It was really strange. I was out with my dog at about 9 pm mst 04/23/08. The sky > was really clear. I looked over toward the SW because something > caught my eye.

> It was very bright and quite a long distance away. I could make out > red, green and white lights with my bare eyes. It was moving very > fast from side to side. I ran in the house to get out my binoculars.

> Then, I could really see it. I saw one row of horizontal very bright > lights. I went back into the house to tell tell my wife and got > another set of glasses for her. Now it had moved to mid height in the > SW sky about mid height in the West. I could not take my eyes off of > it. I was really excited and my wife was like no big deal but glad to > have seen one. You knew it was not a plane because a plane could not > hover like that and make the very radical moves.

> I watched for about a half hour. Toward the end a second UFO joined > the first one, but quite a distance from the first one.

> > Then, this morning on Channel 7 news they mentioned that UFO's were > spotted over Phoenix. So, someone else saw some too. The FAA said > they had nothing to report.
