What’s really ridiculous is that the video is from the intersection of the Piestawa Fwy (AZ-51) and Thunderbird Rd going southbound.

That’s THE major N-S freeway in PHX-Deer Valley-Paradise Valley. Tens of thousands of people would have seen this and be able to track it.

It’s also in the PHX Class B airspace almost right on top of the 360 radial of the PHX VORTAC like 10nm from the field. That area is SATURUATED with radar and with incoming / outgoing traffic being routed over the airport and inbound for a pattern entry. The whole damn aviation world would have seen it visually and on radar.

Oh I know. It’s clever Alien Stealth Coating, but they leave the lights on the bottom to screw with the locals! Kind of a little alien humor I suppose...

Whatta buncha BS

Damn
I worked Deer Valley Airport early ‘90s.

Even on top of all that, the Air Force has a massive amount of night operations out of Luke AFB - about twenty miles to the West. There could easily be aircraft unfamiliar to ground observers operating in that area - though hopefully well out of the way of the PHX approach patterns.

Seems like an attempt to tie in with the infamous "Phoenix Lights" sighting in the 90's, but a picture taken from that location suggests far too many more plausible alternatives.
