A momentary string of orange-yellow lights near CA-AZ border

On February 4 around 8pm Pacific I was traveling east on CA-62 just outside Earp, CA about to cross into Arizona when I saw a line of orange-yellow lights high in the sky toward the southeast. I'm sure it was an odd number (7 to 9) because first there was only one light, then more turned on two at a time on either side of the first light until there was a line of them. Then they went out 2 at a time in the opposite order until they were all gone. After maybe 5 seconds they repeated the pattern and then disappeared. Whatever it was, it appeared to be either hovering or moving very slowly. I had no reference point to establish size, but it was definitely an airborne object (or objects).

The whole thing lasted about 10 to 15 seconds.

I pulled over a few minutes later after crossing into AZ and stood outside on the side of the road looking up at the sky. I could make out airplanes and their faint smoke trails but no sign of anything unusual.




NUFORC Note:

A string of lights makes us wonder whether the objects might have been some type of flare, released from an aircraft. However, flares usually burn for more that 15 seconds, we believe. PD

2 bright orange orbs the same size arcing over the night sky near parker az

May 3, 2008 at 10:00 pm, our family was enjoying a beautiful evening on our porch of our vacation home in Parker, AZ when my sister in-law spotted some strange lights in the evening sky, she summoned us to look, and what we saw amazed us.

It was 2 large orbs in the sky, relative to the size of a full moon high in the sky. They were a perfect shaped circle, they were a bright orange and pulsated. They appeared to me to have small circles slightly less bright orange just inside the outer rim of the larger circle. They moved very slowly, in a arc across the sky. At first I thought they may have been meteors, except they moved very slowly. They stayed the exact same distance apart for the entire experience.

The first one just simply got smaller until it disappeared, and then the second one did the same thing in the exact same place. Then they were gone.

Four lights over Parker Strip CA/AZ

Upon leaving my store after hours my stepson (age 13) and I heard a dull, constant roar coming from the desert mountains behind us.

We saw four strong lights penetrating the low cloud cover above a mountain north of our position. The lights would pulse on and off at irregular intervals. The sound could best be described as distant rolling thunder but very constant.

We watched for many seconds and wondered what it could be.

Then the four lights began to drift away to the north (toward Lake Havasu City, AZ) together leading me to believe it was one very large craft as opposed to four separate ones. The sound also diminished in proportion to the lights.

When I asked a local resident (I was new to the area then) days later, what that could have been. He said the Marines were probably performing night manuevers in the desert with helicopters. I've been in the military and know the sound of helicopters...this was not that sound.

Our viewing distance was about 2 miles from the source and I could probably provide exact coordinates if you need them.

Massive number of UFO's observed in one location.

It began shortly after midnight, we were laying out in the front yard and saw a black, silent aircraft pass over very low. We thought we saw a Stealth bomber and began trying to see where it went.

We saw another, and after a while we saw several. I went inside so my son could wake up and see them. The three of us layed outside watching for over 4 hours. During this time other types of aircraft appeared, several larger triangular looking aircraft were seen, as well as massive crafts consisting of several smaller crafts joined together. We watched as they seemed to be moving from one large craft to another.

It seemed as though the smaller ones were launching from the larger ones. Straight lines of what looked like stars (but were'nt) were appearing, at one point there were at least five consisting of 8 or more moving lights. During most of the activity in the sky we heard our dogs barking at nothing, cat (not ours) howling, and wild burros schreeching nearby.

Shortly before daylight it appeared as though they began to prepare to depart. At times it seemed as though they were engaged in combat with each other. Many falling star type beams observed, they were red and gold in color. Larger crafts appeared to break down into several smaller ones and depart. Some of the larger crafts had a blue craft that seemed to be guiding them away. One large craft in particular split into two separate pieces one of which departed upward and the other downward in the distance. The one that appeared to land here looked as though it turned over, changing its position as it was descending, towards 29 Palms. During the entire event, they made no noise.

After most of the crafts had departed 4 gold colored, square objects began to ascend after them, they seemed to have been some kind of guide. It was at this point that my husband called the 29 Palms Marine Corps base. He was transferred to the correct person who basically told him "he hadn't seen anything." This statement was made after he was asked who he was, where he was, what was seen and how many others had seen it.

Then, my husband placed another call to the local Sheriff's Department and was told an Officer would be sent down. As he walked outside after this call, he proceeded to call his father and noticed that the 4 gold square objects were landing in a square formation around our house. At this point we ran into our home and locked the doors and turned off the lights. It appeared that some sort of door or hatch opened and a male human figure get out and began walking toward our home.

We called the Sheriff's department back to see what was taking so long and were told the deputy would not be responding. Husband went back outside and noticed one of the four objects was rising up from the ground again, it hovered at approximately 40-50 feet. He quickly came back inside. This was approximately 20 minutes before daylight.

At daylight he went outside and observed them all departing, he called us out so we could see it too. They were already several hundred feet off the ground. A little later we drove down to where they had landed and saw circular imprints in the soil as well as laid over weeds. Only found two of these.
