take another look at this particular case and see if it provides any insight about the whole situation regarding UFOs and
possible visitation to Earth by extraterrestrial and/or extra-dimensional intelligent beings.
AN ARIZONA EVENING
In the early evening hours of March 13, 1997, people from Henderson, Nevada, (near Las Vegas) reportedly spotted
something unusual in the sky moving toward the Arizona state line. Then, Arizonans living in the northwest region of the
state also allegedly sighted a very large V-shaped or boomerang-shaped object and/or large lights consistent with that
shape.
The object/lights continued heading in generally a southeasterly direction over the central Arizona mountain region and
eventually into "the Valley of the Sun" of the metro Phoenix area on the northern edge of the Sonoran Desert.
As the object/lights entered the Phoenix area, they might even have been visible to the naked eye from Luke Air Force
Base on the far west side of the Valley of the Sun.
By this time it was about 8 p.m. as the object/lights reportedly cruised slowly and silently at a relatively low altitude over
the northwestern suburban cities and neighborhoods toward the central downtown Phoenix area and Sky Harbor
International Airport.
Some Phoenix-area residents stated they saw just the formation of large bright lights. Others said they could see a
huge V-shaped or boomerang-shaped object that blocked out the stars.
The object/lights continued on a southeast path, moving diagonally across metro Phoenix and on into the desert
countryside on the southeast side of town, heading in the general direction of Tucson, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base
and the town of Sierra Vista, home of the Army's Fort Huachcua, a major defense intelligence center near the Mexican
border.
WHAT WAS THAT?
In Phoenix, there were unconfirmed reports that phone calls flooded into local police departments, TV and radio stations
and even Luke AFB. Citizens wanted to know what they may have seen.
At approximately 10 p.m., another series of lights were seen to the southwest of Phoenix, over one of the mountain
ranges that surround the Valley of the Sun.
The lights were southwest of Luke AFB and in the general direction of the Barry M. Goldwater Range, a large training
area operated from Luke AFB for aerial gunnery, electronic warfare, tactical maneuvering and air support, equipment and
tactics development and other defense activities.
The lights appeared to be military flares.
Some additional reports from the public and researchers alleged that additional lights may have been seen that appeared
to be neither the large V-shaped object at approximately 8 p.m. nor the apparent military flares to the southwest at
approximately 10 p.m.
What was going on that night?
Because of the apparently large number of witnesses who state they saw a large, solid object, many people seem to
conclude that a craft of some kind did fly slowly over the Phoenix area.
Former Arizona governor Fife Symington, who was governor at the time, has come forward on the record and said he
saw a very large object that did not appear to be any kind of U.S. aircraft that he was familiar with. Symington is a
former Air Force officer and pilot.
As for the apparent military flares that the Air Force later said were from training exercises of a visiting Air National
Guard group, it seems to be the case that flares actually were dropped in the area of the Goldwater Range, but possibly
further north and nearer metro Phoenix than may be standard operating procedure.
Were the flares a coincidence in timing and location or were they some kind of deception activity to provide
disinformation and a cover-up of the alleged boomerang-shaped object? This remains unclear to many researchers and
interested people.
If there was a huge object cruising slowly and silently – but very visibly – over Phoenix that evening, what could it have
been?
OURS OR THEIRS?
A few answers seem to be possible. It was an advanced U.S. craft of some kind or it was something else. The
"something else" could have been a craft from a a foreign country, a private company or group, or from a more exotic
and mysterious location – extraterrestrial and/or extra-dimensional.
On the topic of the first option, people have naturally asked that if the U.S. had a huge, secret craft, why would they fly
it over Phoenix on a clear and pleasant Arizona early evening?
Since it was first sighted near Henderson, Nevada, and there actually are secret U.S. testing areas in that region for
advanced aircraft, this scenario might be worthy of more consideration.
Why would such a U.S. craft (if it was that) be made intentionally visible to a huge American metropolitan region? One of
the answers that may come to mind is that it was a test of some kind to see how people would respond to such an
incident. Would there be widespread panic? How would the media and local public safety officials handle it?
The same could be said if the object was an extraterrestrial and/or extra-dimensional visiting craft. How would the
humans handle it? Would they scramble F-16 fighter jets from their air defense bases?
Or, could it have been some kind of joint U.S.-extraterrestrial activity? Could the craft have been non-human-made but
flying over Phoenix with permission of some elements of the U.S. Government? Could U.S. personnel have been onboard
a non-human-made craft in such a joint activity?
Think this is far-fetched? Maybe not.
There have long been rumors that specially selected and trained U.S. military personnel have flown with extra-terrestrial
visitors. Our relationships, liaison and rapport with such visitors might be more longstanding and further along than
many people realize.
The Phoenix lights incident remains a mystery in many ways. As March 13 rolls around again in 2009, we might look into
the skies, and into ourselves, and ponder the possibilities.
Are we ready for continuing acclimation and disclosure about this potentially larger sensitive and complex situation? We
probably will be finding out.

PHOENIX LIGHTS UFO ANNIVERSARY BRINGS NEW INSIGHTS by Steve Hammons
The "Phoenix lights" UFO incident on March 13, 1997, has sparked the same kind of
questions and discussion as the 1947 "Roswell incident" and many other similar cases over
the years in the U.S. and internationally.
Here in America, we can also look at the many 2008 sightings in the Stephenville, Texas,
area or the Nov. 7,2006, O'Hare International Airport case as recent examples.
Most people agree that "something" happened in these locations and on these dates. But
what?Was the Roswell incident a top-secret U.S. balloon-type device?Was the Phoenix lights
case a series of military flares dropped in a nearby military aviation test range? Were the
apparently reliable witnesses in the Stephenville region and at Chicago's O'Hare airport
totally mistaken about what they saw?
