Ha wow. Sometimes it amazes me how much effort people put into creating such a viable hoax.

The amazing thing is not that people put so much effort into the hoaxes. The amazing thing is how much effort other people put into rationalizing to themselves and others that it's real -- or could be real -- and should be taken seriously. These people want it to be real so badly that they'll flip over backwards to make excuses for all of the things that are so obviously wrong with it. They'll howl about how nothing would ever be enough for the "debunkers," as if that somehow add legitimacy to the hoax in question.

My thoughts exactly Shades!!
The Aliens & UFOs forum won't accomplish much of anything useful until the emphasis is shifted from debunking photos/footage to locating credible witnesses, whistleblowers and contactees.

I thought the pheonix lights were , well not "proven" to be military flares, but generally accepted to be?
Basically after the military and their media got involved, it sure did make alot of people generally accept the flare story.
Symington now claims to have been witness to mysterious lights in the Phoenix sky some 10 years ago. He described seeing a "breathtakingly-large" v-shaped object with extremely bright lights on the leading edge. He said the craft was "very dark [and] absolutely quiet" as it moved across the desert sky. Symington believes there is no "terrestrial explanation" for what he saw that night.
