Occurred: 2021-05-05 21:30 Local

Duration: 1 minute
No of observers: 1

Location: Williams, AZ, USA

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object

Very long, straight craft with string of bright lights on it seen moving slowly in night sky near Williams Arizona.

Sighting details: At approximately 2130hrs on May 5th, 2021, I was taking a walk through a very dimly lit RV park one mile East of Williams Arizona. I happened to look upwards and was immediately startled to notice a nearly perfect straight line of bright white lights stretched horizontally across the sky. As I stopped to look intently upon them I noticed they were slightly brighter white than the stars that were clearly visible in the dark night sky. These lights emitted a constant stream of light and did not have the “twinkling” effect that stars frequently have. The string of lights seemed to be equally spaced from one another, horizontally, but were slightly higher/lower from one another vertically. The lights appeared to all be attached to the same craft, as I could just barely make out a very faint appearance of a gray object against the black sky background. The moment I first saw the light formation it appeared to be stationary, but within a few seco! nds all the lights began to slowly move to my right, in unison with each other. They continued at the same very slow speed until out of sight. I’m not exactly certain of my directional bearings at the time, but I am fairly certain it was moving from the Southwest towards the Northeast in direction. The string of lights was very long. I looked up at about 30 degrees to my left, and it spanned to about 30 degrees to my right. That was my full field of view, due to some tall Ponderosa Pine trees blocking my view of either end of it. I could clearly see approximately 15 lights in a straight line on the object, but there appeared to be more that were being blocked by the trees. It was a very quiet night outside that evening and there was no audible noise coming from this craft.

My background: I am 61 years old. I am retired from the US Air Force. I worked on fighter jets as a maintenance technician. I have a BS degree in Psychology from Grand Canyon University, an Associates Degree in Aerospace Technology, and completed half of the credits needed towards a Masters Degree in Family Counseling from Phoenix Seminary.

With a group of 5 people star watching in Williams, Arizona. We tracked two satellites and saw two shooting stars, when we noticed directly up above at the height from Earth that a satellite would be, a bright, white orb-shaped object that started out moving similar to the ISS heading south in the sky. We then watched it slowed way down, get brighter and do an odd, jerky zig zag pattern just before completely shooting across the sky like a shooting star heading opposite toward the north and then disappearing out of sight. Ten seconds later it returned coming into view directly above us again and completely stopped for about 10 seconds, then it moved diagonally down toward the tree line and got more dim as it decended until it completely dimmed out about 20 degrees above the horizon. I had no explanation for what it could be. It was speed variable (could go from super fast to stop instantly), it can dim and brighten at will, change directions instantly, no so! und, and the zig zag maneuvers seemed almost like it was blipping in and out of existance in fractions of a second, giving it this weird jerking type of motion. As an experienced star gazer and telescope enthusiast, I have never witnessed anything like it before.

I've seen strange lights in the night sky, but nothing this long or active before.

Event started in the night sky with the appearance of three bright lights, forming an almost perfect upside-down triangle, just North of Orion's Belt in the North-West sky. The triangle lights were of equal brightness and were too far apart to be from a single craft. The upper two lights would take turns moving in and out of formation for a good twenty minutes before cloud cover obscured them.

About thirty minutes later red and white lights started to appear and move in strange and an unconventional like manner in the North-West sky. This was just North of where the upside-down triangle had appeared. The lights were many and zig-zagging in all directions.

Later two military jets came in from the south and the strange lights just bounced all around the two jets. Eventually, they disengaged and headed back south towards Phoenix. By the look of their aviation lights they were probably F-16s.

About ten minutes later another jet came in from the South-East. This single military jet look like an F-22 from its aviation lights. It headed in the direction of were the strange lights had last been seen. Amazingly, by the time this military jet had reached the location of the strange lights, the lights were gone. The fighter must have stayed in the area for a good amount of time before it also headed South.

Later in the evening the three bright lights were back in almost the same location but the triangle was now pointing up with the lower left light being the brightest of the three.

On a normal day or night, we have a lot of commercial East-West flights over our territory but not on this night. During all this activity there were no commercial flights in the sky to be seen. When I checked the commercial FFA flight logs on-line, all West and East bound flights had been diverted North towards Las Vegas; and, South towards Phoenix.

The dogs and coyotes in the neighborhood had been making noise for days. Last night it was dead silence all night.

This video and photos were taken on October 20, at approximately 5:15am, right off of I-5 in Williams , CA. While neither the photos nor the video reflect the true shape of the two objects we saw which were glowing brighter than any planet I have ever seen in the sky, it is clear that they were not orb shaped. They appeared in the shape of large dragon flies on their sides-one wing up and one down, and remained relatively stationary for around an hour as we travelled 40 miles to the east (Kelseyville) where we again observed them (still the same size).

I concluded they must be very large to appear the exact same size and brightness 40 miles away from the original sighting location.

Shape: Chevron
Characteristics: Lights on object

Bright motionless chevron shaped light and two orange orbs.

I was driving to a job site during the early morning hours of September 28, 2007. I was traveling west on California Highway 20 when my attention was drawn to a bright light approximately 45 degrees above the horizon. The bright light was positioned to the south of my location. My first thought was the light was the sunlight reflecting off a high flying jet as the sunrise had not yet occured. However, it soon became apparent the light was not moving. I then pulled off the road and noted two other cars parked with the occupants of these cars looking toward the light. The light appeared bright and had the shape of a chevron or "V" shape. Directly below and to the left of the light(southeast of my position) were two small orange orbs. The height of the light and the orbs could not be determined but it was above the broken cloud cover. I observe the light to remain motionless for approximaely 5 minutes. It then rotated slighly and exposed a diffused red light on what appeared to be the rear area of the craft. I continued to observe the light for an additional 5 minutes before leaving. The two other cars and their occupants had left prior to my departure. I continued to observe the light as I drove towards my job site only loosing site of it when I arrived at the job site. The surrounding mountains prevented viewing the light from my job site location.

Two kids see a green-ish glowing sphere in woods outside of Williams AZ.

My family and I were camping in the park about 9 miles south of Williams. I took my kids out in the wood to spotlight some deer or elk. I and my 14 year old son were looking out one side of the car and my 17 year old son and 11 year old daughter were looking out the other. First the 17 year old said "Stop dad, look at that!". My daughter said "What is it (son's name)?". By the time I had stopped and got out, it had ducked below the tree line. They both had the same story and discription. A sphere the glowed greenish and had a small tail of light when it moved. It went along the top of the trees then droped out of sight. It scared my daughter alot.

We had sat down on the cosession stand triler and noticed 2 oval egg shaped Bright yellow lights coming towards us at about 100 feet or so up traveling from SE to NW these lights where not flashing they where just as someone had put 2 eggs but yellowish goldish on grey paper. They flew in a formation like fighter pilots would there was absoloutly no sound, none. They flew over us and towards the coastal mountains then striaght up after about 5 miles away from us. We ran.

I myself was raise around USMC bases and know what all kinds of aircraft looklike at night. these where not like any thing I hve seen befor or since. It truly changed me ,and I will think about this till the day I die.
