the Phoenix lights thing was pretty strange ... why nobody flew up for a closer look, even a private pilot, seems strange. If they did I never heard about it. There were up there for some period of time holding formation. It couldn't have been candles on x sticks lifting clear laundry bags. They wouldn't have stayed in formation at any altitude for any length of time. That *was* pretty strange but I thought this article was funny.
My friend said she saw them as they were driving in from Tucson. They were in the vicinity of South Chandler when all the traffic just stopped to look at it. She said it was enormous, and was moving very slowly.
