My Phoenix Lights UFO Experience

Phoenix Lights UFO
Reader Submitted Report
3-15-09

     I was standing outside of an apartment complex with a friend of mine waiting for his roommate to come home. The apartment complex was located near 48th St. and Baseline Rd. in a suburb of Phoenix called Ahwatukee and it was between the time of 9:30-10:30 pm.

We were standing outside just chit-chatting, when we started noticing what looked like something very large in the northern sky heading towards us still off in the distance. We didn't see a craft at first, only a formation of lights. We kept talking but at the same time keeping a close eye on this object that was heading nearer to us. I was only 19 years old at the time so I had very limited knowledge of UFO's or secret military planes for that matter, and it really didn't occur to me right away that this is what it could be.

As we talked and watched it get nearer, we could start to see just how massive this craft really was. We stopped all talking about other subjects, and our entire focus became locked in to this approaching object. The craft was moving completely silently, and due to it's size we remarked how weird it was we couldn't hear anything even though it was still some distance away. As it came even closer, we could start seeing how the sky was darkened out between these lights as well. It was definitely a solid object and not some other type of flying formation.

As it approached very near to us, all conversation between my friend and I stopped all together. We just stared straight up in the sky and watched as this gigantic, silent craft flew effortlessly right over our heads in a north to south direction. There were five lights around the edges of the craft that made up a triangular formation...Two on each side plus one in the center. They were all a glowing and radiating a white & amber color and did not appear like normal lights at all. The craft was so big that if I could've stretched out my arms above my head I still couldn't have covered the area it took up in the sky...It was that big!!! We just both watched completely awestruck as the craft flew over our head and disappeared over the horizon to the south.

WHen it was over, neither of us could believe what we just saw. We both had no doubt at that time that we had just witnessed a real UFO!!! Upon later reflection, I also found it ironic that neither of us were the least bit scared as we watched this craft fly directly over our heads. And through researching this event for many years now, I've found that this was not an isolated feeling. Almost every other witness I've talked too (I've talked with many) has reported that they felt a sense of calm/peace when the craft flew over head...As if it were done on purpose to let us know not to be afraid. I can assure you that I would FULLY expect myself to be in a full blown panic at any other time if I witnessed a UFO of this magnitude directly above me, but neither myself nor anybody I know reported feeling that way whatsoever.

I think it's the more lesser known phenomena regarding this event such as this that are the most significant. I have no doubt in my mind that this craft was extraterrestrial in origin, based off my inability to conceive that ANY government has access to this kind of technology to make a craft both so massive and completely silent. Since seeing this first UFO, I have now seen AT LEAST EIGHT other sightings right here in AZ. The last sighting my wife and I witnessed was on this last Friday March 12 at around 8pm at night. Most of the crafts we have witnessed have been right in my own backyard where we often frequent now trying to catch them on video. I finally caught my first sighting from this past new years eve on video and upped it to YouTube. But it was nowhere near as impressive as how it appeared to the naked eye...Cameras just cant do these objects justice!

Phoenix Lights: Witness Affirms "Two Events" Occurred That Night--One Wasn't Flares!

Flight Path of V-Shaped UFO Over Ahtwatukee 3-13-1997

Note-As we approach the 11th anniversary of the so-called "Phoenix Lights" of March 13, 1997, and in lieu of recent "similar events" in Stephenville, Texas, the following is a continuation of a series of interviews/articles with and by direct eye witnesses of this monumental event.

Although many who witnessed this huge "V-shaped craft" have come forward, there are a great deal more who haven't; research concerning this case is ongoing to this day, and it is our hope by highlighting the event(s) and the individuals who witnessed it, more people will come forward and share their experiences. Comments are always welcome, and if requested confidentiality will be honored-FW


WHAT I OBSERVED--EVENT #1

By R. Hawkins

     The map, shows the area where my husband and I witnessed the Lights in a Perfect "V" shaped formation, travel the night sky on March 13th, 1997.

This particular night, we left the house at almost exactly at 8:30 PM. I'm certain of the time, because we had just finished watching the Jerry Seinfeld comedy which began at 8:00, and we left immediately thereafter for my daughter's home, several blocks away. We drove Northwest on 43rd Place towards South Mountain Park, which was very near to our home. About one block from home my husband noticed an unusual formation of lights, just coming into view from above South Mountain directly in front of us.

He pulled over to the curb, and got out to observe, as did I. What we saw was a huge "V" shaped formation of lights almost above us, moving silently and slowly towards the east.

We observed the lights, moving past us very slowly, they then appeared to bank over, as would an airplane, and headed in the direction of Tucson (see Map), parallel to I-10. Our neighbors, who were out in their opened garage, ran out to observe the very same thing we are describing here. To the West in the night sky, quite visible that night, was the "Hale-Bopp Comet".

The "V" shaped object was not only silent, appearing huge, but as we could not see the stars as it passed in front of them, it leads us to believe that it was a solid object.

THERE WERE TWO SEPARATE EVENTS

THE EVENING OF 3-13-97


THE CONTROVERSY-EVENT #2


     Later on that same evening, around 10:00 PM, there were massive reports of lights in the sky, over Phoenix. This is the event which is most often incorrectly referred to by news organizations and in numerous UFO documentaries, as a UFO sighting.

The 10:00 event is a completely separate from and has nothing to do with my 8:30 observation of a UFO over Ahwatukee, Arizona and South Mountain, as well as the observation of others across the state of Arizona.

The lights associated with the event I described above, were sighted by witnesses over a number of hours, all the way from Northern Arizona and as far south as Tucson before finally disappearing. It's trajectory was tracked and a timeline was constructed based upon the observations of these witnesses. This event took place before the much publicized and well photographed subsequent event, (known as the Phoenix Lights) at approximately 10:00 PM. It has since been proven, in my opinion, by the Discovery Channel to have been flares dropped by the Maryland National Guard over the Estrella Mountains, from Luke Air Force Base.

We feel it is a very important distinction that has been overlooked by most all historians, even the History Channel and Discovery Channel seem to have forgotten there were two separate events which took place that evening. One as we described above, and another at approximately 10:00 PM. Over time they have been merged somehow into one event known simply as The Phoenix Lights. It has served to confuse and misrepresent what actually occurred on that night, and this may possibly have been the militaries intended result. I think it is worthwhile to point out that there have been no reports or photographs of flares dropped by anyone before or after the night of March 13, 1997.

Until these two events are separated and examined individually as they should be, the UFO skeptics and debunkers can dismiss this as one easily explainable sighting.
