There includes a choppy excerpt from the video of the object changing directions at about the :45 mark.

I was fortuanate to see the raw video as it was played for the first time on Channel 9 in the preceding hour. It was longer in duration, easier to see teh object, and did not have the distracting “ring”.
None of these video links are remotely close to what I saw here in Phoenix, I am 2 miles south and east of the Cardinals stadium. I dont have audio on my computer and would be curious to know what direction these were taken from the LA Area, they are about the same time as what I saw fly by that seemed like it came from directly west of Phoenix flew across the sky south of the valley and disappeared (appearing to split) way South of us, guessing East of Tucson. It was VERY low on the horizon, Barely above the final flight path of sky harbor, when I first saw it, just above the tops of South Mountain from my vantage point, It looked like a HUGE glowing green firework and we all saw the same yellowish propulsion type sparks coming out the back of it. Looked like a bottle rocket that would have had to been about the size of an apollo rocket... all three of us were waiting for the BANG... and laughed saying it must have been a dud... We thought this was just something low and close by here when we saw it, now that I am realizing the scale of this, the above references are mentioned for directional purposes only, because east of Tucson is probably more like gulf of Mexico in reality...
