She rushed outside to see what I was looking at.) It appeared stationary, then it appeared to climb and accelerate slowly South bound. It halted then flew straight up and pulsed 4 times then it disappeared.

It made no sound. The night was clear, no cloud cover. I could see the stars clearly.

The object appeared over my nieghbors house looking east. My wife and I work at 2 seperate semi-conductor plants as operators. We were both in the Service, my wife a Marine, and I was a Sgt in the USAF.

At 19:15 p.m., November 8, 2000 our daughter phoned to tell us "Bubba" was back and to go look towards her house in the northern sky.

I kept her on the phone while my husband and I ran out to see. We got our binoculars and the video camera. While I talked to her, my husband video taped the light to the north.

We watched for 15 minutes. It was directly over her house in Gilbert, Arizona on Cooper and Guadalupe in Gilbert, Az. We saw a bright red light that vibrated and changed to amber, then back to red.

It seemed to "float" towards the east. She said it was directly over her and she was looking at its' "belly." This is what she said.

"I'm looking straight up at its' belly and it's triangular shaped. The lights are pulsating and a tiny white light just went it in and came out again." The red lights went from extremely bright to dim, to amber, to just a faint red.

A few times we thought it had gone but seconds later it came back again. We watched the object for about ten minutes then it did what "Bubba" always does---it just DISAPPEARED! My daughters' mother-in-law is visiting from Kentucky and unaware of our Bubba sightings. She told my daughter she'd been watching the same red lights for the last two nights but didn't say anything because she thought it was just a weather balloon or something we commonly have in our skies here in Arizona.

Watching from our backyard in Chandler, Arizona we couldn't see the triangular shape but we observed the pulsating red & amber lights for ten minutes until they disappeared before our eyes.

tHIS IS A CORRECTION TO A REPORT THAT I MADE LAST WEEK. WHEN WE SAW THE LIGHT MY WIFE AND NEIGHBOR WERE BEHIND ME AND THEY WSAW THE OUTLINE OF A CRAFT THAT WAS CIGAR SHAPED. (I WAS CONCENTRATING ON THE GREEN LIGHT) THE GREEN LIGHT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CRAFT(FROM THE SIDE) THE OBJECT WAS BETWEEN 3 TO 4 FEET LONG.

THE TWO LIGHTS EMITTED FROM THE REAR WERE LIKE WHITE BUBBLES FROM A PROPULSION DEVICE. ??? I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE TALKED WITH THEM PRIOR TO THE REPORT.

Small EmeraldGreen light moving at approximately 5-8 MPH in a straight line-Emitted two or three White flashes to rear This Small Fireball appeared from over the top of my neighbors home ( 2 Story ) The Object apppeared to be similar in size to a bottle rocket but the (flame ?) was green and it went in a straight line. The line was paralel with the ground and moving about 5-8 miles per hour. It emitted two or three white light flashes from the rear after the first 30 feet of the sighting and then continued on between two houses at the same rate of speed.

My wife ((name deleted)) age 58, my grandson ((name deleted)) 4 3/4 Yrs. old Myself (((name deleted)) age 58, and one of our new nieghbors approxmmately 34 yrs old saw it. The neighbor immediately said it reminded her of one of the Ufo Show sightings that she had once seen.

FYI Two years ago my wife and I saw an object similar in color and size move from above our SUV Front window down across the hood ( similar to a plane coming down for a quick landing )and then dissapeared at eye level. (It was Also a Small green light).

Bright white flashes of light south of Chandler. Very slowly moving from West to East, at a high altitude. My husband and I watched it for 25 minutes and timed the flashes, which were exactly every 10 seconds.

We guessed it to be about ten miles up. The object hovered in the same area, moving back and forth as though it were inching across the sky. We watched through our binoculars but could not see any particular shape.

The flashing light was round, large and extremely bright. After 25 minutes the flashes stopped.

Two Stationary Bright Red Lights Over Phoenix Area At approximately 8:00 pm I was taking a walk with my children when two very bright red lights drew my attention. These lights were stationary and appeared north of Chandler toward the airport. The lights were extremely bright red and one was slightly higher than the other.

Suddenly the one that was highest just disappeared and a few minutes later the other also just disappeared. I did not see it move at all. Apparently quite a few people noticed these lights as it was on the nightly news.

Red Glowing Light seen over Chandler, AZ. We saw a brightly glowing red light in the southwestern sky. Looked to be round in shape.

It stayed stationary for about 15 minutes, before slowing disappearing into the clouds. We saw at least 2 commercial aircraft pass close to the red glowing object. 2 people at this location saw the object.

Neither has ever seen a UFO in the past. We have never seen a light in the sky glowing so bright and red.

Full Report Text:

Red light that remained still high above us for over 15 minutes and then dissapeared. A single red light in the sky. The light stayed in one place for over 15 minutes.

I had time to go and get my video camara, call the local media and a friend and also video tape the red light. The light blinked a few times and either faded or flew straight up above the clouds and out of sight. I am a Police Officer and the following week, I believe on August 15th, callers reported seeing red lights in East Mesa and we were given this information on our car computers.

The callers reported that they were UFO's. The Helicopter unit reported that they had seen the lights and thought that they were 2 helicopters flying in tandom.

5th video of red light in Gilbert area On July 12, 2000 we proceed with our nightly skywatch for the red UFO. It came back. I was first alerted by a local from Gilbert that it was out.

I was already recording tape but in the wrong direction of the sky. It took less than a minute to record the red UFO. This was higher in elevation than I've seen before.

I was just outside 2 minutes before the phone rang and saw nothing. The surveilance camera had the area videotaped were it should of came from. So I guess it just appears in the sky.

Again I shot more 80x to 100x video of this object. It was extremely red in color, you could see a double red lights in the viewfinder. With the naked eye could see 1 brightly lite light and a dimmer one just above it.

It didn't seem to move much while looking at it directly but the videocamera revealed alot of movement. I was looking due east when I first sighted it at 8:57 pm Angle of view about 45 degrees. At the end of the sighting I was looking SE.

The object was heading south and slightly ascending for about 10 minutes. Then it changed direction and started going straight up. When it got close to the cloud bank, it stopped for about 2 minutes.

Hovered and moved around incredibly. Then it went up into the clouds and disappeared. The next day after talking to other spotters we determined that the object was in Chandler, about 2 miles from my house and less than 1 mile for the 3 commercial jets seen flying around it.

This was one of the best sightings I had so far because it was closer to my house than any of the others so the video is much better. Tom King ((NUFORC Note: We believe the report is for August 12. PD)).

2 red UFOs over Gilbert Observed the red UFO over Gilbert for 4th time. I was broadcasting live from my backyard lastnight when "Bubba" appeared at 8:00 pm. We saw that there were two red UFOs in the sky, moving together, slowly, about 1 mile apart.

Each UFO actually had 2 or more lights inside, making it look like one object from a distance. Several commercial jets are seen crusing under the objects as they come in for a landing. The event was so incredible I took off the high powered lense to shoot wide angle shots of the UFOs and the airtraffic.

We called a list of people with cameras in the Gilbert area so others got video also. The objects appeared to be moving south and raising in altitude. They disappeared around 8:17 and were 15,000 ft or higher.

Towards the north sky, there was a red circle of light hovering motionless and without sound. My family and I wathed this red circle of light for about 2hours. During that time,my wife called one the local news station's to report the strange red light but to our disappointment the woman on the phone said they have been recieving many calls about the red circle of light and not to be concerned about it,that it was only a plane.

I don't know what it was but I can tell you it was no plane.I never seen a plane stay in one spot for two hours.My family and I took photos of the ufo with a 35mm camera.

At about 23:00 hours the red circle of light disappeared but we could still see dark round shape where the red light was. We wathed this dark image head northeast for a short while as it blended into the night sky. As I said before, I don't know what it was but I do know it was not a plane.

((NUFORC Note: Anonymous report. We wonder whether the witness is referring to a similar event that occurred on Friday, August 04, 2000. PD)).

A bright green "string of round lights"- seemed to be connected. Falling fast vertically. I was driving home from work & after I pulled into my subdivision heading east I saw a long , bright green, "string of lights" type of object to the east/southeast.

It looked like approx. 7-10 small round "balls", all green and almost like a green line or "string" connecting them. It was very bright green and was descending rapidly toward the ground vertically w/ a little bit of a curve to the "string" .

It looked like it was "crashing". It was heading down and a little to the right (south) of me. The sky was very dark & there was some lightening, but this was definitely not lightening in shape or color.

It looked like it was maybe 4-6 miles from me.

Red UFO videotaped from Chandler, looking east. About 8:13 I was out in my backyard and spotted the Red UFO again. I was looking east and it appeared to be about 10 miles away over the Apache Junction area.

I had a video camera on a tripod near by so I started taping it again. The object is heading to the south or to the right on video. I lost it when it suddenly did an 80 degree turn downward and increased speed by 3x what it was just traveling.

On the video it appears to be 2 objects close together with another object that is not lit up. This object is black and covers some of the Red UFO.

Two Red Lights Over Eastern Maricopa County, AZ on July, 25 2000 On the evening of July 25th at approximately 2015 hours I was walking my dog and first noticed a very low altitude shooting star with a very long tail moving quickly foover the southern sky, from west to east. It covered the whole sky! Shortly thereafter, I started walking east and noticed 2 bright red lights hovering over the Eastern sky. I live in the East Valley (Chandler, AZ) and under the flight path to low altitude approaches to Sky Harbor Airport, so I first thought it was a commercial aircraft, but quickly realized these two red lights were something unknown.

As I watched the lights one of them blacked out for a couple of seconds, then reappeared. Both still in the same spot. From my position, these lights were east, northeast at approximately 50 to 60 degrees from the horizon.

It did cross my mind these could be flares, but there is noway. Anyway, suddenly one of the red lights fell to the earth, leaving the other still suppended in its original position. At 2045 hours the remaining red light blacked out for good.

We do have a National Guard Unit around the Papago Buttes, but this sighting was way east of there. Anyway, please let me know if you receive any information regarding this! ((name deleted)).
