======Phoenix Lights====== The //Phoenix Lights// is commonly known as a mass UFO sighting that occurred in Arizona, Nevada in the United States and Sonoro in Mexico on Thursday, March 13, 1997. Lights were seen by thousands of people between 19:30 and 22:30 MST, in a space of about 300 miles (480 km), from the Nevada line, through Phoenix, to the edge of Tucson. There were allegedly two distinct events involved in the incident: a triangular formation of lights seen to pass over the state, and a series of stationary lights seen in the Phoenix area. The United States Air Force identified the second group of lights as flares dropped by A-10 Warthog aircraft that were on training exercises at the Barry Goldwater Range in southwest Arizona. Witnesses claim to have observed a huge carpenter's square-shaped UFO, containing five spherical lights or possibly light-emitting engines. Fife Symington, the governor at the time, was one witness to this incident; he later called the object "otherworldly." Lights have also been reported since 1997 in the Phoenix area. =====Images of the Phoenix Lights===== {{image url="/Phoenix_Lights/files.xml?action=download&file=phoenix-lights-1.jpg" title="Phoenix Lights" alt="Phoenix Lights"}} =====Related Resources===== - [[http://www.thephoenixlights.net/ Phoenix Lights Network]] - Website dedicated to researching the //Phoenix Lights// sightings. ---- [[Exobiology]] {{files}}
