Full Report Text:
Green, glowing saucer shaped object that paused , then speeded to the west. I saw a green, glowing saucer shaped object as I was walking south. It was slightly to the east.
It moved slightly, paused, then took off to the west very rapidly. The whole event took only a little longer than a second.
Full Report Text:
Light appearing in the north and flying south in the Phoenix sky. The object I saw was flying south at a very high speed. I first saw it was an airplane but this one was flying very high and did not have the red blinking lights all airplanes have and there was no noise coming from it.
When it disapeared into the clouds there was an additional flash of light about ten times bigger than the object. This flash did not come from the object itself. This flash of light looked like one of those spotlights they use for promotions but it was not fully round and it flashed for about 2 seconds.
All I want to know is if somebody else in Tempe, Chandler, or Scotsdale saw the same thing. As I said, it flew south so people in the Casa Grande, Arizona area would have to have seen the same thing.

It looked like a cat paw on fire. On the way back from work me and my wife noticed something like the bottom of a shuttle when its taking off. It looks like a cat paw on fire, it was pretty high but it never moved from when we noticed it we pulled up to our place and it remained on the same spot for a few seconds then it moved upward where you can see the paw disapear.
((NUFORC Note: We spoke at length with this witness, and we found him to be sincere, lucid, and quite convincing. PD)).

Fuzzy triangle sidewinds Arizona night sky Went outside to stargaze before bed, looked west to see the constellation Orion. Both of us then noticed an object almost directly overhead moving to the east in a snake-like pattern. The object moved silently, quickly, and seemingly just vanished.
No immediate air traffic in its vicinity, and it appeared to be at a consistent high altitiude. Object appeared to emit faint red light from at least 3 lights side-to-side, and appeared to be a triangular shape, although somewhat fuzzy at the edges.
Full Report Text:
Bright orange lights, that disappear and reappear. My wife and I witnessed lights in the south east using williams gateway airport as a reference point. One object was very close to the ground and 2 others at high altitude above it.
Lights would disappear and then reappear in different areas. Lights were orange the color of streetlights and about 3 times brighter than landing lights. I estimate objects at about 15 miles from williams gateway airport at about 20-30 degrees from where I was standing-except for the one which was close to the ground.
Sighting occurred in the desert. Pretty flat, and farmers fields all around.(schnepf farms) is pretty close.
No mountains around the lights, and no military ranges. I have video of the objects.
