Photos captured a blue cigar-shaped object flying across the sky.

The flying light appeared to make twists and turns, giving viewers a possible once-in-a-lifetime show.

Eyewitnesses of the event gawked at the moment saying: "Look at that, it’s moving, that’s so weird.”

Others described its movement saying, “It’s kinda like streaking.”

While flying through Scottsdale, the alleged UFO began to pulsate and stretch across the sky.

Many people were concerned about what exactly it could be.

“It cannot be like drones or something," one man speculated.

People then began to notice the blue object separating into two different pieces

“Now it’s like separating,” he said. “Dude, that’s crazy.”

Believe it or not, this is not the only alleged UFO sighting that has happened in recent weeks.

UFO Encounters: Earth's Most Active Extraterrestrial Hotspots

Last month, Dr. Sebastian Voltmer recorded an object that flew through the night sky.

Voltmer said: “While I was filming the moon, I suddenly saw a fast, bright something darting through the image."

As someone who doesn't believe in UFOs, he admitted he could not explain what he saw.

He first thought that it could have been a satellite, however, it was at the wrong point of the earth's orbit, and the speed that it was going at was way too fast for a normal satellite.

The Phoenix Lights

Phoenix, Arizona, was the epicenter for the blockbuster event but the UFOs were also seen over Nevada and across into Mexico.

The lights could be seen for three hours and covered a space of 300 miles.

There were two distinct parts to the event - firstly a number of people reported seeing a triangular formation of lights, possibly attached to a "V-shaped" object" flying overhead on March 13, 1997.

People described the "craft" as silent, slow and massive.

Some figures even described it as being up to 6,000ft across - the size of 17 football pitches.

Arizona witness Tim Ley said: "It was astonishing and a little frightening. It was so big and so strange.

"All you could see was the outline as though something was blotting out the stars."

The next stage of the event saw a string of up to nine lights appearing in the sky.

Videos showed them twinkling in the sky as the dumbfounded city of Phoenix watched on below.

The lights shimmered for around ten minutes in a V-shaped formation before rapidly vanishing without a trace.

Hundreds - if not thousands - of people bared witness to the amazing sights as many hailed it as the most extraordinary UFO encounter since Roswell.

It caused such chaos in the US that the story of the lights were even chronicled as part of a series by Star Wars and Star Trek filmmaker JJ Abrams' production company, simply called "UFO".

The US Air Force later claimed the lights were flares dropped by A-10 'Warthogs' planes during a training exercise

He also ruled out the potential UFO being a meteor since he didn't observe the distinctive tail or the slow speed that's associated with it.

The International Meteor Organisation also confirmed that they didn't have any records of one of the shooting stars at the time, reports .

Voltmer also doesn't believe that he saw any dust in the lens that could have posed as the flying object.

He told : “I actually assume that it was at an altitude of 100 to 200 kilometers, i.e. in the transition to the so-called Low Earth Orbit."

The exact shape of the object cannot be seen from the still image as it has been blurred by the speed at which it was traveling.
