Arizona UFO Sightings in 2008

Full Report Text:

Strange craft seen from air plane traveling fast and low over Arizona desert I was flying from Portland,Or to Pheonix, AZ roughly 20 minutes before landing i looked out my window and saw a small metalic looking craft going incredibly fast over the desert. I calculated that our plain was going roughly 500 miles an hour and this thing was going at least as fast as we were. I did my reasearch and this thing was moving faster than any small aircraft can go.

Another intresting fact that should be noted is that it was flying roughly only 100 to 200 feet above the desert mountains. I watched it for roughly one minute before it disapeared off into the horizon. I know that this was in no way an aircraft also because i saw other aircraft earlier that were farther away smd they were completely defined, while this craft had no deffenition, no wings and no tail.

My estimation of the shape is a disc shaped object but given its rapid rate of speed it was too hard to tell. I do not know if anyone else from that flight saw it i had no knowledge of it.

12/19/08 Phoenix AZ curved shape 2 minutes It was just sitting still in the sky lights coming down,then gone from rear view Did anyone besides me see the huge object in the sky over 59th avenue and Osborn at about 6:20 this morning December 19? It was very large and it was just sitting still. It looked like it had a curved front and at each end of the object it had lights coming down. On the right side the light coming down was red and on the left side the light coming down was blue.

Does Luke have a special craft that they had out and about this AM? I watched it for about two minutes and then my car was underneath it, but when I looked back, I could not see it in the sky any more. It was very odd I thought, everyone must have seen it. It was too large for one helicopter but it was at a stand still, like a helicopter would be.

It was also so large that it appeared to be atleast 100 feet wide. Either I was seeing things this morning, (optical illusion) (some sort of weather balloon) (blimp) (special advertising gimmick) (Luke AFB) or someone had a craft in the vicinity?.

plane like object descended too fast. I was looking out the window at night when I thought I saw a plane. It seemed to be descending very quickly, so I went to the window to see it better, and then it was gone.

Saw a silver shiny sphere twice while driving north on Cortaro before Silverbell in Marana, AZ. I looked into the clear sky, looked north saw a silver shiny sphere for about 20 seconds and it disappeared and then reappeared and disappeared. I was driving heading North on Cortaro 1/4 mile from Silverbell in Marana,AZ and noted the time at 8:45 am and searched for planes or balloons and saw no other crafts.

I was driving home from work and as I was traveling on the state roadway approaching an overpass for the train I noticed a white bright ball of light shoot across the roadway about 200 to 300 feet up in the sky traveling at an amazing speed, it seemed like it was meteor. in the sky but meteors don’t shoot strait across at a very low distance.

One spherical silver object was sighted for 15 seconds in the central Tucson skies below a plane with contrails heading East . I was making my daily trek to my job from Picture Rocks to downtown Tucson (19 miles one way) along Silverbell (a road that parallels the freeway). I saw one spherical shiny silver or white looking object in the sky heading East about one inch from object a plane with a contrail, this plane was heading East far above the object.

I looked away for about 45 seconds, and then looked back and it was gone. It looked like it was above central Tucson - I was longside the public golf course on Silverbell. I looked for this object for about 4 minutes and kept searching for a plane or the morning balloons (people hire them for rides in the mornings-because our winds are less here in the mornings, and less planes to contend with because we have an airport).

This is an update to my original report that I made in Nov. 2008, and was removed and I put back up again in 2010. After looking through my gas and food receipts I was able to pin down the actual time of my sighting, at 8PM, just one mile east of XXX S Blake Ranch Rd, Kingman, AZ 86401-XXXX on the I40.

I saw what looked like 6 LARGE GLOWING PLASMA ENGINES flying over my car while driving west, just 15 miles east of Kingman AZ, 11.3 miles as the crow flies, to the Kingman airport. I saw a giant craft that had 6 large rectangle panels on the back end, that were glowing blue white, like plasma engines.

It reminded me of the “Millennium Falcon" from the Star Wars movies. What first caught my eye was a sparking or flash on the bottom of the craft, as it moved over my car. Then I saw two rows of 3 large rectangles, of blue white glowing light.

Each rectangle appeared to be house size. They appeared to be at the rear of the craft as it moved away from me. It was amazing how big this looked to me, I said out loud to my self, "I hope its one of ours".

It looked like it was about 2000 feet up above me. I could not see the shape of the craft. I was driving almost due West on I40 toward Kingman AZ.

I had just passed US93 when I saw the electrical sparks through my windshield to my right. It was flying along very slow for a jet and it had a ball of light traveling below it near the ground at the same rate of speed. You can see the ball in the first few frames of the video, but it might be a reflection.

I grabbed my video camera and while driving started taping. At the beginning I passed a freeway sign, Blake Ranch Rd. Exit 1 mile.

I recorded until just after I pass the exit, the craft was to far away, maybe 4 or 5 miles. It would have passed over or near the Kingman Airport. Someone should check with them.

When I played the tape later in Needles at a gas stop, the time code showed I had traveled one mile in 32 seconds! No freaking way, I would have had to be going over 100MPH. I tested the camera and nothing wrong there. I posted the video on YouTube, but its just shaky lights due to being hand held.

I also posted this report before but it must have been taken down! I no longer work for SAIC so I don’t care who know about this report. Originally I didn’t give my name or contact information because I was a contractor with the Navy. I have worked on my video and tried to stabilize the lights the best I can.

I will repost it soon. I believe this craft was heading toward Area 51 after researching the angle of the flight and the city lights relative to its direction. I plotted a straight line from my sighting to the base and its direction of travel.

Small blue-green orb speeding across sky to the west then disappeared We were travelling in a car heading west when we looked up and saw a small orb that was moving horizontally across the sky from east to west. It was travelling at an extremely high rate of speed, and then disppeared. It had a blueish/greenish color, and there was no tail.

It was faster than anything I've ever seen. It was light enough out to know that it was not a plane or star.

Full Report Text:

Green light in South Phoenix sky moving West very fast. Green light travelling West very fast with no sound. There appeared to be two propulsion trails, but only one object.

I could not make out the object, but the green or green/blue light was very distinctive. This was witnessed from Ahwatukee looking south. It was a very quick viewing and disappeared after a few seconds.

I am very interested who else saw this. I saw several small planes appear several minutes after the light passed, however they were moving extremely slow compared to the green lights. The planes travelled in roughly the same direction as the lights, but not the exact path.

The noise from the planes made it extremely noticeable that the lights had no noise. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Hight-Speed White Glowing Object with a Tail Spotted Over Phoenix, Arizona It was just getting dusk and my wife and I were sitting on our South facing back porch. I was looking toward the Southwest and my wife was looking toward the Northwest. It was light enough that the sky still had blue color in it.

All of a sudden I saw a single round white-glowing object with a whitish tail going at a very high rate of speed from the East going towards the West. The object looked about the size of a pea at arms length and its tail length was approximately 10 times the size of the object. The tail size was the same as the object at its start and tapered to a point.

In other words, the tail was cone shaped. It was just a glowing white object without any other features. The object was at about a 35 degree angle from where I was sitting.

It was traveling at such high rate of speed that by the time I told my wife to look, it was gone. It was traveling in a straight line from East to West. I’ve seen a lot of “shooting stars” and satellites in the California Mohave Desert near China Lake and their behavior was entirely different from what I saw yesterday evening.

And, no, this was not Venus or Jupiter in the Southwestern sky. They are stationary and the object was moving very fast. I can supply a sketch of the object and its tail if needed.

6 LARGE GLOWING PLASMA ENGINES OVER HEAD While driving here from the grand canyon near Kingman AZ I saw a giant craft that had 6 large rectangle panels on the back end that were glowing blue white like plasma, it looked like the Milinum Falcon from star wars, that's what First I saw sparkle on the bottom of the craft, that caught my eye as it moved over my car. Then I saw 2 rows of 3 large rectangles of blue white glowing light. Each rectangle could have been house size.

They appeared to be at the rear of the craft as it moved away from me. This reminded me of the Star Wars movie and the engines of "The Millennium Falcon". It was amazing how big this looked to me, I said out loud to my self, "I hope its one of ours".

I had just come from the Grand Canyon and was driving almost due West on I40 toward Kingman AZ. I had just passed US93 when I saw the electrical sparks through my windshield to my right. It was flying along very slow for a jet and it had a ball of light traveling below it near the ground at the same rate of speed.

You can see the ball in the first few frames, might be a reflection too. I grabbed my video camera and while driving started taping. In the beginning I passed a freeway sign, Blake Ranch Rd.

Exit 1 mile. I recorded until just after I pass the exit, the craft was to far away, maybe 3 or 4 miles. It would have passed over the Kingman Airport or very close.

When I played the tape later in Kingman, the time code showed I had traveled that one mile in 32 seconds! No freaking way, I would have had to be going over 100MPH. My car is 20 yrs old and was packed full, I was moving to San Diego, I was going up hill, no way could doing even 100 mph in that car. Was I in a time warp of some kind? I tested the camera and nothing wrong there.

I posted the video on Youttube, but its just shaky lights due to being hand held. I also posted this report before but it must have been taken down! Web video: http://www.youtube.

PLUS WHILE GOING THROUGH MY CLEARANCE MY COMPUTER WAS HACKED AND MY MAIL READ, AND IF THEY WANT TO DO THIS THEY CAN. OR AM I JUST PARANOID? 11/21/08 NEAR KINGMAN AZ ((END ADDENDUM)) ((NUFORC Note: We have watched the video, a link to which appears above, and the footage is ambiguous.

It shows a light in the sky, and little more, we observe. PD)).

Lights Over City Of Maricopa Previously Spotted Apparent common occurrence of object with two separate lights on opposite ends of the very large vehicle. No flashing beacons or white lights were present and no distinction of the vehicle could be identified. I have witnessed these very same lights in previous weeks and never could follow them long til they never lit up again and disappear.

Vehicle moves from East to West at the same attitude flying low over residential area, rural area, and dairy farms. The lights appear to flash in a sequence one side slowly energizes and lights up then as it gets its brightest the other side starts to light up as the first side darkens; lights last for roughly 2 seconds. Vehicle covers great distances in seconds, after I think its gone and I can't spot it anymore it reappears on the other side of town only to flash its lights again and disappear.

Lights resemble the yellow orange glow of afterburners.

Unfamilar orange lights in North Scottsdale I was sitting on the balcony when a seven lighted object came from the north west. It was in an arrow formation and it flew directly at us. One broke formation on the bottom right, it veared off in a different path to the right.

The formation then turned to the left heading south. The stray light rejoined formation again and then they all disappeared. In all it took less than 30 secs.

Scottsdale sighting against air traffic We were sitting on our outside porch when we saw it come from the horizon moving rapidly. One circle of light broke formation flying irradically while the others stayed in perfect formation. Thee objects broke from straight path and darted to our left the irradic circle rejoined formaion than it just dissappeared.

The objects were flying against air traffic from the scottsdale airport as well. Theres was no sound. My father worked for TWA for 37 years, and I have my private pilots license; also I was in the military I know what planes look like and that was nothing i have ever seen in the sky before.

Ufo as big as a football field,boomerang shaped,with red non blinking lights! I was sitting on my deck watching planes fly over my house. They fly over my house at about 5000ft on there way to land at Kphx. The craft I seen was gigantic,If you put three 747's together that would be about the same size.

This craft was silent,It had red lights about 8 of them and looked like a giant boomerang black in color. It was moving slow probably about 100 knots.I would guess the altitude was 7-10000 feet.

It was headed west,I ran in to get my digital camera but it was no longer visible. More people must have seen this, especially some of the airplane pilots coming in to land. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Three circular lights clearly not typical aircraft floating and moving away smoothly. While driving eastbound on Main Street between Val vista and greenfield roads my stepfather and i witnessed 3 bright lights separated randomly in the sky. The first two lights were in the north with one a bit further east and it seemed to be a bit closer to us.

The light closer and to the east (will be further reffered to as light 1) seemed to be shone in our direction because of the way the rays came off the light and how bright it was. Light two did not seem either as bright or to be shone in our direction. Light one seemed to be floating and not really moving in any direction until it slowly turned the light toward the south and began to move across the sky.

The light didn't seem to move in any massive speed, but it did not go slowly either. (i am a terrible judge of speed and distance) Light #3 was in the south east and was slowly moving south. Lights 2 and 3 were not nearly as bright as one and thus i seemed to really only watch 1.

It was also the closer light so it caught my attention more. My stepfather was mostly watching the one from the passenger side which was in the south on his side of the car. I know what an airplane looks like as i live under the flight path for Sky Harbor and these lights did not blink and had no red to them at all.

I also concluded it could not be a police chopper because for the light closest to us to be that bright the chopper would have to literally be aiming at us.

3 orange orbs at 99th ave and Glendale This sighting occurred in Phoenix, AZ, in the fall of 2008. My husband and I were traveling south on the west side 101 Freeway at Glendale Avenue. There is a large building on 99th Avenue south of Glendale Avenue.

It was dusk outside and the sun had just set behind the White Tank Mountains. My husband pointed out the building with 3 large orange/red orbs stacked over the top of the building. They were glowing and my husband asked if there were any airplanes that fly over that building because it looked like one of those large poles with lights on it that warn airplanes.

Glendale airport it just north of this area, but this building is right next to the 101 freeway and no planes would be flying that close and low over the freeway. I was trying to get my phone on to take pictures, when the lights starting glowing even brighter and getting larger and as we watched they just disappeared. My husband got off the freeway and we drove over to the building to see if there was a light pole in the property or even close to it.

There was none. It was completely dark by then and we went up 99th avenue and got back on the 101 freeway, southbound again. The orbs were gone.

((NUFORC Note: We have assigned an arbitrary time. PD)).
