 2 minutes moving in the same direction of the wind. There was no sound and the edges of the craft were hardly visible, but we could faintly see that the lights were all apart of a larger flying craft.

Tolleson, AZ
I saw 3 white cross-like shaped unidentified flying objects high in the sky. They would alternate from a hovering type position and then very quickly dart all over the place. It moved in ways I've never seen anything in the sky move before. I watched them for close to 10 minutes.

Saw 2 blinking red orbs that remained stationary. One orb would blink and then the other would blink but there was no pattern the orbs appeared to spread further apart and then they would come very close together and then only 1 orb would be blinking. Then the other orb would become visible again and they would both be blinking. Again no pattern was noted. Then both orbs shifted to a higher and more westerly level in the sky and then returned to the previous position, They once again came very close together and then there was only 1 orb visible still blinking red. This was recorded on my cell phone.

Mesa, AZ
My husband and I were heading east on Route 60 towards Mesa Arizona when my husband noticed an object in the sky. He at first thought it was a flag flying, when we realized it was some kind of flying vehicle. I got out my phone and took a picture and a short video. My husband handed me his phone to get better quality photos but unfortunately, the vehicle had already dipped below the horizon. We are still wondering what we saw exactly.

I walked around the house to the backyard to drop off my recycling to the larger container and after that I turned around when I saw a large round green object with a red and orange flame behind it cruising fast. Not a sound came from this object. The sight of this object was like it was in HD. I could see the outline of the shape perfectly. This object flew by with speeds that I have never seen. Then out of nowhere it just disappeared.

Seen what at first appeared to be the brightest star in the night sky, but the white orb was moving fast and at a higher altitude and faster rate of speed compared to an aircraft that was also visible in the sky. The white orb, however, did not have any blinking lights as do most commercial aircraft. The flight of the orb white light was South-East and after observing it fly across the sky for a few minutes the light faded and didn't come back on.

Saguaro Lake (Mesa), AZ
I will preface this stating I love making amateur art for my viewing pleasure to associate it with my good memories. So I used photo filters on some pictures obviously but I don't think I did on all. One second to last is Bartlett Lake but the rest are Saguaro Lake. I can't even recall when it really dawned on me this is an abnormal object in my pictures. My boyfriend at that time had a cabin cruiser boat and we stayed all night on the boat near that location. I remember thinking the canyon walls were so amazing and had stories to tell. That marks the day I started taking random pictures of all the scenes at the lakes we visited, or I visit, because I was fascinated with the mystery and beauty I hadn't yet experienced in Arizona even though I had lived here 20 years. That same day Saturday, oct 5 2019, we went to a music jam along the dock at a friend's houseboat so we took a few friends out on our boat back to that area of the lake. It was getting to be early evening and the sun would set soon so as we were at the last part of the canyon walls heading SE to the marina/boat docks before hitting open water when we all saw 3 bighorn sheep standing eerily observant at the very edge of the cliff to the north as if they were giving warning yet watching for something to come. It was just a strange day as I reflect back on the date of the picture and the date of the party and the bighorn sheep sighting. That spot was not far from where I took pictures earlier that morning. (*Note - Also reading below to check the boxes, the depth finder on the boat went out there in that area but it happened more than once in that area. I know it happened one other time at Bartlett lake but I have actually had several friends who have mentioned while cruising around Saguaro lake that the depth finder cut out. It's always in what I call middle canyon before shipwreck rock. So I am going to check the box for electrical interference below ) I have more accounts from saguaro lake and salt river that leads downstream from the lake. I don't have specific dates, but i have a date range from late July 2020 to early November 2020. It was during covid, they closed rec areas at the lakes due to COVID and then longer due to wildfires in AZ near the area. I have a friend who can attest to seeing strange objects we actually thought were drones possibly the size of cars that looked far away but as we would pay attention more we could actually see them hovering. We didn't go out with the intention to see anything. We both love being on the water and being at one with nature - especially in the desert on the water. I have a habit of dropping phones in the water so often times I wouldn't take a phone with me so no photos of the car sized drone appearing objects - just my word which offers no credibility. I'm only accounting this for your record on a chance that maybe it will help validate or correlate someone else's story. I'm not seeking anything out of this other than satisfying my curiosity which I realize I could only be so lucky. I know I saw something and I don't have to prove it to anyone for my own satisfaction. Also I can only account for 3 different nights of seeing what I thought were 2-3 drones all with the same friend. It was dark skies every time we saw them, but the objects were almost like dark or reflective as to blend in with the sky and surroundings. We also observed one night by salt river near granite reef, a a wierd tower was to the NW in the desert behind the damn on national forest or reservation land. It had 3 blinking lights but they weren't consistent as if their purpose was to alert air craft and they stopped blinking eventually. I know they had different colors but I can't remember the specifics and don't want to speculate - I remember a random tower with inconsistent blinking lights. I assumed it had something to do with the "car size drone" activity we had witnessed. Each sighting the objects seemed far away then seemed so close and the pattern of flight briefly witnessed was so angular - things don't just fly fast jutting upward at a 45 -90 degree angle in seconds do they? I'm no scientist, nor mathematician, not an engineer or anything close. What I saw could probably be easily explained, and in listening to conspiracy theorists locally, nationally, worldwide it may not be ufo related. The time frame was around COVID, presidential election, escalated and sensationalized government finger pointing and propoganda, news of Jeff Besoz and his recent Amazon property acquisition in NE Mesa not far from the lake and river, in which the same time articles reported of him dumping amazon stock and investing in high tech tracking technology overseas, along with the Elon Musk/Tesla presence in Tempe AZ, Chandler home to Intel, Honeywell, and a ride I had with an Uber driver who can recount words of an engineer from one of the microchip companies stating what takes place in our state would scare us because America is mostly Christian, and their professional work would be viewed as the Devils coming. I speculate and overthink what I saw, I am very open minded, and I am sure there are logical explanations, but I'm not a sheeple at heart and I think it's crazy, ignorant, and insulting to be told or desensitized, and programmed to think we are the only life form that exists. Just to note how we accessed closed land was due to my friend that lives there on a houseboat at Saguaro lake so we launched paddle board, canoe, kayaks from the dock initially. Then saguaro del Norte rec area at the lake and granite reef and other river rec areas opened up again to the public. One thing to note Butcher Jones rec area at Saguaro did not open up for almost another 6 months, so like spring of 2021 maybe longer. This is where we saw the most activity that we truly thought were large drones the size of cars. On January 30, 2021 I also caught another picture on saguaro with a wierd orb sphere off the water which could be sunlight reflecting just like my first pictures. I am going to attach them all. Sorry if I have wasted your time, and I appreciate any further look this gets. Thank you for the work you do.

Tempe, AZ
At about 8PM on Wednesday October 2nd, I was driving westbound on Elliot rd passing Dobson. I noticed a formation of 3 white lights equal distance apart. At first it seemed as they might have been planes but they were just too close to each other. Then I thought maybe flares, but they didn’t seem to appear to be moving. Approaching the 101, I noticed a 4th light appear to the left side. As I turned northbound on the 101, I looked back to take one more look, but they seemed to be gone. . . I couldnt find them in the sky. Took video evidence of the sighting.

These two typical in appearence UFOs were only spotted after reviewing a digital photo and enlarging the 2 white spots in the right upper portion of the photo.

Tucson, AZ
While I was driving off the freeway headed south I noticed a huge green light with a white/blue trail coming out from behind it (like a torch light). I mean compared to the lights in the sky from planes it was pretty big. I only saw it drop for a few seconds then it literally just disappeared with a small flash. For a second I thought I saw a massive falling star but it was green. A very bright vivid green. I’ve never seen anything like it.

We were heading to our family house in Sabino canyon, about 3 am. At first sight we think it was a helicopter or a militar UAV. The UFO follow our car at North Sabino Canyon and East Snyder Rd traffic light then the UFO go to the Sabino Canyon park with Red, blue and green lights on. It never do any noise

Scottsdale, AZ
There were 6 silver objects flying off in the distance in zig zags and other particular patterns that no regular aircraft could do. I was able to get pictures of these 6 flying objects and it shows the shape of them and edge of the craft. The moon was able to beam off of the flying objects which is why they where easy to spot. The flying objects looked to be in a specific tear drop or almost circular pattern.

Tucson, AZ
On my way home just passing the casino del sol, I noticed 2 egg shaped lights faded on and off next to each other. Then Maybe like half a second later, both lights were separated so far apart. One light faded off and stayed off. The other faded on and off 2 more times and finally faded off completely.

3 "lights" (constant illumination, not blinking) moving in unison in triangle formation across east sky approximately 45 degrees up from horizon, moving from south to north roughly. I was not able to determine if there were 3 separate craft or one craft with 3 lights.
