Number of witnesses: 6
Number of Objects: 25 - 30+
Shape of Objects: Orange lights.
Full Description of Event/Sighting: My girlfriend and I were driving east on Shea Blvd and I spotted maybe 10 orange lights in the sky over Scottsdale.
It was an unusual cluster of orange lights that at first looked like planes lined up one after the other as if on a flight path. However, more just kept coming and they were no longer in lined up formation.
In fact they were popping up in random spots that were spreading out in no particular pattern but they were moving.
The lights were orange and not white as plane lights would be. There were no blinking lights to indicate they were landing lights or planes. The lights were just bright orange colored.
They kept coming and looked like they were surfacing out of nowhere or from the ground, but they were not coming from the ground over east Scottsdale.
One after another and multiples just kept showing up. They went upward and seemed to be traveling towards us in a westerly direction and also straight up.
They clustered, they lined up, they went up in pairs and crossed as if touching then separated and would vanish slowly. It was as if they were playing.
We had pulled over to watch them and a family came out of their house and watched them with us. Finally we got in the car and drove east less than a mile and pulled over again into a cul-de-sac facing south over Paradise Valley.
We watched them continuously surface and start traveling right in front of us one after another.
We thought they might come right to us but as they past us they would shoot off into the distance in a way that seemed to be a slow fade but in actuality they seemed to be traveling a long distance at a very rapid speed.
We know for sure they were not planes of any kind as their lights stayed consistent no matter how close or far they were from us or what direction they traveled.
We thought someone must have been releasing them like balloons, but it was not possible. There was also No Wind which would have made them move as they did.
These were not balloons.
They traveled in purposeful directions with intent and as they passed right in front of us one after another, over the dark hills of Paradise Valley, it was clearly evident they knew what they were doing and purposefully showed their presence.
There was no sound and they were not from this planet.
Every one of them had a bright orange flare look to them and every one of them was consistent in color and brightness until they faded away.
They all faded away in the same manner with a trickling of light as they seemed to rapidly disappear into the far distance.
This lasted around 20 minutes and we don't know how long they were in the sky before we saw them. But we watched until there were no more.
We never thought to count but there had to be somewhere around 30-50 of them over the 20 some minute span we watched.
This event totally reminded me of the 1997 Lights Over Phoenix Incident; however, this was of a magnitude that blows that event out of the water!
There is no doubt in my mind what we saw and funny thing is, we captured at least one on film but most of them would not show up on our phone cameras despite how bright they were. It was the strangest thing but we documented it.
Additional Information:
Brian, it was last night, Saturday, February 16, 2013.
We left my house about 11:00 p.m. and feel it must have lasted at least 20 minutes if not more.
I left my report on your site because it was the first choice on Google and already had reports of sightings in Spokane, WA, that told of almost the identical experience we had and it had happened just a few hours before on the same night .
I have seen lots of sightings over the years and have interesting stories, but this was the most unimaginable and closest encounter ever.
To see so many Orbs and have them moving in the sky in a way that came at us and continually passed by us, was mind blowing and definite confirmation we are not alone.
I'm just grateful I wasn't alone for this experience and we were not physically affected.
If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.
Also, please feel free to send in your sightings that have happened years ago. So many of these older sightings are nothing short of amazing.
