That formation, whatever it was, flew directly over us at a much higher altitude than the flares.

However, there was a second set of lights that night - the V-shaped formation that was initially shown on film by the local TV networks. We clearly saw the flares to our west, over the Goldwater range - a familiar sight to my husband. My husband and I were out flying that night in the vicinity of the Stanfield VOR. Here's a story that's typical of the many found on the Internet, from Jan Markham of Gilbert Arizona: Plenty of verbal reports told very different stories over the weeks following the incident, but every single photograph showed a simple line of lights beyond the Sierra Estrella.Īs has been thoroughly documented, including by a Fox television special, the moment that each light disappeared on the evidential videotapes corresponded exactly with the horizon line of the Sierra Estrella mountains, proving that the lights were behind the mountains, and not over Phoenix. This was the most documented UFO sighting in American history, and every last photograph showed exactly the same thing. Not a single photograph or frame of video showed anything else.
Hundreds of photographs, hours of video, and all of it showing a line of lights in the sky above the city lights of Phoenix, looking toward the Sierra Estrella mountains and the Goldwater Range. Lots of people in the Phoenix area did own cameras, and they all filmed exactly the same thing. Too bad none of these people owned cameras. What would have been truly unusual and shocking is if there had been no other reports from nearby areas. And, obviously, such a furor offers an easy opportunity for any clown to go on the news to say that a triangle-shaped craft passed over his house on its way to Phoenix. UFO's are reported nearly every day in most areas by someone, so it's to be expected that the normal background noise of typical reports would be given special attention during a large-scale episode like the Phoenix Lights. Over the next couple of weeks, corroborating reports flooded in, of triangle-shaped craft from as far away as Henderson, Nevada cruising over the southwest, to Prescott, over Phoenix, and off toward Tucson. I remember my sense of amazement at witnessing something truly unexplainable: Could this actually be alien spacecraft? I remember watching it on the news with my wife. We all just looked up into the sky, and saw something unlike anything we'd ever seen before. The Air National Guard is the Air Force's reserve unit, similar to the Army Reserve.īut the rest of us regular people didn't know anything about this. They don't have desert bombing ranges in Maryland, so the pilots go to places like Arizona for some of their training. The Phoenix Lights episode is a running joke in the Air Force and especially at the 104th Fighter Squadron of the Maryland Air National Guard, whose aircraft were involved. The flares are typically dropped at lower altitudes, where they are not visible from Phoenix, due to the intervening Sierra Estrella mountain range. Goldwater Range where a flight of four A-10 ground attack aircraft were jettisoning leftover illumination flares. The incident came as no surprise to anyone at nearby Luke Air Force Base (named for World War I ace Lt. Hundreds of photographs and videos were taken by observers throughout the region, making it among the most documented UFO sightings ever. It was the night of Mawhen a slanting line of bright lights appeared one-by-one in the sky beyond Phoenix, Arizona. Perhaps it's the recent 10-year anniversary of the event, or perhaps it's the former Arizona governor's recent confession that he believes they were actually an alien spacecraft, but the Phoenix Lights have been back in the news again. Tonight we're going to grab our shotguns, jump into our rambling pickup truck, and chase a massive triangular UFO as it courses silently across the American southwest, for we are (once again) on the trail of the infamous Phoenix Lights.
