After dozing off to sleep while sleeping outside on my back, I suddenly awoke to see a massive object descending toward me from above. It appeared half the size of my outstretched hand until it reached its closest point, then appearing the full size of my outstretched hand held at arm’s length from my body. The object seemed to be the size of a large house or larger. It was not illuminated (and appeared dark in color with some irregular features that seemed to reflect light) but seemed to be a large creature of some sort (resembling a beetle as seen from below). It also appeared to resemble a dark colored octopus as seen from below, but with tentacles much shorter (each only a quarter the thickness of its body) and more wirery than those on an octopus. The ‘tentacles’ (approximately ten or twenty located around its periphery), in fact were more like the cilia of a cell seen under a microscope. These ‘cilia’, flagellated and shivered rapidly as if being rapidly blown by an erratic wind, yet the sky was very still (with no wind) and the object made no noise that I could hear (as a loud commercial jet was taking off from a nearby airport the moment I awoke). The object had a highly organic look, as if it were a creature (maybe a large bug) of some type. After I’d watched it approach for about two seconds, I yelled thinking that it may crash into me. The moment I yelled, it abruptly changed direction (without slowing down) and began moving away and to my right. As it ascended to the right and away from me, it slowly faded away and vanished. The entire encounter lasted approximately five to six seconds.

I saw a lit object dancing in the air before it glid rapidly over a park. Looked like a kite with neon red and blue lights. The object flew very near to me over a brightly lit park, before it sank after flying over the roof of a house, never to be seen again. Various witnesses saw the kite, drone like object. Maybe it was a drone?

UFO Sighting on June 22, 2015 in Sedona, Arizona, at approx. 10:00 p.m. Diagram of event at bottom of document. Filed by Melinda Leslie, Director of UFO Sighting Tours, Sedona. At approximately 10:00 p.m., or just before, my 6 clients and I (7 people total) were out on a UFO Sighting Tour with Military Night Vision Goggles when we all saw 2 large amber colored triangle shape objects with our naked eyes. These traveled from the northwest area of the sky beyond Airport Mesa in a southward direction toward Cathedral Rock. The 7 witnesses were standing together on Chavez Ranch Road turnout area. The 2 objects then made an arching turn as they headed easterly toward the Chapel of the Holy Cross area and then disappeared to the North over Munds Mountain. All witnesses were absolutely astonished and continued to discuss sighting event for duration of the tour. 4 of the witnesses clearly saw that these were 2 distinct structured, hard edged, dark triangle shaped craft each with 3 amber or orange colored lights on the bottom, one light at each corner. Both craft were seen by the 4 witnesses with their naked eyes, without the Night Vision goggles. 2 other witnesses saw them at close range, but initially thru the goggles and could not make out the shape, only that they were huge lights. One of these witnesses is a retired airline pilot with over 40 years of professional experience. He stated emphatically that these 2 objects were remarkably faster than any plane he’d ever seen and that they were very low, much lower than commercial aircraft. When these 2 witnesses lowered their goggles, they and I together saw that these were 2 very large amber colored lights, but unfortunately we did not see the distinct triangle shapes, each with 3 lights, as did my other 4 clients. All 7 of us saw the 2 objects make an arched turn while banking and continued to watch them as they disappeared over Munds Mountain. Please see the diagram below. Additionally, when these 2 craft were on initial approach, at the same time, a military jet at very high altitude passed over us and then another one did again as these 2 objects headed northeast. All 7 witnesses commented that the 2 UFOs were considerably lower than either of the 2 jets. It is difficult to judge the distance from us, but all the witnesses expressed that the UFOs were at most a few thousand feet, or less above us. All 6 clients expressed that they are willing to be interviewed. Unfortunately we were so caught up in the event that none of us grabbed our cell phones to get a photo of the UFOs or take a video. Darn it! I did create a computer diagram drawing that I will email as instructed by you below. Please look for email with write up of sighting event and the diagram drawing from my email address: Linnie@onebox.com

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Mr. Davenport, ...Sorry for not responding to you in a timely manner but since I got back from our family vacation a ton of work was waiting for me. The correct date for my sighting was June 19, 2015... ((END ADDENDUM)) Date in original report was flawed, so we have assigned an arbitrary date, until we hear back from the witness. PD

My son first spotted this object. I thought it was a commercial airliner, but it moved too slow, and also moved in wide circles. At first, the look was metallic, reflecting in the setting sun. But through binoculars, it looked completely black and donut/disk shaped, like a flattened basketball. On one side (bottom?) were 3 or 4 really large circles that emitted yellow light that pulsed. Sometimes the lights were almost invisible as the craft seem to tilt on its side. It moved slowly to the South East until we lost sight of it. The altitude was quite a bit lower than commercial airlines, my guess would be half that. The size of the object, its diameter, was something like a school bus (guess). Given out location the object must been been above Queen Creek or San Tan Valley, AZ, moving South East.

We witnessed 2 glowing orange light flying silently in tandem from the west head due east. They flew at a slow rate of speed just to the north of our home at an altitude of what appeared to be typical helicopter cruising height of 1200-1500 feet. We observed them for approx. 3-4 minutes until they 'winked out' in the far eastern sky. I have film footage.

My husband and I saw 4-5 red lights in a line just above the southern horizon. Some of the lights were blinking. I went inside to get binoculars to get a better look. They were gone when I came back outside.

I was on a Southwest fligth from Tucson, Arizona, to Los Angeles, California, on June 11th, 2015. It was 11:30 AM and we were about more than 30 minutes from Los Angeles. I decided to open the window and watch the scenery from the right side of plane. It was all desert. I saw patches of uniformed green squares and realized it was the Arizona California border The Colorado Rriver. A few minutes later it was all desert, sand as far as the eye can see. Then I noticed a plane was moving from East to West diagonally from top right of window to center of window. Plane was moving fast and thought we were doing the same thing. Then I saw another plane right below us going the same direction but way low compared to us. All of the sudden a bright orange sphere caught my eye, I close my eyes to make sure it was not some type of illusion. Nope it was there and was about 1/8 to 3/16 in diameter. The sphere was right above the clouds that were 80 plus miles from plane on top left of window. I was trying to take a picture with my cell phone camera but it would not come out right the focusing and how little it was would not look right. I looked at passenger 2 seats from me and tought of asking for help seeing it but he didn't seemed the friendly type. The sphere just sat there above the clouds not moving. All of the sudden it disappeared. I continue looking but never came back and plane moved on.

2 White lights dancing together in the sky in desert area. One larger and brighter. Another smaller yellowish light dropped in the sky and then ascended quickly disappearing leaving other 2. Other lights remained in sky for over an hour and a half before dimming and then disappeared.

Me and a friend we're hanging out, watching tv at my house. It was pretty late. We went out side to smoke a cigarette. We we're talking for a bit, then I suppose I felt something in the sky move and when I looked up, I couldn't believe what bin was seeing. It was an enormous space craft silently hovering over my neighbor's house, across the street from mine. I told him to look asking him if he saw whatn i saw. We both agreed that it was very real and amazing. We stared at it. It was unlike anything I've ever seen or heard reported. It was a dark grey color. And it shape was like a triangle with the pointed side facing south, then another two triangle shaped protrusions on each side of the ship pointing up towards the sky. It appeared like it had alot of space inside like there was multiple floors inside. There was a very large amount of window like squares with what looked like shiny redish, greenish, blueish and purpleish pearlescent squares all over the surface. Also, many white lights next to the squares that we're randomly lighting up. It looked like a large futuristic panel of buttons and lights. There was this wing like triangle coming out the bottom that had red lights on it. Idk what that was but maybe it was to not hit anything while that close to the ground or to enter a house . that's kinda what it seemed like. We watched it go south bound very slowly and completely silent. We we're in awe and watched as slowly left our sight. It was so unbelievable that I didn't tell anyone for a month or two and then when I did tell Ppl they didn't really believe me. But I think I found a story that was similar to mine but they couldn't explain it since they were not any where near as close as we were. I know I need to report this to see if anyone could tell me anything on what I saw. I wish I wouldve have gotten a picture. But I didn't have my phone and didn't want to risk going to get it and it being gone.

At approximately 1:30 am, my boyfriend was out back with the pups and asked me to come outside to see what he had been watching for a couple minutes in the West sky. There was this cluster of 20 bright crisp silvery metallic white lights in a loose grouping. The angle we were looking up into the sky was 30 degrees. The lights appeared to have a pattern they were blinking off and on through but neither of us could tell you specifically what it was. This grouping of lights, for lack of a better description, moved in a westerly direction as if attached to a drunken butterfly. Slowly, left, right, forward, stationary, rinse, repeat. Although the lights were moving farther west and away from us, they were still very bright white.....not soft or amber but clear bright white. We spoke with both witnesses, and both appeared on a radio program. They were both very objective, and sober-minded, in describing the event, and we suspect that both of them are quite reliable, and capable, witnesses. PD

Groom Creek wilderness area, AZ
On 05/31/2015, I was hiking in the Groom Creek area of Northern Arizona with two of my friends. We had reached the Groom Creek fire lookout and had stopped for lunch. While there, I was taking photographs with my Nikon Coolpix AW100 camera. Once I got home, I downloaded my efforts and discovered an unknown object in the upper right hand corner of one of the images. I was unaware of this object at the time I took the photograph. The orientation of the photograph is due north. There was no recognizable sound associated with this object. It could simply be a weather balloon or a mylar-type party balloon, although its configuration leads me to think otherwise. There is no accurate way for me to determine the distance I was from this object and therefore no way to determine its true size.

In the Northwest sky there were flashing lights which, in succession, would flash and disappear then reappear in another very nearby location. They would do this 3-5 times and appeared to "travel" in a straight line, however, that line could be horizontal, diagonal or completely vertical. Shortly after the occurrence a group of four Air Force jets from flew through the area and proceeded North, then circled the rest of the metro Phoenix area and headed back to Luke AFB. I am unsure how or if these are related.

We saw several (approximately a dozen) sparkling metallic reflections in a group. Moving up, down, left to right, approximately 2500 feet high or more, on a clear day, for about 5 minutes. We have never seen anything like this. They were not birds, planes, balloons, or any identifiable craft of any sort. This lasted for about 5 minutes. Then they just disappeared. Strangest thing we have ever seen.

Facing north, seven red lights from the north heading south toward us, loosely in formation, five cut sharply right, heading east & vanished as we grabbed a camera, while two remained continuing south, toward us then those two disappeared. These were not in any commercial flight path, seemed sizable for their distance, larger than aircraft position lights, or drones, did not fly in military formation & emitted no detectable sound upon approach, did not fade away just vanished. The sky was clear with good visibility (no cloud cover, etc.).

I was driving and observed two flashing white lights that were moving up and away in a parallel fashion as though they were connected. No other lights were present and I could not see a form that they were attached to. I slowed my vehicle and pulled out my phone to video it, but it moved past the houses on the road. I turned the corner to see if it was still visible so I could document it, but it was gone.

Hello. While looking up at the night sky and laying on my back, relaxing close to where I sleep outside near sky harbor airport, I noticed a flash in the sky. The flash resembled a star coming into existence suddenly, and then disappearing, just as suddenly (within a fraction of a second). This caught my attention as I have seen strange lights in the sky two years previously, when I lived in San Diego, California (USA). I then noticed two orange orbs, which I initially though were balloons, floating side by side next to each other heading in a southerly direction. No moon was out, so the orbs seemed to be self-luminous with a soft orange glow. The orbs flew directly overhead and then drifted out of sight. Regarding size, the orbs appeared to be, if looking at the back of an outstretched hand facing the sky, a quarter of the size of the pinky nail. As they moved, they seemed to have a slightly wobbly motion, as if they were balloons. A local dog began barking when the orbs flew over. Keeping my eyes trained at the sky, I then noticed stars moving. First one, then another, then a third and fourth over a period of about an hour. One of the stars seemed to strobe brightly for a time (five seconds) and then its light dimmed. It continued to fly and then seemed to vanish prematurely, before one might expect it to fade away due to distance. Two or three other stars approached my position on the ground, as I lay on my back looking at the sky, and disappeared suddenly when they were in a position directly overhead of my position. Two of the stars flew together, although not in formation, within my field of view before one vanished. Then the other.

I was walking back from my mailbox and I noticed a small white object coming in my direction. It was fairly high in the sky. At first I thought it might be a piece of paper blowing along with the wind. As it got closer to me I could tell that it was high in the sky. I kept looking at it and it traveled in a straight line, never veering from what seemed like an intended course. The object was white and I could not make out a true shape other than an oval or circle. It flew just below the clouds. I watched it fly past in a line from west to east. I heard no sound and saw no other lights or flashes. I started to think it might be a bird, but never saw a wing flap, and, as I stated, it flew in a perfectly straight line. It was definitely too small to be an aircraft. I went into my house and got my binoculars, but by the time I got back outside it had disappeared from sight. I know I was not seeing things, but I do not know what I actually saw.

My brother text me at 21:57 on May 13, 2015, saying lights in the sky to the east. I went outside to see but they were gone. He lives about a half mile from me but has a clearer view than I do. He described the lights as "2 large glowing lights stationary; really bright & flickering." He said he had not seen lights like those before. He said they were very white lights. He recorded both on his phone.

Almost straight line of multi colored lights, friend thought it was a ufo I didn't believe him until it dropped out of the sky out of no where. It came back about five mins later no where near as high and I could see if from behind a tree line for ten seconds until it dropped down again.

We could not tell if this was two separate objects or lights on one craft. All helicopters I've ever seen at night had flashing red lights. These were big, bright white lights alternating in a precisely timed sequence. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

As we were heading home from shopping on a very clear night, the car turned onto Tranquil Blvd. pointing west. We immediately observed what looked like two very large stars some distance apart high over the town toward Glassford Hill. The two white lights were blinking in an alternate regularly-spaced pattern. A moment later the lights moved closer together, still blinking, one on, the other off, then vice-versa, like a railroad crossing signal, only bright white. We could not tell if this was two separate objects or lights on one craft. All helicopters I've ever seen at night had flashing red lights.
