I personally have seen 2 different ones several years apart back in the 70's. One, over Mingus Mountain that overlooks Camp Verde, AZ, and the other was at Senneca Lake in the NE of Arizona at the top of the Salt River Canyon a few miles before you enter the canyon itself. The 1st occurrence was by far the most spectacular site I've ever seen and lasted for about 20 seconds. I was fishing late night on the river for catfish until early morning about 3:00 am and were walking to the place we were staying at and we were standing in the yard finishing off our beers and gazing aimlessly at the sky when all of the sudden it happened. It came out of the night sky and looked like a ball of flame, ie; a meteor. But when we thought it would crash into the top of the Mountain, it stopped dead on a dime and turned into a giant ball glowing blue and red and just hovered there above the mountain. We were totally tripped out by this needless to say, and then it shot over to our left, which we estimated to be about 30 miles and hovered there glowing blue and red. It's speed in which it did that was a blink of the eye, ( which we didn't ), and stayed there for about 5 seconds before shooting back to the right back over the top of the mountain, where it was originally, and pulsed blue and red again for about 5 seconds and then it shot straight up into the sky and was gone in a blink of an eye. We all looked at each other went f___________ck! Did we just see a UFO? And we 3 all came up with conclusion...Weather Balloon! Lol!
The 2nd time I saw one, I was fishing at Scennca Lake with 3 buddies of mine and we camped on the earthen dam at one end of the lake. That night we were laying around our fire on our sleeping bags, when we all noticed a bright white light moving along parallel along the top of a near by mesa that we could see in the distance. We thought it was some kind of vehicle driving along a road on the top of the mesa. It continued right off the mesa and in a straight line and never blinked on/off as an airplane would, just a bright white light moving through the sky. And then...it shot straight up into the sky and was gone in a flash! We all just looked at one another in awe at what we had just seen and of course we talked about it for a while before we went to sleep.
Since those 2 times, I have been always looking up at night, but have not seen once since. I was a believer since then and have always been, was called crazy a few times in the years following, but since the government has now come out with the truth and are now very interested in this phenomenon, I feel somewhat vindicated.
