This is a very rare case where there are a few YouTube videos that can actually help sort the wheat from the chaff.
The Phoenix lights incident is “the” most misunderstood UFO event in recent history, the reasons for this are manifold. Before going any further
let me lay out the basic facts regarding the sighting(s). At around 8:20pm on March 13th, 1997 the residents of Paulden Arizona, (Sixty miles north of
Phoenix.), saw something strange in the night sky; these first reports were received from witnesses who saw a huge flying triangle or “V”, shaped
craft.

One of the eye witnesses was none other than the Governor of the state, Fife Symington. His testimony is nothing less than spectacular, check out what
he is saying by looking at some of the video links provided.

This strange craft followed a 200 mile track from Tucson to Phoenix, moving north to south across Arizona. Later on THE SAME NIGHT, at around 10:00pm
in Phoenix, a line of lights forming an arch shape were observed by the locals, many of them recorded the lights with their video cameras. No
witnesses to this case reported the lights blocking the stars or moving as a craft would, the videos all show the lights to be slowly drifting down.
The entire incident lasted five to ten minutes and appeared in the southwest. There is good testimony from the individuals involved.

This video is the most convincing, it shows where the flares were in relation to the city of Phoenix and the mountains, and it also shows that the
only motion observed was down, as flares would descend.
Lt. Col. Ed Jones piloted one of the four A-10s in the squadron.

The arch shape that the lights formed was caused by the way they were dropped from the A-10s, the first ones dropped had more time to drift down on
their parachutes, this evidence tends to confirm the flares theory, even without the pilots reports.
The two separate events happened on the same night causing endless confusion. The news and UFO documentaries ALWAYS show the flares over Phoenix and
NEVER differentiate them from the earlier more spectacular sightings seen earlier north of Phoenix, they do this because there are many videos
depicting the incident and they are clear and bright, the rare footage of the giant “V” craft is very grainy and dim, it is not good for
broadcasting on television. The fact that the Phoenix Lights were largely proven to be flares is rarely reported. Almost 100% of the UFO buffs believe
that the Phoenix sighting was the same as the giant floating “V” craft. Listening to the Coast to Coast radio show confirms this, callers and
“Experts”, like Linda M. Howe have been heard saying that the Phoenix Lights were not flares, even thought the facts do not support this.
If you take the time to research this incident one thing becomes clear, a strange and awesome craft floated above thousands of witnesses, some of
which were aviation professionals and military personnel, those who know aircraft, including B2 bombers and other aircraft have said there was no
possibility that they had misidentified the craft seen that night with a similarly shaped craft. This sighting was right out of something like a
Hollywood production of “Independence Day.”, or something similar, a witness that called in to Coast to Coast said she saw this object above her
as she drove under it at fifty miles per hour, even at that speed, it took five minutes to come out on the other side of it.
