Sedona, AZ
Large golden light - cone shape with golden circle top brighter than any star - hovered for a long time in one place, then started moving over West Sedona neighborhood. The object started moving much faster toward directly over me, especially when I called my boyfriend and told him to hurry up and get there. I got in car and drove away, around the block once. When I returned the object was gone. (( For some reason, witness indicates that the date above is approximate. PD)

Several aircrafts seen with flashing lights. They would come together and form a bigger white lights then race in the sky and go in all directions. Then they would disappear while the others would form groups. They would go forward and backwards. They would go very low and at super fast speeds go up into the sky. No sounds was heard from them.

08/14/17 12:20 a.m., I was driving home, east bound, and I noticed a odd haze in the sky, and then a light slowly became very bright then would dim to darkness, there seemed to be two separate lights but very close to one another. I observed several sessions of this happening and it remained in one spot, then finally disappeared and only darkness was left as if it never happened.

Several of us saw several lights pass right over our head in a octagon formation. They were passing slightly through/below the clouds coming from the west heading east. They disappeared into the clouds after about a minute of observing them. There was no sound coming from the objects

Looking in the west direction, black object moved across the sky from south to north moving very fast (arms length cover 5 sec) time. Object was much higher then commercial airline due to seeing commercial airline moving north to west direction. Object stopped on a dime then shot straight up no longer in view. The black disk shaped object had no markings, no lights, no noise and very big. The size of this object was about 5-6 Boeing 747 in diameter at 80 degrees from my position of view. Seconds later another large object (white) at the same altitude as the black object moved north to where the black object shot straight up and lost view. The white object was saucer in shape much lighter in color then the first object, also at 80 degrees of view. The white object was moving very fast, (half of arm's length covered 2.5 seconds +-) The white object had no markings, no light, no noise). Location view: Mayo Clinic Shea Blvd facing west, it was truly amazing thing to see, my only regret was that I didn't have time to record or take pictures with cellphone.

Phoenix, AZ
August 4, 2017 approx. 21:15 Phoenix, AZ It was a clear sky, the moon was out and almost full, the temperature was in the mid to upper 90s. I was swimming in the pool, floating on my back looking at the night sky, when I saw what I thought was a falling star streak from the East-Southeast towards the West-Northwest, stopping short of the Big Dipper. It struck me as odd right away, as it left behind a glowing trail; something similar to what an old CRT TV would do when you turned it off in a darkened room. Then, within 3 to 4 seconds, a bright light flashed, just outside of where the streak that was left by the “falling star” had ended. That’s when I realized this was not a falling star. For the next 5 minutes I watched, as this object and possibly two others, flashed intermittently with varying intensity from very bright quick flashes of white, to a dull slowly growing intensity, culminating in bright white, then instantly dark. During this time, the objects started moving to the East very slowly. There was no pattern or timing to the flashing or the intensity. The light was mostly white, but there was a bluish tinge to it at times. It seemed to be 3 objects in close proximity to one another. After about 5 minutes, the activity was no longer visible.

About 2am, my dog got me up barking to go outside, which is rare. He seemed very upset. I stayed outside with him for about an hour, looking at the stars. When we got outside, a monster truck was racing around the neighborhood, so that could have been what had him upset, but I kind of doubt it. He also did eventually poop after about an hour, so could have been that. He seemed very upset the whole time, like someone or something was out there. I saw a randomly flashing light in the sky exactly like what is on the YouTube video below (not my video). The moving light was very high altitude like a satellite. I've never seen a blinking satellite before. It would blink randomly, dim then dark, then bright, then dark, then maybe dim for a couple of times, then dark, then bright, repeatedly but randomly. It was moving slower than a satellite from west to east. The speed seemed to alter and even stop at times. I watched it for maybe five minutes but it was still there when I went back inside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xVF2sfxj8I It was the same thing as described in this recent report by someone on your site: http://nuforc.org/webreports/135/S135177.html

Headed out of my house to work, I looked to see a beautiful bright Venus in Eastern Sky. I then noticed a "Bright, Orange, Light, Fireball, possibly Craft it seemed to be traveling away from Earth as it got smaller and smaller. I didn't hear any sound of propulsion and It did not leave a trail, but it was orange in color and Very Bright for first couple of mins.

Casa Grande, AZ
I was about 13 when this occurred, I am from San Diego California but when this happened it was in Casa grande Arizona. One evening the sun was setting and it was getting dark. As I walked into the backyard I saw something in the corner of my eye. As I turned my head I seen some type of craft I’ve never seen in my life, and it was hovering a few feet over the neighbors roof (which was completely empty then because they had moved out). I had yelled so my grandma could come outside and she had also seen what I was seeing. I stood there for 20 minutes in shock just staring at this craft which I knew wasn’t from this world. That’s because this craft didn’t portray any light, it had no sound, & it floated dead still in the air not moving at all!!!!! The part that still freaks me out to this day is that I remember as I watched this craft, I felt a strong energy coming from it and also like I was being watched like the craft knew I was watching it. So after standing there for about 20 minutes just staring at the craft and feeling this strong energy from it as it also never made a sound or movement. I said to myself that I was gonna walk in the house for 10 seconds to see if it will move at all or maybe even vanish. I stepped in the house and counted to 10, then walked outside and the craft that I had been staring out for all that time had completely vanished there was no trace of it. I also saw nothing flying away in the distance mind you I was only gone for 10 seconds!!!! I knew what I had seen with something other worldly.

I am a truck driver who was driving in the state of Arizona on interstate 10 east bound between mile marker 181 and 182. I initially noticed one circular bright light in the sky swooping down over a field then back into the sky at a high rate of speed. As I noticed the light coming back around repeating the the same motion, I was closer to the object than before. As I noticed the object swoop down almost touching the field only one light was on, then a second, and then a third circular light appeared. Each light was evenly spaced in a straight line. As this was happening, I turned my head out the window and looked back as the object was ascending back up toward the sky. With the lights pointing up I was able to see the shape of this object. The shape of this object resembled a large rectangular wing similar to a wing on an old time wwII plane. The side of this object opposite of the three lights had the middle part of this wing purtrud out in the center of the wing like a tab. So that side was not completely straight, The other side with the lights was straight with three large white circular lights in a row. I attempted while watching this to take a picture but was unable to while driving. I have never seen anything like this during my 15 years on the road as a truck driver and wanted to report this and hopefully get a logical explanation on what this may have been. I have a sketch of this object as well that I can mail to you. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be unusually eloquent in his description of the object, and quite sober-minded. We suspect that he is a highly capable, and highly reliable, witness. We have corrected the date to read July 14. PD

This evening my mother and I were on the front patio talking, when very high in the sky I noticed a small, far away, bright light. It looked like a star but extremely bright, yet the sun had not set yet. I was shocked it was so bright. Then it started to move down, to us it seemed as though it was moving slowly, but it appeared to be quite far away so it could've been quickly. As it moved downward it faded slowly until it completely disappeared. There were no clouds in the area for it to disappear into. We watched it until it got so dim we could no longer see it. I yelled for my husband and by the time he came outside it was too dim for him to see. We stayed out there about another 10 minutes. All of a sudden, my husband was yelling, "Holy crap there it is!!!" I looked up in the same spot and sure enough there it was. So extremely bright and fading as it slowly moved downward. It appeared to be very very high in the sky. I am not sure if this was a UFO or something else, but I came upon this site when searching for other possible similar sightings. I thought I would share my experience in case others had or will have the same! Thanks much!

Kingman, AZ
While taking my pre-dawn morning walk I witnessed this incident at 04:30 hr PST. Foothills of the Hualapai Mountains east of Kingman, AZ. Very dark and clear. In the same location as my reported sighting on the morning of 07/04/17, I spotted the same bright white randomly flashing object at approx. 65 degrees up from the western horizon, just above, and in between, the stars, Altair and Vega. This object again just like 48 hours before flashed bright white quickly every 10-20 seconds. This object seemed to be moving slightly between flashes. I then spotted a faint object like a dim star chasing after the flash. As soon as the flashing object appeared the other faint object would change its course to pursue it. The pursuing object was visible throughout the sighting. The flashing object seemed to be toying with the chasing pursuer, changing locations slightly as the pursuing object abruptly changed it course to catch up to it. This continued on for approx. 10 minutes in the space of approx. a 5 inch circumference at arm's length until they both faded/stopped as the sun was rising. There was no sound from either object.

Kingman, AZ
While taking my pre-dawn morning walk in Kingman, Arizona, I witnessed this incident at 0428 hr PST. My Coordinates at time of sighting: LAT N 35 degrees, 11’ 3” / LONG W 113 degrees, 59’ 53” While I was walking due north, I witnessed a bright, quick “white” flash high & to the east of me approx. 70 degrees up from the horizon to the left of the star Mirach in the constellation Andromeda. This flash was the size of the planet Venus which was directly below it. I first thought that it was tumbling space debris so I fixed my sight there. Approx. 10 seconds later it flashed again. It seemed to be in the same location as the last flash so I trained my eye to see if I can locate this objects faint trajectory. I could not see one. For the next 5 minutes (approx.) this bright white flash continued at about 10 -20 seconds apart. The object was moving but it seemed to only move 5-10 degrees in between flashes. It stayed within the area of Mirach and then finally stopped. This sighting was unusual in that 2 days later, at the same time of the morning, I witnessed this object again, but this time it was being chased by a faint object that I will file in the next report dated 07/06/17 @ approx. 0430 hrs..

Cave Creek, AZ
We were leaving the firework display in town, heading home, going westbound out of town. In dark sky over Rancho Manana noticed what looked like a very large constellation, almost like a large Cassiopea and an exaggerated Orion's belt together. As we were looking, the stars appeared to hover around each other, they then started to move eastbound and separate from their formation and continue traveling. We pulled the car over and watched them til the were out of our site.

Sedona, AZ
I was sitting on my patio talking with a friend on the phone on a clear blue sky one afternoon. Suddenly I saw a shiny cylinder which appeared to be 10-20 ft high and 20-40 inches in diameter. It slowly moved across the landscape perpendicular to the ground, about 300-400 feet up from the ground. It was as though it was scanning the landscape, which has spectacular mountain scenery and forest. After watching it move across the landscape it suddenly vanished, as though it disappeared into another dimension. It never returned. I am a scientist, a fact-based person. This was definitely some sort of UFO or probe. The memory of it is very vivid.

I looked out my window toward the west and thought I was seeing small brush fires on the desert hills. I got my binoculars and realized these were orange glowing objects above the horizon. They did not move! But they did extinguish over time, but then re-appear! Typically there were two in a horizontal formation, maybe an inch apart from my vantage point. They seemed to be in the far distance, like over Maricopa, Arizona, 20 miles west of my location. The event lasted at least 30 minutes. The most notable thing was these objects never appeared to move. They were rock solid in their location in the low western shy, for as long as they were visible (5 to 10 minutes?). As a former Radar tech in the USAF I tried to imagine some sort of tech this could be, but nothing comes to mind. I had plenty of time to get my camera. Set it on manual and was able to get photos..

I was driving back from work on a pretty inactive highway. I was texting my girlfriend and I would occasionally look around at the sky then all of a sudden, I looked to my left side and saw 3 lights connected to each other of fairly big size, just sitting still in the sky. I looked at it and said "what is that?" 2 to 3 seconds later, it completely vanished as I was still looking where it was.

At approximately 9:00PM, I was in my backyard attending to my BBQ. From the corner of my eye I saw a extremely bright flash that lit up the entire neighborhood. I looked and thought for a second someone had shot off those massive fireworks. Two extremely bright red glowing balls of light were now sitting in its place, silent. As I pulled my phone from my pocket to get a video they started to move together eastbound. They remained extremely bright red, almost like a hot air balloon. They move together in tandem at approximately 80 knots at an altitude of 3,000msl. No position light or anti collision lighting was observed. As they moved east the one at the rear disappeared completely. The one in the leading position continued until it flashed a number of times then disappeared. The video does not do justice, these objects were incredibly bright casting a red hue over the ground as they moved. I am a professional pilot and know just about everything fixed wing and rotor craft display at night. These were completely silent.
