Phoenix Sky Display (March 13, 1997)
The Phoenix Lights incident stands as one of the most widely witnessed UFO events in American history. Thousands of Arizona residents reported seeing a massive V-shaped formation of lights moving silently across the evening sky. Witnesses included police officers, pilots, and military personnel who described a solid dark craft behind the lights. The governor initially mocked the sightings but years later admitted he had seen the lights himself. Multiple news stations captured footage of the event, and the incident generated hundreds of consistent witness statements. The military’s explanation of flares dropped during training exercises failed to account for the earlier V-shaped formation.
