Orange Colored Object Made Unusual Maneuvers Over Tucson Arizona

Date:  November 1, 2012
Time:  Approx: 8:30 p.m.

Hello Brian, I was looking on the internet to see if there were any sightings on what I and my friend saw last night around 8:30 p.m. in the skies over Tucson.

There were 2 sightings actually.

We were out looking for satellites streaking across the sky as we do every night. I noticed a bright light that faded very fast.

It was orange(ish) color, but I had my doubts as it seemed to be pulsating twice then disappearing as it traveled slowly northwest. We saw it again, and that is when a second one, right above us pulsated. It looked like a normal dim star at first. 

It was completely still, but it kept turning very bright for a few seconds. I would compare it to seeing the brightest star in the sky and then it would dim quickly.

The strange part is that suddenly, it began to move slowly, growing very bright and dim. It would then stop and almost masquerade as star, mixing in to some of the constellations. The strange thing is that it was not moving in one steady line. It would change directions. 

It was incredible to watch, especially when it began to speed up, slow down, stop, pulse and then move in unpredictable patterns. It still was northbound, but it would move to the left, and then the right after it stopped, still shining light down (it almost seemed like it was shining it to us). 

Eventually, it would suddenly disappear, and then come back. It was a good 15 minutes or so before we lost it in the horizon. I wanted so much to get a video of it, but my camera would not grab anything in the dark skies.

I just wanted to share this, as this was something I shared right after we saw this with my friends on Facebook last night. Yours is the first site I found with any reference with the same date and nearby area as we are south of you.

Good luck in finding others who may have seen it. Anyone sitting outside around the time we saw it would not have missed it, it was brighter than the brightest star , and then fade away to a normal colored star, still with a slight orange color to it.

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.

Also, please feel free to send in your sightings that have happened years ago. So many of these older sightings are nothing short of amazing.
