NUFORC Sighting 25548

Occurred: 1997-01-01 19:30 Local
Reported: 2002-10-13 12:43 Pacific
Duration: 20 minutes
No of observers: 4

Location: Phoenix, AZ, USA

Shape: Chevron
Characteristics: Lights on object

Phoenix lights witnessed and documented two months prior to major sighting.

On the evening of January 1, 1997, we observed small bouncing lights in the Phoenix sky south of South mountain. The small lights roughly the size of a small magnitude star were bouncing around on the horizon. Shortly thereafter we observed 5 bright lights flying over us in a V-Shape. They were identical to that of the Phoenix lights which were videotaped in March of 1997. The V-Shape lights flew from the southeast to the northwest towards Las Vegas. There was absolutely no sound from the object. After the incident I telephoned Sky Harbor Airport who referred me to Luke Air Force Base who in turn referred me to Peter Davenport of the UFO reporting center in Washington state. We only gave my aunt's name to Mr. Davenport. I was quite shocked to learn of the March 1997 sightings again. I decided to again report this when I heard Mr. Davenport on KFI radio and called in to the radio station. They put me on the air but did not further question me. I was left hanging. This sighting, two months prior to the sighting of the Phoenix lights needs to be brought forward. My Aunt's name appeared on a television show as one of the people who witnessed the Phoenix lights. Her name is ((name deleted)).

My uncle who also witnessed the sighting is an engineer as is my cousin who was also a witness.



NUFORC Note:

This individual hear me discussing the Phoenix Lights sighting on a radio program (Lee Klein/KFI-AM, Los Angeles, 12OC02) and called in during the program. He follows with this report. PD
