Cave Creek, AZ
On April 7, at approximately 8:45 pm, in Cave Creek, AZ., I saw a bright object streak across the sky. It moved in a straight line at a slight upward angle and vanished. The object was travelling north/east. The entire sighting lasted approximately 5 seconds. The object was about 20 times bigger than what a planet appears to be in the sky. I would guess its flight path to have occurred about 250 ft from the ground. It seemed slower than a meteor but way faster than a plane. I would describe the movement as streaking across the sky.

Just after 9 pm, I took the dog out in the backyard to go potty before bedtime, I looked up and there it was, at first I thought it was a plane crashing down, then it zoomed up, side to side, then up and down again.. I called out for my roommate , he came out and saw it too!! It was purplish pink, and white on bottom, with it moving so fast, it was hard to see the actual shape.. but it was round or oval. Now we live near an airport and we see planes and helicopters constantly, day and night.. this was NOT an airplane or helicopter.. now you could see this thing as clear as you see a stop sign, and there's lots of traffic here , ground and air, now I KNOW other people had of seen it.. I saw a report of people seeing globes hovering in 1 spot for about 20 minutes, this is not what we saw.. we saw 1 object.. and from the back n forth movements.. It looked as if it was searching for something.. it was moving quickly and almost erratically.( it almost! looked like a object being held from a string.. like kids do.. but clearly this was not the case.. it was large.. but at some distance and that made it hard to gauge the actual size). but did slow down during this duration and hovered still at one point before moving again.. then it was going away from us.. and we lost sight of it past the horizon. I will have the camera ready tonight in case we see it again.. People rarely believe these stories until you see it with your own eyes.. I know what we saw.. and it was no plane!! or any other aircraft I've ever seen. and while we saw this.. there were planes in the distance!! There are always planes in the sky here, 24 hours a day.. So they had to of seen it too!!

Very bright light sitting in western sky. Through binoculars no shape distinguishable, just bright off white/yellowish light. At least 2 or 3 times brighter than Jupiter in southwest sky. Sits for 3 to 5 minutes. No movement.took 1-2 seconds to try and align with astronomy map to identify, look back up and object is gone. No trace.

I saw one circle suddenly appear and moved slowly and faded. Then a few minutes went by and I saw it again. This time there were two, and they were real slow and then faded.

Im a truck driver and I was heading west on I-10 at about mile marker 58 when I noticed a red light/orb off into the north distance about 3 miles away from the freeway or so. I thought to myself I don't recall any light being out there against the mountain terrain. I kept driving looking over to the red light glow and then noticed a beam of light that shinned from it onto the ground like a spot light and I said it must be a helicopter. Well I continued to observe it and after about 30 seconds it turned off and I could tell it had elevated itself a bit higher from the ground as it was fairly close to the ground. It stayed there for about a minute then I noticed it started to move towards my direction at a high speed and I thought I don't think helicopters move that fast but as it got closer all I could make out was a perfect round red sphere ball, and then what really got my attention was that it was apparently following something big and I could not make it ! out that well but all I can say is that is was big and black and as it crossed the freeway in front of me about maybe half a mile in front and it was flying very low, had no lights, but as it crossed the freeway the front side of it was already across freeway and the back of it was still had not crossed the freeway. It was big, looked square in the back could not make out the front as it zipped by fast and the red orb following it. It had to be at least 200 ft in width by a good 400 ft in length is my guess. Last night didn't have much moon light but as close as this thing crossed in front of me it was big and I did roll down my window to see if I could hear engine noise and I heard nothing. It flew from north to south and the big black object just blended in into the night so well that after it passed across the freeway you could make it out anymore except the red orb flying behind it. I wish I could give you better details. I am not the only one that saw it as there was ! chatter on the CB from other drivers who wondered what it was.! I just cant believe that as close as I was to it I could make out better details about it but at the same time I was driving a big semi truck. Crazy night

Gilbert, AZ
Was sitting out in the pool visiting my parents in Gilbert for the weekend. Saw what appeared to be three orange lights in the sky moving in unison. Two lead lights followed by a seemingly equidistant third light traveling north on the horizon. We all watched these lights move in seemingly perfect locked formation. The only thing that changed was the distance between the two front lights, as if a large craft made all three lights and its visible profile or angle was changing. We watched for a good 2 min until the objects vanished from the sky. Another couple was out walking in the neighborhood and we chatted over the fence to them on the street, nobody able to explain what we had seen.

Last night, I was with my family and friends by the swimming pool and we saw an unusually bright light. It appeared to be an extremely large star with very thin red lights shooting off the top. This red light was very thin and long and it went up and down slowly several times. After 30 minutes, it very slowly headed towards Tempe, Az. People in our apartment complex could be seen watching the event out their Windows!!! No sound at all.

There were about 8 fireballs in the sky tonight they were just big balls of fire. They started off low and went higher. It looked just like fire that was traveling in the sky like the back of a rocket ship. But it wasn't going very fast. They flew for a few minutes and then disappeared.

I observed 3 big bright round lights flying overhead completely silently, hovering in place very low to the ground in a triangle formation from each other. They hovered for 1-2 minutes then flew up and East while staying in their triangle formation. That was definitely not an airplane, or helicopter or anything I can identify.

For the past few nights we've seen a briliant bright white light under the moon in the night sky, and we're wondering what it is. It doesn't appear to be moving (like a plane), but is in a different position every night. We are curious, because it just doesn't seem right.

Returning home going east on Ray Road just east of Ellsworth at around ten at night. This is a new housing development area with lots of daytime housing construction during the day and vast open areas. I was in the passenger seat and saw six bright lights at a little above ground level to the ESE. There are other lights in the area from warehouses and domestic homes. These were in a horizontal line consistent with the ground and were different, spanning about 100 yards in width if my measure is correct. My girlfriend was driving and commented on them and I wasn't sure what it was. There were 3 passengers in the back seat and we all saw them. Unlike mercury or sodium vapor lights, these looked incandescent, yellowish white, bright and large. What stood out is that unlike the domestic and business lights to the left and right of this array, these had a hazy fog around them.... They were about 1/2 mile away... I wanted to go over there, but there are n! o roads .... I have looked at that area every night since and it is dark....

2 bright spheres hovering over Fort McDowell. Looked like some sort of helicopter or plane close to spheres. One suddenly vanished.

About 8:30 PM, on the 21 of March 2015, my son was leaving to go to a friend’s house, and came back in the house and stated that there were weird lights in the sky. My friends, the wife, and I went outside to see what he was looking at. In the sky there were 5 orange orbs in line traveling to the east just over my house. They would fade away and more would come up over the horizon in the western night sky. These didn't look like flares (no smoke, no streaking tail and they were traveling slowly). As many as 20 came over the house in 30 minutes before fading out.

Surprise, AZ
Very large light over north end of white tanks. Stayed in same spot even while I drove from downtown Phoenix to west end of surprise. Light was visually hovering and could be seen waving back and forth. Had 2 smaller lights on the under side that were seen sporadically. Another similar one was seen over sun city west at exact time and disappeared with no trace. 7 Air Force planes were seen flying in direction of the one over the mountains and it disappeared once they were in range. Usually only 2 AF planes fly at a time out here and to have 7 at once proves something was not right.

I witnessed what looked like a small bright blue orb type light as the sun was setting. The light just dive bombed at a slight angle. I researched the sightings and found multiple witnesses across the country and world reporting the same thing (A light blue orb falling from the sky lasting around three to five seconds)

I was walking north on Tomahawk Trail between Moccasin Place and Ft. Lowell Rd., when I saw a blinding football-shaped light (that would be about the size of a 2-car garage were one up in the air) in the sky not more than three miles in front of me and roughly 1-2 miles in front (south) of the Catalina Mountains. It was flying below the altitude of the mountain top and moving very slowly from west to east. It then appeared to dissolve—just disappeared and then reappeared after about 3-5 seconds, again disappeared, reappeared after about 15 seconds (still very slowly moving west to east) then disappeared for good. The sky was perfectly clear and the sun shining brightly. Winds are VERY high here today and were averaging 22-26 mph at the time with gusts I’d estimate to be in in the 50 mph range. No plane I know of could fly that steadily and slowly in the winds blowing as I saw this. The light was way too large to be a balloon. Unfortunately, I forgot my phone and could not photograph it, but want to report it in case some one else saw it, too.

I was in the back county taken picture of jeeps coming down a hill. When I enlarge the picture there was a dot in the cloud I enlarge the dot to see it was a large disk in the sky and has a white aura around it and a flat bottom. I would like some one to look at this picture. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Triangle shaped object floated from the South and stopped over Ostrich Festival. It hovered over the carnival area for about 4 seconds, then continued North slowly, and disappeared within a blink of an eye.

Went outside Saturday evening around 8:00 pm. Looked toward the Southern sky and noticed a large round object slowly moving behind a cloud. It appeared to be the size of a moon. At first I thought it may be an “event” light but it did not move in the typical fashion. The light moved back and forth, up and down in a random pattern behind a cloud. It neared the edges but never came out from behind the small patch of cloud. After about 2-3 minutes it disappeared.

I was having a dream ,that I was asking a guy if I could see his weird video, which he thought he saw a UFO and aliens , while I was watching I heard these two beeps, I woke up and looked up where I was facing and saw two black invisible- to light objects on the ceiling and they were slowly moving when I took my cell phone light away, I prayed to God to send me angels and then rebuked them, I felt strangely calm and then heard these two beeps, I immediately got up and took a walk threw of the house, as I looked outside in the back yard, I saw a light flashing on a house about 3 houses down, I went outside to get my hand gun which I left in my cousins car, and was awestruck at the fact that all the lights outside of peoples houses, like the backyard motion lights that I could see over 6 ft walls and peoples garage motion lights on, they were all really blurry to me and I had to wait a minute or so to get adjusted., I unlocked my cousins car grabbed my hand g! un, then unlocked my truck to grab my USB charger cord to plug into my wall charger inside, I walked inside and my cousin who sleeps in the room adjacent to me which has no door because it was an office bunk room asked me if I heard his alarm go off, which is a tune of a r/b song, I said no, but I had a weird ass dream and woke up to beeping sounds that sounded like probes and a flash outside. After a while I was key word googling my experience, I then heard a series of 8 probing beeps, I ran outside with my gun in the backyard where it sound like it was, and saw nothing, but then heard what thought was an owl. That's when I new I had to report it.
