What's Going On With UFO's In Tucson?

Welcome to the new UDCC - near daily opinions and news about UFO's. And, as you can see from the headline - SOMETHING SEEMS TO BE GOING ON IN THE SKY ABOVE TUCSON Arizona. Below UDCC begins with some reports to MUFON:

I was driving home from Walgreens at Ironwood Hill Dr. and Silverbell, heading west on Ironwood Hill near Greasewood Road. My receipt was marked 7:36 pm, so this happened about two minutes later. As I was driving along with my son in the back seat I saw a row of lights in the sky, slightly SW of me. I knew they were unusual because this is my road home, and I'm used to the lights on the Tucson mountains. As soon as I saw the lights they went out one by one from left to right. I got very excited and told my son what I'd seen and to keep an eye out for their return. They could have been flares. Who knows? They were whitish and brighter than stars. I arrived home about two minutes later and looked for the lights again from my back porch, but didn't see any more. I'd be interested to hear what Davis-Monthan Air Base says about them. http://mufoncms.com/cgi-bin/manage_sighting_reports.pl?mode=view_long_desc&id=25539&rnd=873241285442139

At about 10:45 pm I was a pasanger in a car and I saw a row of flashing red lights. It looked like it may be on top of the mountains of east Tucson. They were red and flashed in an alternating sequence (went from dim to bright). It was hard to say how manny lights there were, maybe 6 or 7 total. Uppon pulling over the car to take a better look, I observed that the lights were in a stright horizontal line in a Cigar shape, the bottom row much dimmer than the top row. Looking on the ground beolw it, I saw 2 bright red lights on the ground in the distance, much to bright to be stop lights.


There was no sound and it seemed to move slightly in every direction slightly. It was definetly within the valley that the city resides in the south east part of the city. My wife and I stared at it for about 3 minutes before moving on. I would have watched it longer but it made my wife very uncomfortable and she was scared to get out of the car and told me to stay in the car as well. Neather of us could say what it was but there was not a doubt in eather of our minds that it was just an airplane. It was not traveling accross the sky and they lights were very differenty than an aircraft. We had no idea what it was but it was not something we had ever seen before.
The next day I did a net search for "strange lights over Tucson" and found, as I suspected, we were not the only ones who saw it. The paper listed several quotes from witnesses that got a better look than I did. http://mufoncms.com/cgi-bin/manage_sighting_reports.pl?mode=view_long_desc&id=25538&rnd=873241285442139

High Strangeness Craft report made 9-25 to MUFON about a Life Changing Event on July 18th, 1988:
My brother and I decided to drive to Saugatuck lake in fairfield county in the state of connecticut to do some night fishing. we arrived at our spot at approximately 8 pm. We walked out to a large flat rock to begin fishing. I made a cast and was in the process of catcing a fish but my brother was experiencing some line problems. while I was fishing, he was doing his repairs. He said "hey look at that!" I looked up and over a nearby ridge of pine trees i saw what looked the lights you'd see at a baseball game above the tree tops. they were large bright white lights in a straight line. i didnt really think anything of it and continued fishing. he then said again " hey! what the hell is that?" i looked again and now these lights were in the shape of a slanted 7 then an almost cross and then a jagged line. i could feel what i can only describe what it must feel like to be between to magnets turned to opposite poles, it was very strange. i also noticed that my thought pattern was disrupted, i couldnt think clearly. i could not see anything but these lights. and at the time my brother first noticed this, it was dusk; still a bit light out. this thing, whatever it was floated over us and i only know this because i finally realized i couldnt see the sky any longer. i could not see any sky from left to right at all. this thing made absolutely no noise. it was just above us. after looking up at what was essentially nothing but black sky for a long while, this thing turned slightly and i began to be able to see some stars and then i realized the size and shape of this thing and was instantly terrified. i grabbed my brother and pointed out the shape of this craft. it looked like a 55 gallon drum that was cut down the middle from top to bottom and then laid flat and it was massive. i have no way of estimating the size. i had never seen anything like this before or since. my instinct was to pull my brother to the ground and lay as flat as possible. i remember scanning the woods and road looking to see if something was there that was potentially threatening. we continued to watch this thing for quite a while and watched it ascend slowly until we could no longer see it. there was no ultra fast movement, no unbelievable lights, no noise, just this massive thing in the sky above us. we left right away, amazed and in shock. when we arrived home, i called the redding p.d. at the behest of my family and asked the officer who answered if anyone had reported seeing anything strange in the sky that night; he replied no. he asked if i wanted to file a report, i declined. i am finally writing about this all these years later because i know what we saw, i also know people tend to think that those who observe these craft are lying. to this day, 22 years later, i look at the sky constantly, i wonder what the hell this thing was and why we saw it. it permanently changed my world. http://mufoncms.com/cgi-bin/manage_sighting_reports.pl?mode=view_long_desc&id=25549&rnd=873241285442139
