Outer Benson/ Texas Canyon/ Sibyl, AZ
My family was driving and we thought Texas Canyon had an extremely large fire that was very clearly going into the sky. Unfortunately I was driving and very much fast speed traffic. I have never seen anything like this. As we got closer it was literally thousands of fireballs coming out of the mountain which looked to be a black portal in the mountain but with so many it was GLOWING ORANGE! The fireballs look to be orb like but pulsating in color between orange to amber, black outing. The insane amount of curiosity, slightly nervous and almost completely breathtakingly calm as you approached. They were spread from all over the mountain and floating looking over both sides of the freeway hanging not far above. Again I truly wished I would have attempted more while driving. While going underneath them there was strips of what looked like lighting bursts of different lengths and size. Mostly lightening Z to oval? They were yellow, green and purple. If I ever see this, I will find a spot to pull over for more observation. The most insane part is that everyone driving was almost equally hesitant and curious but as thought we all were on the same page as far as speed, I believe we all slowed down and passed the same meaning not brake jamming or rubbernecking a car accident. It was so incredible. I truly hope more capture photos, I think it’s absolutely fascinating.

This morning just before 5 am, I was riding my bike under the starry sky. I saw a perfectly straight line of maybe about 70-100 lights passing in the sky. (maybe more than 100) The size of the entire line was about as large as the Orion constellation. It moved at about the speed of a passenger plane (slower than a satellite) and like I say, a perfect line of starry lights that moved in complete silence. I stopped and watched as it moved South-East. When it disappeared behind a tree I pedaled a few yards and expected it to be on the other side of the tree (i intended to count/estimate the number of lights) but the thing had disappeared. Starlink satellites?

Phoenix, AZ
I am an nightshift worker that oversees the water for south mountain area of Phoenix and I happen to take an break in an dark area that is also elevated enough to oversee phoenix. I parked company vehicle facing north east and just happen to see an bunch of orange/yellow ball lights, kind of in an string but not that in line, more like an cluster, moving together quickly from what looks to be north to south at least. They look to be hovering low judging how far they’re from the ground, at least slightly above downtown Phoenix skyscraper elevation. I am unsure if it was moving above city or in the mountains and only lasted 2-3 seconds before disappearing quickly. Also the direction I looked at based on my location, I am also looking in path of airport and looks to be military base as well. Since then I haven’t seen an video or report about it.

Sierra Vista, AZ
My name is (deleted) I live in Southern Arizona and captured these pictures September 1st around 8:37 pm. The one picture was the flash on the iPhone flashing, the other photo is with out flash, and the video is not the craft moving around but me trying to keep the view of it in the screen, I don’t have super fancy video editing controls but I was able to manipulate the contrast hue ei and you can defiantly see metallic shape, in the video which was after the snap shot the 2 lights were now only one light. This area is restricted airspace, and in 2 years living here I have never seen nor heard aircraft in the area from my back yard. I hope this finds you and you can give me your thoughts Thank you

Maricopa, AZ
On 8/24 at 8:45pm facing South towards Sonoran Desert National Monument, my husband and I saw 3 "fireball" looking orbs hovering over a distant hillside towards the Sonoran Desert National Monument. They suspended/hovered in the air for about 5 minutes before "extinguishing" but not dropping, and moving to another location east (maybe a couple of miles?) and reappeared. These eventually "went out" and we did not see them again that night. On 8/25 at 9:45pm, again facing South towards the Sonoran Desert National Monument, 3 lights appeared while my husband and I were out stargazing, hoping to see the lights again that we'd seen the night prior. They maintained their location in the sky, just like the night before, and were the same glowing amber lights/orbs. They again disappeared, and reappeared SSW towards Yuma, this time seemingly further away. This lasted roughly 10-15 minutes before we did not see anything again. Then, last night on 8/31 at 7:20pm, I was in my backyard facing North (completely opposite direction of past 2 sightings) towards South Mountain/Ak Chin Reservation, when I saw 3 glowing amber lights, just above the horizon line. I have included photos and videos of what I witnessed last night. I was terrified upon first sighting, as it looked almost as if they were coming towards me? The lights seemed to grow brighter and brighter, and I had a weird feeling. This time my husband was not home, so I ran inside and called him, and viewed from my bedroom window that faces north. I could still see the lights and they were hovering over the horizon line facing North, 3 lights in a horizontal row. About 7:34pm, the lights changed into a triangle formation, and then over about 2 minutes, they changed to a diagonal formation. Eventually, one dimmed (did not extinguish because I could still see it) and moved west of the original location. The other two maintained their brightness. After about 20 minutes they dimmed. At 8:20pm, all 3 bright lights were visible again in the same area, and again moved from a triangle formation, to a diagonal, as seen in the still photos from the 3 minute video I took.

driving south on hwy 85 at 9pm. Dark sky. A bright orange light, rectangular in shape. Only lasted a few second but a second came about 15-30 after first. Thought at first a meteor but quickly realized was not. Thought a plane in trouble but never say anything in news.

South Phoenix, AZ
Looking south from Phoenix to the south mountain. No one really hikes there at night . Rarely see if anyone do. Never seen any vehicle go up there let alone multiple lights I saw this last month but I was able to film this time. One light appears and then there’s second light at least 30 seconds and then multiple lights at least 10 to my count appears. All in line, multiple lights moving to the second light is real bright. It appears that many lights went in to or pass the bright light then the middle lights appear even brighter. Multiple lights seems go in or pass the bright light in the middle. All disappeared right after that.

Arizona City, AZ
An object, that brightly lit up the cloud cover it traveled through, flew silently, at tremendous speed, from East to West over Arizona City, AZ at approximately 4:50 am 08/21/2022. It slightly changed direction south about midway through the sighting. It covered the viewable distance horizon to horizon in approximately 15 to 20 seconds. I did not see the object directly as it was traveling in the cloud cover. It appeared to be a single object capable of quiet, very fast travel and maneuverability.

Phoenix/ ahwatukee, AZ
I was in the passenger seat and was looking at the clouds when we came around the hill and I saw what I thought was a drone. It started doing diagonal movements or x shaped and was wobbling. It seemed to be doing a circle. Movements a drone can’t do. It was daylight and it wasnt very high up maybe a couple of houses above the houses. I stared because I was looking for the blades and I noticed it had none. Just a smooth round donut shape with a clear hole in the center. The way it moved I could definitely tell there was no blur anywhere. It seemed very small and black. If something was inside it it would have to be like rat or cat sized. There was just one and it was above a housing track prolly 1000 or more houses there as it’s in the center of Phoenix. They don’t know I saw them right? If there is a they? I’d like to be left alone. I looked up black donut ufo in google and DuckDuckGo and the few videos and pictures I saw looked exactly like what I saw and honestly I’m freaked out. I have a photographic memory so it just keeps playing in my head. I’ve never thought about aliens existing until a few days ago when I read some article about them and now two days later I think I’ve see a real ufo. It seems so unreal.

I was outside looking at the clouds and it was raining lightly. I turned to look west and 2 separated white lights approximately 1000 feet in the air. The lights were striking across the sky for about 10 to 15 seconds. The light on top was going faster then the 1 underneath and they were traveling from north to south and then disappeared from sight. They were not military aircraft as they have more lights on them or afterburner. My husband and I were stationed at Luke AFB for 1 1/2 years so I have seen night flights and they were just lights coming from my first seeing them until they disappeared.

Dateland, AZ
I'm Siro Saracino, professor of piano in Italy and owner of some properties in US. I was on my property in Dateland with a friend when it was 9:32 pm. We had seen light up like a very strong oval light in the sky, on the horizon above Dateland, to the west, in Yuma direction. Shortly after, another light comes on, always oval and then gradually others, up to 7 objects. While the others lit up, the previous ones turned off and others lit up at various points and directions. Some were in pairs and some were single, and one of them moved quickly from right to left. The color of lights was orange, like a fire and they were very bright. Lights left no trails. Everything lasted more than half an hour and I was able to take lots of photos and lots of videos.

Fountain Hills, AZ
I was walking out to the parking lot of Eagles Landing condos and viewed an object at about 200 ft above the ground, traveling silently at about 200 miles per hour, the size of a small commercial aircraft, apparent wings fixed and apparently in a slight descent. It shot over my head and disappeared in a northerly direction, wings remaining fixed and without sound. It was way too large to be a known animal. The sky is clear, stars are visible (Fountain Hills is a dark-sky community), and the object did not apparently crash audibly. This is my second encounter with something unexplained in Fountain Hills, as I witnessed a motor vehicle apparently disappear in the same area several months ago after sunset. Its headlights vanished within a mile of contact as we were approaching one another on the road. No trace.

this report is for bfracone.@yahoo.com 2 reports already filled out #36361 case number 123318/123317 Spoke to Frank Frascone over the phone with details about the who what why and how. This is not an abduction but a contact made to me by a demonic entity. This is all true and the nature is under spiritual warfare. I have been tagged or chosen like alien does when they beem up a human. Except I have been given a frequency by these evil entities which allow me to have telekinesis to hear them in my head and out in the air only at a frequency attune to my ear. These plasma orbs are manifestation of electromagnetic frequency and they have biochemically enginered this frequency to enter my body to see everything from my vision to my dreams to invade all my life . They can tell me every event that has occured since I was born. And worse they are in my body to increrase my pule to give me a heart attack when they feel like it.

Looking South at appx 8:20 PM on July 14th 2022 I noticed a bright green light at about 25 degree elevation from my location. There were no flashing light white or red and light source was steadily hovering. Light moved slightly east and then back west to original location. 3 to 4 minutes elapsed. Green light turned Deep Dark Red for 2 minutes then changed back to green. Light moved West 6 to 7 degrees in 1 second, hovered 1 to 2 minutes. Green light moved back close to original and proceeded to move in southern direction and became faint into storm clouds when it became un-seable. This was not a commercial craft or balloon. Military background Avionic Instrument Systems. Monsoon moving through the area but clear line of sight as noted above. No aircraft in skies until UFO was out of sight.

Queen Creek, AZ
Driving southbound on Hawes Rd through Queen Creek, AZ at night, I observed what appeared to be an oblate spheroid shaped object. As I crossed the Chandler Heights Rd intersection, the street lamps were non-existent. This dark road and sky made sighting this jump out at my attention in the upper right of my windshield, as it was moving very fast. The color was a vibrant emerald green color with an aura of yellow around it. I thought i might be fireworks, but then it arched downward for a brief moment (as if dropping altitude) then leveled out and accelerated very rapidly in a straight horizontal line from east to west across the valley floor. I estimate it was downrange from my car as close as 3-miles away at an altitude of 500 feet which is well below the height of the San Tan Mountains (3,104 FT). It was accelerating much faster than any light aircraft or helicopter that is common to see in this area. The weather was windy with lots down drafting wind currents from a lines of thunderstorms in the area. It was dusty and gusty to 40 kTS which obscured the moonlight, so this was really bad weather for a private pilot to fly in with a light aircraft from nearby Pegasus-Queen Creek Airpark. I was driving at the time with my phone plugged into my armrest on Apple Car Play, so I didn't have enough time to grab my phone for snaps.

Phoenix, AZ
I was in my hotel room when I spotted a flying green light in the window. It was moving very quickly. I bolted to the window to try to catch a better view and I just couldn’t understand what it was. Not an airplane because it was not shaped like an airplane; it also had a green light the shape of a dot, and some small white lights surrounding it. Most visible was the green light. I thought maybe it was someone’s drone. But it was very high up and it went way too far away. I couldn’t see it after a few seconds, it just disappeared outside my window frame. And it was just too dark to film with a drone. Not ideal lighting at all. So not a plane, not a drone. What else could it have been? And I know for a fact a plane does not travel that fast from the perspective of someone on land and they just don’t have green lights and they always leave a trail behind that shows their past trajectory. The person next to me couldn’t see it as much as I tried to show it to them. They weren’t looking in the right spot and the Flying Obiect just moved too fast. I couldn’t tell if it was a triangle shape or a square, or maybe a circle.

Sedona, AZ
I usually see UFOs often and take videos and pictures of them during the daytime. This was my first time at night. A friend and i stopped in a parking lot in AZ and we’re looking for apparitions, shadow people, and crafts. I focused on the crafts since I know when, where, and how to look for them. I saw a few flying above me and I just took videos of whatever I could see. Sometimes I ask for them to come. If they notice me they sometimes disappear. I apologize if this sounds weird, but I see them daily. I have about 8 videos of crafts in AZ, but most of my videos are from Massachusetts. Thanks!
