Yellowish/orange sphere seen by Wife and Myself.

At 18:00 on Sunday, Jan. 15th 2012 the wife and I were Driving East on Baseline Road towards Ellsworth Road. In the Sky were 8 lights, all of them a Yellow color. They were in a formation that resembled the little dipper upside down. The Dipper of the formation was up. As soon as I pointed the lights out to the wife they Dipper portion of the formation turned in a clockwise rotation. The ships in the Handle then started to get smaller. It looked as if they went higher into the air and then were gone. Then the ships left in the Square formation started to do the same thing. At this time I was able to get my phone out and activate the camera. I was only able to snap two pictures. All but one light had left. At this time another light came up from the east. It stopped and hovered with the one remaining light. This light then disappeared the same way as the others. Leaving one remaining light, this one also disappeared as the others; however upon disappearing i! t did seems to cork screw or barrel roll before getting too small to see.

Other than the last light come up, please note that all other lights were hovering. They were only moving slightly in the sky.

Image 1. Shows one ship just hovering, this is the last light to remain.

Image 2. Shows two ships hovering, this contains the above light and the newest one that came from the east.
