UFO OVER ARIZONA'S NAVAJO NATION

Two weeks ago, almost to the day, and at the same time of the evening, an unusual flying object was spotted over the Navajo Nation in northeastern Arizona.

Near the small town of Leupp, local people reported a bright light and a flying object that was variously reported as disc or circular-shaped and as triangle-shaped.

The Winslow Mail newspaper reported that the incident "reportedly took place at approximately 7:40 p.m., Wed., Jan. 24 and was visible until after 9 p.m."

Winslow Mail reporter Rebecca Schubert quoted witnesses in her Jan. 31 article headlined "Large UFO spotted near Winslow: Northern Arizona Navajos watch a strange ship fly around for over an hour."

Schubert wrote, "According to Sean and Deanna Dover, they were driving home from Flagstaff toward Leupp when Deanna spotted a curious looking object above their Honda Accord."

She quotes these witnesses: "I saw a bright light and told my brother to watch it," Deanna, 20, said. "Then it disappeared, then reappeared. I didn't see it as much as he did, because I had to concentrate on driving."

The article provided more details of the witnesses' statement: "We were about 10 miles out of Leupp and my sister said she saw something," said Sean, a senior at Sinagua High School. "It had a circle around it and was about one-and-a-half miles above us. It had three lights and was a triangular shape. We kept on driving and when we reached Leupp we saw it had four lights," Sean said.

As Sean and Deanna Dover drove into Leupp, they told their parents of the sighting, according to the Winslow Mail report. Since their father is a police ranger with the Navajo Nation Police, Sean grabbed the night-vision goggles his dad uses on the job to try to get a better look at the object.

"Then two jets intercepted it in the air. They came from the southwest," Sean was quoted as saying. "Then it headed east. Eight minutes later it lost them and circled back to Leupp. When it got here it started blinking its lights."

Meanwhile, other local residents were seeing the same thing. As the Dover family was observing the activity in the sky, their mother Daisy's friend Denise Fredericks, a teacher at Leupp Elementary School, was at home watching the same thing.

"I was coming home from my son's basketball game in Dilkon. When I came inside the house my husband said, 'Daisy just called and said there was something in the sky,' then I saw a triangular thing go overhead," the Winslow Mail quoted Fredericks as saying.

"Fredericks and Daisy Scott-Dover then met in the center of Leupp near the gas station and watched the events with approximately 30 other stargazers," according to the Mail report. "It was flying straight and then it turned. It went toward Bird Springs and then turned toward Tolani Lake and then came back this way."

Mail reporter Schubert also wrote that, "Each of the witnesses described the object as triangular with three or four tiers. On the underside of the craft was a sphere with a pulsating light. Fredericks and Scott-Dover said the UFO emitted a 'yellowish' light and was approximately twice the size of the Leupp Elementary School gymnasium."

"The UFO circled the area 15 times. On the last turn, the craft lights went dark, then suddenly and rapidly illuminated across in a sequential pattern. Finally, the UFO headed southeast toward Winslow," Schubert reported.
