National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 2/7/2000 19:40 (Entered as : 02/07/00 1940) Reported: 2/25/2000 16:44 Posted: 2/27/2000 Location: Pima, AZ Shape: Fireball Duration: 5 min Characteristics: There were lights on the object, There were aircraft in the vicinity or aircraft chasing the object
Round, silent, stationary ball motionless in NW sky disappearing when approached by jet fighters. While waiting for my husband to come home from work I went out to look at the stars. We do this frequently. We live at the base of Mr. Graham where the Large Binocular Telescope and the Vatican Telescope are. When I looked to the NW I saw a yellow ball. It was almost over head and I could tell it was not a star. It was motionless & silent As I I continued to watch it I could hear aircraft approaching. They were coming from the direction of Phoenix (possibly Luke AFB). I saw two, what appeared to be jet fighters, approach the object. Then the object disappeared just as if a light switch had been turned off. The jets turned around and went back the direction they came from. I was shocked! I have been a registered nurse for 25yrs and thought I had seen everything. I know I should have reported this sooner but I felt sort of wierd about it as I was the only one I knew of to see it. It really shook me up.
