Lake Havasu City, AZ
My dad was driving, when a "trail" of lights where glowing and blinking in patterns of 1 second. We pulled over and lost sight of them. There where about 6-7 of them, and they teleport-ed back and forth. They were red, and round. They made no shape, just a line in the sky.

White stationary object in southern sky. Teardrop shaped. Emitted red orbs that descended and then rose again about ten minutes later. One of the orbs appeared to land on an island in Lake Powell for several minutes and then it ascended and joined the white object. After 1-1.5 Hours the white object rose slowly and disappeared-moving in a generally western direction. Many witnesses at Antelope Point and also across town at Horseshoe Bend. There were one or two planes that went by during this incident.

Sahuarita, AZ
Saw the exact same lights high in the sky that I reported on the 9/21/2017, in the same small area of sky. Random white flashes of light of differing intensity in a small patch of sky. The lights did not proceed across the sky as an aircraft would but stayed in the same small circular patch of sky. The moon is too bright tonight to see if the location is the exact same place as I saw them before in relation to the Milky Way, but I'm sure it's close. The event only lasted a few seconds this time. Immediately after I saw the lights, I saw the tiny, faint light of a satellite move across the same area of sky and immediately after the satellite, I saw a shooting star go across the sky from north to south. The strange lights are much brighter in intensity than the satellite but I get the impression that they are very high in altitude, much higher than an aircraft would be but I'm not sure if they are out in space or still in the atmosphere.

Object viewed while driving, was able to keep object in sight as I returned home and summoned a family member, and also a neighbor to observe. Object was triangular shaped with rounded edges instead of points. bottom of bi-cornered side had lights changing and in a chasing pattern. Object seemed to hover for 10 minutes, then moved towards east, returned and then disapeared.

We were stargazing outside of Yuma, Arizona, when an orange orb heading South shot through the sky as we were facing West. The strange part was the huge arching air streams coming from the top and the bottom of the orb. Nothing directly behind the object like a jet would have a contrail, but more like waves of air flowing over and under it. After sighting it in my binoculars, it just disappeared.

Me and my coworker were outside smoking and we were headed back inside when I decided to take a picture of the sunset... so I took the picture, and I began to walk back inside the house when I looked down at my phone and noticed the object off to the right, I looked up at the sky to see what it was and nothing was there. So I made a video to prove that we weren't crazy

Sitting outside when we noticed what seemed to be a star bouncing around. Grabbed my iPhone to take photos and use Stargazer App. With the naked eye looked like a star. Zoomed into the object and took about 20 photos of the object as it changed shape and color.

My dog wanted out and all the dogs in the neighborhood were barking. Saw an orange light, like a roman candle, appear above the west horizon and fade out. Then a bright shooting star. Then a white wisp of light shot across the yard like a ghost. Then to the right of the Milky Way in a dark patch of sky, I saw a light flash and thought it was a plane high in the sky. I waited a couple of seconds and it appeared again in a different spot, then it appeared in another spot and kept doing that but was confined to that one dark patch of sky. It didn't progress across the sky as a plane would have. It must have flashed for a few minutes like that and then nothing. Later I saw a couple of jets from Davis Monthan AFB flying back to base. Also saw a sputnik (as my Granddad used to say) before I saw the strange lights.

As soon as I could (within several minutes), I grabbed my binocs and looked in the area but saw nothing. About 15 minutes later I saw a plane fly into the area where the object(s) was and flew around there for, at least, 10 minutes, before flying off in the direction it had come from. The orbs were quite similar in appearance to a sighting I had several weeks ago in the SE sky.

Chandler, AZ
I Woke up from sleep at 3:30 am and noticed my phone was dead (odd because it was fully charged a few hours ago) I go to the outlet near my bedroom window and happen to look out. It is an east facing window. I saw a bright white light that I pushed off as a star. I went to the kitchen and back and looked out again. I now saw the light now flashing red and blue. I think ok its a plane. I decide to look one more before I get back in bed. It is now pulsing green with almost laser looking lights all around except for the top left corner also pulsing green in a clockwise circular pattern. I was shocked and rushed outside. I had no way to photograph because of the dead phone. I watched until 4:15 it was stationary the entire time and would pulse green with long starburst formation then go back to a plain white light and sometimes flash red and blue in the center. Like I said, this was stationary the entire time until I went in at 4:15 am . I looked out one more time from my window and it was no longer visible directly from my window. I crouched down and the green light was now directly above my apartment building(still stationary). I went to bed and had strange dreams and thought I was hearing loud noises all night.

Phoenix, AZ
About 11:00pm, in the city of Phoenix, Az, about 5 miles South of Sky Harbor airport, as I sat in my backyard I observed a black chevron-shaped UFO pass over me as it traveled in a South-Easterly direction at a quite high rate of speed. The object was in my field of vision for at least three seconds but no more than five as it passed overhead in total silence. I had no reference to be able to judge its size or altitude accurately, but if I had to estimate its altitude I would suggest that it would be in the 500-750ft range. If one were to make a 'peace sign' with their left hand and hold these fingers at arm's length, this would approximate its apparent size and shape. The object was black, darker than the night sky as we have a lot of light pollution. The underside of the craft had circular lights on the bottom.

As we drove on the highway heading west on highway 86 as I looked in review mirror I noticed a very large flying object almost moving in the same direction, It had lights like little windows, and was looking in my rear view mirror, I asked my passenger to look back, and he saw the same. It seemed to follow us for a bit, then as on coming traffic lights showed up it seemed to go black and was gone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

8/30/2017 I was driving to Mesa, AZ, from Globe, AZ, via the US 60. I had already cleared the city, and was well on my way through the back country of the US 60 when the siting occurred. It was roughly 20:15 and the sun was still setting to the west. However, to the east, the sky was already dark. As I came around a bend on the highway, I glanced towards a dark empty part of the sky. The bearing of my sight was roughly 120 degrees SSE. I noticed a light in the sky that appeared to have a reddish orange glow. Upon further inspection, I noticed this light was more of an orb positioned just over the horizon, but close enough to tell that it was not a star in the sky. The orb was so odd looking that I could not focus on anything but the light, only taking my eyes off it to glance back at the road. Having a background in aviation communications I was quick to make the judgement that this was not an anti-collision light of any sort and not an aircraft light that I had seen in the past. The glow was almost incandescent as opposed to having an LED appearance. The orb did not waver at all. It held its position, and that’s what I found so odd about it. About 15-20 seconds in, the orb shot out an additional orb to the east of it. The second orb maintained the same position once it shot out from the first orb. Both orbs now were the same exact size and luminosity. If I were to guess they were about 100 feet away from each other in the sky. It was also apparent that the second orb traveled from the first orb to its position because a slight tracer of light was visible; the second orb did not just appear. It traveled from the first orb to its position. At this point, there were two identical orbs in the sky and just as I thought that was crazy enough, a third orb shot out from the second orb. Now 3 identical orbs maintained their positions in the sky. They did not move or flicker. Roughly 10-15 seconds after that, they all disappeared rather quick, almost as if they quickly! faded, but it was hard to tell. I will attempt to display what I saw. * 5-10 seconds * <- * 10-20 seconds * <-* * 20-30 seconds (GONE AFTER ROUGHLY 1 MINUTE) We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite sober-minded and sincere. We suspect he is a highly credible witness. PD

Just before I walked outside and saw this my Wife , who was outside, said she saw them flash one at a time begore I went out. After the last flash I saw they were gone. I got my binoculars but saw nothing but stars after this.

Superior, AZ
I was headed east on 60 through Superior, AZ. I took the exit for highway 177 toward Kearny/Winkelman. I was just at the outskirts of Superior heading south. The sun had set; western sky had some glow, but the eastern sky was relatively dark. I'm not sure of the exact time, but think it was around 8 pm. In the sky ahead of me (to the south and slightly east) were 3 yellowish, glowing lights. They appeared more like a soft yellow star, a bit like a candle flame in color. They did not twinkle. They were arranged in a formation that was similar to the stars in Orion's belt. They were about 60 degrees above the horizon. I pulled over to watch and after about 10 seconds, they just faded out. After about 5 seconds, they faded back into view in the same locations. They did not appear to be moving. After another 5 seconds, they faded out again. They did not fly off, nor did they suddenly blink out; they faded out over a second or two. I sat in my truck for another 5 minutes or so and did not see them again. I worked in and retired from the nuclear power industry. I performed root cause investigations, self assessments, audits, and technical reviews of procedures and documents. I ended my career working as a consultant in nuclear power.

Flying over open pit copper mine in Arizona enroute to Atlanta from San Diego. Looking at copper mine at 35,000 feet, noticed a disk at low altitude near mine. It was a saucer shaped disk. It stood out in the terrain, hovering. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

This could have been nothing or possibly drones, but I was looking over my balcony which faces roughly central and Indian School Rd. There is a multi story building there. I saw what at first from the distance were a few helicopters just hovering, or so I thought. They had ref lights with a flashing Light underneath, moments later one zipped up and then to the right super quick, never seen any drone or aircraft move so quickly. Then the other one zipped off to the other side and darted off behind the building. I was concerned so I called phoenix pd to see if they had drones out and was advised they don't use drones. Was very strange to see this because the lights On them we're so bright and have never seen anything move like that before most drones I have seen don't have lights bright enough to see 1/4 mile away

Dateland, AZ
Approximately at 0230 just east of Dateland, AZ, there was a flash of white light that lit up the entire desert as if in broad daylight. My wife and I saw what appeared to be a cone shaped object in a hover off to the north of us probably a couple feet off the ground, it then disappeared as fast as we saw it and another flash happened about thirty seconds later over some hills further northwest probably 12-15 miles away. As an aircraft maintainer in the armed forces, I knew this wasn't anything in our military's catalog of war machines. My wife and I decided to pull off to get gas and get a better look in Tacna, AZ, about 10 minutes after the initial flashes. All the drive to said gas station we continued seeing this object come closer to the highway then move rapidly away. At the gas station we noticed a weird hazy glow coming off of the object, which was still cone shaped with a green light vertically and white lights on the bottom. As we were watching, about five other objects appeared as well all in an odd pattern in the Big Dipper constellation.
