Taking picture and saw light from corner of my eye. Looked up and saw it travel from south to north.

Full Report Text:
Bright lights hovering over Sun City West, Az.
Object at first appeared to be a fixed object hovering over sun city west, AZ. Looking from the west towards the east.
It had bright white light that changed from greenish blue to red. Its movement was irratic, moving straight up and down in the sky. It started upwards and moved from above the tree line to overhead in the night time sky.
It stopped and hovered with slight movement to the right and left. The object slowly decended back towards the tree line where It hovered again before dissapearing behind the trees.
Full Report Text:
One small round white light or craft moving through the clear afternoon Suprise, Arizona sky.
At approximately 2:20pm on 5/13/2014 in Surprise, AZ, I was laying on a raft in my pool looking at the sky.
The sky was completely clear blue no clouds.
I saw one small round white dot or light moving steadily through the sky in a line. It wasn’t moving very fast. It looked like it could have possibly been spinning or moving in small circles at times.
It seemed like it was very high up in the sky. Higher then a plane or bird would fly.
I asked my husband what it was.
It took him a minute to spot it. Neither of us could identify what it was. I’ve never seen anything like it.
I continued to watch it for about 5-7min. It went in a straight line, then seemed to stop spin in place in small circles then turned and continued moving in a straight line again until I could no longer see it.
The object left no trail and made no sound.
I noticed someone else had posted something similar to what I saw on 4/3/2014 in Surprise AZ. What they described sounded exactly like what we saw.
Full Report Text:
While outside, a slightly arched line of approximately 8 lights were seen. Colors were white, green, and red and were alternating colors in no particular order or rhythm. Objects were low flying and fairly slow, and no sound.
Neighborhood dogs were barking, uncharacteristically. The lights moved from view in our backyard over our house, so moved to the front yard where they could continue to be seen. Ran inside to get a camera and were gone when returned.
Full Report Text:
Not an object; strange contrail-type cloud "fingers" stretching from east to west.
I did not see an object. I saw a strange finger-like cloud with nine "contrail-like" fingers stretching across the sky from east to west.
I watched for 30 minutes and two of the contrails faded away.
