Phoenix, AZ
We noticed a large bright light which, seemed low to the ground coming from the N.W. Phoenix area towards 39th Lane and Camelback Avenue. As it got closer it became clear that it was an aircraft. It had 4 normal colored lights on the front of the object, facing outward & not too bright or too dim. On the top of the aircraft were two attached but, different lights. (On the left: a red slower flashing light & on the right: a faster blinking bluish light). The aircraft was triangular in shape & the only way I can actually describe it as I witnessed it, is: Push all of your fingers outward on your left or right hand, (as far as you can), and imagine it filled in by a darker beige color, with the front lights in between each finger. The Aircraft passed over us at 39th Lane & Camelback and landed just passed 39th Avenue & Indian School Rd. Therei s absolutely NO Where to land an aircraft of that size, over there.

At approx. 17:03 hrs., while standing outdoors, facing the west, I saw what appeared to be a clear balloon rising up into the sky, although when considering the shape of Earth, it may have simply approaching at a steady elevation and appeared to be rising, as the sun does. The object was small from my vantage point and I will compare size by Ie: How an air plane would seem so small from 60-80 miles away in the evening when its flood lights are on. You would see what appears as a tiny ball of light. This object traveled from the west and to the east at a high rate of speed, much greater than anything I've seen before. If I were to stand with my face to the south, point my finger of my right hand to the approximate area where it first appeared, and point the finger of my left hand to where I lost sight of it, my hands would be at approximatelt, 2:50 PM if I were a clock. I first thought it to be WT1190F (The debris from the Apollo program, which was estimated to fall out on Friday, November 13, about noon Eastern time, over Sri Lanka, though no documented evidence of it having come down is found. I am going to assume this was some strange atmospheric phenomenon such as St Elmo's Fire or Lightning out of the clear blue sky. I do not believe in space ships and aliens. Thank you! God bless.

Safford, AZ
I was driving East on I-10 with my husband in the passenger seat shortly after seeing the exit sign for Safford, AZ. Orb lights caught my eye in the sky outside my driver-side window. I saw 4 large orb shaped bright lights, and within a few seconds there were only three, and my first thought was it was a low flying plane that had turned and obscured one of the lights. Within seconds the fourth light reappeared and at that point realized I was looking at something quite unusual. I told my husband to look and he saw them for a brief second before they disappeared. Seconds later they reappeared and we watched them for a few moments before it repeated the pattern of four lights to three and then all simultaneously shut off. The orb lights seemed to move in unison, were very close but were not aligned. They were moving very slowly. My husband's description: they were very bright, very large, but not so high that they could not have been mistaken for a star or planet. He is a retired EE who worked for a top defense contractor. One of his projects included development of computer-assisted maintenance of military aircraft and he had top secret security clearance.

Tucson, AZ
A sequence of square lights appeared in the sky over central/west Tucson, AZ, at 8:50 pm Arizona time on 11/17/15. The lights were yellow/orange in color and lit up in square like configuration from right to left looking west from east. This took about 10-15 seconds and then they disappeared. They appeared again a few seconds later miles away to the south for about 5-10 seconds more and then disappeared again. Traveling much faster than aircraft seen in the same area of the sky. These square like lights were much bigger than any known aircraft we have. There were multiple square like lights at least 5-10 maybe more. Observed this for about 30 seconds and continued to observe the sky area for another 30 minutes. Did not see any more of these unusual lights. They were traveling from north to south.

Two orange or amber lights appeared and disappeared around 20:45, moving in a slow snake-like motion. Then 5 or more lights appeared one after another, lighting up in an upward direction, and formed a triangular shape. Then all of the lights disappeared quickly in unison and one more light appeared again, which I was able to catch on video. In total, up to 7 lights appeared but I was only able to capture one on a 1 minute and 15 second long video. In the video, you can see the dark, clear Tucson sky and crescent-shaped moon above the light. Stars were visible to our human eye around the moon, but were not bright enough to be caught in the video, and the stars were distinctly smaller and whiter in color than the orange lights we saw. The lights disappeared at 20:52 and further recordings showed no more lights in the same area as our first recording with the two lights. This sighting took place near a small airport, however we don't normally see planes or helicopters fly over the area that we saw these lights.

I turned left down a street facing south I saw two red objects in the sky. One about as bright as an aircraft light, the other was much brighter and got brighter still until it reached maximum luminosity over a period of about 30 seconds. Both objects remained motionless in the sky. They appeared to be less than 2,000 feet in the sky, but it could be lower if I am wrong about their distance away. They both vanished at the same time with no residual affects. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

At 19:00 I saw 2 very bright lights next to each other the 1 on the right was a little higher in the sky. They were about the size of an aspirin at arms length. Brighter than anything i've seen in the sky before. After 12 sec after I seen them the one on the right disappeared like somebody just shut off the switch 1 sec later the other one went out. There was no halo or streaks no tail no movement.

Started out looking like a plane headlight headed towards me in fog. As it got closer the fog grew into a massive ball shape, while the light got brighter. No other clouds were in the sky. Then the light disappeared and the fog dissipated leaving behind a glowing blue light in sky that lasted for 5 minutes or more. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Phoenix, AZ
On Saturday, 11/7/15, a friend of mine, sent me a text asking, "What the hell is going on in your area of town?" We live appx 40 miles from each other. He sent me the photos that I attached. I walked outside and saw the same light in the sky, a bit hazy, it was starting to fade, it had a greenish glow around it. I ran inside and yelled for my wife to get her camera and get outside. She has a pretty good camera for just us "regular" ppl. She snapped a few pictures, as she said it looked like there was little orbs coming off the side of this light. After a few minutes, the light faded and a green fog/haze stayed around for a few more minutes after. One of many photos submitted to NUFORC of the launch of an ICBM from a U. S. Navy submarine. PD

Chandler, AZ
Driving west bound down Elliot road at Arizona avenue around 19:45.. I saw a bright light similar in color and size to the moon (about 60-70% as large) maneuvering through the western sky with the what appeared to be three military helicopters with large bright lights on them surrounding in the sky in a triangle formation at a distance.. This went on for about two minutes until I lost sight due to heavy traffic.. Possibly the U. S. Navy missile launch. We have corrected the date. PD

Green Valley, AZ
Bright white light emerges on cloudless clear night like the moon breaking out of clouds. The light gets very bright and well defined like a bare clear spotlight bulb. Then the center bright definition turns into a gigantic glowing sphere of light filling a area in the sky that would fill the area of outstretched arms spread apart 6 inches outside of body. Huge. Then it stayed that way for 10 min and then slowly drifted away over another 10-15 min. This glowing sphere of light was very bright and well defined. There were no aircraft lights or movements. It was at an elevation of maybe 30 degrees off the horizon.. We have pictures but they don't show the clarity of the actual event. One of the witnesses is a retired NASA engineer. We are close to the border, and an airforce base. We see helicopters and jets all the time. This was not either. We also saw a faint beam of light going to the ground from the side of the sphere for awhile. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Hello. Native Tucsonan here. I just noticed to the West a sea foam green bright light with my husband & neighbors at just about 7:15pm-7:17pm over the CAP canal, next to Ryan’s Air Field, on Bopp Rd. in Tucson, Arizona. It was a light that seemed to come in towards us slowly, then it backed out as fast as it had appeared-finally fading to black (full night sky). The entire experience lasted about 15 minutes, as the glow remnant took this long to dissipate fully. At first we thought that we were witnessing an aircraft/drone (silent) headed directly towards us at about 25mph due to a bright whitish-green “spotlight” approaching us. The spotlight had a bright green line\in its center. It startled & frightened us. Then it reversed, heading backwards as fast as it had come in. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Bright white light over West Valley at approximately 7:12pm on Sat 11-7-15. The single light was surrounded by a very thick fog/smoke of sort almost bluish or light turquoise in color. Object remained for approximately 2 minutes before traveling West at high rate of speed and appeared to zigzag up and down while traveling before loosing sight. I did manage to collect a photo of what was seen... U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

wow!! traveling on US 60 westbound. I looked in to the western sky and saw a large plume of greenish smoke or exhaust coming for a small bluish green circular object. the object then blew a large green blue circle which lit up the sky. All traffic slowed on the freeway to see it. the object then disappeared from the sky. However, the plume of smoke or exhaust remained visible.
