Gold Canyon, AZ
We saw two small orange lights moving towards the eastern horizon, one diminished and then the other one diminished - appeared to be satellites going away from the sun; however, they were very orange. I remarked to my sister that the lights were probably satellites but it was strange that they were so orange. About that time another very bright orange light appeared just to the right of where the first lights disappeared. It was approximately twice as bright as Jupiter (which was visible in the western sky). It did not move or blink, but it quickly disappeared. I retrieved a pair of Vortex Kiabab HD 18x56 binoculars that have excellent light gathering capabilities and scanned the sky to see if there was any movement or blinking lights from a possible aircraft but there was nothing. Moments later the very bright orange light reappeared in a similar place (but not exact) and was again solid and stationary and blanked out after about 10 seconds. It reappeared in a similar fashion one more time. We continued to watch the sky for several more minutes. Several civilian aircraft flew overhead and they could be heard and were visibally very obviously different from the orange lights. I have a neighbor who has described similar orange objects in the area before.

Driving home saw a Green light jetting across the sky, then it just disappeared into a white “portal”. It was going so fast, and it seemed like it disappeared like when ships go into “Hyperspace” in Star wars. It happened Eastbound on the US-60 around 6:52pm. It looked like a green exhaust trail. There we’re tons of people on the road. I cant be the only one to have seen it.

Lights started with 2. When videoing with my Apple 11 cell phone, the video immediately shows them power up? Then the one on the bottom left dissolved and there was only one. Then at about 38 seconds it seemed to power up again. Towards the end at about 53 seconds the light/sphere took a very sharp/fast downward turn. I ran into house to get my landlord and within 2 minutes it was not there when we came back outside. Other video shows a little bit of color change from very light pale green to pink to yellow to white again..

Phoenix, AZ
On Saturday, Feb. 11th at 11:50am, my plane was coming down over Phoenix, AZ from Las Vegas. As I was taking pictures out of the window of the plane, something oddly bright white in the distance caught my attention. I immediately zoomed in to see if this was a really white cloud or an airplane or something that I understood. I was only able to zoom in to a specific distance or the object completely blurred from view. I could see that it had edges. It appeared to have something that could be string-like pulling behind it. There are two pictures where there is something behind this object in a shadow. However, in one picture, the shadowy figure is to the bottom left of the white object. In the other picture, the shadowy figure is located at the bottom right of the white object. My photo shows our location as 33.441, -112.083

South East of Quartzite, AZ, AZ
It was afternoon, it was sunny with no clouds. I was on the south edge of town facing east. To the southeast I saw a dark object moving across the blue sky. I thought it was a kite from a nearby campsite but it was slowly moving at a steady space towards the east. There was a slight haze, it never really seemed to be in focus. I watched it for around 5 minutes until it disappeared behind a mountain. I would guess the mountain to be around 10 miles from my position. The UFO was big but far away. I looked at it thru my binoculars, it appeared to be cigar shaped and black. I've never seen anything like this before, I've spent lots of time outdoors.

I just entered on the I-17 freeway coming off of the 101 freeway and I was traveling southbound. I noticed up in the southwest sky an extremely bright circular object that was bright white in the center and had a reddish/orangish outer ring around it. The outer ring looked like it was on fire and or pulsating and not as clearly defined as the white inner circle. It was very large in comparison to the airplanes in the further background. I grabbed my phone and looked down for a second to click on the camera to record it, and when I looked up to recorded it, it was gone. Totally disappeared and was no where in the sky to be found. I have always been interested in what is beyond the stars, so if there is any other information from someone else reporting this object, I would like to hear about it as well. Thank you for listening.

Tucson, AZ
I work at an elementary school. My main job is teacher, but twice a week I am given other duties like watching the play ground in the morning. I first saw a sphere shaped object sitting in the sky completely still in October. The sun is bright in Arizona, and unlike all the students on the playground I have some hiking sunglasses. I would catch a flash like sunlight reflecting off a metallic surface. Then I would observe the sphere which seemed to vanish as soon as I noticed it. I want to add something about myself. I have always been able to detect when I am being watched. No matter the distance or situation. My fiancée says it’s my Native American DNA at work, but while on the playground I always would have the overwhelming feeling of being watched. Perhaps this is the reason only I seem to notice the sphere. I never mentioned this to any co-workers. It seems the sphere would always appear at the same time in the same location. I had playground duty Tuesday and Thursday. Sometimes I saw it on Tuesday and sometimes on Thursday. Never on both days in one week. Taking a photo or video was extremely problematic. The sphere seemed to almost react to me raising cell phone at it by vanishing. The new school year is starting and I will be on the playground again on Tuesday. Perhaps I will get a better image of the thing.

Lake Havasu City, AZ
Been seeing these on clear nights. It appears to be the same characteristics. They are stationary for an hour and then move to another location almost instantly. I'm using 22x power binoculars. Full light spectrum emitting from objects. close up reveals a circle or haze surrounding the objects with smaller objects dashing around the main body in random patterns. I did not take photos or video because I already have some from earlier in the month. The photos are from objects that remained stationary over an hour before moving locations. I will attach those as they are the same object that I saw this morning before light. These photos were taken with a Samsung A13 on 50 MP setting. I would guess they were at least 10 to 15 miles away.

I was walking with my wife and dog around the lake by our house. I said to my wife “wait I want to get a photo of the sun and reflection on the lake. I took a photo. I looked at the photo and noticed a round object in the photo Bo looked up to the sky and nothing was there. I took another photo and the object again was in the photo. I looked up again in the sky and could see nothing. Took another photo and again the circular object was in the photo. Possible lens flare.

Kirkland, AZ
Seated at our campfire facing the western sky, suddenly a ring of light appeared only a few hundred feet in the night sky and only ~1/2-mile away. The white-orange ring of light flickered and moved left to the right, and then a second, and then a third ring of light appeared all simultaneously. A few minutes passed, then the sequence repeated, with first one, then three rings of light which seemed to hover for a moment, then disappeared and reappeared a short time later, just a short distance to the right of its original source. NUFORC: Video appears to be flares

Oro Valley, AZ
While driving north bound on La Cholla Blvd. in Oro Valley, AZ I noticed a bright light in the sky ahead of me moving slowly. Suddenly, a smaller and more dimly lit object came from the Southwest towards the brightly lit object. At first, I thought it was a fast-moving jet on an intercept course with the bright object, which I eventually recognized as a plane or helicopter, but the dimly lit object (UFO) passed by the first object and kept moving to the north at an extremely high rate of speed. The UFO was traveling so fast that it literally went from somewhere over my head to the horizon in a matter of about 10 seconds. As the UFO approached the horizon to the north, it arced towards the northeast and disappeared over the horizon. I was in the process of taking a picture of the brightly lit plane or helicopter when the UFO appeared. I took a picture, but only the lights of the two objects can be seen with no detail other than the amount of light they were emitting.

My wife saw a large blurry star. I went outside to see it and went back inside to get my very good binoculars. Less then a 1/4 mile away. Object looked saucer shaped with lights around middle, no sound , no running light, moving east. Clearly one object with dozens of small lights on outside and changing shape. Spider shape, then oval shape, then blob shape. Object remaining the same size moving east till out of view 30 minuets later.

Chandler, AZ
My friend and I saw what looked like a bright white star moving unnaturally quickly across a clear night sky at ~8:15 pm in Chandler AZ. The object was first seen directly above us, then traveled over the horizon in less than 10 seconds. The object did not dim or burn out like a meteor but was persistently a bright white light. The object left no trail and made no sound. The object was moving too quickly to be a man-made satellite.

Chino Valley, AZ
The light was seen on two different mornings about the same time. 30 degrees above north west horizon. Very large light. Definitely not an aircraft. Light did not change position. Remained stationary for over 15 minutes. On the second sighting the light was in the same place. Suddenly turned green for 30 seconds and became red again. I am a commercial pilot/flight instructor and an engineer. This was NOT an airplane or helicopter. There are no towers in the hills in that location.

Yuma, AZ
January 3, 2023, 4 pm I was driving from the city of Yuma towards Phoenix. To my left, above the mountain, I saw a glowing ball. He hung over the mountain motionless. I stopped and saw the second ball, which was smaller and was further towards Yuma. I took some photos of the big ball and also a screenshot of the map where I was standing. I watched the balls for 15 minutes. Then a large ball rose to the clouds. Photos of a large ball have information about the time and place where they were taken.

TUCSON, AZ
All across the sky (through a large break in cloud cover) my spouse and I saw approximately 40 white lights that one might have taken for stars except they were moving relatively slowly in all directions, and appeared to be in numerous different altitudes. They were there for at least thirty minutes, though many seem to have moved out of sight by the end- cloud cover made them disappear. I cannot imagine so many commercial aircraft would be over Tucson.

I was out in my backyard when I noticed a bright red light that was changing from white to red. I watched it for about 30 seconds and the light zoomed off to the north.
