Essentially it appeared out of nowhere near in the middle of the sky during the afternoon. It almost looked like a meteor intercepting the atmosphere. However, this object was traveling very fast. It traveled 1/3rd the distance from the horizon to horizon almost instantly. When I say instantly, I mean instantly. Point A to Point B in what seemed to be faster than a lightning bolt making contact with the ground. It was very bright. Almost pure white. My friend saw it too, however we were the only two to notice in the group. We were at a music festival so there was a large crowd. I am unsure if anyone else saw it other than us. We verified that it was not a camera flash because there were nobody with a camera in the direction we were looking.

Tucson, AZ
I was sitting in my house watching TV at 1:05am on Tuesday 10/20/15 in the outskirts of the SW Tucson, AZ area, when I heard a helicopter noise steadily growing even louder. As I am sitting next to the large picture window, I looked out between the blinds to see 2 small reddish-orange lights moving off to the west, followed by a helicopter with a red & green solid, non-blinking lights. As they were approaching from the city center area of Tucson, I was able to see a dark shape around the red & green lights, showing the shape of the helicopter, with the city glow directly behind it, but I saw no dark shape around either of the small red-orange lights that would determine the approximate size or shape of the craft it was attached to. Also, the distance between the 2 red-orange lights was slightly larger than the distance between the 2nd red-orange light and the helicopter lights and the 2 red-orange lights were offset, with the first one slightly more north than the 2nd one, but the helicopter lights were in a straight line directly behind the 2nd red-orange light. I distinctly heard one helicopter noise, not several. As the noise was louder than I can ever remember hearing at this location, as well as the fact that the green & red helicopter lights were large, I believe the helicopter was flying low in the sky as it went directly over my house. I do live near a small airfield called Ryan Airfield, which is 2 to 3 miles southwest of my location, so I am used to seeing small prop planes and small helicopters flying over this area, but never that low or loud. These lights were not going towards Ryan Airfield to the SW, but almost directly west, maybe slightly north of directly west. I, on occasion, have also seen military planes and helicopters flying over this area, as we do have both an Air Force base and Air National Guard base located in Tucson, but they never fly this low, and usually are in groups of 3 or more. With these helicopter groups, it almost sounds like an echo from multiple rotors, but I didn't hear that echo on this occasion. I wrote down the description of this occurrence immediately after it happened, so the details were fresh in my mind. On a separate note, in the 9 years I have lived in this house, maybe 8-10 times I have heard a loud sonic boom type noise that rattled my house to the extent that on a few of these occasions, I ran outside to see if a car had run into my house. I used to write these sonic boom noises to military aircraft, but as I have heard reports of these noises on Coast to Coast AM, I am not so sure of that hypothesis, especially since I have never witnessed an aircraft to accompany these loud banging noises. Most of these booms happened during daylight, as several woke me up since I work graveyard shift and sleep usually from sunrise to early afternoon.

As soon as I got off of the phone and turned my car towards the craft it started to move fairly slow away from me. It resembled a drone but was way too large to be one. About 6 white lights around craft and made no noise.

Gold Canyon, AZ
We witnessed two round objects in the sky that seemed to be doing manuvers with one another. Racing around each other in circles and changing colors. They were green and changed to blue. This went on for several minutes (approx. 10). They were going horizonal and vertical. I am a licensed Nurse and my mother is retired from that State.

Sedona, AZ
My wife and I were on vacation in Scottsdale, AZ, and traveled to Sedona for the day. We took many photos from our cell phones (16MB camera) when there. A few days ago we copied the photos to our computer, and on the larger screen were able to notice what looks to us like a saucer shaped UFO above the mountain in the attached photo. My wife took the photo. Not knowing what she had photographed, I took the same view / photo within a minute later with my camera phone (both Samsung S5's), mine is stamped 3:30 pm (local time) and the object cannot be seen. We are pretty certain there was not any debris on the camera lens, we’ve never had debris on any of our photos and have taken thousands. This is a recognizable mountain in the area, but I can’t tell you exactly where we were, or which way we were facing. I really wish I had Geo-tagging turned on when the photo was taken!

Anthem, AZ
I was driving home, approximately 19:45-19:50 hrs. I noticed an unusual light in the night sky. I pulled over and got out of the Jeep. It was a sphere, radish orange in color. What made me take notice was the pulsating effect it had. It was not moving fast, so at first I though that it was a drone. However, I own a drone and mine make a buzzing sound, like a hive of bees. This object was not making any noise whatsoever. It was traveling from the West to the East, slow and straight. I grabbed my iPhone and shot footage of it. I am not the best videographer, but you can clearly see that this is not an ordinary air craft. At the end of the sighting, I hit the stop button, and when I looked back up the object was gone. I did not see it leave, it just vanished.

Coworker and I spotted an object dark in color traveling southwest above us while we were outside on break. It was a clear blue day I looked up and saw this object and I asked him if he saw it too. He replied that he saw it and said it probably the Russians in a joking way. It traveled faster than normal civilian aircraft we see above altitude to me looked at least 10,000 feet. Granted we see all types of aircraft fly over our building due to us being in the flight path of aircraft taking off and landing at Phoenix sky harbor airport. There was no noise when it flew over. Tried to keep watching it but it flew out of sight due to building in the way. Couple minutes later I looked again and the object was now west of us and it made a tight turn and vanished. There was no reflection from the sun on this vehicle. I really don't know what this was. My coworker is a 20 year air force veteran with flight status who flew on the e-4b for a number of years. I am a air force brat who traveled on all sorts of aircraft civilian and military and was working on private pilot license. Hope this make sense. Thanks!

Apache Junction, AZ
My wife and I came outside to watch the space station go over. Afterword we stayed out to look at the stars and look for satellites. We saw three satellites. We were about to go back in the house when my wife said there's another one. We watched it for about five seconds. Then behind it and a little to the right a light appeared. It looked like another satellite. It caught up with the satellite and paralleled it for about two seconds. Then it took off and left it behind it was moving about twice as fast as the satellite. I watched it for about six or eight seconds until it started to fade out.Never saw anything move that fast.

On the east side of Tucson, AZ. Bright white light traveling from NE to SW stopped for approximately 5-6 seconds and reversed (without turning) back towards NE in the same exact path. Light was constant, no blinking or sound associated.

Phoenix, AZ
The first object, a bright light in the eastern morning sky (resembled a planet or star). A second object located northeast of first object is smaller, dimmer, and appears flat. The first object moved slow with slight variable speeds and directions, then it appeare to change shapes. On 3 separate occasions it appeared to spin around, I saw what I though were uneven edges. After the spin around, the object would split in half, separate for a moment and then return to fit perfectly togethere. I clearly saw this 3 times. The second object is getting smaller and eventually is not visible. At this time at least 4 large planes flew in from the east across the central phoenix area flying closely to the object which now resembles an orb, spraying chemtrails around the orbs area. I saw the orb fly above, below and through the chemtrail. Within 10 minutes I was not able to see the orb again. But, now we have 3 large XXX shaped chemtrails clearly marking the city. (I FEEL LIKE I NEED A GAS MASK)

Casa Grande, AZ
At 2;20 AM Arizona Time 30 September 2015 I was outside taking the trash to the curb. I looked up at the moon, which was directly overhead and as I turned I saw a group of blinking lights in the South-East. The lights were stationary and blinking red, green, and white. I took out my cell phone to check the compass direction and discovered that it was useless. I was looking at what I know to be Southeast and my compass inexplicably read West. I did, however, have a pair of opera glasses within easy reach so I went in to find them. Using the opera glasses I was able to make out a vertical string of blinking lights, in red green, and white. The string of lights hung in the sky like a string of multicolored pearls for over an hour. During all that time all I could do was watch.

I was sitting with my mother in the living room facing each other having a chat when all of the sudden our entire house lit up in the brightest blue-white light I had ever seen but it didn't hurt my light-sensitive eyes and my mother reported not squinting either. It was as though no shadows existed. I saw light outside the windows but it didnt behave normally. It disregarded the covered porch and came from all angles. My mother saw the same light behave the same way in the windows behind me. The light was there for about what seemed like 10-15 seconds and there was no sound. After it disappeared I asked my mother what the light was. She didn't know and was unsettled. I ran outside immediately. There were no airplanes or helecopters outside. It was a clear night. I checked the back and front yards seeing if I could find an explaination for the light like a popped fuse or flashlight or anything but had no explaination. The light hadn't moved it just was there then a short while later it wasn't. I checked the clock after searching and it said 22:25 so u guessed the light happened around 22:10 but did not know what time it was before the strange light that lit up our house so I don't know if we lost time. I tried searching the internet what natural phenomenon might explain this event but couldn't find anything. My mother and I were shaken and confused.

Bullhead City, AZ
On September 29th, around 7:50 p.m., I walked down our steps and looked up to the sky, as I am an avid sky watcher. I quickly noticed what appeared to be a very bright star at 140 degrees S.E. and 60 degrees off the horizon. I know a bright star should not be in this location. I watched for about 30 seconds, and it dimmed by about 75% and started moving slowly north. After 10 minutes the object was about 80 degrees west and 70 degrees off the horizon. I ran inside to get my binoculars and when I got back outside it took me about 5 minutes to find the object again as it had dimmed again to a point barely visible to the naked eye. The object was about 40 degrees N.E. and still 70 degrees off the horizon. At that moment, a bright flash came from the object. It was as if a large camera flashed. I followed the object with my binoculars as it moved E.N.E. Slowly, and every minute or so, the object flashed brightly. In all, I saw eight flashes as the object moved E.N.E. and out of my sight. The sighting lasted about 30 minutes. I wrote the details of this sighting down that evening, as well as the compass readings. My binoculars are 10x50 power and all compass readings are from magnetic north.

Tacna, AZ
9/29/15 Last night, while traveling East on Highway 8 in Arizona near Tacna, I suddenly noticed a very bright light that seemed to be atop a large rock outcropping on my right. I placed my hand on my daughter’s arm (she was driving) to ask her what it was. Suddenly, it started moving towards us very quickly, until it was directly in front of us over the highway about 100 yards in front of us. We could not discern a definite shape, but we felt it was triangular and had an angled top which narrowed in what appeared to be the front of the flying object. There were three sets of bright lights, with several lights in each set. My daughter thought the bottom of the object was slightly rounded. The entire sighting took approximately 15 seconds. As the object reached the Western side of the freeway, it appeared to hesitate and “wobble”, continued into the desert about 50 feet and completely disappeared. It was a very bright night, with a full moon. There was no visible propulsion; the craft simply disappeared. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and we found her to be quite sincere and sober-minded. We suspect that she is a very good witness. PD

Orb like to the naked eye but when I zoomed in with my smartphone which is a Samsung note, it looked as if the object was shifting shapes and a bunch of bright stars twirling and spinning and dancing around.

It was on the same night as the blood moon. while watching the moon I started to walk my dog and I looked up and I saw two objects in the sky that looked like the hulls of a boat with 4 or 5 red lights in a chevron shape only on the under side that floted in the sky about 300 ft above the ground and they were both bobbing up and down and their lights would blink on and off and they slowly drifted away from me as I walked twords them and they never got to far away form me I took a few picture's with my crappy phone and you can see them in they pictures by then I started to get to far from home so I turned around and went home and contacted you

Black sphere rose from the west. It made no noise as it traveled south. Then descended again. I couldn't tell the size, but it was perfectly round.

Stars stood in the distance of the sky, three stars changing colors red green white, diamond, it glew with an orb, then one of the stars came up real close, watching us through the window, it sent a light like perimeder around the house, the dogs became very scared barking and howling, as if their was movement, i felt it zoning in on us as if it had some kind of technology it moved to our movements, taunting me. I wanted to go outside and confront it but i felt as if it would mean something bad was to happen, possible abduction.. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
