UFO Lights Up Phoenix Skies September 17th 2011

"GILBERT, AZ - For the second time this week , lights seen moving through the Valley sky prompted much speculation. But it turns out the lights were likely nothing strange at all.

We began receiving reports from several East Valley residents who saw the set of lights just before 7:30 p.m. Saturday.

Video footage from ABC15 viewer Nicole Cuellar showed the lights going in a circular motion and streaking through the sky as residents watched below.

While the sighting caused quite a stir, it turns out the lights were likely nothing strange at all.

The Gilbert Constitution Fair was held Saturday night, with skydivers scheduled to make an appearance over the event at 7:15 p.m.

Several viewers reported on the ABC15 Facebook page that the divers were carrying flares as they made their way toward the ground.

This marks the second time this week that glowing lights in the Arizona sky have sparked curiosity.

On Wednesday night, residents across the Southwest witnessed a "glowing object" fly across the night sky .

A NASA scientist said Thursday the brilliant light was most likely a piece of asteroid that entered Earth's atmosphere."
