NUFORC Sighting 56083

Occurred: 2007-04-03 20:00 Local
Reported: 2007-04-03 20:48 Pacific
Duration: 5 or 6 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Queen Creek, AZ, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Three lights, fairly close to the ground, evenly spread at a slight angle, started to turn and then vanished.

I was driving Eastbound down Ocotillo Road in Queen Creek, AZ (a SE mostly rural suburb of Phoenix) at about 8 PM on April 3, 2007, when I looked up into the jet black night sky (in the East, Northeast sky) and saw three yellowish-gold lights, close together, in a straight line, on about a 15 to 20 degree angle. I instantly thought to myself why is a plane flying so low over here. It was coming pretty much toward me. It started to turn to the left (to the NW) and then completely vanished into thin air.

I saw the lights for a total of about 5 to 6 seconds before they disappeared. I then continued to try to look while I drove for some sign of these lights.

It really freaked me out. At first I thought it was a plane, but there was no way it could have just vanished like it did.
