Reported: 2006-03-13 09:27 Pacific
Duration: 2 hours
No of observers: 0

Location: Arizona (desert; on route 66), AZ, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted beams

There were smaller lights flying around the hugh triangle firing lasers and they blew up something.

Two of us were camped in our motorhome on route 66 about 4 miles NE of the Grand Canyon Caverns, Arizona,on a Saterday night (The Saterday night before the Phoenix lights event.)

We saw a huge black triangle on the other side of the highway, over indian land and about a mile or two away, at one am.

There were several small craft flying around that looked like lights in the sky. Some of the small lights started firing red laser like beams at one of the other lights and there was an explosion.

Shortly after that a white beam came from the black rectangle down toward the ground. Because it was so far away we couldn't see where the beam hit the ground. The area is rolling hills and scrub brush.

NUFORC Note:

Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. However, the Saturday before the March 13, 1997, Phoenix Lights event would have March 08, 1997, so 01:00 hrs. on the next morning would have been March 09, as the witness correctly indicates above. PD
