UFO
Sightings in Arizona Can Be Traced Back to "Close Encounters" Footage Arizonans
are buzzing today about a series of floaty lights that hovered over Phoenix last
night for about 15 minutes. One guy captured them on film (you can see it here),
and the news covered it to death, wondering how people could have seen a bunch
of lights that the Federal Aviation Administration and local air traffic controllers
couldn't explain. Apparently they are similar to lights that were seen over Phoenix
in 1997 too. The really weird thing? The lights also look exactly like a scene
from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. See below to compare. At
the end of this scene — which is totally worth watching in its entirety to
see the full, beautiful goofiness of UFO representations — you can see the
three lights in the sky separating and zooming into the clouds. Looks amazingly
similar to the video of the Phoenix lights above. I
have never understood why people assume that UFOs will be covered in lights when
they visit Earth, unless it's because Steven Spielberg's vision in Close Encounters
basically convinced them that it makes the most sense for aliens to arrive covered
in visible light spectrum. I sure hope the next Phoenix encounter includes some
music too! Bee bee bee boop boop!
