Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 4

Location: Mesa, AZ, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Bright red light floating almost overhead in western Mesa, AZ - just to the SE a little. Floated/moved slowly until it vanished.

Saw a bright red light in the southeastern sky above Mesa, AZ - it was just SE of what would be directly overhead. It was floating very slowly toward the NE, we thought it might be a plane, but the light was too close/large and it was moving very slowly. Light did not blink. After about 10 minutes, it dipped a little and vanished. It looked like a ball of bright red light. We sighted it from the northwest corner of Southern & Alma School, about 1 mile from the Bank of America Building and this object was very high in the sky. My husband got the binoculars, but as he focused on the object, it vanished.
