Location: Scottsdale, AZ, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

The back of our home looks south over Scottsdale and Phoenix. My wife and I were watching a movie on TV when we saw 3 very bright lights in the southern sky over Phoenix. The 3 lights were in a triangle pattern, 1 on top and two on the bottom. The bottom left light went out first for about 10 seconds whle the other two remained on. Then it came back on. Then 2 of the lights went out at exactly the same time for about ten seconds and they reappeared. The the lower left light went out again and did not come back on. Finally the other two lights went out and they did not reappear. While this was going on we saw a normal size commercial airplane heading for the Phoenix Sky Harbor airport in the distance, but it was very SMALL in size compared to the triangle we witnessed. We saw the 3 lights from the inside of our home and then proceeded into our backyard and stil saw them.
