National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 2/1/2015 19:45 (Entered as : 02/01/15 17:00) Reported: 2/5/2015 7:46:45 PM 19:46 Posted: 2/6/2015 Location: Marana, AZ Shape: Other Duration: 10 minutes Characteristics: The object made a sound, There were aircraft in the vicinity or aircraft chasing the object
Super Bowl jets chased object south to near Tucson city limits. Circiling at HIGH SPEEDS. The night of the super bowl the wife and I heard jets that were flying at FULL MILITARY. I went out doors and saw them, with afterburners on, flying south towards Tucson. Just over, the jets crossed and returned North. A few seconds later they all went South and out of site beyond Tucson. I stated to wife they must be chasing something,,,, I saw nothing of what they were after because the next door's security lights came on and obscured any detail. I am making this report after reading the report from Mesa that same night. I am in support of the "Chase," but cannot say I saw any UFO. I do know jets do not fly like THAT, full military over civilian areas without good cause. There is a gunnery range about 60 miles west of Tucson. There have been odd things in the southern Arizona skies for several weeks. I have reported several but it's my first reports.
