Hello Sr . I was in the back porch in my wheelchair a few hour ago, when I was coming back inside the house, a hummingbird caught my attention, so I pulled my iPad and took a few pictures of him. When I was back inside looked at the same location, but don’t know what picture is it. The photo submitted by the witness shows a rufous hummingbird in flight, together with a lens flare, caused by pointing a camera at the Sun. PD

Two of us witnessed at least two dozen orange lights traveling from N to SW at a 40 degree angle to the horizon. The first bunch came in then some trailed behind then a few more in a bunch then more trailed in in a snake like pattern. They were not floating like lanterns and were not drones. No blinking. All of them disappeared at the same western spot. We couldn't tell if they flew into a cloud because it wasn't a totally clear night. There was no noise. They flew slowly like a helicopter would fly. We live north of LUKE AFB and are familiar with the F16's, 18's and 35's. We also see and hear passenger jets approach Sky Harbor and smaller craft that use two smaller airports. I phoned LUKE AFB and they did not have any helicopter squadron maneuver. The way the bunches of these were traveling it looked dangerous because there wasn't any pattern.

Buckeye, AZ
Last night around 6:30pm, and then again this morning around 5:30am, I saw the same lights and from my perspective thought they were hovering over the high school south of my location. I distinctly thought that it must be drones or something since they looked like there were right above the football stadium. This time, however, nearly my whole family and I were driving a few miles south of the stadium and saw the same lights, except they looked much further south and appeared to be on or above the mountains south of buckeye, Arizona. I recognized the same lights and realized I misjudged where they were the previous two times. There's lights seemed to appear in groups of two or more. Are amber in color and can be seen for miles away. They only last for about 10 minutes or less. It appears to be in a horizontal line and twinkle slightly, causing me to wonder if it was an aircraft. This time when seeing them they disappeared after about 2 minutes, then another two lights appeared a few miles west and approximately in the same horizontal plane at about the same altitude. They two lights acted the same, slightly moving or twinkling, but they were slightly farther apart. They also are now gone. Lasted for about 3 to 5 minutes.

While watching the west horizon and the evening star, saw 5 yellow orange lights simultaneously appear. They were well off to the west of me in an irregular group and were motionless. They then one by one disappeared without displaying any movement.

Ganado, AZ
Approximately 2112 hours on Saturday, December 8, 2018, I was at work as an ER Physician (also 23 years experience USAF Flight Surgeon in helo operations Combat Search and Rescue) in the Sage Memorial Hospital ER in Ganado, AZ, about 65 miles west of Gallup NM, roughly at the intersection of Highway 191 and 264, when co-workers told me that they were seeing lights outside in the clear cold black night sky. They said they had first seen them when they called a patient to the nurse’s station, and the family said the patient was outside looking at lights. I immediately went outside and saw about 20 small lights about the size of a bright star, white in color, slowly blinking about 0.5 seconds on and 1 seconds off, independently, without co-ordination, in a loose long cluster estimated to be 0.25 to 0.5 miles long, moving together at varied, but maintained altitudes, at 25 to 30 degrees above the horizon at a distance of about 4 miles. They were roughly moving from Southeast to Northwest. Distance is only roughly estimated as there were very few objects for any frame of reference. Other people were standing close by, (and I tried to collect their impressions) and one person pulled up and hopped out his car and said he had seen them slowly headed this way for the last 5 to 10 minutes as he drove from Gallup, New Mexico, on Highway 264, west to Ganado, AZ. There was no discernable shape to any of the objects, as the objects were too far away to make out any details, and the hospital compound lights interfered with good visibility – think orangish halogen or mercury-vapor lamps. The objects passed behind the gym, a two-story structure about 100 yards away, at quite a distance behind the gym, more than one mile, for sure, and then headed North by Northwest with an inferred slight course change to the North. The objects could have been easily between 4 and 20 miles away, and distance estimation is unreliable due to night sky and! lack of any shape or moonlight. The lights looked independen! t in movement, blinking independently and similarly, and moving together, as in a formation. There was no noise, odor, or any other unusual phenomenon noted with their passage. They disappeared over the last 10 seconds of the sighting, quickly to the north, growing dimmer. The entire episode for me lasted 30 seconds. I have seen Air Force, Marine and Army helicopters do the same, but not in these numbers at night, nor in this remote location, and the objects passed silently. I would think a large formation of helicopters at night would be readily identified by their noise signature. About 2400 hours, one of the ER Techs noted that someone had posted info on Facebook of a similar sighting in the area around Chuska Mountain, NM, about 38 miles from Ganado, and that this sighting had occurred about 2100 hours, for a flight time of 12 min, resulting in a speed calculation of 190 miles an hour. This speed is much more in the range of military helicopters. The Facebook reference also has video attached, and the reference is: Facebook, Road Conditions Navajo Reservation Wide, D... C......: 3 hours ago, "Yooo anyone see all those blinking lights going over Chuska Mountain from Red Valley?" Scroll down to video posted by R...... D.... and this was what I saw. IF this was a military op, then it should be easy to verify. (( Possible military exercise??

Black object moving around in same area appearing around dark clouds for several minutes. It seemed to be a kite at first and I walked directly underneath it because I thought it was a kite flapping in the wind. When I looked for the strings and a witness it disappeared.

Tucson, AZ
Was driving westbound in eastern Tucson. Saw long rectangular flashing lights in sky above. The flash would appear then appear again in a different spot. Too short of time and too far apart to be helicopters or airplanes. No sound. It looked like multiple objects. The objects moved west and kept flashing until it was too far to see. The rapid flashing continued the same the entire time. The only color of flash was white similar to an LED white color.

Observed three lights in the sky looking east over the Catalina Mountains. The lights were very close together, the object was not moving and made no sound. I went into the house to retrieve a camera, and when I came out again, the lights were gone.

Casa Grande (outside of), AZ
Monday Nov. 26, 2018; at approx 8:40 p.m. On SR87 heading South to eventual destination of Tucson. Before N. signal Peak Rd. Right after White Mountain pass Rd. I saw an orange-red light that had no afterglow. The color was almost neon in nature. Shape; light went straight up into an upside down U then extended down. The light appeared, then went black, then came back on, then off. The truck in front of us slowed then stopped in the road for a few seconds, then drove off. A car driving the opposite way stopped by the side of the road and 2 passengers got out of their car and looked up. My husband, our driver, cursed at the driver in front of us who had stopped and then we took off. My husband made no mention of the light and I did not mention it too him. My husband is retired law enforcement, he would not talk about such things.

Scottsdale, AZ
We went outside on the patio and noticed a light in the sky, making erratic movements intermittently. There was some kind of hazy aura around the object. It appeared to be low in the sky and then disappeared. We live very close to Scottsdale Airpark and see planes in the flight path daily. There were other planes flying to and from the airpark when we noticed this object, which was very different from the planes flying last night and during other times we have seen them. It was very obviously not an airplane but we have no other idea what it could have been. We spoke with both witnesses to the event, husband and wife, and we found them both to be quite eloquent and sober-minded. We suspect that they are highly reliable witnesses. PD

Object maintained course moving north and at about 45 degrees, it faded away. Didn’t not follow any flight paths in the area. No blinking or pulsing lights. No sounds were distinct. And for reference a helicopter and plane flew over within 60 seconds of occurrence and were very audible. This thing was orange and glowing. Brightest thing in the sky besides the full moon. Like the orange of a traffic controller. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Above us were lights moving straight through the sky, it seemed to he somewhat of a cigar shape and made bo noise. From the looks of the bright blue and red lights, it looked very close, but with the windows rolled down it didn't make a sound.

Phoenix, AZ
On or about 20:51 of November 22, 2018, my girlfriend and I witnessed several fireball looking objects crossing the sky south of Phoenix, then again on November 24th at about the same time and finally a third siting on 12/15/18, around 21:30. Looking towards the south on the first siting, they were moving north north-east, second siting moving from the south moving north north-west and the final siting from the south moving north north-east again. They appeared to be bright orange-red glowing objects, fireballs. They didn't appear to be bright red in the videos I will be submitting, but they were with the naked eye, bright red-orange fireball looking objects usually following the same trajectory each night. Sometimes just one visible, at other times, several at one time at an unknown distance apart in the sky. I live in Arcadia, a suburb in east phoenix, with a view of southern sky. They were moving at a speed consistant with airliners that I see departing Phoenix international airport. They crossed the entire view of the southern sky to the east and west of my house to where I had to look north to see them disappear.

3 of my teenage children and myself were getting into the car to go to the store when we witnessed 2 red lights that seemed to be intermittently twinkling. We continued to watch the red lights and a third smaller one appeared, at which point all three lights became steadily lit and stopped twinkling. They were in a half circle formation initially, but as the began to glow steady, they moved into a triangular formation. Then one of the lights that was the smallest, located at the bottom left corner of the formation began to dim, and continued to dim until it completely vanished. The red light on the bottom right of the formation became brighter, then moved more to the right and began to flash and grow dim as well, until it too, vanished completely. The red light at the top of the triangular formation- the only light left, became brighter and continued to glow red and steady as it moved higher and higher into the sky until it was gone, just like the other two red lights.

Marble Canyon, AZ
At 7:59 when my friend and I and my 3 year old daughter were driving from Park City to Dallas, Tx we noticed smoke everywhere. It looked like there was a fire somewhere but we never saw one. Shortly thereafter we noticed two crafts - one large one to the left of us and the second quite a distance away to the right. I have had many experiences with UFO’s so I wasn’t really surprised but my friend was. The strange thing was between around 8:15 and 10:56PM we appeared to have lost time. Neither of us knows what happened but it was like time just started over and it was 10:56 I remember because I looked down when I took the video at the time and I was so confused and so was my friend. I also know because I had taken a photo of my daughter asleep in the back seat at 7:19 PM and it was about 40 min later that we saw the crafts but they were very far away. At 10:56 when we took the first video the one on the left was directly overhead and the ship was huge. We didn’t hear any noises but we could both make out the different parts of the craft above us. We could even see the lights around the perimeter and the pod inside. The one on the right was still far away but it made odd movements and was clearly a triangle. 10:59 was the last video we took and they finally disappeared shortly thereafter.

Initially, there were 4 flashing lights of equal brightness in the western, slightly north-western sky at abut 45 degrees from the horizon. We were viewing these lights from the far east side of Tucson. What was odd was that they stayed completely stationary for a few minutes. Three continued this way while one approached another and then stopped flashing. Eventually they seemed to retreat into the distance and the flashing became fainter. As they faded, they gave the impression that they were reflecting pulses of light rather than emitting flashes because of how the light seemed to scatter as if reflecting off a surface. It was sort of like they were retreating into a haze. It reminded me a little of the footage I have seen of the lights above Phoenix.
