Alert: The Lights and Military Jets Are Back Over Phoenix Bill
Knell Less
than a week after strange lights appeared in the skies over Northern Indiana and
off the Jersey Coast, lights have returned to the skies over Phoenix. The lights
were seen on Monday might (April 21, 2008) and are similar to the infamous display
of bright objects in the night sky seen in March of 1997 over Phoenix, Arizona.
Originally dubbed ‘The Phoenix Lights’ after they first appeared ten
years ago, the lights have made several appearances since that time. According
to witnesses (which included a Reporter for the Arizona Republic newspaper), the
Monday night light display seen over Deer Valley and other locations featured
red lights. The bright objects morphed into various shapes and sizes, eventually
forming a triangular and square shape. At least three U.S. Military jets chased
the lights as they moved west to east in the sky. Officials from Deer Valley Airport
officials said that none of their aircraft were responsible for the lights. Comparable
events took place over the skies of Stephenville and Dublin, Texas, back in January
and have become known as ‘The Stephenville Lights’. According to multiple
witnesses, U.S. Military jets chased at least one large object during that occurrence.
The jets may have continued to show up in Erath County, Texas, along with military
helicopters, to investigate the reappearance of lights and other types of UFOs
during the day and night since that time. Military aircraft have also buzzed the
home of one or more UFO witnesses living in that area. Lights
similar to those seen over Phoenix also appeared on Tuesday and Wednesday (April
14-15, 2008) over the towns of Kokomo and Logansport in Northern Indiana. Those
lights were accompanied by loud sounds, an odd metallic odor in the air, the appearance
of military aircraft and debris falling from the sky. Earlier in the evening on
Wednesday night (April 15, 2008), a fishing boat captain reported seeing a huge
object split into smaller lights off the coast of Atlantic City, New Jersey and
said that he felt a brief tremor after that event. In
the case of the original Phoenix Lights, the Stephenville Lights, the lights in
Northern Indiana and those seen off the Jersey Coast, the U.S. Armed Forces claimed
that they were just military exercises mistakenly reported as UFO sightings. However,
a spokesperson for Luke Air Force Base said that they had no aircraft in the sky
and that the lights seen over Phoenix on Monday night were not a part of any Air
Force activities. While
it’s doubtful that any known military or civilian aircraft were responsible
for the appearance of the latest lights over Phoenix and Luke AFB has admitted
as much, witnesses say that military jets were present during the event and chased
the lights across the night sky. That is in direct conflict with the Luke AFB
spokesperson’s claim that none of their jets were in the sky on Monday night.
However, it’s a nice change to find the military not immediately trying to
explain any and all UFO sightings away as training or other military aircraft
events. When the
military does try and explain the lights away as jets involved in training exercises,
it’s obvious that all the recent sightings of these objects cannot be dismissed
merely as military aircraft sightings by untrained observers. This is especially
true in busy air corridors like Northern Indiana and the skies over the coast
of New Jersey. These are areas were many commercial and private aircraft are constantly
in the air heading to various major airports in those regions. It would have been
beyond irresponsible for the military to fail to announce such exercises in advance. Beyond
the safety factor, it would also be ridiculous for military authorities to fail
to announce any plans for exercises occurring late at night given the possibility
that such events might cause a certain level of public panic and end up being
reported as UFOs. Despite these facts, they keep on sending up jets to chase these
objects, claim there are no objects other than military aircraft in the sky and
always seem to fall back on the same old explanation; one which is becoming increasingly,
obviously and laughingly unrealistic. |
