Phoenix lights UFO: Misperception, test or acclimation?
Steve Hammons
What was flying over Arizona and Phoenix the evening of March 13, 1997? Was it a formation of several aircraft with odd bright lights? If so, there seem to be several unusual aspects to the flight. Was it one huge triangle, boomerang or V-shaped craft? If so, was it a U.S. advanced aircraft or spacecraft of some kind? Was it an extraterrestrial craft? Was it some combination of both? The so-called "Phoenix lights" case is widely recognized as one of the more interesting incidents involving unidentified flying objects.
