01:29hundreds of arizona residents were arriving home from work or unwinding before bed
01:34it was simply just another day nothing out of the ordinary taking place
01:39then an influx of police reports regarding bright orbs occupying the night sky over phoenix
01:45would begin to occur seven large balls of light spanning several miles made a v-shape formation
01:52that locals would observe hovering silently above them some witnesses were too taken back by the
01:58experience to do anything but just watch all we could see was the left wing of the craft itself
02:03that's how low it was we didn't go fetch a camera we didn't do anything but sit there and watch
02:08it
02:08you actually tell yourself not to blink because you might miss something i mean that's how intense it was
02:13but others managed to capture the strange phenomenon on film with their high-end camcorders
02:18oh look one two there's another one wait where there's another one too

02:49as a large amount of worried residents watched on in disbelief during the strange sighting
02:55word of mouth would quickly spread between families and friends in the area
03:00while this footage is the most watched pertaining to the mysterious event
03:04many are still unaware that there were actually two major sightings in phoenix that night
03:10the earliest reports of a v-shaped object in the sky was seen traveling very slow at approximately 7 55
03:17pm as word continued to spread throughout the town more residents were on the lookout for the flying
03:23object some even deciding to break out their telescopes to get a glimpse there were five huge
03:30lights in the very front of it and it was in a boomerang shape i'm only a mile and a
03:35half from that
03:36mountain the top of that mountain that vehicle spent five to six minutes hovering from that mountain to
03:41my house i don't know anything that can go that slow it was absolutely silent just completely gliding
03:48just like part of the sky just a big big big platform just flying with lights in front of me
03:55i could see it was covering stars so i knew it was something something solid many would see glowing amber
04:00orbs floating idle at around 9 15 pm and then abruptly disappearing shortly after following the very
04:08odd occurrence the arizona locals would have a lot of questions they wanted answered by their state
04:14officials most common inquiry was this some sort of alien visitation or just a secret government black
04:21project being tested the governor of the state fife symington initially seemed equally perplexed about
04:27the situation as the civilians but he would quickly change his tune shortly after in a press conference
04:33that aired on the local news days later he didn't seem to take the matter so seriously after all a
04:41few
04:41months later an official report was released by the united states air force the explanation for the
04:47earlier sightings were planes flying in formation at high altitude which inadvertently created the
04:54illusion of one singular object and as for the hovering orbs recorded later in the evening which
05:00thousands of people observed for several minutes they were just flares being dropped in a standard air
05:06force training exercise most witnesses that watched the events unfold refused to accept the official
05:12explanations given most stating they indeed saw a solid object not jet formations or flares
05:20ufo believers ufo believers over the years managed to find uncanny similarities between the phoenix lights
05:25incident and the hudson valley ufo sightings which were filmed throughout the late 80s but what are
05:32your thoughts on this weird story do you think the lights over phoenix was nothing more than flares
