Arizona residents were baffled by a series of mysterious lights that appeared over the town of Queen Creek on Monday night.

The lights formed a long cluster and changed formation at one point, according to those who spotted them. Many residents snapped photos of the lights as they moved through the sky around 8 p.m. Monday.  

Theories range from lanterns, nighttime skydivers or LED lights tied to drones. Some even think they may have been visitors from outer space.  

There's no official word on what the hundreds of lights were.
