Hello everyone,

I'm fascinated by the Phoenix Lights incident that occurred on March 13, 1997, and the numerous eyewitness accounts. If you were one of the witnesses or if you have information related to the event, I'd love to hear your experiences.

What did you see in the sky that night?Can you describe the lights or the formation you observed?
How did you feel when you witnessed this event?
Did you notice any unusual characteristics of the lights or their behavior?
Your accounts can provide valuable insights into this mysterious incident.

A squadron of military planes is a bit hard to come by as a private person.

But I wonder if people would also be that fascinated after 25+ years if I flew some DJI drones at 1-2km height in the night with bright LEDs on their bottom and dropped some pyrotechnics from them.

This has been confirmed independently multiple times as two groups of A-10 military aircraft dropping flares with parachutes for training purposes.

And still you see videos titled "Still no answers 26 years after the lights appeared over the valley". Well, no answer that these guys want to hear.

And what it looked like is quite easy to check, since there are tons of photographs of that incident.
