The airfield was not lit as as the aircraft had landed. It was not city lights we observed or Venus. We were all well trained weathermen as well.

Full Description & Details

I was an airtraffic controller in DavisMonthan Control tower, night shift. Five lights appeared out of nowhere over the base. They split into two groups and did formation manovers. Tucson tower, five miles from us watched them also and asked if we had high speed jet helicopter training going on. The Tucson approach radar said they could see them. Albuqueque Air Route Traffic Control called and said they were tracking them also. They were in the area for almost an hour. They formed up and headed East at high speed. The long range radar guessed they were going 1200 per hour. They dissapeared from radar over White Sands NM. Unable to give better discription of objects other than white globes.. The next day my Squadron Commander called us in and told us we were not to discuss it.

I saw many other things over the years on radar and sometimes pilots would ask if I knew what it was that had pulled up next to them. The Tucson observation was special as it was seen by multiple towers and radar sites.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

The objects moved and turned at speeds our best fighters could not have close too. The base was a fighter base and I was familiar with everything that flew. My Commander seemed shaken when he talked to us and he was pretty hard nosed.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have seen many UFOs for want of a better word. Many pilots have reported them to me. I did controlling in Europe, all over the states and in the long area between Alaska dn Toyko. Something with intelligence is in the skies, I dont know what.
