Summary : My wife and I witnessed a craft passing in front uf us that was close to a mile long.This boomerang/trianglar craft became "transluct" when it passed through the light of the moon. It was 8:30 pm.
, mst, 3/13/97, and I wasgoing to bed. I went to close the window,when three huge, white, bright lights caughtmy eye. A plane was crashing from SkyHarbor Airport in Phoenix, the angle andspeed would not allow a plane to survive.
I ran to the living room, grabbed my glasses,and told my wife of 25 years, Get outside,NOW! Never said that before, in that tone.We were standing on our porch within 8-10seconds. This craft was 3000 ft.
off thesurface. at least 1 mile in length. Thereis no doubt in our minds that what we wereseeing, was one object.
It appeared to betriangular or wedge shaped. Three bright whitebeams of light up front, and 4-5 solid, non-blinking red lights on east side and rear.The moon at that time was at 45 degrees anddirectly facing us.
I told my wife, "We'llbe able to see detail as it passes in frontof us, directly in front of the moon. As thecraft passed thru the light of the moon, thecolor of the moon changed to dingy yellow,and we could see horizontal "waves" as itpassed. These waves were similar to gasolinefumes if one to take the lid off of a gas can,and look at the reflection of the fumes.
Thecraft was viewed by us from a straight linenorth to south. It never moved irratically,nor did it make a sound. It was totally quiet.
Our viewing sight was approximatly 2 milesfrom the craft. We witnessed a plane in landingformation pass right over the object. It neveradjusted its course.
It didn't see it. I toldmy story to MUFON on 1-15-97. We were on,"Strange Universe" on 3/31/97 as witnesses tothis great event.
The video on the news and tvis not what we saw at or near that same time.Our sighting was one solid object. We live inthe far eastern part of Chandler, and had anexcellent view point.
This craft had no visiblemeans of propulsion and was totally quiet.Itnever changed course and went straight southtowards Tucson, Az. The object was dark andwas not big in height, but beyond huge inlength.
We were back inside by 8:45 in totaldisbelief of what we had seen. It wasn't untilwe saw the news the next day, did we realizethat others had seen massive sightings. I am44 years old, married for 25 years, threegrown boys, and twin granddaughters, I am aUS Navy veteran, with 14 years education.

i was driving north on I-10 from gila river indian community. i got on the ramp i-10 north.at queen creek rd.
around 8pm or before 9pm on i-10 and before chandler blvd the object was in the air above the highway. i passed under the object at 40mph as all the other cars and semi trucks. i looked with my head out my driver side window right under it.
the object was bigger than two or three football fields (( you can tell by not seeing the stars)). the lights of the cars ,trucks , and highway lamps did not refect off the object. this object was maybe 200 ,300 feet high ((from the bottom surface to the ground.
from all these years from the event i don't remember how many lights but they were orange in color. under the object, the orange diameter 15 to 20 ft. to 10 12 ft high the light is like a glow.
but the glow is from straids in this diameter. this is how the color look is //// the flash bulb of a 50's camera , the straids are orange. the straids did not move in the diameter.
no heat or sound. you can see a darker blackness inside the diameter circle. the bottom of the diameter is open to the atmosphere.
all i can say is that the straids of a flashbulb orange glow today there is el wire neon wire that looks like it but in a gas fade look. i felt a calm manner under it. the sound from outside of the car can be a mmm transformer or just the tires, hard to tell under the object it felt like a long time.
about 3-10 mins from the miles before to miles after ( after in the mirror)) this event was on my mind for years. thanks for reading.
