Queen Creek, AZ
three neighbors sitting on porch talking witnessed two crafts approximately 200 yards long cigar shaped estimated 20 foot diameter. with sorta dim lights 3 on each crafts underside. one front ,one center , and one rear. They were traveling same elevation as clouds coming from the northeast ,heading southwest . approximately 200 to 300 miles per hour or about the same speed as an airplane cruises. They made no noise at all . They also appeared to change color from clouds color to sky color. making them blend in with background. they traveled in one straight line. never changed speed or direction . They did not even come close to any sort of an aircraft any of us three men had ever seen before. They also were not on approach to the nearby mesa, chandler gateway airport

I was on my back patio, which backs to open desert and a dam about a quarter mile to the north behind my house. I looked up and couldn't believe my eyes. There was a large craft facing due west, perfectly stationary and completely silent, at most about a mile away and approximately 1000 feet high. It seemed to have a large window in front. The craft was shaped somewhat like the B 2 Spirit bomber from the side but l couldn't tell what the back of the object looked like. The object was silver, lighter in color than in my sketch. I didn't have a light silver marker. The red and black colors are for contrast. I estimate the size to be roughly 250 to 300 feet long, based on the 50' to 60' hot air balloons that frequent the area. It was the size of 5 or 6 hot air balloons if they were laid side by side. After observing the craft for several seconds, it produced a mist that engulfed the craft from back to front and made it disappear. It did not fly off at all, just blended into the background sky and literally vanished. The area behind us is also used for training flights from Luke Air Force Base, which is several miles south of us. There were no other aircraft or hot air balloons in the area at the time. I come from an Air Force family, and while personally I never served, l enjoy air shows and have a fascination with aircraft. I've never seen an aircraft that could sit silently and stationary in the air and has the ability to cloak itself. I just learned about NUFORC or would have reported this sooner. I am familiar with the aircraft that fly out here. I only use the B 2 Spirit as a comparison but it was not a B 2, just somewhat similarly shaped from a side view, but with no engine ports or any visible means of propulsion. The Spirit bomber cannot sit silently and motionlessly in the air, nor can it simply vanish. There was what appeared to be a window, but no lights. The mist only appeared right before it vanished; it was perfectly clear for the several seconds l observed it, prior to the mist appearing.

My husband and I stopped at the campground, and stopped to look at the water. There were also people loading their boat at the boat ramp. The sky was clear, and we observed many stars. As we were looking up at the sky, it changed. A big black space (about 4 football fields long) covered the stars and was replaced by one rectangular object. On the left side there was a rectangle with lights in a square shape, and then to the right of it, a row of smaller lights in a horizontal straight line. The smaller lights looked like the shape of a tic-tac. We watched this craft for about 4-5 minutes and tried to film it, but my camera only caught blackness. It disappeared the same way, the sky turned black once again in the space where it was. We watched for a few more minutes while the stars came back into the spot.

In the northern Arizona sky 100 plus lights were seen by me my father and my mother all moving in the same direction all in a straight line very close to one another. When I first see this unexplainable event, I thought it was one of those signs that say, “Will you marry me” but very far away in the distance, but then I remembered it’s night, almost midnights!! It can’t be a blimp or a signs pulled by and aircraft. This was strange. When you took a longer look it was about 100 even more lights all crammed together very closely moving in a straight line in the same direction. This was not a short line though! This line of lights in the sky was pretty long. I would say about 10 ft long?? It might be the wrong measurement. My father thought that maybe it was a mother ship because the lights looked like the ones from the movies we watch. My mother came when the long line of light reached its end. So she saw about 10 lights all moving together before they disappea! red in the night sky. This was a very unexplainable event and very scary one as well. I’m not quite sure what it was but all I know now is that what ever that was out there tonight it was definitely not of this world. Possible sighting of cluster of Space Link satellites?? PD

I was watching my 2 year old son and happened to look up towards the sky. There was a black helicopter flying by first and then after it left 3 circular shiny objects were hovering. They were quick moving and I watched them for a few minutes moving back and forth with each other before going inside to get my phone. I tried to get pictures but the sun was blocking me from being able to take anything clearly.

Arlington, AZ
Guarding a construction site quite aways out into the desert that doesn’t usually have a lot of air traffic, save a freighter coming to Phoenix every now and again early in the morning. Co-worker and I were sitting in a new area facing the open desert, when I happened to glance up and see what appeared to be a plane or similar flying very low and VERY almost alarmingly slow. There were no indicator or headlights of any kind, and no noise that would suggest a plane engine. I happen to have both a flight radar and an Air Traffic Control tower app on my phone, and neither picked up a reading from it or any sort of distress call. It appeared to be a silver cylinder or cigar shaped object headed East towards Phoenix. The lights from a nearby site reflected off the bottom of it as it cruised over and we watched it for several seconds before it suddenly turned and bolted North into the open darkness VERY quickly.

White round craft 30,000 ft high. 4 times bigger than a jet plane. No contrails. Moving North to south ,slowly. Made turn west and was above clouds watch time 20 min. Went west above clouds for 10 min. Came out going west into or above another cloud. 15 min later came out side of cloud and was smaller by 1/2. Another silver dot was next to it and flue from the east side south and around to the south side and back above clouds. 20 min later. Came into view and was smaller. A silver flash of light was next to it. West of UFO a jet with contrails was at 40,000 ft or more west of it. Jet was going south and white disk or box went higher and out of sight. Tried to take a picture but was to high. Watched with binoculars most of the time. Never moved fast but made tight turns. At first, thought it was a satellite going north to south but when it made a right turn knew it wasn’t a plane or satellite. Was too high for helicopter. I thought it was more box shaped, my wife said it was round. End…

Superior, AZ
Was outside on back porch. Light caught my attention by flashing bright white, point-source. Flash was brighter than any star or satellite I have seen previously. Light was approximately 80 degrees above the horizon relative to my position. After the initial bright, white flash there were subsequent flashes as the lights moved slowly to the north. The odd thing was there was no periodicity to the flashes; they were random in time during the 5 minute observation. between each bright flash were less bright, almost orange "burning" flashes. They seemed to intensify then sort of "burn out". Very strange and very high in the sky. I have been a casual observer of meteors and fireballs, but this was none of those. After watching for a few minutes there were no more flashes.

We were driving north on Irvington rd. It was a cloudy day, I just happened to look up and in between the clouds I sat a small sphere or what looked like a piece of lint floating in the sky moving pretty fast I was asking my husband and son if they were seeing what I was by the time they looked it got lost behind the clouds. About 2 mins later two military planes went flying to the direction in which I saw it go.

Bright rectangular object that reflected the sunlight and appeared that it may be made of metal? It stayed perfectly still for the entire time I was outside (about 15 minutes). As the sun set the object was still there but less visible due to the sunlight not shining on it. A still photo and video were taken.

Lake Pleasant, AZ
While using Google Earth to scan the area around Phoenix, hoping to gain any insight into why it seems to be continually visited, I discovered strangely linear formations on the bottom of Lake Pleasant. I'm uncertain as to whether or not they're related to all the activity. But I've no idea what they are. Although Google Earth gives oceanic depth, it doesn't give the depth of the lake. It does appear however that the lake is formed by a series of descending shelves, under which anything could be concealed. It just might merit some investigation.

On Sunday, May 5th, I was on my boat at Lake Pleasant, Arizona. I had spent the night on the boat and was almost ready to go back to the dock. I was about ¼ mile north of the 4 lane launch ramp at the north end of the lake. At 8:30 am I was drifting with a slight breeze from the north, pushing me toward the dock to the south. I had a line in the water, fishing, with a large brimmed hat and polarized sunglasses. The weather was sunny and clear, typical Arizona. I glanced up, looking south, and noticed what I at first thought might be some spiderwebs caught between my fishing rods, which were mounted on either side of the console. Whatever it was, it was diffuse, and somewhat hard to distinguish, much like the sun looks glinting off spiderwebs. Its relative size was about that of a full moon, about the size of an aspirin tablet at arm's length. It was completely stationary. After a few seconds I thought what I was seeing might be some reflection hitting my sunglasses. I moved my head up and down, trying to determine where a reflection might be coming from. At that moment the object moved on a level horizontal path toward the west, out of my visual range, in a fraction of a second. The acceleration was so great that by the time the object had moved to the right edge of my vision, I could no longer track it. At that moment I realized what I had witnessed. There were some people in kayaks, a couple of guys fishing and some other boats to the north and east of my position. The environment was quiet, and I heard absolutely nothing that could be associated with the object – it was completely silent. I would estimate that it was about 40 degrees in elevation and on a bearing of 180 to 200 degrees. Object size and distance were impossible to determine. The object appeared somewhat like two slightly elongated top hamburger buns, with the bottom bun inverted. There was a slight darker band separating the top and bottom sections. Width to height was about 3 to 1. The overall impression was that of a light weight, white fabric, almost with some translucent quality to it. I did not detect anything unusual looking through my polarized sunglasses. I am an experienced UFO researcher, yet it was not until the object shot out of sight that I realized what I had seen.

Ajo, AZ
Ajo, AZ April 30: Approximately 10PM Camping in my Airstream, heard sounds like rolling thunder, checked weather map on computer for SW AZ, nothing sighted nearby. Heard it again and went out to see two blinking white lights and roaring sound coming from opposite direction. The lights floated away seemingly randomly and then disappeared. They were the colors of stars but were bigger and brighter. I looked up any Air bases near AJO and there are none. I saw the lights twice about 15 minutes apart. They did not move like aircraft, they were faster and appeared to float and bob.

Bullhead City, AZ
SOURCE OF ACTIVITY: On April 27, 2019, at approximately 0351 hours in the City of Bullhead City, Arizona (Mohave County) I REDACTED: I stepped out of my residence pedestrian door facing a southern direction to “get some air” while observing the nightly lit shy with a clear and unobstructed view, I immediately observed a unknown aerial object moving at a extremely fast pace. OBSERVATION: I REDACTED stepped out of my residence pedestrian door which faces a southern direction, to “get some air” immediately observed a faint then at times brightly orange colored object, that I first believed was a star, then begin to move in a very fast rate of speed. Based on my digital calibrated cell phone compass, the unknown orange colored object was observed from my point of view in a south southeastern direction at 100 to 120 degrees, based on digital compass bearing heading, while I was standing outside my residence pedestrian door in a southern direction. The unknown object appeared to be moving in a northern direction from a south southeastern point of view. The unknown object was at first extremely faint or not visible while I was spontaneously looking at the night sky. The unknown object then became more visibly lit, appearing orange in color, yet mixed but not twinkling like a star, but more steady or a type of solid visible light. The unknown object begin to originally appear “faint” then more illuminated, and was moving like a distant slow moving plane, then instantaneously accelerate in speed, nothing like a fast moving plane or normal type of plate or jet I would anticipate as adult with common sense, articulation, judgment and intelligent observational analysis with 2020 eye vision / healthy normal eyes and overall health. The unknown object speeded up so abruptly in a northern direction, that it quickly dissipated into the darkly night lit sky, lasting for approximately five (5) to ten (10) seconds in observation. I then stood outside for approximately ten (10) minutes to further observe the “calculated” trajectory based on time and observation, of the unknown object would further appear or make itself visible, and met with negative results, while fully observing the clear night sky from north to northeastern to south southeastern observation. ADDITIONAL/DISPOSITION OF OBSERVATIONAL ANALYSIS: I have lived in major metropolitan city for most of my life and I am aware that ‘light pollution” obstructs a lot of stars in the night sky. After living in Bullhead City, Arizona, a somewhat rural town of about 40,000 in population, the light pollution I would say with common sense is 1/10th of that compared to a major metropolitan city which would be the full 10th scale of light population. No doubt, what I observed was anything I can explain or understand. The only reason I was able to observe such a fascinating occurrence, is because the light pollution is at a minimal. I hope wherever this report / log is submitted to, serves the individual or organization well, thank you.

Tempe, AZ
I saw this white, egg shaped craft just cruise over Tempe Town Lake. I was in one of the high buildings and saw it go passed, while I was looking out of the window. It staying at a consistent speed and did not move up or down, just kept heading straight. It was egg shaped and also white like an egg, but it wasn't solid white, it looked like a ball of bright, white illuminated cloud light.
