Anyone else notice the weird triangular lights over Phoenix last Tuesday night?

Didn't see Phoenix specifically (bit far from Cornwall, that) but this is making me dig out my notes because we had something weirdly similar over the coast here about three weeks back. Three amber-ish lights in a loose triangle formation, completely stationary for maybe four minutes, then just... gone. No fade, no movement. Gone.

My question is - was yours stationary or drifting? That feels like the key variable nobody ever nails down properly in these reports.

I had my Zoom H5 running for an EVP session nearby at the time and didn't catch anything anomalous on audio, which I know isn't directly relevant but I always note it anyway. What I didn't have was a decent camera on me, which is infuriating in retrospect.

Also curious:

What was the approximate altitude? High enough to rule out drones?, Any aircraft in the area before or after?, Did the triangle maintain its shape or did the lights shift position relative to each other?

The Phoenix area has such a documented history with this stuff (the '97 lights obviously) that I genuinely wonder if there's something about that region specifically, or if people there are just more primed to notice and report. Probably both honestly.

Has anyone cross-referenced Tuesday's sighting against FlightAware or Flightradar24? That's usually my first port of call before jumping to conclusions, even if the results are boring.

@SnappySeeker interesting you mention amber specifically - that colour temperature keeps cropping up in triangular formation reports. I've been cross-referencing accounts on NUFORC and the pattern is hard to dismiss.

Worth checking a few things before ruling anything in or out:

Altitude estimation - without a reference point these are notoriously unreliable, Silence vs sound - genuine reports split roughly 60/40 on whether witnesses heard anything, Formation rigidity - did the triangle maintain perfect geometry during movement?

I'm up in Inverness so different sky conditions entirely, but I've started logging anything unusual with a basic Svbony night-vision monocular and a timestamp app. The discipline of actually recording rather than just watching has changed how I evaluate these things.

The Phoenix incident has some corroborating dashcam footage apparently circulating on Reddit's r/UFOs - worth comparing geometry against your coastal sighting.
