Reported: 2004-06-16 18:57 Pacific
Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 3

Location: Glendale, AZ, USA

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

While putting the kids to bed, my wife pointed out very bright and unusual lights in formation to the sothwest. We live on a mountainside and had a good view of thses lights for 5 minutes, 2.5 of which I have on video tape. These lights were almost stationary and in formation this did not change. Brightness of each was Venus maggnitude or brighter. Lights seemed to flash in a pattern. While my eyes said they were red and white, video shows green yellow and orange as well. As the lights went from sight, a movement to NE seemed to take place. I am an experienced sky watcher and this was not an ordinary occurance. Size was a minimm of 600 ft and at the most 3000=4000 by my estimates.

NUFORC Note:

Witness is a photography specialist, and captured several minutes of high-quality video of the light display. We do not know what the object was, but the event is under investigation. PD
