Bumbling light in the sky at 40 degreesI have a retreat (cabin) in northern Arizona. This is in "Valle" arizona at the intersection of hwy 64 & hwy 180. I went outside to urinate at 2:30 in the morning.Directly at about 40 deg.in the eastern night sky was a very bright object somewhat round. It was stunningly noticeable as it was shaking somewhat violently kind of reminded of the way a "bumble bee" moves in flight. At first I took it to be a regular type of aircraft. I thought I might have to help the occupants of a aircrash because I thought this aircraft was in trouble. that was until it came to a complete halt. At that point I knew this thing was special. In this area it is extremely quiet especially at night, There was absolutely no sound to this vehicle. At times it seemed to move from this halted position. I could not detect how it got from A to B but I could tell it was not staying put. Its luminescent quality would jump in magnatude for a very brief period. I could tell this light could light up the sky if it wanted to. You could sense it tremendous power. The lighted object did not "bumble" after the initial sighting.Later two other object much more faint but with exactly the same luminescence came close to the original object and banked at 45 deg angle at a ridiculously fast rate of speed (like lightning)sped off and dissapered. When the objects got close to eachother they seemed to exchange energy sort of like static electricity in a way. The main object seemed to climb but very slowly. It stayed in position in the same portion of the sky but more like 70 deg. It was still there very bright but seemed higher and farther away. It was there when the sun came up and all other stars etc, where long gone. I did not see it leave. I went to work in Williams, AZ. and left the scene. This area has a wonderful black night sky with many bright stars. The main object was the brightest object in the sky. It had none of the usual red and green beacons as on regular aircraft. No sound, this area is so quiet you can hear an airplane many miles away if it is flying by. I noticed I had a hard time telling how close it was. Could of been 10, 20 or 50 miles away or maybe 3. It was hard to tell. Its light was backlit like a stage light. Definately not an incandescent beam (like an aircraft or car) I will never forget it.((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD))
