Multiple Awrd winning film about the 1997 Pheonix Lights UFO Event where nerly 10,000 people saw a mile wide craft fly over the city.It was seen by police officers,military,airline pilots,etc.This is one of the best & most sensible documentaries ive seen that talks about the phenomena and makes the debunkers explanations sound ridiculous. Definately worth watching.

Cool subject to research further.
The mayor at the time of the incident pied off witnesses with his little publicity stunt of an alien costume being led onto the stage, he has admited now well after the event that he was wrong to do so, no shit Sherlock and to think he observed the phenomenom in Phoenix also.

thanks ards I think what he done was childish,when you consider that this should be of great defense significance to the military,regarding an unknown object of immense size parking over phoenix for 10,000 people to witness

Yeah, he has since come clean and publicly admitted he saw the phenomena himself and even joined in the research. Volunteered many interviews including one in the documentary 'I know what I saw' Former Arizona Governor, Fife Symington Symington, a pilot and former Air Force officer, has become a national figure in the debate over UFOs ever since revealing in 2007 that he had seen a massive, delta-shaped craft 10 years earlier - the so-called Phoenix Lights. Symington is among a group of notable figures who provide first-person accounts of UFO sightings in the new book, "UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record." Symington wrote the chapter titled, "Setting the Record Straight." Symington, working with Leslie Kean, author of the book, also appears in the documentary "I Know What I Saw" and moderated an international panel discussion three years ago in Washington, D.C., to focus attention on the need for a U.S. agency to investigate UFOs. It's a long way from 1997, when, as a spoof, then-Gov. Symington told a news conference that the mysterious Phoenix Lights had been solved, and brought out his chief of staff, Jay Heiler, dressed in an alien costume. Symington talked with Viewpoints about his latest campaign. Question: To what extent are you involved in trying to create a government agency to investigate UFOs? Answer: We've had lengthy discussions about trying to get the administration or Congress to move down the road parallel with what France, Britain and even Belgium have done and have an official group that investigates these sightings in an unbiased way - to provide as quick as possible of an explanation, if there is one, or admit there isn't an explanation. Q: How receptive have officials been to this idea? A: Some are and some aren't. There is still a high degree of ridicule out there in the media, political groups and elected officials about this subject. Q: Could you describe your own experience in seeing a UFO in 1997? A: Whatever it was, it was huge and lumbered quietly across the Valley. It had embedded lights and was really fascinating. Apparently, it traversed from the northwestern part of the state and came right across the Valley and headed southeast. Thousands of people saw it. I made the comment at the time that maybe Boeing or some other operation had something going in the Skunk Works. The only problem with that was it was bigger than anything I had ever seen. And if we were developing some sort of secret aircraft, why would we be flying it over metropolitan Phoenix? I went (looking for it) when all the hoopla was on the radio. I drove down to (Squaw Peak, now Piestewa Peak) off Lincoln. There were a bunch of people out there; everybody saw it. I drove home and Ann (his wife) looked at me and said, "You look like you've seen a ghost." And I said, "Well, I'm not sure what I saw, but it wasn't a ghost."

Yeah brill...he took a lot of well deserved heat for the publicity stunt but I think this exonerates him. I really don't think much more would have come of it if he not done what he did or even if he had confirmed the initial reports. Takes a lot for me to say that...He's a Republican and you knows hows I hate dem friekin Republicans. ;D

Truth is the only thing that could not hold this case down,as too many people saw it. Trying to make 10.000 people look like liers was never going to work!
