Triangle
over Navajo Nation |

Schubert wrote: "According to Sean and Deanna Dover, they were driving home from Flagstaff toward Leupp when Deanna spotted a curious looking object above their Honda Accord." She quotes these witnesses: "I saw a bright light and told my brother to watch it," Deanna, 20, said. "Then it disappeared, then reappeared. I didn't see it as much as he did, because I had to concentrate on driving."
Sean, a senior at Sinagua High School commented: "We were about 10 miles out of Leupp and my sister said she saw something, it had a circle around it and was about one-and-a-half miles above us. It had three lights and was a triangular shape. We kept on driving and when we reached Leupp we saw it had four lights".
As Sean and Deanna Dover drove into Leupp, they told their parents of the sighting, according to the Winslow Mail report. Since their father is a police ranger with the Navajo Nation Police, Sean grabbed the night-vision goggles his dad uses on the job to try to get a better look at the object. Sean was quoted as saying: "Then two jets intercepted it in the air. They came from the southwest, then it headed east. Eight minutes later it lost them and circled back to Leupp. When it got here it started blinking its lights."
Meanwhile, other local residents were seeing the same thing. As the Dover family was observing the activity in the sky, their mother Daisy's friend Denise Fredericks, a teacher at Leupp Elementary School, was at home watching the same thing. She commented: "I was coming home from my son's basketball game in Dilkon. When I came inside the house my husband said, 'Daisy just called and said there was something in the sky,' then I saw a triangular thing go overhead,"
Fredericks and Daisy Scott-Dover then met in the center of Leupp near the gas station and watched the events with approximately 30 other stargazers: "It was flying straight and then it turned. It went toward Bird Springs and then turned toward Tolani Lake and then came back this way."
Each of the witnesses described the object as triangular with three or four tiers. On the underside of the craft was a sphere with a pulsating light. Fredericks and Scott-Dover said the UFO emitted a 'yellowish' light and was approximately twice the size of the Leupp Elementary School gymnasium. The UFO circled the area 15 times. On the last turn, the craft lights went dark, then suddenly and rapidly illuminated across in a sequential pattern. Finally, the UFO headed southeast toward Winslow.
Phoenix Lights – Military claims they were flairs!
On the evening of 6th February, 2007, calls poured in to police and TV stations after many residents of the metropolitan Phoenix region observed a line of four bright lights near the horizon in the western sky at approximately 8 p.m. Arizona time. Videotape of the lights was taken and broadcast on local TV news programs shortly after the incident occurred. According to news reports, military officials stated the lights were flares being used as targets during Marine Corps and Air Force pilot training operations nearby. Officials said a training exercise was being conducted by the Marine Corps Air Station in Yuma at the Barry Goldwater Gunnery Range west of Phoenix. In addition, six Air Force F-16s based at Luke Air Force Base on the west side of metro Phoenix were also participating in training exercises that involved flares, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. Military flares were also given as the cause of the recent Arkansas sighting when a retired Air Force colonel and F-16 pilot with 32 years of service reported several unusual lights that he was convinced were not conventional earthly aircraft or objects. How a veteran Air Force officer and pilot could mistake military flares for extraterrestrial phenomena puzzled many who read about that incident and the official explanation.
