Three Arizona stories. Same day. Same region. Two witnesses watched large, amber-colored lights - one followed the lights in his truck and saw them touching ground. A third witness described three white strobe lights forming a triangle - the size of a football field - moving toward a major airport.

The following are unedited witness reports filed with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If MUFON Arizona investigates and reports back on any of these cases, I will update this page. These reports and their headlines are unedited.

 In this first case, a witness in Glendale, AZ, watches three stationary amber-colored lights, each about three to four-times the size of a jet, laid out in a straight line. And then one-by-one, the three lights disappeared.

AZ, April 28, 3 amber lights above estrella mountain

While in Glendale Arizona I was looking south toward Estrella mountain {south west of Phoenix- directly west of south mountain} right above the horizon I saw 3 amber lights that didn't move. I had seen them before I went into the store, but didn't pay that much attention, thinking they were two planes together, because it was at a distance to where I was I only glanced that way and noticed it but went into the store as I was in a hurry and on the phone at the same time. When I came out of the store around 5 minutes later, the 3 amber lights were still there, hovering, not moving since I had gone in the store, in the same exact spot and they looked like they were twinkling. there were 3 distinctive lights. What I noticed was it seem way too large to be a plane on approach to SKY HARBOR {my son and I watch planes on approach all the time} when I was watching it intensely a plane was coming from the west and dwarfed in size to these three lights. If I had to estimate the size I would say 3-4 Jet plane size wise at least. Way to big to be a regular craft. Plus they were AMBER in color, not like any normal craft lights. It was not a helicopter as it was too far to be that big. And they run with white, green and red lights. As I was watching these 3 lights I called my son on the phone to try and see it, but he was in an area that the tree lines near our house blocked the view but because I was at the field at 51st and Olive I could see clearly the area it was hovering at. I stood there for 3-4 minutes watching then I couldn't believe my eyes as the lights started to twinkle brighter then dim then the center light went out first, then the one on the right, then the one on the left. It was not a plane or helicopter, nor was it a craft I have seen at any airshow I have been to in the last 30 years. The lights were in a line next to each other but what was weird is that it was parallel, or slightly above the nearby south mountain lights but not too far above the horizon. about .5 - 10 degrees above the ground but more over the estrella mountains side of the southland. It was not like flares I have seen in the past, it was not like blimps or balloons we see here often in Arizona, it was 3 Amber lights close together but separate.

In this second case, the witness watches an amber-colored light from his porch. He decided to get in his truck and move toward it - in the direction of the Ak-chin Casino. In the distance he watched as he now obseved amber lights on the ground, with flashing emergency vehicle-style lights nearby.

AZ, April 28, 2009 - Lights seen 'spawning' more lights

Went out on my porch this evening about a hour ago and saw a bright, amber colored light in the southwest sky, low above the horizon at about 25 to 30 degrees. The light was stationary.

Earlier in the evening I was driving on my way home and saw a pair of lights that looked similar but further away as if on a distant mountain. But these lights I viewed from my porch were bright and would then dim, sometimes releasing new lights that would go dark. I then got into my truck and began to drive south towards the Ak-chin Indian comunity that was a few miles down the road which would provide me a better view. Driving south I saw about a mile behind the Ak-chin casino the lights were then on the ground (landed) with flashing orange strobe lights as if from emergency vehicles spaced about a hundred yards apart in a line parallel to the road I was on. I proceeded to make a u-turn and see the lights on the ground once I had passed the casino and lost my line of sight. On the northbound portion of my car ride I agains saw the yellow emergency lights within close proximity to the bright amber lights on the ground. I decided to head home after not finding any viable way to drive any closer.

This third case was quite different, but in the same region. A witness spots three bright, white strobe lights forming the shape of a triangle. The distance between the three points of lights, according to the witness, would make this craft the size of a football field.

AZ, April 28, 2009 - Triangle shape object whith strobe lights that changed shape.

On April 28, 2009 at 9:05 p.m., I went outside into my backyard to let my dog out when I immediately noticed in the sky three bright white strobe lights in the shape of a triangle. These lights were in a northwesterly direction, approximately one mile away and at a height about level with the moon and just west of the moon. The three strobe lights flashed in sync with one another about every second. In the space between the lights or object was about the size of a football field. These lights appeared to be hovering in the air in a perfect triangular shape with absolutely no sound. The sky was clear and calm. I did not see any stars in between the lights as if the lights were attached to a solid object.

After watching this for about two minutes, I ran over and banged on my bedroom slider to alert my wife, where she then came outside to join me. As she was coming out, the three lights moved very slowly toward the northwest, changing shape into a straight line, then into a stretched backwards letter "C" shape and added four or five more strobe lights. The strobes changed as well, with three strobes in sync with one another, then two with another two or three at the far end of the line of lights or object where it had curved into the backward C shape.

I then ran into the house to get my binoculars. When I came back out (which took about 15 seconds), I looked at the lights through my binoculars to see when the strobe lit, it illuminated a dark colored object behind the lights. My wife and I then watched this move off toward the northwest. The whole experience lasted about five to seven minutes. To make this even more interesting to me, was the fact that this object or objects were flying in the flight pattern toward the Tucson Airport and at the time, I saw no airplanes flying south in the flight pattern until the end of my siting, a plane was flying south but east of the normal flight pattern. I believe this plane may have seen the object or it was diverted.
