Hello, I reported an event on 4/7/2004 20:05, an identical event took place yet again in almost the exact same area as the previous event.

At 2125 hrs., my wifes mother called her and informed her of an object in the sky north of our position in Bullhead City. This put the object directly over Laughlin, Nevada. She indicated that it was visible since at least 2120 hrs.

We continued watching the object until aprox. 2134 hrs. when it moved north east from its origional position. At the time the object faded out and disapeared. This happened extremely quick.

We went back inside at that time. About 2138 hrs., her mother contacted us on the phone yet again and indicated that the object was back and was now much closer and moving at a much higher rate of speed. At this time, I took two pictures of the object which unfortunately came out extremely blurry.

At this time, the object appeared to be in a large spiral towards the ground. The object disapeared behind some houses out of sight and was not seen again. It is unknown if the object made contact with the ground or not. We left and traveled to the river to get a clear view of the area it would have landed, but were unable to witness anything.

The object was a reddish color. The size was spherical, but appeared to be attached on a pendulum in the way its motion was preceived.

There was no wind present, so the lateral movement would not be plausable to move a flare around to the extend that occured.

I can provide the photos if needed, however the quality is extremely poor.

Another issue that may or may not be related to this case is the portable phone my wife was using was acting up. Normally, the phone is good at the distance we were from the base station.

Air traffic was present in the surrounding area, although they were up above 30,000 feet.
