I seen the object over Rattlesnake Hill first. It hovered for about 40 mins in that area. I thought at first it was a helicopter. I live in an HOA that has low lights, and after dark there are no lights out here. After so much time elapsed and no sound I knew what it was. Then for about 3 mins it changed shape and became oblong and red/green lights appeared and it looked like a Ferris Wheel. I got out my binoculars and seen that it was pulsating light. Bright light. Then I looked around the sky and seen another 4 objects doing the same thing. Bright light, red, green lights. After 1 hour the object began to move West and hovered around for another 3 hours. Then I seen another two objects over Superstition Mountain. I began to scan the sky and seen at least 11 objects also pulsating light. I also witnessed more than 12 shooting stars in the night sky. Were they shooting stars or objects moving so fast it looked like it? I don't know for sure. But this was the best experience I've had seeing objects in the sky. I already knew that we are not alone in the universe. This just confirms it. I know what I saw and the other people with me witnessed it as well.

Tucson, AZ
Thursday October 16 2014 at 7:09 PM while returning home retrieving my mail from my mailbox in central Tucson, AZ, I observed a red light ufo for 3 seconds in the south sky going from west to east above and past the power lines. It moved very fast and then there was a very bright white flash of light and the object had vanished. Please note however the Davis Monthan Airbase is close by but this was not one ours. It made no sound. It moved 30 degrees from right to left.

Saw at first with my girlfriend going back to our car. It was flying very low about 200 yards away, but thought it was a plane. Didn't realize what it was until we drove towards it on a different road. It was hovering very close to the ground it was 100 yards from us. Then It came closer to us around 50 ft. I could see every detail; it was triangle shaped but at the same time the outer parts were square shaped. It flew very different from any other plane I have seen and closer to the ground too. It had a yellow lights on every corner with some other red ones on the bottom. It sounded like a muffled jet plane and for how close it was I could hear it hovering. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) 730 pm sorry about that ((END ADDENDUM))

Prescott, AZ
A week ago, I think on Sunday, Oct. 5, I was doing yoga on a wooden platform in my yard in Prescott, AZ, in the mid to late afternoon. I saw a white pinpoint of light move erratically around the sky. It was moving so fast that I assumed it was a laser or other natural phenomenon. I watched it for 1 - 2 minutes while I was in shivanansa pose (on my back) before it disappeared. I didn’t think much about it. Yesterday, October 11, my partner and I were at a campground in Cornville, AZ (near Sedona). We had a good, clear view of the sky and were lying on our backs watching the stars sometime between 7:00 and 9:30. We both saw what looked like a bright star in the sky (she saw it first), except that it was swinging back and forth by what looked like an inch or two, like an ornament on a tree, like it was tethered there. Sometimes it would lurch a short ways forwards or backwards, but stayed in essentially the same spot on the sky for the 20 or 15 minutes we looked at it. My partner thought she saw a faint dark circle outline around it. I thought it looked more triangular. The moving light was all we could see for sure. Several planes tracked through the sky at the same time, but this was definitely not a plane. The next day, October 12, at about 5:00 pm, we were at the mall parking lot in Prescott, AZ and a guy in a Jeep was pointing to the sky out his window. I looked up (my partner was driving), and I saw a light than seemed large and fairly close. I thought it was a plane at first, but then (within 30 seconds) it quickly faded into the distance and disappeared, faster than any plane I’d seen.

El Mirage, AZ
According to iphone compass 250 degrees "west" saw 1 orange light roughly 3-4x the size of a typical star in the sky. Starting moving up, called my son out. He saw. It flickered while moving up then disappeared. Went out 5 mins later, another one in the same spot showed up didn't move up but flickered and disappeared. We both witnessed this and couldn't get a good picture. Went out again 10 mins later my son and daughter both had their phones trying to get good pictures. Couldn't. Two orange lights showed up. The top one fizzled out and a third one showed up below it. Tried videos but an iPhone isnt very good in the dark. Both the remaining lights fizzled out. I didn't see any blue or red flashing lights to be an aircraft. And "although close to Luke AFB" I've seen aircraft flares from my time in the service. They weren't that. I honestly just don't know. All I know is they were orange. Larger than a star. Moved. And they were in the same spot when the "new" one came back. It's been 25 minutes and I keep checking back but haven't seen them since.

My sister In Law was visiting Sedona area and took number of country side photos. I was reviewing photos and brought to her attention what appears to be 3 earth-bound objects followed by smoke trails. The object on left seems to be physical object followed by smoke trail. She also took an evening photo showing 3 blue lights. She says she did not see the lights when she took the photo on her iphone. Taken at 18:26 on Oct. 6, 2014, 18 again in Sedona area.

As I was sitting in my living room, enjoying my free time - my wife was across the street at her girlfriends house - a very low flying helicopter flew over the house. It was so low that the house shook. I rushed out side to try to catch a glimpse of this helicopter and to report it to the FAA. I was in for a huge surprise. It sounded to me as if it flew a short distance away and then came racing back towards me as if it was a bat out of hell!! This happened more than a few times. At one time it seemed to stop over the house and hover there trying to intimidate me. As crazy as this sounds, I could not see it. There seemed to be some roter wash, but the noise that the copter was making was almost deafening and the house seemed to be shaking so hard that it was going to fall apart. And yet I still could not see any nav lights or it. It finally left after a few moments and has not been back since then. No neighbors came out to investigate the racket and my wife did not hear it across the street. A interesting side note is this: I happened to look straight up and saw at about 10,000- 15,000 ft a red orb circling directly in what appeared to be over my house. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Tucson, AZ
I saw an arrowhead shaped object moving horizontally through the clouds in the northeastern sky, mid horizon level, in Tucson, Arizona on 11:49AM on Sunday October 5th. It seemed fairly close, and also appeared to be large. It was moving at a fast speed and was silent. It appeared out of nowhere, glowed brightly in a flickering way (but with a substantial bottom illuminated), moved quickly, and then disappeared. The glowing didn't appear to be propelling the object, it just moved quickly. The object was darker toward the top. At first I thought it may have been a spotlight going through the clouds, but it was clearly an object with depth and dimension. I see a lot of planes around Tucson, living on the flight path to TIA, but no plane I know could do what this object did without making a sound. And this object simply was not shaped like any plane I've seen. It had an almost primitive shape, but behaved in an extraordinary way. There also appeared to be parallel lines wrought through the clouds near where the object was sighted, but this may have been just a cloud formation. I did not see the object make these streaks. And there was no trail left directly behind where I actually saw the object.

Coming home from dinner, saw six separate orange lights in the sky. The objects were moving in an up and down type pattern. Some going up, some going down, all in a slow motion. Thought it might be helicopters or aircraft, but no sound and maneuvers were not patterns aircraft would be doing at 11pm at night, if at all. Then, five of the orange lights shifted to form a triangle and slowly drifted down the skyline in a very tight pattern, more like a "V" actually. A "V" shape that resembled more of a ">" symbol. Then those five orange lights turned off, but you could still see the objects maintain their shape, but remain completely still and stationary. The sixth orange light then floated slowly up and to the left, and then slowly shifted to the right and eventually stopped in it's tracks as well. It remained lit for a few minutes after that, but then it also went dark. As I am writing this, the objects can still be seen sitting in the sky, unlit, stationary, and almost seeming to blend in with the normal sky constellations seen to the West at night. The lighted portion of the even lasted about 6 minutes or so, but total time so far has been about half an hour.

Around 2200 hrs on 10/4/14 several glowing objects were seen floating over the area near Oracle Rd and River Road (Catalina Foothills). The objects appeared to be balloons with some form of lantern inside. The object rose into the sky and most climbed for 3 to 5 minutes before the light faded then went out completely. Some objects did not continue to climb and appeared to land nearby. 5-8 objects were observed over the course of 20 minutes or so. My view was from near Canyon View Road and First Avenue.

Notice a small light in the sky holding stationary at the 12 o'clock pos. Took a look with my binoculars it didn't look to be spherical got the 4 1\2" telescope and looked at it. It looks like it has structure shapes and it was triangle shape with some reflective surfaces. While trying to lock on to this object with the scope noticed a red dot (not illuminated but looked to painted red) off to right of the main objects. The main object behaved like a balloon but looked nothing like any balloon I have ever seen thru my scope.

My dad and I were driving, and we saw a teardrop shaped object falling from the sky clearly on fire. Could've been an asteroid. It lasted for a few seconds (from what we saw) then we lost sight of it as we turned. Possible meteor?? PD

Possible UFO Sighting Date of incident: 9/29/14 Time: starting approx. 2150 – 2155 hours Duration: approx. 15-20 seconds Number of objects: 3 ( 3 separate sightings spaced approx. 30 – 45 seconds apart) Location: North Phoenix/Glendale area, Maricopa County, Arizona Direction of travel: Objects traveled from the Northwest to the Southeast Color and shape: Bright orange, round in color Summary On 9/29/14 at approx. 2050 hours I was sitting outside on my back patio when I observed a bright orange round object moving slowly across the sky traveling at a slow rate of speed coming from the Northwest and went towards the Southeast. I observed it for approx. 15 – 20 seconds. The orange object was not flickering or flashing but the all of a sudden the light went out and I could still see a dark image for a brief moment and then it disappeared. Approx. 30 -45 seconds later I observed a second object with the same description as the first traveling the same trajectory.. Then the orange light went out about 15 – 20 seconds later and I could not see the object afterwards. I then ran into the house and got my cell phone camera. Again, approx. 15 seconds later I observed a 3rd object, same as the first two traveling the same course and manner. I recorded this object on my cell phone and again the light went out and again I could see the object briefly but I could not see the shape or where it disappeared to. The weather was clear and the temperature was approx. 70 -75 degrees at the time. I did not see any aircraft in the area. It should be noted that Luke AFB is located approx. 20 miles to the southwest of my location and the F-16’s usually do night training from about 2100 – 2230 hours and you could see and hear them but there were no military aircraft at the time of my observations. On the video I gave the description as possibly as flares but none of the three objects flickered or left a smoke trail. As of this writing I have not seen anything on the news or the web.

It was about 9:40pm we just arrived at Squaw peak and looking towards the city you see about 6 orange lights in 2 rows first row with 3 and second with 3 lights for about a few minutes then it shaped into a v for maybe 30 seconds and the lights began to fade and it just all disappeared at once with many other witnesses around who claimed they weren't the only ones who saw this to prove they weren't making it up as well either. We have amended the time above. PD

On 2nd floor balcony, cool night, saw bright off white sphere surround with flashing red and some green around it (like a distance star shining), the size of a basketball from where I was standing, about 0.5 miles distance, mountain range in the background, houses, this looked like it was over one of the golf resorts. It shot straight up in the sky within the valley, stopped around the top of the mountain range for a moment, slowing descended, stopped half way down, slowly descended again and began to swirl slowly around the top of some houses then I lost sight. Twice it did this routine within about 10 minutes, I can tell the way it moved it was definitely a ufo. I actually called the resort and there wasn't any "fireworks" last night she said, told her what I saw and can tell she didn't believe are care about it. I know I couldn't have been the only person who saw this, hope someone else here did. Thanks!
