Third sighting this week: Saw two orange orbs (non-moving and silent) in sky over southwest Phoenix.

I guess I'm more likely to see a UFO considering I've seen them three times this week and cannot quit looking at the sky at night now! :) Better odds, I'm going to have a car accident if I don't watch it. Back to what I saw: I was on my way home from a movie at Desert Ridge in Phoenix with three of my friends. We had talked about my sightings from earlier in the week and even had a good laugh about them. I couldn't help looking at the sky when I noticed the lights were there again. This time there were two orbs. My friend who was driving exited 101 at Scottsdale Road and proceeded south. We made a right turn at the first street (Mayo) and headed west and stopped 1/4 mile down to watch the lights. They were blinking on and off just as they had done two nights previous. There was also another car pulled over just a little further down the street and the driver was standing outside of his car watching them too. I noted the time immediately when I saw the lights (10:00 p.m.). The show lasted for about 10 minutes. This time I took a picture with my cell phone. The resolution is terrible but it did capture the objects as well as some planes that were in the area. Interestingly though the color of the objects is not orange in the photo. One is brown and the other is green. During the 10 minutes, the planes appear to fly above, below and all around them, going about their business as if it's nothing unusual. I just don't understand why the pilots don't report these lights. Are they not seeing them? In reading the reports in the database, there appear to be a high number in the southwest sky that are very similar over Phoenix. With all the cameras around recording our every move these days, why do we not have one focused on the sky to capture this phenomenon in Phoenix? I'm really curious now as to the origin of these lights. I've purchased a compass that I'm keeping in my car to provide better details. At least my friends saw it this time. I will see if I can get them to submit their report as well.
