Aircraft with Four white lights with no red/green running lights
On January 30, 2020 around 2200 hours, I was in the whirlpool at Sun Life RV Park located at University Driver and Higley Road in Mesa AZ. Looking skyward I noticed a commercial passenger jet (I don’t recall the name of the airline) moving on a heading from the SE to the NW apparently heading for the Sky Harbor airport. I then noticed an aircraft heading from the NE to the SW. The aircraft passed underneath the passenger jet in very close proximity which I thought was close to a near miss. The second aircraft approached my position and flew directly overhead. The aircraft did not display any red/green running lights nor any strobe lights. Neither did I observe any lights which would have appeared in the cockpit area. The only lights I saw was two vertical bright white lights and the end of what would have been the ends of a fixed winged aircraft.
The lights were positioned as follows: O O O O I heard the engine noise of the passenger jet but did not hear any other sounds as the second aircraft passed overhead. After the aircraft was downrange the configuration of the lights remained the same.
In other words the aircraft lights appeared the same coming at me and going away from me. In the darkness I could only see the lights. I could not see an outline of the aircraft.
I called Sky Harbor and was transferred to someone possibly in the control tower and explained what I observed. He said he would review the radar recording. Subsequent attempts to reach anyone for a follow-up conversation proved fruitless.
