bright bar of lights in phoenix sky 10/15/2015
driving south I saw a bar of white lights. Very bright and then it turned and i saw like a airplane silver or grey. I'm near airforce base and see planes all the time.
I was driving south and lost it, but also saw 4 jets in the same area. I pulled over and could not see it or jets for 10 minutes.

Full Report Text:
Amber colored object makes 90degree turn and disappears.
While standing in my front door entryway walkway, I was looking towards the Southern night sky. Noticed an object that appeared to be much different than the stars and planets.
I continued to watch this object as it traveled true North. Object was Amber in color.
I immediately entered my home in attempt to get my wife to witness this same object.
As I returned to my previous location, I was able to locate this object in the same vicinity in the sky.
Object had appeared to have taken a 90 degree turn toward the East.
I was fixated on this object as it began to slowly fade away and disappear moments later.
Full Report Text:
Large unnatural light over white tanks.
Very large light over north end of white tanks. Stayed in same spot even while I drove from downtown Phoenix to west end of surprise.
Light was visually hovering and could be seen waving back and forth. Had 2 smaller lights on the under side that were seen sporadically. Another similar one was seen over sun city west at exact time and disappeared with no trace.
7 Air Force planes were seen flying in direction of the one over the mountains and it disappeared once they were in range. Usually only 2 AF planes fly at a time out here and to have 7 at once proves something was not right.
Full Report Text:
Round disk flat bottom with a white aura around it.
I was in the back county taken picture of jeeps coming down a hill.
When I enlarge the picture there was a dot in the cloud I enlarge the dot to see it was a large disk in the sky and has a white aura around it and a flat bottom.
I would like some one to look at this picture.
((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).
