Phoenix, AZ
On Thursday June 15, 2017, the night was clear, so I decided to lay down on a pool recliner in the middle of my house backyard in South Phoenix, by 67th Ave and Lower Buckeye Rd, to watch the sky; I had my Barska 20x80 Binoculars by my side. The night was uneventful, and after 30 minutes of not seeing anything out of the ordinary, I was ready to get inside the house, and it happened, high up there, at 80° travelling slowly North-NorthEast; it must have been in outer space, I noticed the spaceship because the bottom lights turned on and flickered for 3 to 5 seconds (the lights were like beams forming a V shape with a smaller v in the center, making the lights four beams), and then they went off; since I believe the object was in outer space, it must have been huge in size; I got my binoculars immediately, and looked for the object in the direction it but travelling I wasn't able to locate it anymore... I got so excited and shortly went inside the house to tell ! my wife... This was the once in a lifetime sighting; Over time, I've witnessed other sightings, in the form of silver disc shape objects and silver orbs, but nothing like this... This is a motivation to keep watching the skies. :)

Paulden, AZ
Last night, on Thursday Night, at approximately 9:55 pm, until 10:05 pm, 6/15/17, my Wife and I took our Dog out before calling it a night. I also contacted my parents who live about 4 miles East of me and they also saw the lights. I called my neighbor that was with me last week and he also saw them this time as well. We noticed some strange lights to the South South East of our area fairly low in the horizon. At first we noticed Eight white lights moving slowly up and down separately from each other and within about 1 minute the number had increased to Ten. This lasted about 10 minutes. The lights looked to all be individual and moved slowly in an up and down pattern as well in opposite directions. They also got brighter and dimmer as the event was happening. The lights appeared to be about 20 to 25 miles in the distance and looked to be over the Prescott Valley to Dewey cities from our position in Paulden. This was very similar to my report from last week exce! pt the lights appeared to be getting bright to dim much faster. At approximately 10:05 the lights started to fade and headed in a Southerly direction and slowly vanished from our view. I did take a couple of photos with my cell phone camera and I will try to forward with the report. I am a bit more skeptical about whether or not this could have been some sort of a military operation since it was so similar to what I saw last week? Although the white lights had no sign of navigational green or red lights that one would expect of aircraft.

I was shocked, keeping my eyes on it I was trying to get off the freeway to get a better look to see if it was moving. As I looked to change lanes, when I looked again, it was gone!!! ANYONE ELSE SEE THIS?

My husband looked up into the sky as we walked our dogs. He then noticed two large UFO's over or heads. They had no sound and they were in a circle shape. The were low flying and flying super fast. About 3 times faster than any plane. When we saw them, he said, "Look!" I looked up and saw them over our heads. They were headed North.

Fortuna, AZ
I'm not sure how this fits in but the experience has stayed with me; and I had to post something. I am a long haul driver and was travelling east on Interstate 8, just east of Fortuna, Arizona. Having checked the clock, it was 3:45 AM when I alerted my partner to the presence of three or four individuals standing in the middle of the traffic lane. After sounding the truck horn, I began to slow our rig. Given the fact that the area is well known for human smuggling and is dangerous to travel, I wondered if, perhaps, we should keep going. But, when it became apparent that at least three of the individuals were wearing some kind of uniform, I decided to stop along the right shoulder. Nevertheless, my second driver emerged from the sleeper with the shotgun that we carry. Both of us agreed that neither of us was going to step from the cab, and we kept the engine idling. Three individuals walked slowly toward me, toward the driver's side of the cab. At about fifteen feet, I could tell that all three of them were suited, if you will, in some sort of gear. I wondered if the Marines, from the nearby Marine Corps air station, had crashed and were going to ask us for help. As I lowered the driver's window, the shortest of the three, bundled in heavy white gear, with what looked like white armor around the chest, and a partial faceplate that emerged from below the chin, said to me, in perfect English, "Not to worry, we have a minor situation." He (it) motioned with his left arm toward the distance, off the highway. It was strange because neither my partner nor I saw anything as we approached the group but, sure enough, something was putting out intense red flames, maybe fifty feet off the right shoulder from where we were parked. Before I could say anything, a triangle-shaped wedge of the landscape to our right, with the flames at the base of the triangle, rose up and sliced through the truck cab. For lack of a better description, I felt like I was looking at some kind of image--as it came through the cab. I mean, the individual who spoke to me appeared first on the left side near me, and then appeared on the right side, the raised side, then on both sides, which appeared raised. My throat was so dry, my stomach in knots; honestly, I felt like I was going to heave. I figured we had it. Three individuals, two in white, wearing helmets, and one who appeared burned or blackened and without a helmet, appeared in the image to our right, as they made their way around chunks of rock, walking towards our cab. There was a lot of communication, like radio, between them, or between somebody. The one who had spoken to me, after I had lowered the window, now sounded metallic. So I turned once again towards the voice, to my left again, toward the open window and he (or it) wasn't there. I turned toward my partner, in the right front seat, who was still cradling the shotgun, nothing. I mean, it was black. It was perfectly silent. There were no flames off to the right in the distance. Our clock showed 5:15 AM, only the entire encounter felt like it had lasted fifteen minutes or so. I don't know what to claim. I stopped to assist several entities that appeared to be projected from somewhere; and I still feel nauseous. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

6-10 small "airplanes," flying from the south from Phoenix all in a straight line, hovered, then suddenly dispersed in all directions. Prescott Airport workers report, "Work at the airport and there were no special air operations scheduled for tonight." Others report, "When I first saw them, they looked like a stacked configuration seemed to take forever to get near, then they were more strung out some sort of night maneuvers I suppose, guess it was not an invasion I saw eight, maybe 10". Others reported, "They were all hovering over a field across from my house. They we're together the whole way then after a few min they all separated going different ways. We counted 17 total." and "It looked like they came from a field, flew around a little, and hovered over it, then left going different directions." Multiple reports with multiple photos having been taken. I have at least two.

Welton, AZ
While merging back on the westbound I-8 from the Ligurta Truck Parking area, just west of Welton, AZ, between 9:30 and 10:00pm, Thursday, 6/8/17, I noticed a V-shaped cluster of yellow lights in the southern sky toward Mexico. After a few seconds, they disappeared all at once with a slight decay. It looked like someone had turned off distant, but powerful, lights, and it took a second for the filament to fully dim. Could also have been them disappearing behind distant clouds. It was confusing and I thought maybe I had witnessed some sort of reflection onto my drivers side car window that went away as I drove. I continuously looked into the southern sky, but never saw it again. About 20 minutes later, between Yuma, AZ and El Centro, CA, I noticed a pilot in a small propeller aircraft doing aggressive maneuvers in the night sky, intermittently turning on and off 2 lights on the ends of each wing of his plane. Perhaps he was doing night time crop dusting. I also later heard there was fire in the area so could have been dropping flame retardant as well. As this is an agricultural area, I assumed I has seen lights on the wings of crop dusting plane or planes. But now not so sure after reading the other reports from further north at the same time.

Last night, on Thursday night, at approximately 9:45 pm until 10:00 pm, 6/8/17, my neighbor and I were sitting on my front porch, enjoying the clear cool evening. We noticed some strange lights to the South South East of our area fairly low in the horizon. At first we noticed four white lights moving slowly up and down separately from each other and within about 2 minutes the number had increased to seven. This lasted about 15 minutes. The lights looked to all be individual and moved slowly in an up and down pattern as well in opposite directions. They also got brighter and dimmer, as the event was happening. The lights appeared to be about 20 to 25 miles in the distance, and looked to be over the Prescott Valley to Dewey cities, from our position in Paulden. After about 15 minutes the lights started moving in a southwesterly direction, and slowly vanished from our view. I did take a couple of photos with my cell phone camera and I will try to forward with the report. I would like to know if anyone else had seen these as well? This appeared to be a similar situation from what I have heard and seen of the Phoenix lights years back.

I was operating a sound system (mics and speakers) for the groundbreaking of a new Valley Metro light rail station at 50th St. and Washington in Phoenix, serving the Ability 360 Center. This location is almost exactly one mile from the eastern end of the north runway at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, runway 26. The event was taking place on the roof of the three story facility. There is a shade structure running along the north and west portions of the roof. A 20'x20' canopy had been erected to provide shade for the guests. My position was near the northeast corner of the roof where I had a small audio mixing board set up. At that time aircraft were departing Sky Harbor to the east, from the north runway, passing less than a half-mile from my position. The event had begun at 8am with the Phoenix Mayor discussing details of the project. At 8:20am, I noticed an object come into my field of view from the north, just above the Mayor's position at the podium, at a bearing of about 310 degrees. It was elongated in the horizontal direction, reflective or very light in color. I could not judge distance, but felt that it might be about a mile away, based on having witnessed countless aircraft approaching Sky Harbor. I appeared to be similar in size to a small FedEx single engine turboprop aircraft which utilize Sky Harbor. Its altitude was lower than that of an aircraft crossing over, so I immediately assumed it was making an approach, but it should have been much further west if that were the case. I could not detect any vertical structure such as a tail, the reflective brilliance made it difficult to make out details. It continued south for a short distance then suddenly either came to a complete stop or made an immediate “jog” toward the west. At this point the idea of “drone” popped into my mind, but the apparent distance to the object made it questionable if a drone would be that visible. The other reason to reject the drone theory was the proximity to Sky Harbor. The object then continued making a fairly rapid arc toward the southeast, again with an immediate acceleration which seemed very “drone like.” I lost sight of it behind the canopy until it emerged southwest of my position. It appeared to be following the departure path of runway 25, the center runway, toward the east, but more rapidly than a traditional aircraft. I continued to observe it for another 10 seconds until it moved behind a large structure on the roof. I moved to the other side of the structure but I did not see the object again. I could not detect any noise from the object, at least nothing which I could hear above the traffic on Washington Street and the PA system I was operating. The movement was unlike normal aircraft in the sudden acceleration and deceleration. The object's altitude seemed constant. Based on the flight path I observed I would dismiss any thought of it being an actual drone. My immediate reaction was thinking “how bold” to venture into the departure path of Sky Harbor in broad daylight. I have almost 40 years of working in close proximity to Sky Harbor Airport and am very familiar with aircraft and aircraft operations. This object did not operate by normal flight standards.

As I was walking East through the parking lot, I happened to glance up amd noticed an odd formation of red lights. I assumed it was an airplane, however, it did not move. After approximately 10 seconds, the lights blinked a number of times and then continued to remain on. This back and forth blinking continued for about 90 seconds, after which the lights disappeared completely.

My wife took video of a UFO this evening. Several lights on a single object hovering in place, then disappearing at a very high speed. She got out of her car to take the video. Said there was no sound coming from the object, like all Earthly machines make and she said she could tell it was a large round object. This is what many other people have also described in their sightings in the past of ufo's. For some reason, witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

some time between 9 and 9:40 pm on may 30th on the interstate 8 coming home from California.. I was watching the sky for falling stars and first spotted and watched a sattelite cruising by. Then a flashing light caught my eye, as i watched it i saw others sort of following it, but if so they were in an exact formation of distance from one another. There were 4 at first.. And as i moved further east and away from lights they appeared to have a curvature. As those lights moved north/northwest 2 more flashing lights appeared below and after the first 4 however overlapping below the 4. i watched until lights were too far behind me to see any longer due to headlights in my vision behind us.. The lights were white in color and much larger then stars in the sky they flashed at a set pace and individually. I assume it was some sort of air force manuever, as i have not heard of anyone else seeing these lights at this time. We have changed the time above. PD

As my daughter and I forgot went out of the back door of our home to bring our dog inside, we saw a bright light directly over our area. We proceeded into debating about if it was a plane waiting to land at Sky Harbor, but it fooled us different. As we watched from our yard, the lights on the object turned orange, then brown, and back white. Shortly after the light changes, the object shot up in an upward motion incredibly fast and disappeared.

El Mirage, AZ
Saw 12-16 lights following in a crude line across the sky at dusk. They looked like stars but it was still a little early and light out to see stars. They meandered slowly and oddly and gave off constant light so we knew it wasn't aircraft from Luke air force base. They moved like nothing I've ever seen. They headed east towards a bright star or close planet perhaps -east by north east- before they disappeared out of view. It lasted about 10 minutes from when I first noticed them.

It was shortly after sundown that my GF and I were sitting on my back patio, relaxing after dinner. As I have a habit of doing, I looked up at the sky (I enjoy sky watching) and noticed several objects to the north east that were moving. At first I thought there was a plane and the other objects were stars. After watching for several minutes I noticed there was a larger BRIGHT object and 5 smaller objects and the smaller ones were moving rather erratically. I mentioned it to my GF who also confirmed that she saw it. While she was watching I went inside and brought out my binoculars to get a closer look. They were very high in the sky. At this point, 2 of the 5 smaller craft had left the area, but 3 of the smaller ones were still there. The larger bright object had left also. Once we had the binoculars, we could see that the 3 smaller objects that were moving in what resembled figure 8 patterns but still very erratic, were circular. There was a pulsing red light in the center and a white light that ran around the outside in a clockwise motion. This continued for at least 2 hours (from 8pm to 10pm), and we went to bed, while this was still going on. These craft did not return the following or subsequent evenings. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Globe, AZ
I have a rather lousy picture (cell phone). I was observing the night sky at my cabin on El Capitan pass south of Globe AZ. The object (light) suddenly appeared and appeared to 'hover'. The object was pretty far away (possibly over San Carlos, AZ) and at a high altitude (40K ft? approximately the same altitude as jet traffic). What made it unusual is that the light suddenly appeared and it wandered slightly (was not in a fixed position in the sky). Occasionally, it would move slightly at seemingly high speeds as if to correct position or as it was having difficulty with a stable hovering position. It is not unusual for the military to perform exercises over this area. I do not wish to be contacted, just reporting what I saw.

I had gone out back for some fresh air and happened to look up. The corner of the solar panel was blocking the sun and I saw multiple orbs glowing in the sky. They seemed to fly in all directions and in no set pattern. I was able to shot 15 photos and a short video of the objects. It was a cloudless day, no breeze to speak either. I will leave it to you dear reader (viewer) to determine exactly what they where.

I was standing outside with my wife when we witnessed several red lights traveling from North to South while appearing to shoot out a trail ahead. This happened 4 times before the objects disappeared. There was no sound or smell with these. Each of these appeared equidistant apart.
