Shape: Triangle

Color: Fat black, shimmery at the edges with a brilliant white light

Detail highlights as reported to nuforc.org: "There was a very deep drone hum, not really heard but felt, we didn't move as it seemed that if we made ourselves seen something may happen to us. As the craft passed in front to the NE and about 30 yards from us a beam of brilliant white light shot down to the ground from the (?) front of the craft, and began to sweep left to right down then up as if it were searching for something, When this light first hit the ground the was a disturbance of dust rising, and as it sweeped around you could see dust roiling up. We experienced an ill, nauseous, dread feeling... We about to leave when we noticed that the airbase had came alive, ie: search lights, sirens and military police vechiles ranging along the security fencewe saw this due to our being on a slight rise. We left in our car, and decided to check if the base was shut down, the main gate was closed and MPs were not allowing anyone to enter. The next day the word was that a coyote had set off the perimeter alarm."

Shape: Fireball

Color: Green

Detail highlights as reported to nuforc.org: "I walked out my front door (which faces east toward the Santa Catalina Mountains) about 8 pm to let my dog relieve himself. There are no street lights in this area so it was quite dark. As I was facing east, there was a brilliant fluorescent green fireball that streaked in a downward arch toward the north. I just saw it for a couple seconds before it went behind a neighbors large tree. There are mountains that line most of my east view and it arched below the level of the mountain ridge."

Lowell Rd., when I saw a blinding football-shaped light (that would be about the size of a 2-car garage were one up in the air) in the sky not more than three miles in front of me and roughly 1-2 miles in front (south) of the Catalina Mountains. It was flying below the altitude of the mountain top and moving very slowly from west to east. It then appeared to dissolve—just disappeared and then reappeared after about 3-5 seconds, again disappeared, reappeared after about 15 seconds (still very slowly moving west to east) then disappeared for good."

When: May 10, 1989 at 11 a.m.

Location: Downtown Tucson to I-10

Shape: Gray

Color: Cube

Detail highlights as reported to nuforc.org: "Looking northwest from downtown Tucson I saw two dark gray cubes, roughly the size of small houses, at a height of approx. 400 feet, in loose formation, traveling horizontally toward the west northwest. My female friend and I (we were both students at the University of Arizona at the time, living off campus), hopped on my motorcycle, a 1985 Honda 500cc Interceptor, and began pursuit, heading toward Phoenix on Interstate 10. I was riding in excess of 90 mph

...I got within a quarter mile..they were dark gray..matte finish..no visible protrusions, holes, or lights..just plain gray cubes...traveling together..but moving independently, bobbing up and down. I reported it to David Monthan AFB...after playing phone tag for 30 minutes, mostly on hold, they told me that the giant cubes we saw were marker ribbons dropped by the Air Force."

When: June 19, 1998 at 4 p.m.

Location: Neighborhood cul-de-sac in Tucson, Ariz.

Shape: Unknown

Color: Lime green

Detail highlights as reported to nuforc.org: "After putting the clothes in the washer I opened the door to the house, to go back inside. The door, is the kind, that when open, it automatically shuts close, real fast. Well, I opened the door, and all of a sudden, my entire garage is flooded in a bright neon lime-green light. I turn around and see that the entire neighborhood is flooded in this light. Everywhere I looked, everything was covered in this light, as if someone was holding a light, right over our cul-de-sac. I didn't see any object, but after about 10 seconds, of being in light, this huge shadow came out of nowhere and then flew off to the western sky. And then there was this weird wind (like a suction) and the trees blew along with other debris, to the west and then stopped. The light "flew" off too, and everything turned back to normal. I turned around and started to walk back in the house. Now, all this time, the door has been opened. And if you recall, I told you that it was one of those sprung doors, that shut as quickly as it opened. Well, right then and there, the door shut, right over my left foot, ripping up my nail on my big toe. The Dr. said, the nail would never grow back, because the nerves had been lifted out, but it did, and to this day, my toe has a nail. Something, my Dr. said was a "miracle."

When: April 20, 2015 at 7:45 p.m.

Location: Desert, Tucson, Ariz.

Shape: Unknown

Color: Shadow

Detail highlights as reported to nuforc.org: "I was running in the desert, away from ambient lights under clear sky. I watched an eclipse of the crescent moon. Crescent light shrank to a point at bottom of moon, a few minutes of darkness, then point lit again, expanded back to crescent. I thought it was an eclipse, but now i realize this is impossible, the crescent moon is in front of the earth. This means that an object larger than the moon passed before the moon."

When: Sept. 29, 2014 at 9:30 p.m.

Location: Catalina Foothills

Shape: Basketball

Color: White, red, green

Detail highlights as reported to nuforc.org: "On 2nd floor balcony, cool night, saw bright off-white sphere surround with flashing red and some green around it (like a distance star shining), the size of a basketball from where I was standing, about 0.5 miles distance, mountain range in the background, houses, this looked like it was over one of the golf resorts. It shot straight up in the sky within the valley, stopped around the top of the mountain range for a moment, slowing descended, stopped half way down, slowly descended again and began to swirl slowly around the top of some houses then I lost sight...I can tell the way it moved it was definitely a ufo. I actually called the resort and there wasn't any "fireworks" last night she said, told her what I saw and can tell she didn't believe or care about it."

About that time three US Air Force fighter jets come screaming over the top of us going from east to west towards the object did before the Jets could get close the object shot straight in the air and disappeared."
