In this episode, Austin and Fernando discuss the mysterious Phoenix Lights incident.
On March 13th, 1997, the night sky over Phoenix, Arizona looked pretty much the same as any other night. It was dark, it had a bit of an overcast, and the temperature was a nice balmy 72 degrees Fahrenheit. However, even though all seemed normal, hundreds of people were scanning the darkness of the night with tentative anticipation. Then, around 10pm, the reports began to flood in.
9 distinct bright lights were spotted floating high above the clouds and appeared to be in a V-shaped formation. The object made no noise, didn’t illuminate the ground, and was moving very slowly in a southerly direction over Phoenix. Most disconcerting of all, it appeared that these lights were a part of the same object, an object that was estimated by many to be over a mile long.
Then, almost as quickly as it had appeared over the city’s skyline, the mysterious object vanished into the night without a trace.
Over the coming days, inquiries poured into various law enforcement agencies regarding the eerie anomaly. At first, authorities were very quick to dispel the now rapidly growing rumors that it was in fact an “alien spacecraft” that had flown over the city that night. Instead, they proposed that everyone was just overreacting and that what they saw was a military exercise involving flares.
Unfortunately, there was one tiny problem with this claim… there were 700 witnesses who disagreed with it…
