Arizona-04-21-08-We live in Cave Creek and were driving home westbound on Lone Mountain between 7-7:30 PM on Monday evening. We first noticed the object as soon as we turned onto Lone Mountain from Scottsdale Rd. We could see a single bright, white light and red lights, and the object was descending slowly south and east. We kept thinking it was a helicopter, but as we got closer and pulled over to stop and watch, we could clearly see the outline of the object which was a trapezoid, with red lights on each corner, and as it moved at an angle it appeared to be a triangle.
It was either floating and silent or moving very slowly making very muffled "whooshing" vacuum-type sounds. We watched until it literally vanished before us. My son took a photo with his cell phone and the time stamp is 7:31 PM. We had been watching it several minutes prior. It was as close to the ground as the distance of flying a kite really high. We were fascinated and in awe, and felt no fear. When we arrived home we called family members to talk about what we just witnessed and were excited to see it on the news that evening.
We have been in this area for some time and are intimately familiar with air traffic patterns from the local airports, Deer Valley, Carefree, and Scottsdale. This was not a plane and it was not a helicopter. We are amused by the claims of balloons and flares and while we don't know what it was, we know what is was not, and it was not balloons and flares. No way!
How would those items create the distinct shape of a trapezoid and where's the explanation about how it traveled from the Deer Valley area east through the thousands of acres of state land peppered with gigantic above ground electrical towers.
We are also a military family and have been around military bases and military aircraft for years, this is unlike anything we've ever seen. We will be watching the skies and hope to post some good pictures for you.
