Did anyone here witness unexplained lights over Phoenix in early 1997?

Question

I saw them through the window of an airplane shortly after takeoff as I was leaving from a business trip. I'm interested to hear the perspectives of other witnesses.

Answer 1

Yes, I saw the lights, funny thing is it wasnt scarey seeing those huge things.  I remember running outside, and looking at these huge lights slowly moving across the sky.  they were real............ they tried to say it was something from the airforce base, yah right it was!!!   it wasnt anything from this world..................

Answer 2

I am not sure, but I think it was the Mother ship coming for McCain.  If we are lucky, then they took him with them.

Answer 3

No, but I happened to be in Mexico City during the eclipse.

Answer 4

Like a question above me i hope that obamma and hillary get abducted never to come back(with mcain too)

Answer 5

This will sound funny so I MUST tell it in science fictional patterns.  Mack lived in Ajo, Arizona, from 1995 to 1999.  During his time in that remote region of Arizona, Mack witnessed and filmed what could be called an In Flight Landing Field.  Each time it came over the small town of Ajo, people would try and take pictures of it.

Mack, was an odd-ball.  He saw UFO's everywhere...so when he took pictures of this ship flying closely over head. Heading towards Berry Gold Water Air Force Range, over Black Gap.  The films were destroyed. By a man who felt for him.

Answer 6

There was a show on TV recently about that.  I believe it's the same show Peter D refers to in his answer.  There was no "thorough explanation" that the objects were flares, but that explanation was discussed.  Odd that the military base nearby at first said they had no operations going on at that time.  Months later, they "admitted" to a secret operation in which flares were dropped.  There was video shown of the objects and they did not look like flares to me.  Moreover, no explanation was given--flares or otherwise--for the unidentified objects which were also spotted in a nearby area of Arizona a few hours earlier that same night and seen by many people.

Answer 7

I wasn't there, but I have a friend who has a friend who says she saw them while driving between Tucson and Phoenix.

Answer 8

never believe anything our government states on ufo and et encounters.    they have not come forward to the truth yet.  check out the battle over los angeles that happened in 1948, or william coopers seminar on ufo's.  til the government tells the truth, just leave them out of this equation.   i was not there in phoenix, but i have a friend that was and was an eye witness to the phenomena.

Answer 9

sorry, but aliens don't exist.

Answer 10

I was not there, but I saw a pretty decent documentary on the subject.  The producers took the angle that the lights were ET in nature.  Then in the second half of the show they thoroughly explained how it was nothing more than flares dropped by the Air Force.
