july 4TH to 5th 2013 ufo, 3 triangle shapes moving in triangle formation over nw phoenix metro area. Just after midnight on the 5th day of July 2013, while standing outside with my neighbor, I recieved a call from my husband. He was outside approx one block away with my brother.
While outside smoking a cigarette they saw objects in the sky and immediately called me. Immediately after recieving the phone call and while still on the phone, I looked into the northeast sky and saw an orangish red very bright orb. It moved fluidly and steadily and without sound.
Approx 15 seconds after, I saw another of same color and size appear from seemingly nothing and move into a paralelle position to the first object. I hung up my phone and placed it in my pocket. I turned to my neighbor, who stood in awe and asked her, "What the hell is that?" She shook her head and replied, "I have no idea…" Another 30 seconds later, a third odject appeared in the same manner as the second and lifted altitude to place its self between and above the other two objects ultimately creating a triangle.
The entire event took approx 5 minutes. The three objects moved together in triangle formation until they faded from view. I am a 32 year old female mother of 5.
Currently employed as a chef. Schooling for medical assistant and working on an aos degree. Husband is 34 yr old male currently employed with Apple.
Brother is 24 year old male unemployed and just moved to az the day before the event. Neighbor is 17 year old female and student.
