Location: Tucson, AZ, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Circlular rotating lighted low flying craft west of Ina at Silverbell Rd, object moved slowly then instantly disappeared.

I was driving west on Ina coming to the Silverbell Rd. when I saw what I thought was an extremly large plane. It had three lights, then another came on, and another, it was them I realized it was a circle of rotating lights. I made sure to keep my eye on it as I was coming to the light at Ina & Silverbell, I watched it, then right before my eyes it disappeared. There were no clouds that it could have gone behind because it was flying to low. It was heading east, planes here don't usually head that way as the airport is to the south.
