Green Valley, AZ
My wife and I were driving home in our golf cart and saw a group of small white lights moving across the sky from west to east. The lights moved across I-19 and moved out of sight quickly. There was no noise.

In a panick, I yelled for my Fiance, I had to run about 50 ft inside to shake him awake. When we got outside, it was still there in the sky above the neigborhood zooming around. It looked like it was over the neighbors house at one point hovering. I watched as it split into two red lights whith a single green dot between and then morphed back into the single red light then zoomed into a far neighborhood (Northwest) as it seemed to fall to the earth. I tried to finish watering my garden after my husband went inaide i saw it zoom west from the Northeast of my house as if above a nearby neighborhood.

We were waiting in a gas line at Costco in Tucson when we noticed the man in front of us taking pictures of the sky where the daytime moon was located. Upon exiting our car, we also looked up and saw 3 stationary objects in the area of the moon. They looked silver as a plane would with the sun reflecting off the objects. A minute later we looked up again and saw more had joined the group for a total of maybe 8 and all still stationary. When we looked up minute or so later, they were gone.

As soon as I walked outside into my backyard, I looked up into the Eastern sky. I saw 5 very bright lights shaped like orbs in the sky but low in the sky below the clouds. They were moving southwest. They were in Chevron formation at first. Then right in front of my eyes the pattern broke. They began flying in their own pattern and flying around each other, in a very unnatural manner, as if they were playing with each other in flight. They changed course, QUICKLY, and began moving East again then changed course again and began moving southwest. They flew into a cloud and I could still see them illuminating in the clouds and then they just disappeared, right in front of my eyes. This lasted about 40 seconds. Amazing.

Tucson, AZ
Traveling west on I-10 approximately 30 miles East of Tucson, Arizona my fiancé and I observed a large fast moving object in the sky. It was bright white with no blinking lights that are typical with aircraft. It was moving at an intensely/abnormally fast rate of speed. It accelerated, totally stopped, and dropped in altitude. It accelerated again at a little slower speed and made another weird turn. It did not move, turn, or accelerate like any aircraft we have seen. It was making weird angular drops and rises in altitude. As we were almost too far away to see it anymore, it dropped again to a pretty low altitude and was almost bouncing around. There was no place to turn around to go back and see if it was still there. We were both shocked and amazed at what we saw. While observing the object, in the far distance behind it we could see traditional aircraft in the skies. They were much further away, moving so much slower, and they had blinking lights on them.

Polacca, AZ
Last night while I was at work watching the surveillance system, I notice that seemed to be on a street light. Like a card board box was stick on the very top of the light. So I went outside to see if it was something stuck. I didn’t see anything on the light pole. Since the weather outside was raining, covered skies and windy. I looked back at the footage and seen an object float in the air and rotate downward from a vertical position and then accelerate. I downloaded the file for the event.

New River, AZ
Some friends and I were having dinner in New River next to the freeway and one friend said she had just seen a blimp holding still outside the restaurant; a string of lights. I asked her if she could see an outline or other detail since it was an odd time for a blimp to be flying out in the desert. She then pointed it out to me and I saw a string of 7-10 or more tiny lights in a straight line. It appeared to be sitting on top of a mountain to the east. If it were a building of that size it would be very out of place in the rural desert as the row of lights made it look like a huge building. I made an effort to look for it in the morning to see if there was a huge house or other structure on the mountain but there was not. I would have taken a photo but all I had was my crummy phone and it doesn't take good pix at night.

Daylight disk silver with the sun shining off it was seen several miles away from Tucson AZ. I was working on the back porch when I saw a slight flash of light. I was recording with my video camera towards the east and quite high up. The object moved so quickly from left to right and down to up. My video has utility wires and a bird’s flight through the image. The object is behind them both. Video is available.

San Tan Valley, AZ
Travelling south in San Tan valley, AZ, I saw 5 lights low in the western sky. 3 were linear and 2 were cross/star shaped and bright. The linear lights were fading in and out to the point it was hard to see them, one of the star shaped faded out to a bright linear and the biggest "star" stayed for about 10 minutes before turning into a bright linear, brighter than the others. After about 15 minutes only 4 were visible, one traveling south (the direction I was headed and followed the same direction. I should note that there were two airplanes in the sky as well, both traveling toward it but turned around and headed the opposite way as it got closer to the 5 lights.

Peoria, AZ
Two of us were walking through our neighborhood, when we saw two fireballs shooting up in the air slowly. In under 20 seconds, one first dimmed to a speck, and then the second one, ten seconds later. Then we continued to watch both specks split apart and travel over our heads until it was completely behind our heads. They traveled from the above the horizon over out heads to what appeared nearly 100-120 degree angle. The distance was amazing as well as the quickness the bright orange circular light died out, then continued to travel.

Tucson, AZ
I was driving North toward the Catalina Mountains when I turned my gaze to the left and was startled by an intense set of lights on a large, pitch-black object which appeared to be within 5-6 blocks West of my intersection. I was startled by how large the object appeared to be compared to usual aircraft, how close it appeared to me, the intensity and unique semi-linear organization of the lights, and by the fact that the craft appeared to be stationary in the sky. It was lower than a helicopter would typically be, but was larger and flatter than a helicopter. I immediately pulled over with the intent of getting a picture. Once I was stopped and facing the object straight on, I noticed the rectangular shape and what appeared to be a projection on the far dorsal surface, with some of the lights set further back on the craft than others (in contrast to the semi-linear arrangement of my initial perspective). Within about 3 seconds of me getting a good look at it from this view, it began a Southeast descent at only about 10mph faster than what I'd expect from a typical aircraft. At this point I considered that perhaps it was just a helicopter, but I did not hear any sound as it descended and the shape of the object was more bizarre from the sideview, appearing wide across and essentially flat. One light flashed a couple of times at a quick/strobe-like rate while the others were larger, had a slightly more yellowish hue, and remained constant. I turned my car back around the way I'd initially come, to try and follow it, but by the time I had stopped at a stop sign and turned South, it had gone. This seemed unusual to me because my view of the horizon was fairly good, and at the speed I had seen it travelling (55 miles at most) I fully expected to still see it after the ~5 seconds it took to get my car reoriented, but I saw no trace whatsoever. No one in surrounding cars seemed to see it, but I did feel uncomfortable with how low and near me it seemed, and I got the impression that it "responded" to me pulling over to face it because it had been hovering in the same spot while I was watching it while still driving, but started descending/moving away a very short time after I pulled over. The only other thing I can think to note is that there had been a power outage 4-5 hours prior in that area, including outage for the traffic lights of the intersection I was at when I saw the object.

East Phoenix/Tempe, AZ
The neighborhood where I live in Tempe, Az, is in the take of and landing path of air traffic for Phoenix Sky Harbor Int’l Airport. While taking a late evening walk along my street, I happened to notice a bright light in the sky to my right or west of me. This would be the general location which air craft departing Sky Harbor would acesend. At first glance I assumed it was a commercial aircraft. I did a double take noticing that the lights or illuminations from the craft did not strobe or blink as the take off and landing lights, nor were the lights of different colors(red white, green) but a solid vibrant orange red color. The object first appears elongated as the fussolage of a commercial aircraft, but I notice the the craft is not ascending, but moving steadily towards the east and a smooth steady but greater rate of the than a commercial or private aircraft. I noticed there was no sounds of engine, after-burners or propulsion of any kind. Moving very smoo! thly and without any sound. the object maintained an eastern tragectory and into my one o’clock position from my vantage point. The object appeared to turn counterclockwise as if to face south and took an “orb” shape vs elongated cigar shape. As the craft moved to my twelve o’clock, it immediately stopped in place. It hovered in place motionless. Within 5-10 seconds of the orb hovering, white flashes light that circled the orb craft starting from the left side and traveling in swift strobe movements crossing the “front or south facing part of the craft and continues to the right side of the craft. This occurred in rapid succession 3-4 times giving it a high speed camera flash effect. After the final flash, the orb which still remains orange/red glow began and swif, vertical assertion without sounds of engine, jets or propellers. It moved vertically several thousand feet when the orange glow of the orb dimmed to almost invisible or as if it had disappeared behind clouds or contrails and then was no longer visible. Then, seconds later, less vibrant dull orange streak type lights of 3 in tandem formation painted the sky as the muted lights moved in an eastward disention with a great rate of speed- Silently towards the Salt River Reservation and the neighboring metropolitan city of Mesa, AZ.

Tucson, AZ
As I sat there enjoying the beautiful day, looking south across Speedway Blvd behind the Walgreens on the South side Of the street. I noticed this Electric Blue rectangled object just hovering over the near top of a Blue Palo Verde tree situated behind the Walgreens in the desert. I grabbed my Android, engaged the automatic button triggering the camera & just let it rip. Then just as quick as this electric blue rectangled object appeared. Poof. It was just gone. Quite possibly due to the bright desert sun none of the pictures revealed my sighting. The incident sighting that lasted approximately 4 minutes. That day was not my first sighting. Years ago up in Sedona I spotted several sightings. Those sightings were of silver spheres. There ya have it. Thank you for your mission in pursuing the truth.

Maricopa, AZ
Late in the evening, my wife and I were driving south on AZ State Route 347 (between Chandler and Maricopa) when I spotted two bright orange lights to the southwest. This stretch of freeway is sparsely populated and pretty dark at night, so they shone incredibly brightly. They also seemed to be not more than a couple hundred feet or so above the horizon, so initially I thought maybe it could have been lights from a tower of some kind, but I've never noticed them before in all my time driving that stretch of road. I asked my wife if she saw them; to which she commented that she thought it was strange that they were so orange. I then asked her to Google if there were any kind of air fields or radio towers in that area. Her quick search determined there shouldn't be anything in that direction. She went back to looking at her phone, but even though I was driving, my eyes were fixated on them. If you drew a straight line between them, they would seem to be perfec! tly parallel to the ground, and they didn't move at all, at least they didn't seem to from my perspective. They didn't blink, they didn't pulse, they didn't move, they were just there, and bright. It was like they were staring at me. I just stared right back at them for several minutes while I drove. Then, seemingly for no reason, the one on the left faded away, and almost immediately after, the light on the right also faded. They didn't blink out, they didn't disappear behind something, more like a dimmer switch, they faded and were gone.

I went out with them and saw a diamond shape in sky about SSW over the San Tans. It was flashing/flickering orange white red. I just stood there starring and then saw it start to move in a diagonal direction.

I was flying my paramotor, and my iPhone was strapped to my right leg. Sometimes I video my "wing" witch is another name for my parachute, to make sure all is well above me...lins aren't tangled, chute is fully deployed, etc. I noticed a light above my wing. Looks like it way higher than me, but it's didn't seem to move. I went out next day to check for a star at the same time and it was not visible. I have video of it and another person sent me a pic from their windshield from way east of my location showing the same light and 2 others adjacent to it in the sky directly near my location. It was interesting to say the least to see just the one light, but when I received a pic from a friend driving towards me who saw that light plus two that I couldn't see, I was intrigued. Could be weather balloons, but why 3 of them? I was at around 1200ft in the air when I took the video looking straight up above me. No contrails, though the jets were leaving con! trails that day..

Casa Grande, AZ
My home is in the last 2 streets in the neighborhood on the edge of the desert. Took dog outside at 2:45am. Noticed a soft yellow light illuminating the rooftops to the west. My neighbors illuminated roof had a odd pattern of a sharp half circle of darkness. Witnessed the light travel south slowly off the roofs. It was then I realized the light was from behind me at a 60-degree angle up in the sky. Turned around, looking for light source and something large and black silently zipped off Into the darkness. Entire episode happened in silence.
