| These were individual craft flying in a distinct formation-- absolutely not flares. I'm writing regarding the well documented Phoenix Lights. I saw them from the base of Granite Mountain in Prescott, AZ., which is approximately 100 miles North of Phoenix. It was still light when I saw them traveling in a Southerly direction. The most important point I want to make is that they were absolutely not flares, as some would later claim. I come from a family of pilots and have my flight ratings as well. These craft seemed to be moving faster than most planes I have observed. They were traveling in a very symetrical formation-- like an elongated triangle, with probably three lights on either side of a single light at the point. They simply looked like round white lights to me. They seemed more luminescent than typical jets; made no sound; left no contrails; contained no other plane-like lights; and again, seemed to be traveling very fast. I have wondered if they might be some new secret military craft, but couldn't understand why they would fly over a highly populated area like Phoenix-- wouldn't make sense. This would also have placed them on Sky Harbor's (Phoenix's international airport's) radar as well. Anyway, I don't know what they were, but they sure as hell weren't flares. I will always consider them as having been individual craft unlike anything I had previously seen. I wish so much I would have had a video camera. I know others reported seeing these lights at least as far North as I did. I just hope that my report will lend support to the idea that they were not flares. That was one of the most obsured conclusions I have heard. Hope this can be of some help to you. |
