Dr. Seymour Hess observed an object from the grounds of the Lowell Observatory. Spotting an unusual, small object moving from SE to NW, he had time to send his son after binoculars, which he used in the later portions of his observation. He said it looked somewhat disc-shaped, or perhaps somewhat like a tipped parachute. It had no wings or visible means of propulsion. Dr. Hess indicated that he probably had it in sight a total of about three minutes, during which it passed directly between him and a cloud, before disappearing (into a cloud Hess feels, though this point was not certain).

On Saturday, May 31, 1997, a man was working in his backyard vegetable garden when he heard a jet engine. He saw the jet just north of my house when suddenly he caught a white oblong object directly overhead. It was at a very high altitude and was moving faster than anything he had ever seen. It was moving from east to west. There was no trail and no sound...and it was gone in less than three seconds.

On Sunday, April 27, 1997, at 2:30 p.m., a man was on the patio at his home in Paradise Valley, a suburb northeast of Phoenix, Arizona when he saw a bright flash in the northeast sky. A white metallic object was hovering at a fairly high altitude and had apparently expelled two long metallic objects that were falling and tumbling. He took three snapshots of the objects. The stationary object seemed almost self-luminous. When a plane approached, the unknown object 'winked' out, then back on again he added. It appeared to be elliptical in shape.

At about 10:15 p.m., a man and wife went out in the backyard of their home to watch the Eta-Aquarid meteor shower. At 10:30 the man spotted something eerie at about 75 degrees elevation, 270 degrees azimuth west of Mars; a row of six softly-glowing objects traveling at about jet speed on a vector from south to north, without sound. This row of lights was about three times the length of an airliner at 5,000 to 10,000 feet traveling silently without strobes or running lights. The row pivoted like a compass needle and proceeded on a northwest trajectory before leaving our sight. The duration of the sighting was about three to seven seconds.

FAA Traffic Controller James V. Beardsley was aboard an American Airlines flight from Phoenix to Washington as an observer of pilot procedures. The aircraft was one of three in flight, the second being United Airlines and the third a National Guard plane. Four UFOs appeared ahead and the co-pilot called the air traffic control center who said they were tracking "unknowns" on radar near them. One of the UFOs was described as being 18 to 20 feet long, 12 to 14 feet across, and some 8 feet thick, the color of burnished aluminum. The other three were dart-shaped and smaller. The UFOs changed course to avoid the aircraft. Beardsley filed an official FAA report.

A strange black UFO as it flew over the Chris-Town Shopping Center and Camelback Road in Phoenix. A video of the event shows a black (hockey) puck-style object hovering. The most interesting thing about it were the rapid starts and stops the object made. It did a quick series of 180-degree turns and looked like it was on floating on water.

A 19 year old man and his friend were relaxing and looking for meteors while sitting on top of a car. A huge triangular object with several very dim reddish-orange lights passed directly over their heads, making absolutely no noise and no vibrations. It was going at a steady speed, but not very fast, maybe 25 to 30 miles per hour. It was much too low and not well lit enough for any airplane at that height. It sort of jolted, then shot off and disappeared.

At 4:30 p.m., an egg-shaped UFO flew over the University of Arizona campus. The overflight was witnessed by a young couple living in the area. As she went outdoors to view "uncharacteristically nasty-looking clouds drifting out of Tucson," the woman said, she became aware of an object hovering in the afternoon sky...It was weird because I was unable to discern how far away or how big it was. It was very close to the color of the clouds, making it even more difficult to determine its exact size or the distance...It was kind of whitish gray in color, and it was shaped like an inverted egg. For the first few minutes, the thing--it seemed to be traveling slowly straight up into the sky. There was no noise. But then it began to "haul ass across the sky", from east to west. I don't know how it was being propelled through the air. It just seemed to move effortlessly.
