                  UFO sightings in PV, other areas

               Despite reports, Luke Air Force Base
               denies sending aircraft to investigate

A man reported sighting UFOs above a shopping center in
Prescott Valley at about 8 p.m.  Thursday night, according
to Prescott Valley police. Peter B. Davenport, director for
the National UFO reporting center in Seattle, said his
organization's hot line received more than a dozen calls last
night from several areas of Arizona regarding objects seen in
the sky.

Davenport said the hot line began receiving calls for a
sighting in the Paulden area, then Prescott, then the Glendale
area and the last report was for objects seen over Tucson.

A man from Paulden called The Daily Courier and said he saw
five diamond shaped objects with wispy tails around 8 p.m.
last night. Upon hearing that other people have reported also
seeing the objects, he said, "I'm glad to know I wasn't the
only weirdo."

Kurt Milam, spokesman for the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office,
said they received some calls last night from people who saw
low-flying objects, but YCSO did not dispatch deputies to
investigate.

A speaker at the Federal Aviation Administration said they had
only received calls from people wanting to know if any UFOs had
been sighted.

An astronomer called into the hot line office and told them he
saw the UFOs in northern Phoenix, five of them with lights.

According to the hot line speaker, Luke Air Force Base
apparently sent two jets last night to intercept the UFOs. The
pilots recorded the objects on camera, and returned to base.
Allegedly one pilot was shaken, and the base was locked down for
the night.

Media liaison at Luke Air Force Base Sgt. Rolla Suttmiller said
no aircraft were sent out and there was no lock-down, adding that
the cameras on the aircraft's only take pictures of targets
during practice.

She said the base received no calls Thursday night regarding UFO
sightings. "We do not respond to something like this," she said.
"And we do not fly in the evening."
