SIGHTING: PHOENIX, ARIZONA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"Today, (sunday, december 24th, 2017) at 4:54pm mst my husband and i were out on our patio when we spotted an odd thing sparkling in the sky. it was moving west across the sky at a steady pace. we were not sure if it was just a plane we were seeing at an odd angle, causing an optical illusion due to sunlight or position. once we realized it definitely was not a plane due to how it was moving i took out my iphone to record what we were seeing. i tried to zoom in as much as possible, as well as taking some photos. at one point the object just stopped, hovered and then changed direction. from our perspective, the object started out heading west, stopped, hovered and then started heading south or southeast. also, the odd thing was when i tried to take photos of it (not just video) the object would only appear in some of the photos and i was snapping them one after another. again, the object never moved at a fast speed, it did do some odd pauses then changing its path, but it never went super fast or anything. the object was clearly at a very high altitude and a good distance. we watched it for a good 5 to 10 minutes before we could no longer keep staring straight up at the sky. also, it was getting smaller and smaller as if it was getting higher, which made it harder to keep an eye on it. i attached all the photos i took to the email. i also uploaded the videos i took to youtube (files were too large to send via email) links to the videos are here- https://youtu.Be/hjm5_6hiq2k https://youtu.Be/ktqor4mmmbe https://youtu.Be/ggqiljxi1is not sure if we were seeing a very odd drone with capabilities to stay very high in the sky and travel a long distance? all we know is it was not a plane and it was very odd.
