Full Report Text:
Five lights seen at Loop 303 and Grand Avenue Interchange. While traveling on the 303 sometime after 8:00pm; I spotted five off white lights in the sky, north of the 303 and east of the 60/Grand Avenue interchange. It appeared to be the side or end of a very large aircraft.
The lights were off white,turned to dull yellowish color and then immediately went out. No sound. Note: I have seen the bright white orb in the sky over the White Tank Mountains over a period of 5 years from time to time.
The orb was a very bright white at times, to a dull off white and then would just dim out. I thought it was maybe a helicoptor, but the light seems odd. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Large Orb Above White Tank Mountain Range I was standing on my back patio which faces west towards the White Tank mountain range and noticed a bright amber orb just above a peak on the mountain range. It was stationary and seemed to brighten quickly at times. I thought it might be a star, it was brighter and bigger than any other star visible in the sky.
I went back inside the house for about 20min and returned to the patio to view it again and it was gone. I looked higher in the sky to see if it had changed position like a star (due to earth's rotation), but did not see anything that looked similar in size or brightness.

9:10 PM in Surprise AZ. I saw what I thought was a Cresant moon, then realized it was to small to be the moon. It was bright Gold, almost like a harvest moon.
Within 30 seconds it started to fade and then vanished. I am not sure if it was a UFO, but it was very strange, I really think others must have seen it. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information.
