They were moving too quickly to be planes, and I saw one get lower and lower to the ground and then just disappear.

In the video there is a flashing light in the sky that appears and disappears repeatedly. By eye the objects appears to have an aura or haze around it. I have seen these frequently by naked eye and cannot seem to identify what it could be.

SE Arizona (I-10 EB), AZ
My daughter and I run team for a large package delivery company. We pull doubles most often from Texas to California and back every week. Thursday night around 21:30 hours she was driving and talking to her daughter via Bluetooth when I overheard her say, “What the Hell?!?”. I was in the bunk half awake and I didn’t think anything of it, thinking it was just part of her conversation. Then she yells back at me “Dad! Get up here! I saw something really weird! It’s freaking me out!” I climb forward and she proceeds to describe the events that had just occurred. First she witnessed a large bright meteor streak across the sky relatively low from North to South perfectly horizontally. A few minutes later she saw a translucent Peridot green glowing object appearing to be approx 2 school buses length flat or saucer shaped with two extremely bright Peridot green lights on both ends rapidly descend straight down to the ground that appeared to be perhaps only 1/2 to 1 mile distant. She fully expected to see or hear an explosion but there was none whatsoever. What’s really strange is she was immediately compelled to head straight towards where the object apparently landed… And I mean STRAIGHT...as in cutting across the median and the opposite side of I-10. Fortunately, she resisted the powerful urge. Two weeks prior while I was driving that same stretch of I-10 East of Tucson and the New Mexico State line our GPS our GPS began inexplicably telling me “I-10 Eastbound is closed...take exit...” at virtually EVERY exit for the next 70-80 miles. The GPS was trying to direct me North off of I-10 on a “Detour” around the “Closed” Interstate. There is no “bypass” around I-10 in that area...and I-10 was not closed anywhere across there. I told my daughter perhaps it was an extraterrestrial “Bug-Zapper”...lure you in with irresistibly compelling lights and then “Zap” you. Lol

Chandler, AZ
I was heading northbound on McQueen Road. As I approached Warner Road, I noticed a bright light in the sky at approximately one o’clock from my position and at 30 degrees. The light seemed like a streetlight at first, then I noticed it was too high up and farther away. Then I thought maybe a star since the sky was clearing up and the stars were out. The light went from a bright light to a flashing series of lights. OK, must be a plane. I looked around and saw other planes in the sky. One was to my left at eleven o’clock and heading toward the light. I continued driving northbound and saw it out of my peripheral vision. As I neared W. Guadalupe Road, the light seemed to have shifted position slightly to the east, but was at the same elevation, however the plane to the left had slowly moved past it. As I watched it, it suddenly seemed to pick up speed and took off like a bullet out of a gun, heading straight east and was gone in less than a second. I continued scanning the skies all the way to US 60 to see if it would come back. It was gone.

Sahuarita, AZ
I saw with the naked eye lights in the sky on what someone would say in an oval craft. They were lighting on and off around the craft. Now and then something distended from the craft. I took many pictures. On the pictures there are three distinct shapes that look equally apart in terms of distance. First the orange tubular orange shape. It got long, short, bright. Whatever is inside was spinning as seen on video. Second is a dark gray shape. You must enlarge to even see it. The inside of this shape was spinning. The third shape started as two white circles. Then in the middle and even brighter bite line displayed. The circles turned into a comma shape and was blue, white, yellow. I was looking out a side front window. Lasted for an hour. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she seemed to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. We are awaiting copies of photos she took of the object. PD

It was almost invisible, but the moon was low on the horizon and was blocking out the stars as it past. It was completely silently flying at about 500 feet high. It was about the sizes off a small plane. I live in Phoenix, Arizona Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Sonoita, AZ
Sept 21st 2018 from 8:00 - 8:30 p.m. We were taking turns looking through my husband's telescope. I was also looking through high powered binocular at clouds around the moon. I saw something silver that had a 3 dimensional shape, like an elongated guitar pick with a rounded top - as in a canopy on an airplane. It was between the earth and clouds, the side of it facing the moon was bright silver, then it grayed to black on the side away from the moon. Then it faded from view, literally after a minute or so, like a dimmer switch on the lamp. We kept looking for it and soon saw two objects traveling together between us and the clouds again. They looked like balls of light and would slow, then speed up. Next there were three of them in formation like a triangle. My husband saw 5 of them in the telescope, I saw 4 by the time I looked through it, but they were flying together in a formation.

Sedona, AZ
Approaching Sedona from Interstate 17, we observed a flying object that did not behave like a normal aircraft. The object was stationary, then moved up, down farther quickly. It then moved side to side and abruptly departed up and to the right in a very very rapid pace.

On September 3rd around 19:24, my husband, 2 year old and I were driving in Phoenix, Arizona, near Glendale. I looked out the window to my left and saw 6-10 bright lights in a line formation coming from the horizon. We found a place to pull over on a quiet road and waited for the objects to pass over. Once they did, we were shocked at how silent they were. We couldn’t hear the craft at all. From a distance they were white lights but once they passed us they were green red and white. The objects were flying very low, right above the buildings and yet I couldn’t make out the shape of any of the craft. They started to disperse after flying over.

Prescott Valley, AZ
My friend and I were sitting out back, facing east. The moon had come up over the mountain about 10 minutes previous. My friend looked north and said, "What's that?" Low on the horizon was a moving light. I told him it was a plane (Prescott Airport is behind our location, so they are not uncommon). He said not that one, and pointed to a light above the rooftops in the distance. As we watched, it seemed to bob and drift slightly like someone's hobby drone. I managed to get and extreme zoom steady picture (which had to be greatly enlarged on my pc). It appeared to have 6 red lights and 2 blue/green. It seemed to be changing colors, but it was a distance. On one photo where I moved, it appears as a multicolored streak, showing the different colors. Thinking it was someone's drone, I forgot about it. A couple of hours later I went out to look at the stars before going to bed. It was still there, just higher in the sky. I sent photos to a professor at Embry Riddle Aeronautic University in Prescott. I knew that they had a UAV program. He eventually got back to me and said no body there claims it. I just figured it was military. Watching "Hanger One" made me think of reporting it. I sent photos to the local paper to see if anyone else saw it. They just called to verify I sent them.

The 26th and 27th, my husband and daughter have witnessed a very bright light in the sky. At first it looks like a star but you notice its too close to be a star. It shines very bright then dims. It hovers for quite awhile then moves so slow you can safely tell it has moved. It stays beside the path of the airplanes .

Scottsdale, AZ
1450ft above sea level. Viewed from 33°36’48” N x 111°52’35 W Viewed with a naked eye Numerous unidentified “aircraft” shaped objects above North Scottsdale, Sunday, August 5th, 2018, at 8:48 p.m. The initial object was a solid bright orange, not flashing, then the orange disappeared and was replaced by what appeared to be all dark with a spotlight being adjusted. This object was moving NE to SW, then changed direction and moved W, it flew at increased and decreased pitch like a greater-than-less-than symbol. Several airplanes appeared shortly after and began flying towards the object, at which point three additional objects that appeared to look like Military Drones, as they were torpedo-shaped but with large bat or seagull shaped wings. As it was dark outside, I determined shape by looking at the cast of the light. Eventually a fourth object that was solely a golden Naples-yellow color appeared where previously I had identified Venus as being with the use of the SkyView Application, as if the lights were just turned on, and then the object began traveling quite slowly North to South. All of the objects with the exception of the identifiable aircraft were silent, and no wind sheer could be heard. The initial object appeared to be around 15,000 feet high, while the other objects appeared to be above the 38,000ft altitude most commercial aircraft fly at. Then at 9:35pm what initially appeared to be a military aircraft, silently jettisoned across the sky very quickly, North to South, before eventually turning and heading East also seen from Scottsdale. Though initially it appeared to be a military jet with traditional lighting for perhaps a Stealth plane or an F18 Hornet, then the lights suddenly vanished and a golden light overtook the silhouette of the aircraft and instead of traveling East it made a full loop very quickly as if traveling faster than anything I’d ever seen before, at which point a loud guttural sound was heard, perhaps it was an antique military craft, but all observations do not support that theory. Throughout the totality of the event a plethora of sounds could be heard from airplane, to jet sounds, to sounds similar to motor boats, as well as sounds similar to Electronic music synthesizers. The initial observer and his fiancée are a 34 year old man and a 33 year old woman ,residents of Scottsdale, who is originally from Chicago and recently moved to Arizona in 2017, initially moving to Wickenburg before moving to Scottsdale on 1/118. The man is a graduate of Columbia College Chicago and has a degree in Art History and has a passion for art, fashion, photography, wildlife, poetry, literature, history, Geology, Lapidary, Nature, and Politics. The woman studied Pre-Med at Northwestern University Chicago and received an additional degree in Creative Non-fiction from Pitzer College, California, she top shares many of the same interests, and they both work in high fashion retail management. The third observer is an Arizona native, 35 years old, with a history of drug abuse and extensive criminal background, the fourth observer is also an Arizona Native who works in Engineering and Refrigeration, lives in Scottsdale and enjoys off-roading. He is 39 years of age.

While traveling south on interstate 17 at mile marker 252 I saw a double red light float over the interstate. The object was not much higher than the power lines. It was traveling west towards Prescott, AZ. I did not hear any sound.

Concho, AZ
Sitting outside and noticed a bright light in the sky above my husband's head. It was rapidly moving downward and became brighter as it appeared to fall. It looked almost as if it was on fire. There was a military her in flight just above it. The light quickly went out after increase in the brightness. We soon saw at least 6-8 aircraft in the area as if they were looking for something. We noticed 3 additional bright lights in the sky very high in the atmosphere one was orange and the other two were blue. They were all traveling different directions. One was heading southeast to northwest. Another was heading south to north, and the third was heading southwest to east. The fireball lasted approximately 3 minutes, and the others were seen within a 30 minute time span after we saw the fireball looking light. Myself and my husband both lost cell phone service and it did not come back on until 9:20pm.

Two Blue lights appearing in the low sky East of phoenix (From Scottsdale they were in the direction of Mesa). Both lights blinked and moved around each other in a circular pattern. They remained in that general direction for 1.5 hours. They appeared to have bursts of light a couple times. They were pointed out to us by a neighbor. We had company at our house and we all went outside to witness. We took photos and a video. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

I was in prison during this time and I noticed right before head count a buddy and I were standing out side of the tent and I was looking up into the sky and saw a disc shaped object. And I point it out to my friend and when he saw it too. We were amazed. Im 100% sure it was a disc shaped and it was silent. Couldn't hear not sound from it. It was moving very slow above the cloud line and and there were very few cloud in the sky. But that not the best part. What was more interesting was when it went into the cloud it never came out on the side. The cloud was not that big and you could easily see both sides of the cloud. Till this day it bugs me because I know for a fact what I saw I was never a believer about aliens until I witnessed that.
