Chandler, Arizona UFO Sightings in 2011

Full Report Text:

Large bright "star" moving slowly then changing directions and making jumpy movements. The sky was very clear, no clouds. Stars were very visible because there are not that many city lights in our area.

This "star" seemed to stand out, so I started to watch it. I noticed it was moving, but very slowly. It was heading west.

There were no flashing lights like that of an aircraft, and it wasn't twinkling like a star. It just appeared as a very bright star. I noticed it stop, then change direction and head south.

The ufo stopped again, and started making jumpy movements. It would quickly move in a small circle, then go through a series of zig zags. After watching for approximately an hour, it would repeatedly travel north and south while making it's jumpy movements.

We noticed the shape of the light coming off the object would change like it was rotating or something. It would get very bright and round, then change to a long shape, and finally go back to it's original dimmer shine. We have never noticed anything like this before.

Our! thoughts at first was the ISS, but the movement of the ufo are not that of the space station. It did not continue in a slow straight line as if it were in orbit. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

PD)).

Observed a grey unidentified rectanular object in the sky that paused and then moved quickly. While heading north on Rt. 87 saw rectangular grey object to the far left of the road approximately flying at a height of a blimp.

This object was not a blimp, and had squared corners. Moving from east to west, at a good rate of speed, then stopped, remained at that location about 30 seconds, and then almost disappeared to an area farther west where we again saw it. I thought it was a blimp, covering a football game until I saw the rectangular shape and asked my wife what that was.

Broad daylight, grey rectangular craft no means of support or propellant. No windows visible.

Tear Dropped Shaped Object and Orb Cluster Observed In Arizona At approximately 6am I saw an object between east and southeast of my position. The sun had come up over the horizon and the sky was lit up with no clouds in that area of the sky. Initially I thought the object looked too bright, to big, and oddly shaped to be any standard object found in the sky.

There were no other visible objects in the morning sky. The object was approximately 30-40 arc-degrees above the horizon. I grabbed a pair of binoculars to inspect further.

Using the binoculars I saw a tear dropped shaped object that was approximately 10-20 times the size of a planet when viewed through the same binoculars. The tear drop was orientated with the largest part of the shape towards the zenith and the narrowest point of the shape towards the horizon. The shape wasn’t a perfect tear drop.

Along right hand side from the mid-point to the bottom there was a slight inward notch on the form. The object was a solid luminescent bluish white color with no interior features and fairly bright, possibly as bright as Venus maybe brighter. Along the upper right edge of the shape the color was a little different being a very vibrant violet-blue in color, almost like light coming from a prism.

I watched the object for approximately 40 minutes in this state. During that time it appeared to move a short distance through the sky as if it was in a fixed position (i.e.

Earth’s rotation was moving it through the sky). I wanted to rule out any planets being in the area so I went into the house to look up sky charts. After looking at the star charts and ruling out the possibility of any planets being in that position I returned outside.

This was approximately 6:40am. At that time the tear drop shaped object was gone and there were two other objects in that area. My assumption is that the tear drop shaped object broke apart into these objects, but without seeing the transition I can’t say with certainty.

The two new objects were approximately 3-4.5 arc-degrees apart from each other. One was slightly below and to the left of the other.

The upper most object appeared to be a reddish orange object that changed shapes during the time that I observed. It was approximately 1/5th the size of the original tear drop shaped object. It brightness was significantly less than that of the tear dropped shaped object.

It kept changing shapes at one point it looked like Saturn with a ring around it, then it changed to a circle, then to half circle. After that it appeared to rotate between circle, half circle, and an oval shaped object. The second object appeared to be a cluster of small individual white orbs.

The orbs within the cluster moved around in a chaotic fashion. Every once in a while an orb would shoot up towards the zenith from the cluster. It would travel for about 10 seconds or so in a slow, straight, trajectory before it faded out.

I studied the orb cluster for several minutes watching this same activity repeat itself until the cluster could no longer be seen. I then switched back to the reddish orange object. I observed it for several more minutes.

It continued to cycle shapes, circular, oval, half circle, before I couldn’t see it anymore. The event lasted till approximately 6:55am. I have spent some time studying the daytime and nighttime sky, as an amateur astronomer.

My daytime profession is that of an engineer.

Bright Red Light in Sky in Southeast Phoenix Area I live in the Northwest Chandler area, near Phoenix, and while leaving my apartment heading to our local store I noticed a bright red light in the eastern sky. I asked my girlfriend, "What is that?" We both stared at the red light for about 15-20 seconds trying to make sense of what we are seeing. I glanced back at my girlfriend to question the sighting as possibly a helicopter when it moved slowly east for 2-4 seconds.

It slightly flickered as if it was pulsing and disappeared into the night sky. The light source was bright red and unnaturally large to be a star or planet. Since living in the city, the light pollution tends to overpower most stars/planets, this one seemed to dominate the night sky.

I would approximate its distance at 500-700 feet in the air. No audible sound was heard.
