Mysterious line of lights....that disappeared...and reappeared many times.
A photographer and I were returning to Phoenix from a commercial shoot in Lake Havasu, Arizona when I noticed a line of lights above a mountain. I asked my friend to take a look at the them, since I was driving, and tell me what they were. He told me they were moving.
They first appeared to me like lights at the end of a runway or something. I was curious if there was an airport nearby. But my photographer said they were rotating. I began looking at them and they stayed in a line for a while...maybe 30 minutes. But then they began dipping up and down and disappeared behind a mountain. Suddenly a flash happened... and 4 lights spread out from this flash. This same routine would happen...they would disappear...then a flash...then 3 or 4 more lights in a row.
At the same time...we noticed other blinking lights above us...one was leaving a trail...while other lights flashed about. Then...they would all disappear. They appeared to be blue and red. This happened about 5 times.
But the big orange lights...seemed to stay a bit ahead of us and to the south of I-10 for 100 miles or so....
We finally pulled off the freeway and got our video camera out....and captured some pictures I will not see until tomorrow. We missed the best part of this light spectacle on camera....but we do have lights appearing and disappearing......
