I'm not going to write much about the "Lights over Phoenix" because I attached a couple of videos showing this phenomena. On March 13, 1997, around 8:30 pm many Phoenicians and others all over Arizona, stepped out of their homes to catch a glimpse of the Hail-Bob or sometimes referred to as Hale-Bopp comet. What they saw moving in the night skies was something much more, a series of strange lights. In the distance the lights appeared to be independent of each other but as they got closer to the observer, it looked like an upside down V shape with lights on it. This wedge like object was reported to be moving South, slowly through the state of Arizona. People have stated seeing it in Tucson around 8:45 pm, giving the same description as was reported in Phoenix. There is no logical explanation for the lights but some evidence explains the lights as airplanes. Video evidence shows the lights as separate entities moving individually and not as a single object. The explanation is that some of the witnesses may have had their eyes play tricks on them forming the illusion of one object.I've watched all the documentaries on this phenomena and found it interesting. The videos are stronge evidence showing the lights from different angles, forming a V shape traveling over the skies of Phoenix. Since it happened in my backyard, I am sorry that I missed the whole event. I was probably doing something much more exciting like watching TV.

I have to admit, I missed the original lights, but the following November first, my best friend and I were driving behind South Mountain at night and saw a triangular grouping of lights overhead that were down below the height of the mountain and moving west to east. They stayed in formation and were very bright pale yellow, but not fuzzy like most bright lights (like high beams usually are). They remained well defined. They went right over us. I was angry because my camera was at the house instead of in the car where I like to keep it for when I run into neat sunsets and such. Both of us shook our heads and couldn't explain it. We even pulled over and listened, but it was definitely not helicopters. It was silent.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty cool story. Too bad you didn't have your camera, I would have loved to see those pictures. Everytime I'm out in the night time, I'm always looking at the sky in hopes to catch something unusual. I carry my flip video camera and cell phone which has a camera, in hopes to document any findngs. Nothing yet! I really don't remember what I was doing that night when thousands saw the lights. I am sorry that I missed it. I also want to say that Arizona has some of the most beautiful sunsets.
ReplyDeleteI think one of the most interesting aspects to this story is how the Arizona governor initially made fun of those who thought they saw alien space craft and then years later came back out and said he saw the exact same thing. Weird.
ReplyDeleteMan to bad I was living in California at the time of this! Lol. Although now that I think of it, I do remember hearing about this on the news out in Cali. Just watching those videos, and knowing that 10,000 people saw it, how can you deny it!?! There was even a military man who said it wasn't anything military-esque. Even the Governor admitted he thought they were strange. I think that's the coolest, most convincing evidence of a UFO I've ever seen!
