Mesa, AZ
While attending a LDS/Mormon Easter Pageant last Friday evening at the Mesa Temple in Mesa, AZ... approximately 20mins after 8pm, while there was a break in the play. Just for a second in relaxing while I was looking up to the stars, noticing a half-faced moon (facing south-west) I noticed during the event/show there were airplane learjets flying from south to north-western pattern which would fly directly over my head say every 50 secs. This was a bother at times when I'm trying to enjoy the show as these jets were only a few hundred feet above me. So as I looked up one time I noticed a triangular shaped craft as I took aim with my eyes for a closer examination. I noticed there was at least 2 circular shapes within this triangle... it was not lit up internally but the shape of this was illuminated from the street lights (Main street which was to my right) and the surrounding lights. This shape was say 40 to 50 feet above me it seemed like and was taking a! northern flight path. It seemed to be the speed of like a quad-copter or drone which my first thought was that someone probably is currently flying a drone because it would make a great camera/video of the event that night but after I was examining this object as it hovered slowly at the same altitude there were several brief moments in the play/show where there were no sounds so I had a good listen to the surrounding area while it was flying overhead and I noticed no sound coming from this craft. After further thought I ruled out it was any quad copter/drone because something that size would be quite loud enough for me and others to hear it's props/engine. I was asked by my family later when I told them what I saw why I didn't catch their attention when I saw it first but this whole experience took maybe 20-25 secs was all so I was recording this experience and taking in all of my senses in to determine what it was exactly. Besides, if I would have told them about it and to look up, etc... I would have missed more of the details! of what I saw. In another detail of this craft I was prompted to remember the framing of this triangle/object I saw as it had thick bars outlining this triangle... almost thinking it was from an Erector set, haha, but again I saw no evidence of it being owned by people or could be bought in any Hobby store... as there were no sounds coming from it when all around me was quiet for a few seconds. I following watching this object and even cupping my forehead and face to block other lights around me and it flew a northern path until I couldn't see it anymore as it flew into the darkness. So it either flew at a higher altitude or flew away so far that the current surrounding lights that I was seeing it could not lite it up anymore. This experience prompted me to submit this post as I couldn't find any other UFO sighting/records around the area/valley with this same experience and description. Thank you for your attention.

It looked like one big object put at second glance it was about eight together to form a bomesrag shape with the right side being a little shorter. Mane the size of a small 727 plain. It mad no noise and was moving fast faster then a helicopter. It was transparent with a light glow in the dark look like a kid's ball. Not sure what it was but never seen anything like it before wondering if anyone else might have had a chance to see it?

Scottsdale, AZ
North Scottsdale, Arizona. My wife and I had been observing the night sky and noticed something strange. The object was flying from South to North. We observed the object for about 20 seconds as we watched from the central courtyard of our house; the house prevented us from viewing any longer. I’ve seen the international space station fly over before and this was most definitely not the same viewing experience. This object seemed to be in the normal flight path, however, no visible navigation lights and the object was dimly lit, almost bluish. It was cauliflower shaped and seemed to be tumbling end over end. Approximate altitude was 10-12,000 feet. My wife and I have over 60 years of combined (military and civilian) aviation experience and have not seen anything like this before.

Superior, AZ
Date: March 11, 2016. Time: 1930 Mountain Time. Place: Superior, Arizona. Witness: 2 Adult residents of this town. While traveling home from Apache Leap Days in Superior, heading west on Sunset Drive, noticed lights approximately 45 degrees above the horizon, in the western sky. First appeared as 7 lights in a V-shape over the course of 5 minutes. Then they slowly changed into an "M" shape, the same lights that were a "V" formed the "M" shape, as watched carefully by the witnesses. The witnesses decided to travel west on Hwy 60 out of Superior, instead of heading South to home. Went up and over Gonzales Pass, 15 miles west of Superior. Pulled over at Florence Junction and took still pictures and video. This portion of the sighting lasted 10 minutes at Florence Junction. Witness stated that lights did not "go out", just drifted toward the western horizon out of sight. Witness is in possession of the unaltered cell phone still pictures and video.

There were four very bright lights that lit up. Then I saw lights come on forming a half circle. I was on the 93 highway and cars were parked on the shoulder with people looking up. Someone had to have seen the same thing. I have never seen anything like that in my life.

Clarkdale, AZ
I was driving East on 89-A at approximately 9:10 PM MST, when a bright green tubular object appeared at about 30 degrees above the horizon just off to the left of me. It arced up to about 45 degrees, moving in a southerly direction, and then back down and disappeared at about 30 degrees.

Phoenix, AZ
On March 2, 2016, at 8:00pm, I was driving on Interstate 10 heading West. At approximately 54th Ave., I noticed some 4 small red lights and 4 green lights on what I thought was one object in the sky. The lights were approximately 75-200 feet above the freeway. As I got closer I noticed that is was actually 4 objects, each object had one red light and one green light on the bottom. They appeared to be hovering very close together, making it seem to be one object. As I drove directly below them I could not see the shape of them, just the lights. I continued to look at the objects in my rear view mirror, all at once they took off very fast heading North and then they were gone.

Scottsdale/Northwest Mesa, AZ
I was driving south on 101 Scottsdale toward Chandler. Just before the Raintree exit, 5 light all in a row, travel from west of Scottsdale towards the east over the freeway (toward Fountain Hills). They are evenly spaced without blinking lights, just white/pale yellow in color. The lights move in a unified direction headed south very slowly, over Talking Stick resort area. At moments they are still as if they are "hovering" in the sky. I could see a helicopter around the lights and could tell the difference. The helicopter had blinking red and blue lights were as the other lights did not. The lights move south toward North Mesa, where I called a friend and he was at Gilbert Road and University. He stated he could see lights hovering above him, but since he was looking up, he only saw 3 not 5. He also stated that there wasn't any blinking lights like a helicopter.

The object was in a triangle light formation with an additional light on the side. The formation did not move for the duration I observed. There were four bright circular lights, and they were relatively close together. I first noticed the lights after exiting the 101 and going down Frank Lloyd Wright. My mom pulled over into a residential area to take pictures. I've been watching the skies, and keeping track of anything out of the ordinary. Last year on March 4, 2015, a single light was hovering in the same spot for 45 minutes. I am unsure about the correlation between this incident and the previous one from last year, but I couldn't disregard the possible connection due to the fact that it was around the same date and time.

Glendale, AZ
A large object with a flashing light in middle with 2 lights on the sides. Flying lower to the ground than a typical aircraft or helicopter. The distance between the lights would indicate a large size craft. We listened for engine noise and heard none. It appeared and moved in a fast side to side motion, and turned. It then disappeared, but there were no clouds or buildings.

Parker, AZ
Back in January or February you told George Noory on Coast about the sighting of the two orange lights with one white light in the middle that took off from the ground out by Wellton, AZ. I saw the same thing two orange lights with one white light in the middle along with the white Parker lights while I was camping east of town off of Shea Road. But instead of taking off from the ground these lights were up in the sky and to the left of the common white lights. I asked around but no one in town knows what those lights are and I looked on the internet but only found one article. One lady that works at the Indian gas station told me that she has seen them since she was a little girl and she is 21 now.

Chandler, AZ
On our way to dinner in Chandler this evening, our son saw a red, kind of orange-ish flickering light in the sky & it wasn't making any sounds but just flickering as if it was on fire but then it started moving!!! Thought it was a helicopter or plane but showed no other signs to being one except by the semi-triangular shape & then all of a sudden it disappeared!!! I believe we saw a U.F.O. & with it so close to our famous anniversary of "Phoenix Lights", I wouldn't doubt it!! After we got out of dinner a half hour later we saw three helicopters heading to the area of our sighting. Nothing in the sky anymore at that time.

Phoenix, AZ
Around 0100 on 02/29/16, I observed a bright object in the night sky over north Phoenix that remained in a stationary orbit for about two hours. At first, I viewed the object with binoculars and noticed that there appeared to be three glowing lights side by side with the light in the middle glowing brighter. I noticed that the object would move very slowing but remained in the same area for a long time. I then viewed the object with a telescope and was astonished to see a perfectly round object very large in size and appeared to pulsating an orange glow around it. I viewed the object with a telescope for a while before it very slowly moved off to the east part of the valley.

The craft was in a triangle type formation from my perspective, heading southwest with the helicopter tailing at the exact same speed.

Palm Springs, AZ
My wife and I were visiting J. W. Marriott resort in Palm Springs California. After we had lunch, we strolled around the outside area just east of the lake they had. My wife posed for a few pictures and I shot five pictures of the resort with the mountains in the distance. After I finished taking pictures, I looked at the ones just taken. About 1:11pm, according to the built in timer on the photos. Much to my surprise, one of the pictures had an image I immediately showed my wife. I asked her, what do you think this is at the top upper portion in the sky? Both my wife and I cannot explain it. There was no reflection we could ascertain that would have made this appear in the picture. The short time only seemingly caught on the picture. If this was real, I cannot explain it. I can forward you the picture if you respond to me.

Chandler, AZ
In the early morning, at about 9:05am, bright clear day. A slightly diagonal streak of light that looked silvery, like a reflection on a single strand of spider web. The light moved from top to bottom, like a reflection. Only one other person walking by saw the exact same thing. Nothing other after that.

As we were driving east down cactus off to the left we saw a set of four lights moving fast. Too close for planes or helicopters. They moved in formation and made a sharp turn and headed east. We tried to take pictures but they were blurred out by the street lights.

I grabbed my friend because I thought a big, passenger plane may have been crashing. Then it just was gone. We both saw it. Neither of us can truly explain it. Source provides not information about sighting. PD
