Starting on March 13th in Arizona, thousands of people reported formations of circular orange lights moving silently over the Valley of the Sun. The slow-moving UFO was seen from multiple cities on a path from Las Vegas to Phoenix, including Kingman and Prescott. Several dozen people shot videotapes – some of which focused on the lights for up to 106 continuous minutes. A few bits were shown soon after on “Strange Universe”.
The clips I saw were the best night-time videos I’d ever seen. They showed numerous lights all in a straight line, in an arrowhead formation, four across upfront with two more trailing behind out to the sides, and also banking in on a curve and appearing out of nowhere – first three lights, then a fourth, a fifth, with one out alone.
Some of the long-range shots showed seven together in a row, again with a lone eighth set far apart to the side. One of the shots showed three of the equally-spaced lights growing into fiery circles with perfectly defined edges – like that of the sun when looking at it through the thin cloud cover.
Some witnesses said that nearby Luke Air Force base scrambled at least two jets to go and take a look, though of course, they deny this, and they say nothing appeared on their radar screens.
So who, other than UFOlogists, is investigating this dramatic and highly visible event? Officially – no one, privately – who knows how many? But the people of Phoenix want some answers, and they’re not letting up. City Councilperson Francis Barwood finally called for some sort of investigation in early May, but she got the run-around and was publicly derided during her inquiry. The city told her “We take out the garbage, we don’t have the resources to check into strange lights – go to the Air Force.” And they said, “We stopped investigating UFOs in 1969, you’re going to have to do it at the local level.” Then-Governor Fyfe Symington called a press conference to announce that the reports would be looked into, and five hours later, he called an emergency follow-up to say that they knew who did it – then his chief of staff marched out in an alien suit. This stunt did not go over well with the citizens of Phoenix and was a very uncharacteristic move by the governor. Arizona senator John McCain has sent multiple letters to the Air Force, demanding some answers.
During late June, Barwood has received multiple reports that George Bush, Dan Quayle, Colin Powell, Norman Schwarzkopf, and KGB agents have been seen (separately) in town. Some people are predicting that different security and defense agencies, and other parts of the government will soon be setting up near Phoenix. Apparently, the city used to be considered the capital of the West, and has been set up with some curious legislations – similar to Washington, DC, like it is its own country! There are also reportedly extensive underground facilities all over the Southwest (Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado). They may be preparing to protect themselves from a perceived (or planned), war, or geologic disaster that looms for the millennium.
The problem that the government and the military have with this unexplained event, and why they’ve had almost no comment, is this: Either they have to admit that a craft has been secretly developed – that is over a mile long, flies silently and can hover, and is mostly invisible, OR, they have to admit that we are being visited by intelligently controlled, inter-planetary vehicles! Are you seeing why they’ve ignored the issue?
It wasn’t until June 18th, a week before the Air Force made their most recent Roswell Incident announcement, that the national media, all on the same day, picked up on the growing story, over three months after the original sightings, and also the same day that another large craft was reported near Las Vegas. Did someone say the magic word to allow the Media to begin the barrage of UFO/Roswell/Mars news? Was someone influential listening to Richard Hoagland on Art Bell the night before, when he proposed that something big is unfolding, and it somehow involves Phoenix?
Then in early August, another lame explanation is offered by the Air Force to try to quiet the roar over the oft-debated wave of sightings. We are told that the Air National Guard from Maryland was doing exercises and dropping flares – end of the story. Why does CNN not do ANY investigative research before reporting this obviously bogus story? Flares are not stationary or ascending. They do not last 106 minutes. They do not travel over 300 miles. They do not have defined edges. They do not stay in exact formations. It was already officially stated that nothing was on the Luke AFB radar screens at the time of the sighting. And, it doesn’t take five months to remember that an out-of-state training mission was progressing over the capital city right next to your base!
Was it actually, this time, a secret military machine as some are speculating? Sources from MUFON say that they were told ahead of time that something was to be tested around Phoenix that might be misconstrued as a UFO event. If so – What from hell would a silent and mostly invisible craft, possibly over a mile long be used for? Other than to frighten people out of their wits and to stage a mock invasion, which to some people would magnify the military’s importance – who could then influence those people to surrender many of their freedoms to support an all-out alien resistance.
That scenario really makes me want to believe that the craft(s) was/were flown by benevolent ETs! Perhaps this too was an orchestrated event to continue and move forward the preparation of Humankind for the imminent contact with intelligent extraterrestrial civilizations.
Has another UFO myth been borne – nearly fifty years after the crash that created the craze? Or was it a sign of things to come? I think we’ll have other massive sightings, over major cities, and soon!
