The first sighting could have been a secret government craft. There are many explanations to give it, even an extraterrestrial one. However, the latter requires a lot of proof and evidence. That is a profound claim, and if one wants to make a profound claim, they must back it up. As I have stated before, I want the truth just like the rest of you. It takes a lot for me to think the answer is aliens, and there are many better cases out there that do.
Gov Symington at first made fun of the sightings, and now changes his mind on a TV show and calls it unworldly. It may have looked unworldly, but why did he change his mind now? People state cover-up, but could there be more to it than that?

Those are good points to bring up. There still is my question about no video or photos taken of the rather large craft. I cannot state it is from another world as the evidence is only hearsay. To me, while this is an interesting case, there are many others that have much more evidence to back them up.
If it is a secret military craft, the military will never admit it, just like they would not admit it if it was an alien craft.
This case can only be relegated to the files as no new evidence has popped up about it.

I also find it strange that there are many videos and pictures of the later sighting, but none of the alleged boomerang that appeared earlier.
Occam's Razor: The military flares disappearing behind the mountains is the best explanation. More information is needed on the alleged earlier sightings.

All the videos show that the phenomena was likely to be flares disappearing behind the mountains. The objects that were video taped did not do any maneuvers that could attribute them to being some type of craft.

One point that people have not considered is that the phoenix sighting could have been merely a ginormous boomerang shaped lighter than air craft (blimp)
Technically, there is nothing, performance wise, that the alleged phoenix craft could do that a large boomerang shaped blimp couldn't also do.
I realize that is a wild hypothesis (as wild as the other's due to lack of evidence) although it does not require the existence of aliens or antigravity.

OK, so let's assume it was a blimp.
So the Military for some strange reason decide to fly this classified blimp over Phoenix, but then regret it and decide to drop flares in order to muddy the waters, deflect attention and confuse the people?
Did you forget that the F-16 reported the object leaving the states flying at mach 1.8? That is probably the best little nugget he gave us.
This was the flare footage.
