Duration: 15 MIN
No of observers: 3

Location: Tucson, AZ, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

A series of 4 or 5 lights, blinking and moving in a westward direction. No pattern at all to the lights.

Okay, I'm standing out on the patio, smoking a cigarette and up in the sky I see these lights. Here's as best a description I can give:It appeared in the southern sky. the lights looked like twinkling stars almost or like plane lights but they would get bright for just a second and then disappear completely (normal planes do not do that you can still see the plane). There would be like 4 or 5 of them going off but not in any sort of order. The area they covered was pretty big, like the area of 5 or 6 planes but there wasn't a distinguishable shape like a circle etc. Really you could not see anything behind the lights it was the lights themselves that let you know something was there.It could not have been different planes either because of the way the lights were moving the plane would have to have the ability to zig up and down and back and forward at a rate of nano seconds. The whole thing was moving west at a pretty rapid clip. I called my husband out, who was annoyed I took him away from a show but as soon as he saw it he also commented, "What the hell is that?" I was speaking to a friend on the phone who lives a few blocks away. I asked her to go outside and look at the sky. She and her son went outside,her son said it looked like asteroid dust. He is 13. We had to run out to the parking lot to see past the building in front of us but by the time we got to the parking lot it was gone. We live near an air force base so we are used to seeing planes in the sky all the time. This was NOTHING like anything I've ever seen flying in the sky before.

Hope this helps.
