Anonymous Coward User ID: 29394601 United States 12/09/2012 03:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Saw light passing directly overhead at approx. 810pm lasting several minutes traveling in a SE direction. Moving fast but silently directly above us. Just a orange yellow ball of fire...didn't appear to be very high up, maybe 2500 ft but really hard to say. Then it travelled southeast and appeared to be fading in color and dropping in altitude, but after 4 to 5 minutes it appeared to be very far away. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 23755869 United States 12/09/2012 12:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm in say Mesa and we set off about 10 flying lanterns last night at a Christmas party. You may have seen them. Also the AZ National Gaurd facility is southeast out by Florence and on occasion they launch flares which are very bright and float down on small parachutes. Use to illuminate the ground below. This may a weekend they were doing that. |

See the Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29417626 Also why we're having so many car fires, had another one last night. Scares the hell out of me too AC. I checked out the website. it ties in with Sinixters thread on massive methane release! (Listen to the radio interview on there if you haven't yet.) I just wish their would have been a pic or video on that page of an example in the sky so I could see if its the same as what I saw. But still going to keep this as a possibility, especially with no other explanation thus far. Thanks! I'll be going back to that website often now for updates! |

I never see anything in Chandler and I'm looking at the sky all the time. :( Quoting: black calx I'm sorry! I usually don't either...or if I do I am very skeptical. But this I could not explain. I'm waiting for mods to approve the pic...then you will kinda be able to see what I saw. Can't wait.... One of these days... A *REAL* rain is gonna come and wash all this scum off the streets. |

I don't know what the dimmer lights are in the back...I did not see those when taking the pic..so a reflection of the bright lights maybe? |

At the level of the street light in view. How long did this go on? I would say a total of less than 4 minutes they were floating down..not fast ( but also in and out in reappearing in new side positions) until they went behind tree lines and houses and I couldn't see them anymore. |

(OP) User ID: 29478894 United States 12/10/2012 01:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I admit I am not good at judging distance...so I just asked my husband how far away he would say the lights were to give everyone an idea when looking at the pic. He said at least 10 miles away from us. I hope that helps. |

Do you have military bases near you? Sounds almost like flares dropped. One of these days... A *REAL* rain is gonna come and wash all this scum off the streets. |
