Phoenix Lights
I really didn’t want to post this post about the Phoenix Lights, and, believe me, I don’t just believe, I know! I know the Yahyel will visit in the future. But, this post is about correcting a misnomer. All the available Phoenix lights visual evidence from 1997 do not show UFOs. I’m very sorry to say this. I’ve read hundreds of reports from both sides and it is my personal conclusion. You may have another view and additional unreported evidence. Please discuss with evidence in the comment section below.
Now, I’m not saying that the 700 or so witnesses to a triangular shaped object were mistaken. Far from it. The problem is that we have absolutely zero footage of that particular witnessing situation or the triangular shaped object, or anything alien for that matter. There is absolutely nothing of the real Phoenix Lights available anywhere. Not photo collections, not online. Nowhere. The Phoenix Lights that witnesses have come forth to confirm is a THIRD situation and we only have footage from two others.
Two ‘Official’ Sightings
There are two officially recognised ‘sightings’ recordings that are not actual recordings of the events that the witnesses have witnessed. The first one has been proven, beyond doubt, to be an airforce exercise featuring 5 jets in a V formation. There are technical records from the nearby airforce base of the five taking off, witness testimonials noting military aircraft, and the video footage shows that one of the lights moves out of alignment over a few seconds. So the video does not show a triangular shaped craft moving with static lights on the edge, but a group of airplanes shifting in position as they move across the sky.
The second, and more popular, video shows a group of a particular type of flare that can hang around for several minutes in a still, thin atmosphere, without causing smoke, moving or changing in luminosity. These flares are a special type called LUU-2B/B. Many media outlets interview witnesses talking about the after 8pm event of the triangular UFO that we do not have any footage of, then play footage from the after 10pm event of the flare drop.
No Real Footage of the Event
Flare drops, line-ups of aircraft waiting to land, and other military operations, happen with a lot of regularity in the region. Many residents would know the difference. It’s we ufologists that don’t live there that hope and pray for conclusive evidence. Unfortunately, nothing we have at the moment is conclusive, except witness testimonials that don’t match the available footage. So, there is actually no footage of the event.
The Yahyel are expected to return for another display (probably after the election!) and with our thousands of smart phones, hopefully we’ll grab an image or two. I look forward to that. But they’ll probably appear in a group of triangular shaped ships, so look out for something like that, rather than a line of lights in the sky.
