Mysterious lights hovering above the east Valley have many wondering if we've had a close encounter.
The couple says they spotted the phenomenon outside their Mesa home on Sunday around nine that night. They say the object seemed to come from the southeast.
The object captured on two cell phones looks like a bright orb hovering silently in the sky. Every few moments, the object appears to drop what looks to be flares towards the ground.
ABC15 reached out to several aviation experts who theorized the lights seen Sunday could be from parachute flares used by the military or even helicopters or other aircraft dropping flares during training.
In fact, the Outlaw Military Operations Area sits not far from where the video was shot. But video found online of those types of exercises just doesn't seem to match.
ABC15 reached out to the Federal Aviation Administration, Luke Air Force Base and the Army National Guard, but none could say for certain what it was.

what are “Outlaw Military Operations” and why is there an area for them?
Living next to Eglin AFB, we see weird stuff, lights, etc, in the skies all the time and don’t think anything about it................
Didn’t look like parachute flares, more like burning or
melting material.
Parachute flares are whiter/brighter and burn longer
and stay aloft for longer.
Considering all the seismic activity on the West Coast, it’s probably nothing more than ball lightning generated by quartz crystals being squeezed deep underground.
Chinese lanterns it sounds like.
Outlaw Military Operations are anything the media can’t comprehend.
During the Obama administration they were secretive and called Hidden Outlaw Military Operations or HOMO.
S/for those who actually believe it.
Garbage bag hot air balloons?
Not aliens. They got bored with the whole puzzling lights thing years ago.
It is said the military has tech that we know nothing about at this point.
Obviously it’s illegal aliens.
Not all of them come from earth, you know.
IR decoy flares burn orange, are released in clusters and follow a ballistic trajectory behind an airplane.
By color and duration, they look like IR flares in the video. We see 'em all the time here at the Goldwater range. Planes blow out their unspent flares once a dispenser module is activated to prevent accidental release when they RTB. (The dispensers are one time use)
Similar lights over part of LA a few nights ago.
“Outlaw” is the name of a military operations area in Arizona. It’s east of Phoenix and contains the town of Superior.
