3 bright orange lights seen over east TucsonOn 12/04/13 at 19:00 I entered the parking lot of Sabino Canyon which is located on the edge of NE Tucson. While getting things out of my car trunk for a night walk up the canyon, I looked to the SE over the very eastern edge of SE Tucson and saw a bright orange light about 3 times the size of Venus in the night sky. The light was self contained, laser precision and didn't have the star burst glare of plane headlights. Even though it was self contained and was not emitting a flame in any way, it had the characteristics of being somewhat on fire.This light proceeded towards me from about 10 miles away and then turned and went up into the cloud layer above the nearby Rincon Mtns. The event lasted about 45 seconds.Just a few seconds later another identical light appeared from behind a nearby hill again to the SE of me but farther west than the first object. It seemed to be coming up right out of the city itself since it started so low. Again it traveled somewhat towards me and then went up gradually in the clouds above the Rincons.By this time I had my binoculars out and noted that it had no running lights or any other colored lights around it. This one took about one minute from start to finish of the sighting.Then yet another one appeared even farther to the west but this time was seen IN FRONT OF a very small hill just 2 to 3 miles away. It then proceeded for 1 minute to climb up into the cloud layers above the Rincons traveling for one minute or less.There was no wind other than a mile zephyr breeze of 1 to 2 miles an hour. All of these objects travelled several miles of sky in less than a minute each thus ruling out Chinese lanterns. Also, it rules out that they came from Davis Monthan AFB since the last light was seen starting it's course in front of the hill just a couple miles from me and also the AFB is located farther west from where the first 2 came from.There was no sound emitted from any of these objects. I saw the last object VERY clearly through my binoculars and it had no running lights as noted with the 2nd one as well.
