UFOs flew over Phoenix in '97, Symington says By Tom Beal ARIZONA DAILY STAR
"The universe is a big place, and we're conceited to think we're alone." Fife Symington, former Ariz. governor Former Gov. Fife Symington says now that those strange lights that appeared over Phoenix a decade ago were from another world and that he had a close encounter with an alien craft on March 13, 1997.
"I'm a pilot and I know just about every machine that flies. It was bigger than anything that I've ever seen. It remains a great mystery. Other people saw it, responsible people," Symington said Thursday. "I don't know why people would ridicule it."
Symington, who was in his second term as governor of Arizona during the Phoenix Lights incident, recently told a UFO investigator making a documentary that he had kept quiet about his personal close encounter because he didn't want to panic the populace. He repeated his story Thursday on CNN, saying the craft he saw was "enormous. It just felt other-worldly. In your gut, you could just tell it was other-worldly."

You weren't yet born when UFO sightings and claims of rides in space crafts and abductions by aliens were the rage.
It's a cookbook!
I'm a UFO buff, sorta.
There is a show on the History Channel (I think) called UFO Files.
I've seen many of them. One in particular has me going Hmmmmm.
It concerns airline and Air Force pilot's reports.
They play actual pilot to controller tapes.
Pretty spooky.

People in Alabama see more Flying Rods than any other state. I have always found that odd.
A more crediable report was from a police helicopter who encountered a strange object on a night patrol over Phx. It would have to be awfully "strange" for a police helicopter pilot to report a object as something "strange."
I was, I was.
George Adamski... Read several of his books back in the '50s.
Then there is that nut in Switzerland (?), Billy Meyer. Although I think he is more contemporary.
Rides in spacecrafts? Hey, that sounds pretty cool. ;) Lol some things I'm really glad I missed...
tooo damn funny...
</conspiracy theory>
I don't know what Symington saw. But the Phoenix lights was pretty obviously flares. I lived in Scottsdale at the time and the flares disappeared in a pattern that matched the mountains
You're GOOD. I don't remember any of their names. I do recall the one black guy and his wife making a claims of abduction.
Crackpots and attention seekers. They were laughable but they got a lot of media attention.
I have a college friend who is a AF pilot. He says that many experienced pilots have witnessed UFOs. However, these guys keep quiet about it almost universally because they don't want to be take off flight status (permanently).
The lights were not just seen in Phoenix that night, it was reported from the Nevada line, through Phoenix, to the edge of Tucson within about a 3 hour time frame.
Hasn't the flying rods been proved to be artifacts caused by insects flying fast enough to leave a streak on the tape?
I recall seeing a video of flying rods around the mouth of a cave, lots of rods. Strange place for alien craft.
Nice cups...
Thinking we're probably not alone in the universe is one thing. ....a reasonable view.
Maintaining that a craft from one of these alien civilizations buzzed Phoenix in '97 is quite another.
He repeated his story Thursday on CNN, saying the craft he saw was "enormous."
Uh oh. The fabled Mothership?
I hear all these stories that sound compelling, but every time I check on an individual story, there's nothing to it.
