Still amazes me how they tried to sweep this under a rug.. Thousands of people see it, video it and they still tried to discredit it.. I'm glad that people got footage..

[lunarlight]

if it was really aliens they made the right choice not to land.

Fun fact first one to see this and report it was Kurt Russell. He was flying his plane to the Phoenix area to drop off his son. The recording still exists!

It was a squadron of geese with spotlights attached to them. I was responsible for this event. I trained these geese for years to put on a light show.

Seen them myself from 339th ave looking back towards South mountain. I've never seen anything so massive in size since. Crazy how we never got any real answers and politicians down played it after thousands of is seen it.

She was so happy telling her STORY to just be cut off like that WOW 😳

the interesting thing about the UFO phenomenon, is that after the usage of atomic bomb weaponry in WWII, UFO sightings spiked.
which means, the aliens either are here in significant numbers (which is what the 'experts' all think), or they can travel faster than the speed of light - which is what i conclude.
my being the superior 'expert', i will conclude, they managed to travel here quickly, and so far it's been mostly denial and obfuscation by the USAF, since. that's how trustworthy government is.

In 1990, when I was still living in Roselle, New Jersey, I saw several black, triangle-shaped aircrafts in the nighttime sky.-They were exactly like one type that people witnessed in Phoenix.-It had a light in each of it's pointed corners, and was moving slowly.-It didn't make any kind of noise at all and was eerily silent, too.-It looked like an extraterrestrial spacecraft. 🛸 👽

I as a young boy witnessed one in Illinois while sleeping outside one night, it was very close to the ground, and I could see the silhouette of the black triangular object with lights, moving very slowly it was very large. I told my father, him being an Airforce pilot. He dismissed it as a dream. The object was identical to many in photos.

this was absolutely a cover up... even the mayor/ senator admitted it afterwards.

In the mid 90s there was two major sightings. One of them got famous, the Arizona sighting. The other was never mentioned or talked about. Orange County Santa Ana I was 8 years old playing tag with about 20 kids, you know the days kids didn’t have the technology we have now, we all played outside. Anywho we were about to start the game and some kid says (what’s that) we all look up ⬆️ and man this thing what’s like 40 stories high very very low and it was huge it almost cover a good portion of the sky. It was a huge saucer that can be seen very clear. I always said if there was a picture or video of this it would b the most famous number 1 video in the world of a ufo. I remember when it was passing over us it made a whoosh woosh sound and u can feel a electrical feeling through your body. All the kids started crying and we all at the same time ran as fast as we can running and crying home. The best part of this is something nobody ever believes me and this happened a few years before the movie men in black. I swear to god this happened but the next morning we kids were all outside talking about what we saw and this guy dressed in a black suit walks up to us and asked if we saw anything strange last night.he spent time writing everything down we said and when he wrote it all and was done he looks at us and told us not to worry because what we saw was a weather balloon then he left. BULLSHIt WE ALL KNOW WHAT WE SAW. By the way we lived 3 miles away from the Angels stadium and we were used to seeing the good year blimp flying around us all the time. The government lies to us and it was no f*ckn weather balloon.

Some people don't seem to realize that the Universe is big. Why would we only be the only terrestrial beings in one big universe that holds millions of galaxies? I will tell you, believe what you want, but me? I believe there is other life put there we don't know fully about. Space is a wonder, a really big open wonder that holds amazing things.

[JoeyCutlessTV]

I dont live in Arizona but am now a loyal viewer of FOX 10 now... She is one of the best journalists I've seen.

[jimstokes]

I wonder if those people in the flying object wanted to take advantage of the people wanting to view the comet for maximum siting.

[repdale]

Maybe the Heaven’s Gate cult really did hop aboard a spaceship when the Hale Bopp comet came

In 2002 Myself and a traffic jam made of people in their vehicles, just about bumper to bumper, 2 lanes, facing the extraordinarily huge, steel gray, aircraft high above the highway, but low enough to see its underside had lights. It was early evening, still light outside. As I looked at all the cars in front of me, in front and in the far right lane, a man actually opened his driver door, holding onto it he stepped out with one foot and stood half in the car still looking right up at it. Then got back in his car quickly. I looked back up, it was there, no sound at all, just there, silent no movement, then it was gone! Engines started up, I started mine, everyone just started driving forward. Nuts enough that I thought only days after, why didn't anyone person stopped there in their car, even try and discuss what we were all looking at? Me included? Fear I suppose.

Unfortunately, I was inside my apt. The next day, I learned about it.

This video proves the existence of God.
Not because of the lights but because of the thick ass body on that news reporter's beautiful little head! 😍

[kimberlyanne]

I live in Arizona and I see strange objects with odd lights in the dark skies.
When I call authorities they say that’s just the Air Force practicing.
It’s 11:30 pm, 1:23 am and 3:20 and no one in the Air Force does flyovers in my area, never have, never will.

I was 17 when it went directly over my head in cochise county. The weird part is that i forgot about it until maybe 10 years later.
