Large bright lights in the Sonoran Desert sighted on Sept. 11, 2003.3 construction guys heading from L.A. to St. Louis, avoiding Phoenix at rush hour. We pulled off I-8, heading east at Vetrol Rd., turning S. After several miles a sign read "Great Sonoran Desert". We pulled in directly W. to camp. We could hear and see I-8 far to the N.&S. Approx. 6-8 mi. SW lay the Sand Tank Mts. At approx. 9:30 p.m., I was sitting facing SW when instantly two large bright lights appeared. We tried to figure what it could be, as I-8 was visible, N&S, to our N. Suddenly, two more lights appeared SW of the first two. A bit further away, to the NW , another one popped into view...then the 5th went out slowly, 4 and 3 went out , then 2 & 1, N to S.Around 10:15 p.m. one of the other guys was sitting facing SW, and said "they're back". The first two lights were back, though much closer this time. I got out my video camera, w/700 zoom lens. There was no movement and no sound from the area where the lights were visible, and they stayed between the Sand Tank Mts. and us. After 2-3 min. they began to blink and flash either to each other or us. Slowly, the N. one flickered and evaporated...then the lone light did the same.It was my first time for a sighting on video..I have an exceptional 35 mm. still shot taken 6.5 miles SE of Corona, NM.Anyway, Marana, AZ. poster, you were not alone that night.
