Phoenix lights UFO anniversary brings fresh insightsby Steve Hammons 
Posted: 02:30 March 13, 2009
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?
As the anniversary of the Phoenix lights incident approaches, this may be a good time to 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.
