I received an email from azpitbull on August 22, 2008. He used the submission form. He lives in Yuma, Arizona.

Azpitbull describes his sighting:

I walked outside at 5:00 a.m. and saw a strange bright light in the sky. I ran and grabbed my camcorder (Canon L2 HI-8 Camcorder), and began shooting. I don't know what it was, but it had brilliant colors. It glowed very brightly in fascinating multi-color arrays. Due to the size, I uploaded this video to youtube, and also reported it to MUFON.

I watched it for about 15 minutes. I was tired, very tired at the time. As the dawn approached, I went back inside, and went back outside about 20 mins later, and it was gone. I went out again early this morning to see if it was a star (constellational rotation) but it was not visible anywhere. When I said this thing was clolrful, I mean it was super super brilliant colors. I have the raw footage. What you saw was just a part. I still have it in the camera. Thank you for telling me about the auto versus manual setting. I just got this camera, and it is a pro model. There is alot of buttons and adjustments to use. This is the 2nd UFO I have seen in the past 2 months. The other UFO I saw was in Texas back in July. Although I did not have a camera at the time, myself and nephew both saw the same thing. It was a white oval object moving at incredible speeds at around 20k altitude.



Back to the issue, I wear glasses, and my eyes were extremely strained yesterday due to working databases all week on a computer. I have my camera setup on a tripod and ready for the next sighting. To prove the credibility (hi-8 tape is enough), I panned the camera down to a house, and back up in the air showing the relative height and location.


I swear I saw this thing morph into something I have already seen on youtube. It was looking like a horse stick figure. This is not my imagination either. It resembled this video for a few brief seconds.

I am in the military, and actually filmed this from my home in base housing. My identity cannot be disclosed to the public, for fear of reprisal.


Analysis

I have analyzed the photo using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and to the best of my knowledge it appears to be of a solid object that does not have the characteristics of airplane, helicopters, balloons,birds,planets or stars.

When viewing the video we see an object coming into and out of focus, due to camera shake and autofocing of camcorders. But, we get to see the real object when we capture some stills from the video.

Using various frames from the video I chose the ones above to judge its merits and what I discovered was pretty amazing.

The object appears to be crystalline in nature. Its side reflect the light and diamond shapes are clearly present in the top photo with the description "Closeup of Object and Posterized". I believe the object is coming into and dropping out of phase with this dimension. It is actually changing size and morphing as azpitbull videotaped it.

When we look at the "equalized" photo we see the aurora of the object. Is this a distortion of time/space or an energy signature?

The third photo labelled "Closeup and Auto Contrast" also features elements that lead me to believe the craft is crystalline in nature.

As stated previously this object is not a planet or a star. But the big question remains - is it extraterrestril or terrestrial? I am beginning to believe that the majority, if not all, of these craft are secret government black projects.
