Pulsating Purple Object in North Phoenix 1-24-2012
As I walked out of my work I saw an INTENSE purple pulsating light. It immediately got the attention of me as well as a few coworkers who were with me.
It was completly silent. It bobbed and weaved in a general vicinity for about 15 minutes before moving over the horizon, where I lost visual contact.
The color was the most striking feature of this object. At times it appeared a solid magenta, but at other times it almost looked like a black light with a blue aura.
It seemed like it was about a mile away tops, and about 1000 feet up. Planes passed by in the background and were MUCH further away. If it were a plane or helocopter, the engines/rotors should have been easily heard.
I initially thought it could have been a balloon tied to the ground bobbing in the wind with a light attached, but as it started moving far from the original spot, towards the horizon and back, far out of the range of a balloon string, I ruled that out.
I captured about 5 minutes of footage with my phone. It conveys the silence and the movement, but falls short on conveying the intense color of the light. I started filming about a minute or 2 after i spotted it and the video ends about 8 minutes before I lost visual.
