We saw 2 lights that seemed to be a helicopter but we didn't hear any noise. There was no flashing wing or tail light. Just an orangish light.
I was going to take a picture or movie with my phone, but didn't think of it fast enough.

Intermittent pulsing, green, stationary, then moved an hour later. I Woke up from sleep at 3:30 am and noticed my phone was dead (odd because it was fully charged a few hours ago) I go to the outlet near my bedroom window and happen to look out. It is an east facing window.
I saw a bright white light that I pushed off as a star. I went to the kitchen and back and looked out again. I now saw the light now flashing red and blue.
I think ok its a plane. I decide to look one more before I get back in bed. It is now pulsing green with almost laser looking lights all around except for the top left corner also pulsing green in a clockwise circular pattern.
I was shocked and rushed outside. I had no way to photograph because of the dead phone. I watched until 4:15 it was stationary the entire time and would pulse green with long starburst formation then go back to a plain white light and sometimes flash red and blue in the center.
Like I said, this was stationary the entire time until I went in at 4:15 am . I looked out one more time from my window and it was no longer visible directly from my window. I crouched down and the green light was now directly above my apartment building(still stationary).
I went to bed and had strange dreams and thought I was hearing loud noises all night.

Strange three light object seen swooping over a field in Chandler, AZ. I am a truck driver who was driving in the state of Arizona on interstate 10 east bound between mile marker 181 and 182. I initially noticed one circular bright light in the sky swooping down over a field then back into the sky at a high rate of speed.
As I noticed the light coming back around repeating the the same motion, I was closer to the object than before. As I noticed the object swoop down almost touching the field only one light was on, then a second, and then a third circular light appeared. Each light was evenly spaced in a straight line.
As this was happening, I turned my head out the window and looked back as the object was ascending back up toward the sky. With the lights pointing up I was able to see the shape of this object. The shape of this object resembled a large rectangular wing similar to a wing on an old time wwII plane.
The side of this object opposite of the three lights had the middle part of this wing purtrud out in the center of the wing like a tab. So that side was not completely straight, The other side with the lights was straight with three large white circular lights in a row. I attempted while watching this to take a picture but was unable to while driving.
I have never seen anything like this during my 15 years on the road as a truck driver and wanted to report this and hopefully get a logical explanation on what this may have been. I have a sketch of this object as well that I can mail to you. ((NUFORC Note: We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be unusually eloquent in his description of the object, and quite sober-minded.
We suspect that he is a highly capable, and highly reliable, witness. We have corrected the date to read July 14. PD)).

Exiting of the freeway, my son told me to look out to the west kind of higher in the sky. We saw an amber circular light blink out, then blink in a little south of the original light, blink out again, further south, then it blinked out again and two amber circular lights blinked in further south, then out and then a single light blinked in further south, blinked out and the sighting was done. No aircraft lights, seemed to move in a straight line, no trails or falling movement and not in the direction of the Goldwater range.
This was looking out towards SE Mesa/Gilbert, due east from our vantage point on the McQueen exit off of the 202 E.

Orange orbs in southeastern Phoenix sky, March 20, 2017, around 8-9 pm. I was sitting on my balcony last night around 8pm-9pm. I looked up in the southeast sky and started seeing orange reddish balls of light.
Some in formation others on their own. They were going from west to east and what looked like up as opposed to down but gradually not fast. I ran inside to get my mother and her phone to take pictures.
It lasted about 15 minutes to half an hour. My mother saw the same objects. No reports on the news or internet.
Others must have seen them they were very apparent.

3 Bright Red Lights in Triangular Formation I saw 3 bright red lights flying in a triangular formation very low to the ground and in complete silence. The objects were very low to the ground and heading west over Chandler. The red objects would move closer to one another and then further apart while maintaining a triangular pattern varying from equilateral, to iscoseles, to scalene, in nature.
The frequency at which these lights were blinking were mutually exclusive. They all seemed to make up part of a whole, but they were emanating light on their own accord with complete autonomy. I immediately ruled out radar on a commercial aircraft because of the nature of the blinking of these objects.
After a minute, they disappeared out of my line of vision. Shortly after, 2 helicopters appeared to give chase to whatever this thing was.
Full Report Text:
Four, red white blue and green, glowing objects flew overhead. Did not make a sound. Me and my girlfriend were in my backyard, sitting on our patio furniture facing west.
I first observed at a distance, facing west, a white sphere. Then right behind it I saw green sphere, then red then blue. I first I thought the white sphere was the light from a plane or helicopter.
This is common where we live. However, as the objects got closer, I was expecting a sound but never heard any. I kept looking at them because had never seen such glowing colored lights on any aircraft before.
They were not blinking. More resembling glowing balloons. Were moving way too fast to be just drifting.
I caught on video from my gf's cell but was hard to make out. Only some of the green glowing object could be seen. It appeared to me that they were not connected together, but more like flying in a group, with no visible pattern that I could tell.
They flew overhead, not making any sound, and continued into the distance to the east keeping the same pace. ((NUFORC Note: Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD)).

3 Large Orange lights hover over Chandler, AZ. Around 8:20 PM, January 28th, 2017, in Chandler, Arizona, I walked to the mailbox and notice 3 large orange lights hovering above. They were group in a triangular shape, not moving for around for ~1 or 2 minutes.
Next thing I know, 2 shoot off and disappear, while the 3rd light stays behind for about another minute, before disappearing, as well. During this time, it was easy to distinguish airplanes flying in the distance.

One round ball of fire. Bright reddish light with darker red undulating 'aura' around it. It seemed to be moving upwards, getting smaller.
It eventually began to fade and went out as if extinguished.
