Weird lights in woods above Mogollon Rim, AZ.My boyfriend and I were driving north of Payson looking for a campground. As it was very late, we picked the closest one to where we were at and settled in. Our site was far from the road in case people might drive by and try to bother us. We decided to forego the tent and sleep in the car as it was so late. I was preparing my sleeping bag which he smoked a cigar and went to the restroom. While laying in my bag, I was looking at all the stars through the sunroof. He was standing outside the car.At some point, I looked into the woods in the direction toward the restrooms. I saw lights that twinkled and appeared to be moving slowly. The best description to give would be that they were similar to when a group of people have flashlights and walk, the lights stay somewhat level, but move back and forth, up and down a bit. The lights also would go off completely and come back on.At this point, I wasn't scared. I asked my boyfriend what the lights were since he had walked over to the restroom a minute ago. He said he didn't know and that we should just leave. That scared me since he is typically not scared of anything. So he jumped in the car and started driving while I was climbing from the back into the front seat.While we drove, I looked into the woods. The lights went off and did not come back on.The easy explanation is that these were hunters, or people who lived nearby. But there were no houses around for several miles, and no cars parked at the side of the road. There were no other campers in the area and many camps were closed down due to the season.My natural feeling what that we should go and explore what the light was, and that scares me.I can't say that this was a UFO. But I can say it was not human, not a building, not a campfire. This area of the woods was very small and there was no way it could have been anything easily explanable.((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD))
