Full Report Text:
High altitude red star like light stationary of 5-10 minutes vanished without moving away. At approximately 8:00pm I took the trash to the dumpster in the alley. It was a beautiful night and as always I looked into the sky to view the stars.
Directly to the east and very high was what appeared to be a red star. It was stationary, it was radiant like a star it did not flash like airplane lights but it was the most beautiful red gem like light, it didn't have the dead or mechanical look of airplane lights. I watched it for a while thinking it has to move and then I'll know it is a plane, but it just stayed still.
I ran in to get binoculars and when I came back out it was still in the same location. I could not get a steady fix on it with the binoculars. Then it moved to the south in almost a floating, slow type movement.
It stopped and stayed put again, then it vanished. It did not move off into the distance, it simply vanished right where it was. I am 56 years old have never seen anything I couldn't explain until this.
It was a beautiful light laser like, somehow it had "life" to it. I also think the altitude was quite high.

I saw the low flying aircraft about 200 yards away flying at almost ground level and it had three filtered lights under the craft. On the way to work at approximately 5:30 Am I saw an aircraft flying in a Westbound direction at a low altitude (Couple Hundred Feet). It was before sunrise and the sky was still somewhat dark but beginning lighten.
The aircraft appeared to be similar in shape and 1/2 the size of a normal size airliner. I could see the left side of the aircraft and it had a shape of a tail section similar to a normal aircraft but I could not see any defined wings.The aircraft caught my attention because there were no aircraft running lights blinking on the craft and it appeared as though it was preparing to land.
(No Airport in the area) The aircraft then made a move in flight where I was able to see several lights under the craft as it was getting farther away from me. I was approximately 1/2 mile from the craft as I was drivng my car Northbound in its direction.As I got closer to the area where I saw the aircraft, I lost sight of it.
I looked to the West to see if the craft was actually making a landing in the desert to the West. When I looked in that direction, I saw for a brief second a large craft coming quickly in my direction from almost ground level and then swooping up in a upward direction back up to the sky. I could see what appeared as three dull or filtered circular shaped lights under the craft facing me as the craft darted back up in the sky.
I believe there were two white lights with a red/amber light between them under the craft.I estimate the distance between the aicraft and me to be within a couple of hundred yards from my location and there was no engine or jet noise that I could hear coming from the craft.Because I was driving at the time of the sighting,I was unable to stop because there was other traffic at the intersection that I was approaching.
It was my initial thought the aircraft that I had seen was sometype of test aircraft from some of the high tech businesses in the area (Orbital Launch Systems). I still cannot understand or identify what I saw as I was on my way to work. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.
PD)).

Hi, My name is Zeke Jimenez I am 17 years old and im from Phoenix, Arizona. I was outside observing the moon with my brand new 2 day old telescope. I was observing the moon which was located SW then I decided to take a look at jupiter which was west.
When I got my telescope to turn it west I saw 2 stars SW. They were really bright stars. THey acually looked like very close bright planets.
I then started to aim my telescope at the objects and when I looked back up one of the objects started to fade away. Then thats when i knew I was looking at something out of this world. The first UFO faded away, I wanted to take a look at them with the telescope but I hesitated and ran and banged on the window to call my sister out but instead I startled her.
I was still looking at the last UFO then it started to fade away also. By the time my sister came out it was already gone. All this happend probly within 30-60 seconds.
My heart was pounding because iv never seen anything like that in my life before. The objects were really bright. Kind of like a planet but 10 times brighter.
My telescope was still aiming where the objects were located so i took a look in the telescope. I then saw a dark Circle with a really really thin line of light from the moon. Whatever the thing was it was still there but I was guessing it was stealthed.
If there were any other reports similer to mine please contact me please. And if you have anymore questions Please contact me at ((personal information deleted)).
