No of observers: 1

Location: Tucson (Catalina Foothills), AZ, USA

Shape: Sphere
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Bright white sphere, green/red (like star) basket ball size, 0.5 distance, shot straight up, slowly decended above houses

On 2nd floor balcony, cool night, saw bright off white sphere surround with flashing red and some green around it (like a distance star shining), the size of a basketball from where I was standing, about 0.5 miles distance, mountain range in the background, houses, this looked like it was over one of the golf resorts. It shot straight up in the sky within the valley, stopped around the top of the mountain range for a moment, slowing descended, stopped half way down, slowly descended again and began to swirl slowly around the top of some houses then I lost sight. Twice it did this routine within about 10 minutes, I can tell the way it moved it was definitely a ufo. I actually called the resort and there wasn't any "fireworks" last night she said, told her what I saw and can tell she didn't believe are care about it. I know I couldn't have been the only person who saw this, hope someone else here did. Thanks!
