Bright circular light with emit foggy light on left and right sides I'm not sure what we saw last night while sitting out back with friends but we all 4 saw it. It was a solid bright circular light in the center with an emitted fuzzy foggy light on the left and right sides of the craft. No red or blue lighting at all.

It was dark out so we couldn't tell if there was any type of craft. It traveled straight like an aircraft slowly for about a minute or two then it appeared to travel upward as the emitted lighting slowly faded into the center until the entire circular light was completely gone. It took less than a minute to disappear completely.

Flying craft, illuminated, traveling horizontally at approx 2500 ft, then suddenly vertical, gone from view in 4 seconds. On Friday. April 12th at approx 8:10 PM, my wife and I and 2 of our friends were on the patio, when one of us pointed to the sky and told the others "what is that?".

We all looked up to see what we thought was an airplane, but noticed there was no flashing white or red lights as airplanes normally have. The object was moving in a direction from North to South, and was close enough for us to see a strange "white haze" or glow surrounding the craft as it moved. The sky in this part of the Arizona desert was very clear, with no storm clouds, fog, or even a hint of humidity that would explain the white haze or glow emanating from the craft.

We watched the object fly horizontally like a normal plane until it was just slightly above our heads, then started going vertical in an instant. Within maybe 4 second, the craft got smaller and smaller until gone. Strangely, the glow or haze surrounding the craft disappeared almost instantly as it went vertical and the object was more like a white dot in the sky…….

getting smaller as it went out of sight.

Bright white with some translucency (seeing “aura” listed as a characteristic below is appropriate). One of us saw some red, also. My husband was sitting in the hot tub and saw a bright white object appear in the sky.

It did not move from one point to another. He called to me and I brought out our cellphones & binoculars. It was still light enough outside that no stars were visible but this light was very bright.

Clouds covered it periodically but it would be visible again when the clouds moved. As the sky darkened and we began to see stars, it eventually dimmed enough that we didn’t see it. Or, perhaps it was hidden by clouds for long enough that we missed seeing it again.

We did not see any signs of it moving. I think most people wouldn’t have noticed it. My husband likes looking for satellites when he’s in the hot tub so he’s often looking at the sky.

It was the brightness/whiteness that caught his eye.

I could tell from my backyard there was a big red object hovering in the sky, we observed it for over 20 minutes and took pictures. I first noticed the large red object over the Catalina mountains that I have a clear view of from my backyard. It was hovering and was way up in the air.

As I watched it was leaving faint trails from its motion, so it must have been using propulsion. After watching the object for several minutes and trying to get my phone to get a picture of it and not having success, I called my husband to come outside and watch this thing too. His phone is new and has a better camera and his picture are much better then the ones I took.

The object started to head directly east over the mountains and was too far for us to see, so I got binoculars and could see it again. It then started going north and suddenly did a quick descent behind the mountain and we could not see any longer.

Metallic UAP or Balloon Hello NUFORC, At around noon on 11/18/2023 I heard two low-flying fighters outside of our house. As I was standing in our backyard, I saw two F-35's fly around the house three times over the course of 15-30 minutes. I don't know why there were F-35's here, but Davis-monthan AFB in Tucson is not a fighter base (I was stationed there from 2007-2011).

I don't want to assume too much, but the nearest F-35's I know about are stationed at Luke AFB in PHX. Sometimes they will have an airshow or other host nation partners' pilots will train here with some of the U.S.

pilots. Either way, when I heard the aircraft outside it prompted me to investigate. As I was observing them I witnessed two other high-flying jets (higher than 20k ft approximately) that were streaming across the sky.

This prompted me to grab my telescope (25mm lens) so I could get a better look at them. As I followed one of them with my telescope I observed a UAP floating in the background (not following the aircraft, but caught my eye). Light reflected off of it like it was metallic.

I continued to observe the object for approximately twenty minutes until inclement weather prevented me from observing it anymore. It was moving, but it was very slow. I know because I had to adjust me telescope every minute or so.

The photos that I took are through my 25mm lens facing west by southwest of our backyard. Even when light wasn't reflecting off of it, it was hard to make out what it was (that's how far it was). I don't want to assume what it was, but I attached some photos that I took from my telescope.

It is difficult to take photos with my phone through the lens, but the photos do reflect what I saw. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns. If you call please leave a voicemail so I know.

Respectfully, Scott.

See attached Date – June 10, 2023 First, I heard loud helicopter rotors The sound was coming from North of my location, very loud. I noticed the Blackhawk first and then as it banked to the right around the UAP I noticed the ORB It was over the mountains at about 5000 feet in elevation After the Blackhawk flew about halfway around the object the ORB began to rise fairly slowly at first and then disappeared straight up. The Blackhawk stayed around for 10-15 minutes, apparently still looking for the ORB and then flew south.

The ORB was not particularly large, about the same diameter as the fuselage of the helicopter. It was very reflective, metallic, it almost looked like it was chrome. I called the Oro Valley police, they declined to take a report.

Red Colored Cylinder approx 2000' to 3000' above ground, traveling slowly westward. Red colored cylinder traveling east to west about 2000' above ground, maybe up to 3000'. No wings, not tail stabilizer, no sound, it was silent.

Traveled a bit slow but steady, maybe about 80 or so mph, like the speed of a cessna 172. Completely red in color, nothing sticking out from the body of the cylinder, it was just a clean, red, cylinder. The time was approximately 8:40 am to 8:50 am.

I was in my back yard feeding and watering wild birds. The red cylinder was distinct with no surrounding haze or aura. It was flying slowly east to west and with no sound or any engine noise.

No other aircraft were around at that time. It seemed to be about the size of an automoble, maybe 20' or so long and red in color.

Lighted object traveling north bound at a high elevation and at a high rate of speed curved to the Northeast While driving north bound on La Cholla Blvd. in Oro Valley, AZ I noticed a bright light in the sky ahead of me moving slowly. Suddenly, a smaller and more dimly lit object came from the Southwest towards the brightly lit object.

At first, I thought it was a fast-moving jet on an intercept course with the bright object, which I eventually recognized as a plane or helicopter, but the dimly lit object (UFO) passed by the first object and kept moving to the north at an extremely high rate of speed. The UFO was traveling so fast that it literally went from somewhere over my head to the horizon in a matter of about 10 seconds. As the UFO approached the horizon to the north, it arced towards the northeast and disappeared over the horizon.

I was in the process of taking a picture of the brightly lit plane or helicopter when the UFO appeared. I took a picture, but only the lights of the two objects can be seen with no detail other than the amount of light they were emitting.

My mom and I saw the sky move. I was taking my dogs out in the backyard to go to the bathroom when I looked up to the sky. It looked as though all the stars that are usually there were moving South, then it occurred to me that these were indeed UFO’s heading south in a pattern, one after another.

Not in a straight line but a pattern I can’t describe.They covered the whole night sky. It was the strangest thing.

I counted up to 30 and lost count from there but for 10 minutes I stood there trying to comprehend what I was witnessing as i’ve never seen such a large amount / a steady stream of them going in the same direction. I brought my mom outside, who doesn’t believe in UFO’s and she just stood there in a trance, I kept saying look at them all and she was silent, and said “wow, there’s so many of them!” They were very high, circular ,white glowing dots in the sky which would appear to the naked eye as looking like a satellite moving, but the speed and sudden stop and then go faster and in a different direction. I’ve been a believer and witnessed many UFO’s sightings in my life, but nothing compares to the amount, the sudden quickness and disappear and reappearing, all heading South.

First flew SW to near Cataline Mtns. Unknown flew SE with bright, white flashing light on top & flashing red light on bottom, to near Catalina Mtn, stopped, moved longitudinally back & forth a short distance, then flew north along western edge of Catalina Mtns, stopped no red flashing light but a bright flashing white light, then continued northward along edge of mtns. No green light, only white & also red flashing lights.

Then flew NW and joined by a second unknown with bright flashing light on top and a flashing red light on bottom. Second unknown flew toward Catalina Mtns. First unknown started flying south toward Tangerine Road.

No sound, no green light, when moving horizontally it appeared to be on a rail, i.e., no vertical change in elevation except when it appeared to drop toward the ground.

Speed varied, at times very fast, at other times slowed to a stop and immediately traveled backward a short distance. Longer flights appeared to be approximately 1800 mph +/- based off time lapse and approx distances. Very smooth flight, again, appeared to be on a rail with no vertical deviation except when it dropped deliberately in elevation.

Took video. Nearby houses at times blocked view of unknown. It was dark, however, when it traversed westward north of us, body of the unknown was slightly visible.

From the side it appeared to be cylinder or oval shaped. At beginning 1925 hours the unknown appeared to be wrapped within a translucent sphere around it. It appeared to not have this later.

Not sure if there was actually a translucent wrap or it was a reflection but it was definitely all around it. At the beginning there was an apparent commercial aircraft flying westward at a much higher elevation. I have had a somewhat similar experience in the military at VAFB at an icbm silo.

I wish to not be published on this please.

Disk shaped UFO with center lights hovers over mountains before lights go out in rapid succession. Three days after first sighting of UF0, I saw disk shaped UFO in a different area over mountains. It was rather large.

Close together smaller circular lights at the center. It was rotating but hovering or moving very slowly. Suddenly, each light strung like pearls on a necklace went out in rapid succession before either disappearing or going completely dark.

Horizontal, flying Light seen in night sky going slow at first before making a sharp turn at incredible rate of speed. Light seen high over Catalina Mountains. Object moved horizontal from left to right from my vantage point.

Object suddenly changed course, making a sharp turn at high rate of speed from right to left from my vantage point where it disappeared leaving a streak like the tail of a meteor only it’s trajectory was horizontal.

On 6/3/19 at approximately 9 pm, two women were outside. An object in the sky caught their attention. It was a large diamond shaped glowing object that seemingly had large ray like objects surrounding it.

It was stationary thru out the night.

Bright, rectangular, motionless object over Oro Valley/Tucson Bright rectangular object that reflected the sunlight and appeared that it may be made of metal? It stayed perfectly still for the entire time I was outside (about 15 minutes). As the sun set the object was still there but less visible due to the sunlight not shining on it. A still photo and video were taken.

Bright white sphere traveling east to west. Very bright sphere sighted traveling from west due east. Object appeared slightly larger than Mars.

With a nearly full moon in the sky it was very to estimate objects brightness (much brighter than any star). The object disappeared beyond the Catalina mountain range.

Three pulsating lights scene around Tucson AZ My cousins and I stepped out side at 8:20 PM in Oro Valley (which is about a 45 minute drive north of Tucson) AZ just to look at planets. It was partially hazy but almost completely clear around Mt. Lemon of the Santa Catalina Range north of the city.

As soon as we stepped out of the house I heard a high pitched screech coming from the south (from Tucson). It was fairly high pitched but sounded like a commercial airliner. The aircraft(s) were in the haze traveling north.

Since it was loud (so most likely low) and traveling in a heading not a major population center I will assume that they were A-10 Warthogs hailing from Davis Monthon Airforce base in Tucson (they have exposed turbofan jet engines and sound similar to commercial aircraft). I only saw on faint pair of lights and they were flying west by northwest and probably at low altitude. As the noise subsided, I looked towards Mt.

Lemon and noticed ONE bright pulsating light coming from the northeast. It was brightly pulsating and at high altitude, pulsating at random intervals (sometimes many times in a second and sometimes one every two or three seconds). When it pulsated it appeared that their were green and red lights (one of each) in addition to many very small white lights on the sides of the objects.

I am sure that this was not an airplane as the red and green lights (like those on the sides of airplanes to indicate their port and starboard sides) as they were not constant and the white lights were not a planes landing lights as they were not constant or pulsating in constant time. Although it was hazy in most of the sky, the sky around Mt. Lemon and the rest of the Santa Catalina mountains was clear as the moon and numerous stars were visible while only the brightest stars were visible in the rest of the sky.

The craft appeared to spawn, as it sudd! enly appeared next to a star that I was viewing to the northeast. The craft travelled very quickly as it was able to transverse the entire mountain range in the course of about two minutes. As it progressed its strobing light gained in intensity.

Although I can not say for sure, I would speculate that it flew at high altitude and was far to the north, most likely directly over Globe AZ. After about 30 seconds or so, a second identical object appeared behind and closer to the horizon, in relation to the first object. They were in constant formation and had a tethered appearance to it.

The objects were definitely not satellites (as I've heard of old tethered satellites) as they were very bright (brighter than the surrounding stars). Right before I went in the house to get the whole family to see (as only three other people were witnessing it) a third light appeared. The object was identical to the others but was far in front of the other two and was at an altitude (or locatio! n as I can't really speculate on its hight) in between that of! the oth er objects.

The objects combined form a V shape or that of an isosceles triangle with a very small angle made between the first two objects and the third one in front. When I came back out with the rest of the family about one minute later the objects and any traces of them were gone.

Two golden-yellow orbs seen from Oro Valley, Arizona to the west-southwest on the evening of April 14th, 2008. My best friend (17) and I (19) turned left (west) onto Strada Patania Street from 1st Avenue in Oro Valley, Arizona (suburb of Tucson) and just under Orion’s Belt were two golden-yellow orbs about 5 times as wide as a typical star from ground’s view. The orbs were completely motionless, but were gone in the matter of a few seconds.

I stared at them in confusion for about 2-3 seconds and out of no where, the orb on my right disappeared and immediately after that, the left orb disappeared into nothingness. We both looked at each other in disbelief and excitement and before I knew it, goose bumps covered my body. By the way, neither of us drink nor do drugs (a question our parents asked us after we ran inside and told them what had just happened).

I kept driving to the end of the road so we could possibly get a better look and when we reached a clearing, there was nothing. The two orbs were in the west-southwestern part of the sky and appeared to be over the town of Marana, Arizona, but could’ve been further to the west.

3 bright orange ovals in a triangular formation with red lights around them I woke up at 12:45 am to use the bathroom and noticed three orange stars outside my bathroom window. They were in a triangle formation. Curious, I went to get my glasses.

When I got back to the window one of the "stars" started to move towards me, and another went up towards the moon. The third one stayed in a hovering posistion. The one closest to me took on an oval shape and was bright orange.

As it got closer, I could see red lights around its perimeter. This one was traveling across the skyline and soon out of sight.
