An airline pilot out walking his dogs observed three spheres in the sky that formed a triangle about 40 miles southeast of Tucson, according to witness testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

The three spheres "converged" at about 60,000 feet.

In a second case from September 23, a Washington witness describes something similar in the night sky.

This Washington witness recounts some interesting lights in the sky - lights flashing and then disapearing - and lights splitting into two lights. Then two lights "traveling in unison" appear about 100 to 150 feet in the sky and hundreds of feet apart. They are moving very slowly and no sound is heard. The neighborhood dogs begin barking and a low humming sound is heard. The witness then realizes "that the area between these lights was literally blocking out the stars as it moved between them and my perspective. It was huge! The shape appeared triangular, but my perspective and the pure blackness of the object against the black night sky made this difficult to be sure of. This shape travelled slowly across the sky for perhaps three minutes and then vanished, or at least became no longer visible to me."

The testimony of this witness follows the Ariziona case.

Following is the unedited witness testimony from MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If MUFON investigates and reports back on these cases, I will update this page.

AZ, September 24, 2009 - 3 spheres encircle each other and split to form right triangle, 40 miles Southeast Tucson. MUFON Case # 19630.

I went outside with dog. When I looked up I saw 1 bright sphere and light,green in color heading northwest towards me. The were two other dimmer lights converging on the sphere.

Direction of objects 40 mi southeast of Tucson and Davis Monthan AFB.

I initially thought it was an airliner heading for the "Suns Arrival" into Phoenix airport. I had noticed that there were no additional position lights, and the two other ojects were dimly lit with a slight reddish silver tint.

As a trained airline pilot, I found it odd that there was no starboard green or port side red, and the white marker beacon was non-existent. This got my attention.

Once the objects converged upon the brightest, the two dimmer spheres encircled it several times, and then dramtically increased in brightness. After several "spins" at a high rate of speed (and it seemed they were accelerating in the rotations)in extremely close proximity to one another, the brightest (Green) remained stationary, while the two other spheres accelerated to what appeared to be "pre-set points" to form a perfect right triangle in unison.

Once the other two spheres broke from the green, the green sphere went dim. The spheres were stopped on "points" estimated at 40 miles apart. Estimated altitude of objects 60,000 feet. Size of all objects at estimated altitude would approximate the visible size of an MD80 at 30000 feet of altitude.

The spheres remained stationary, yet the right triangle began to rotate slowly in a clockwise motion while maintaining spacing and triangular shape. Once the sphere encircled the green, and broke for the "points" the neighborhood dogs, coyotes, and even my dog began to howl, bark, and whine. This was also pretty strange. The dogs and coyotes continued to howl for about 8 minutes, my dog was very nervous and "whining" and wanted to go in.

I watched for several minutes, and called my son out to look. He immediately spotted the triangle and noticed a slow clockwise rotation of the triangle using the green object as a reference point. The objects maintained what appear to be a perfect formation. I went inside, and came out about 10 minutes later and the "Triangle of objects" was gone.

There were 3 very distinct objects, and very discernable as "spheres". There was no sound audible to my ears, and the neighborhood was void of city noises, but "something" clearly agitated every dog and coyote around for 8 minutes or so. After the objects disappeared, the animals quited down.

My feelings after watching these objects are of wonderment. I was amazed at the sheer speed and the acceleration of these objects. It took them maybe 4 seconds to travel from the green object to "set points" estimated at 40 miles apart, and then come to a very distinct " on a dime" stop. The precision and timing of the maneuver was nothing short of amazing. The only odd feeling that had was the reations of the animals. The noises that they were making were not your "normal" barks and coyote "yips". It was just odd.

WA, September 23, 2009 - series of lights and shapes at different altitudes trajectories. MUFON Case # 19612.

I was in my front yard star-gazing with a pair of field-glasses when I noticed a satellite traveling generally south to north at approximately 70 degrees. As I watched it, a flashing light appeared in that general vacinity of the sky,and although it was still very high up, it was clearly much closer than the satellite I had beeen watching.

This light was moving at a fairly high rate of speed, comparable to a jet liner. The light was yellowish and flashed very brightly. This light flashed five times as it moved across the sky, and then it simply stopped flahing, and was no longer visible - this occured on a very clear night, so there was nothing to obstruct my line of sight to the light.

Within two or three seconds of this flashing light "going off", another light appeared in the same specific area of the sky, but much higher, and travelling at an incredibly high rate of speed. Soon after this light appeared it split into two lights and continued at the same relative speed as they angled away from each other. I had to choose to watch one through my field-glasses as they split up, and it was hard to follow as it was moving so quickly - it crossed the sky in no more than 2 seconds; an then faded out of my vision.

After the one faded out, I tried to find the other, and could not. But; as I was searching the sky around the area where the first light had faded out, I saw what appeared to be two lights travelling in unison but separated by a considerable distance - these lights were perhaps 100-150 feet high in the sky and were at least hundreds of feet apart.

These "two lights" were moving in tandem and were travelling incredibly slowly; just creeping across the sky, and making no apparent noise. It wasn't until I noticed the neighborhood dogs barking like crazy that I noticed a low, but very potent, hum.

As I watched these lights, not sure what they were, I realized that the area between these lights was literally blocking out the stars as it moved between them and my perspective. It was huge! The shape appeared triangular, but my perspective and the pure blackness of the object against the black night sky made this difficult to be sure of. This shape travelled slowly across the sky for perhaps three minutes and then vanished, or at least became no longer visible to me.
