Gilbert, AZ
Saw lights while talking to friend on phone. Finally realized my tablet was in the truck. I turned on tablet and started recording it. After it disappeared, I played the video back and noticed that you can see the lights move upward at a fast rate of speed. Sorry for quality, my tablet is 4 years old.

New River, AZ
Large spherical object moving westward changing colors and patterns of lights on it. Video is zoomed 16x on my Nikon camera. We spoke briefly via telephone with the witness, and he confirms that the date is correct, but he corrects the time, to reflect a sighting that occurred 50 minutes past midnight. We have corrected the time above. PD

Object at first appeared to be a fixed object hovering over sun city west, AZ. Looking from the west towards the east. It had bright white light that changed from greenish blue to red. Its movement was irratic, moving straight up and down in the sky. It started upwards and moved from above the tree line to overhead in the night time sky. It stopped and hovered with slight movement to the right and left. The object slowly decended back towards the tree line where It hovered again before dissapearing behind the trees.

Sedona/Cottonwood looking NE, AZ
Location: Sedona and Cottonwood 9-21-14, 6:45pm. I was hiking at dusk in Sedona, looking Northeast and there was a big flash across the sky in the low horizon. 8:20pm. After stopping for dinner, I returned to my car to make the drive South to Cottonwood. There were more flashes of light in the same region of sky. I could see them in my mirror and out the driver’s window, depending on the curvature of the 89A. Once back in Cottonwood I continued to watch the Northeast sky. There have been two more bright flashes in the last 20 minutes. Notably, there are no clouds in the sky. I checked the weather report for Flagstaff and there is a 0% chance of rain.

Phoenix, AZ
Started with a single fireball flying horizontally (thought it was a plane on fire). Primary fireball dropped what appeared to be a white orb much smaller than initial, then another two. Orbs dropped away from primary, then became fireballs. Fireballs flew in patterns, one did a loop-d-loop. One of the secondary orbs dropped a new white orb, which after ~2 seconds of dropping became a fireball. Primary fireball extinguished, became a blinking blue/red light flying horizontally left, then right over other fireballs. All fireballs eventually descended below treeline.

Gilbert, AZ
While driving east on the 202 near Val Vista rd Exit we saw 2 red balls floating down from the Sky like feathers that broke off into 4 balls. They had a random pattern. They would blink on and off and vary in brightness. At times the ball was white/blue with a red flaming tail. Then they disappeared. They did not streak down like a meteor but again floated down bouncing like feathers.

Chandler, AZ
On 9/20/14 at approximately 7:20pm my husband, 2 kids and myself were driving back from Casa Grande, AZ, and my husband and I saw the following: We were driving north on Gilbert Rd. just past Ocitillo Rd. in Chandler, AZ when I saw two red/orange balls in the northeast sky quite a distance from us. They were sitting at a diagonal from each other but too close together to be airplanes. I pointed them out to my husband who commented that they may be an antenna tower. I commented that it must be one crocked antenna because of the diagonal line they made instead of vertical. I dismissed them until 20 minutes later when we were on the 202 E just before the Val Vista Rd. exit. I looked up at them and they were white now and, to my eye, looked to be about the size of the old large satellite dishes until they broke up into four separate balls about the size of basketballs. I guesstimated them to be around 3-4 miles northeast from us and approximately 500 feet from the ground. We pulled off to the side of the highway and watched them as they seemed to be floating down from the sky in a diamond shaped pattern. As they were doing this each ball of light intermittently changed in brightness going between glowing bright with red flaming tails (like a comet) to dim white balls of light to barely visible. They floated down slowly like a feather. Each time one flared up the others did not. Also as they were coming down individually they were slowly changing direction in circular motions. They eventually fell out of our line of sight behind buildings. They were moving to slowly with weird directional changes to be a meteor or something else falling from the sky.

Chandler, AZ
While driving north on Cooper Road, my daughter and I witnessed four objects in the sky with fire trailing behind them. The objects seemed to be travelling back and forth, and each time they changed direction, the fire trail subsided, as if the object was changing direction and we could not see the exhaust at that time. This gave the appearance that the four objects would randomly disappear, and then reappear nearby. The objects seemed to be descending, zigzagging in the same area of the sky. In just a few minutes, they disappeared. All we could really see was the fire trails, or exhaust plumes of the objects. Something was obviously leaving fire trails, as they appeared very thick at the source of the trail and thin at the rear of the trail as it burned out. This area of the sky commonly has aircraft passing by, since Sky Harbor airport is nearby. We could see the light of jets as well, but those were MUCH higher in the sky and further away. These fire trails seemed less than 5,000 feet in the air, and less than 10 miles away from our location. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Gilbert, AZ
We were walking our dog and saw 4 lights in sky, 3 were like flares, one was a bluish-redish light. All four changed numerous times, from the blue/red light to a flare-like light that fell downward. It lasted about 5 minutes until we couldn't see it anymore because of the trees. We thought it was odd, that if they were flares, why did they change back to the blue/red light many times?

Four lights in the sky over Gilbert, AZ. Trails like comets, but with a sparkly appearance, going all sorts of directions (up, down, left, right, loops, all over the place). Fading out to a tiny blue light, then flaring back to previous brightness. Going gradually lower, until out of sight behind buildings and trees.
September 18, 2014 · 9:50 PM · CIRCLE
Phoenix, AZ
A large circle of light appeared then a beam of light extended from it, like a Slinky toy being extended. Then the light retracted from the start point to the latter point. The beam of light extended about 2 miles across the sky. Then the circle of light appeared again at that point and another long beam of light extended again. Again the light extended and retracted. This happened 4 times until it was out of sight .. This light appeared to be a way of something to use Light Energy as a form of transportation.

Wickenburg, AZ
On Wednesday September 17th, 2014, at approximately 9:35 PM Pacific Time, I was driving west on Sun Valley Parkway and saw two amber lights that were circular in shape about a mile apart and about 2 miles up in the sky. My guess the location was about 15 miles south to southwest of Wickenburg Arizona. About a minute later 2 more appeared near the north amber light. They appeared at times to be slightly glowing. They were not moving and I heard no noise. At about 9:40 PM, they just disappeared within a few seconds of each other. I then looked everywhere in that general direction for the remainder of my trip home for the next 10 minutes but never saw them again. This incident occurred about 30 miles northwest of Luke Air Force Base and about 10 miles west of the secondary Luke Air Force Base used for emergency landings.

Me and my sister were outside and it was completely dark out. I spotted a rich, blue light in the sky north of us. We started watching it, and it seemed to be hovering slowly. It would pulsate very slowly from blue to white, and I happened to see a little red. Then it stayed a rich blue. It started to head east, then flipped around completely and quick and headed west. It was truly amazing. We couldn't watch it any longer as it went behind buildings and such. I hope we'll get to see it again.

Marana, AZ
I was outside walking my dog before I left to go camping on Mt. Lemmon. It was about 4:30 in the morning and I stood there and watched it for about 5 minutes before I ran inside to get my camera. I was expecting it to be gone when I cam back out but it wasn't. It was still in the same area that it was in. I placed my camera on top of a fence post to make sure my hands were not shaking. I have 4 videos; 1) 59 seconds, 2)15 seconds, 3) 13 seconds, 4) 8 seconds The light danced and moved in ways that no human made object could move. The movements were against, what we understand, as the laws of physics.

Holbrook, AZ
I swear to the following statement to be 100% true to what I experienced. On September 5th 2014 in Holbrook,AZ on a clear blue sky day, I witnessed a static shadow of 100's of black specs on the ground in a 40'x40'area in front of me and at the same time I heard what sounded like a million electronic insects as a background noise. The object that made the static shadow felt close to my location, about 400' above me and the morning position of the sun at 10:21AM and took about 7 seconds for the static shadow to pass by me. I looked up after the static shadow passed and noticed no object(s) at all, only clear blue skies and no clouds at all. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

At around 11pm, (Power rd & Guadalupe) myself & 3 other adults witnessed this strange object humming above about 200ft in sky. It had row of 6 green lights & row of 6 red lights above the them. The craft zipped across sky (west along Guadalupe Rd then cut hard left & hovered in place then dropped down 100ft then zipped vertical to about 200 ft then disasters. The lights flashed. It sounded like an ultra light plane but it wasn't. it was so close to us if it had been at dusk we might gave caught a photo. Either way it freaked me out.
