large object sillouted in sunset hovering over estrella mountain. while driving down old price road to work at Intel Corp, I looked west to the sunset and saw an immense object silhouetted by the sunset. I stopped the car and tried to figure out what object was.
The object was stationary or headed straight towards me. it was in my best judgement either behind or above the southern end of Estrella mountain. torwards and slightly north the town of Maricopa.
The object had no anti collision lights whereas i could see other aircraft in the sky flashing their anti collision lights. It eas immense and I tried to figure out if it was a blimp or maybe a hot air ballon that was actually closer than I though it was. I stopped the car and tried to take pictures with my Nikon S3000 however it was very difficult to get the settings right in the failing light.
I watched the object hover until I had to report to work (about 15 min).

Lights in the sky that look like stars or satelites, but do not move accordingly per the laws of physics. First off, I am not under the influence of drugs or alcohol; and I am a rational person. I was standing in my drive way outside my house in Chandler, Arizona haveing a cigarette and watching the stars.
I then noticed one "star" moving across the sky and I thought to myslef, "Its just a satellite." but as it was moving I notice three more following behind the one I originally saw in a vertical column behind it, at the same speed. I then thought, " Just more satellites.
"; but then they stopped completely and looked just like stars again. If you call the starting point from the first "star" started moving as 0 degrees, and directly behind me as 180 degrees, they moved aproximetly 35 degrees to the west over the course of about two minutes. After that two minutes, they remained still for about another eight to ten minutes before I went inside.
It is entirely possible that this can be explained with rationality, but I have never seen this before in my 23 years ! of existence, nor have I ever heared of this happening before. I should also mention that I am a college student that is a Science/Engineering major, and know that this doesn't normally happen. Unfortunately, I did not have a camera or video camera that can effectively record light sources such as stars in the night sky.

Orbs West of Casa Grande, AZ Traveling from Chandler towards Casa Grande, AZ on I-10 East. Approx 9:30pm. Observed bright object while fueling vehicle at Wild horse pass.
Clear night with a crescent moon. Object was clearly not an aircraft. Continued to periodically watch object while driving.
At a point I lost sight of object. At one point I saw the 2 orbs in a formation and they appeared to make a sweeping turn, somewhat closer to my position, and then fade out. Periodically the objects appeared to fade in an out.
Size was relative to a streetlamp at about 300 meters. Object was bright amber in color. At one point when I viewed the object it appeared to split into 2 objects and then fade out.
Continued traveling past rest stop when object was viewable again. Lost object behind mountains and when I was up to the 387 exit, I was clearly able to see the objects again, now there were 2. Clear and bright.
I wish the cellphone I had could take pictures of the night sky. Objects were very bright. Mostly stationary.
I stopped for a few moments to look. Proceeded to the Casa Grande Municipal airport to see if anyone would know what these objects were but the terminal was closed. Formation of objects had changed, before being horizontal, now they were stacked vertically.
I tried to get the attention of a DPS vehicle to no avail. Objects are very bright but I am unable to judge the distance. Proceeded back home.
I want to ask if these objects have any correlation to the Gila Bend bombing range as I do not know.

Huge amber lights, intermittant, zooming and stationary, South of Chandler, AZ - 2200 & 2203 hours; 11MAY2010. I am a security guard on patrol in Chandler, AZ (currently). I observed the UFOs first at about 2200, and saw two through trees.
I knew they were far away based on how fast I was moving and how the objects remained still as the trees obscuring my view of them zoomed past me as I drove by them. I saw two first. They appeared as oval shaped amber lights.
My view of them vanished as houses obscured my view of them. I then proceeded with a patrol for work, then moved to another location. At this location about 8 miles North of the first, I again saw them; about 30 minutes after the first sighting.
This time I saw 8 or more of these large lights. The first illuminated, about 3/4 the size of the full moon in the sky. Then many more appeared to the left, and in a sort-of strobe like way the lights on the right went out and ones to the left came on.
They also zoomed around (though never moved far) they were not stationary. I pointed it out to some residents in a pool of the community I was at. Only one of them locked eyes on it and only saw the tail end of it.
I told them to keep their eyes open in that direction. The event occurred South of my position in Chandler, AZ. It is possible they were South of Queen Creek and Mericopa, two nearby cities.
