Phoenix Lights
« on: April 23, 2016, 12:06:41 pm »
On another Unsolved Mysteries edition, that I may have missed the beginning, it showed part of the program on what seemed another Phoenix Lights story to the main one that has been about the Giant Triangle witnessed some years ago in 1997 by many witnesses.

It may have been related to it...but the parts that I seen did not really seem to mention the Giant Triangle or to show this sort of famous image..



It showed a series of pictures from varied locations of what various witnesses claimed to have seen..

The Military had claimed that what was witnessed had been Military Flares...that had occurred between 9 and 10 pm..But witnesses had seen several things occur an hour or so before...

NEW ANALYSIS DEBUNKS MILITARY FLARE EXPLANATION FOR PHOENIX LIGHTS BOOMERANG VIDEO

On March 13, 1997, at 10pm, Michael Krzyston shot a video tape of strange lights hovering above the city of Phoenix, Arizona. Another video tape was shot at around the same time fifteen miles away. The bizarre lights were seen by over a thousand people in Phoenix during that night, which was when the Hale-Bopp Comet passed over the sky. Soon afterwards, the military came forward with an explanation for the strange lights. Captain Drew Sullins claimed that fighter jets were doing a night training exercise in the vicinity of the sightings area, and the jets dropped flares, which were the lights. However, the problem with the explanation was that the military claimed that they dropped flares between 9pm and 10pm, while the most impressive sightings of the lights occurred between 8pm and 9pm, making many believe that the lights were actually UFOs. At 8:10pm, nearly an hour before the military dropped flares, Ross Nickle and his family were driving along a highway 90 miles north of Phoenix when his son saw strange lights from above, but Ross first thought they were stars or an airplane.

One eyewitness sighting of the Phoenix Lights
However, when they got outside of their car, the lights began moving but made no sound and were about 1000 feet in the air. Then, at 8:30pm, a half hour before the military began dropping flares, a commercial airline pilot and his wife were driving 90 miles south of the Nickles when he saw the strange lights in sky and even though he was a pilot, he had no idea what the lights were, and that they made no noise, and the lights were pointing down, which is inconsistent with an airplane. Fourteen miles southeast of the pilot's sighting and five minutes later, still twenty five minutes before the military dropped flares, Ozma Linderman and her boyfriend saw the strange lights as well. The lights were traveling at the same speed at large spaces apart from each other. Then, the object turned red and oval-shaped, and then shot up into the sky and disappeared. Truck driver Gary Morris was driving at 8:45pm, fifteen minutes before military flares were dropped, when he and another trucker saw the lights about ten miles south of Ozma's sighting. Within one hour, the Phoenix lights flew a total of 300 miles across the state of Arizona. An hour would pass before Michael Krzyston would videotape the lights. The military continues to stand by their claim that the flares that they dropped were the "Phoenix lights", and that Krzyston's videotape is proof. However, actual video of military flares being dropped looks nowhere similar to the lights that Krzyston filmed, and they also do not match any of the other sightings of the lights. For the military, the case of the "Phoenix Lights" is closed, but for the people that sighted the lights, they believe that what they saw were not flares, and were instead UFOs.
Background: The Hale-Bopp Comet was one of the most widely observed comets during the 20th century, and passed over Phoenix, Arizona, along with the rest of the Southwest United States, on March 13, 1997, when the Phoenix Lights occurred. The city of Phoenix is located in Arizona and has a population of 1,440,000.
Investigations: UFO investigator Richard Motsen has investigated the Phoneix Lights since the sightings occurred. Interestingly, Motsen agrees partially with the military's explanation, in that the 10pm event videotaped by Michael Krzyston were indeed flares, but he has no explanation for the sightings that occurred between 8 and 9pm.

Unsolved Mystery of the Phoenix Lights

Quote
It was March 1997 and the time was between 7:30 PM and 10:30 PM when the skies above the cities of Phoenix, Tucson and Nevada were lit up by some lights in the sky. Thousands of people reported in claiming that they saw the lights which formed a triangle in the sky. The lights spread roughly over three hundred miles. As per the reports the lights that were triangular in shape seemed to be moving over the state where people in Phoenix witnessed stationery lights. The unsolved phenomena of the lights have since been known as the unsolved mystery of the Phoenix Lights.
As per the Government statements that came in later, the stationery lights of Phoenix were the result of flares that had been dropped from A-10 Warthog. It was also claimed that the triangular thing could be an airplane. However those people that saw the lights claimed that it could not be an airplane or flares as the cluster of lights seemed to be moving at a very slow speed. The National Center for UFO Reporting also confirmed the presence of a V-shaped cluster of lights moving towards the northeast.


As per a report published in July 1997, a National Guard pilot claimed that he was behind the dropping of the flares that March night. However witnesses are sure that what they saw were not flares as they were shaped differently. So the mystery still remains whether the moving lights were from a space ship that was flying above the Earth or something else. People are of the view that the lights that were seen that day were from an alien space ship but as the government did not think it wise to cause panic by accepting this, they came up with the stories of flares being dropped. Whatever is the truth, the mystery of Phoenix lights still remains unsolved
