Former Arizona Governor Fife Symington will be moderating a November 12 event at the National Press Club where he will discuss the Phoenix Lights incident. He says he will be joined by 14 former high-ranking military and government officials from seven countries who will share evidence from what they call their own UFO experiences and investigations.

Fife Symington says he nearly had a close encounter while governor of Arizona.

(CNN) -- In 1997, during my second term as governor of Arizona, I saw something that defied logic and challenged my reality.

I witnessed a massive delta-shaped, craft silently navigate over Squaw Peak, a mountain range in Phoenix, Arizona. It was truly breathtaking. I was absolutely stunned because I was turning to the west looking for the distant Phoenix Lights.

To my astonishment this apparition appeared; this dramatically large, very distinctive leading edge with some enormous lights was traveling through the Arizona sky.

I don't care what he saw. If the green men would happen to crash on U.S. soil, and didn't have a green card, then they gotsta go. Look what happened during that one movie with James Caan "Alien Nation": Illegal Aliens on the dole, hooked on crack, and reveling in human porn.

It’s frightening what those bathhouse parties will do to a guy’s scalp...

Dennis Kucinich is the governor of Arizona????

If you see a UFO, how do you know it’s a UFO?............

It's seems like the USA's nutbag quotient has been rising.

Maybe Carlton Ridenhour was right.

“I was absolutely stunned because I was turning to the west looking for the distant Phoenix Lights.”

Anything spotted at night is dubious.

Don't Bogart that joint my friend and it wouldn't be so breathtaking.

I wonder with all of this UFO chatter no one has come up with a decent photo of an UFO. Photos of pie plates just don’t cut it.

[Yo-Yo]

Oh gawd, not the infamous Phoenix lights again.

They were proven to be parachute flares from a nighttime military exercise.

Ya' think?

Cuz it is flying, and you don’t know what it is. If you can’t identify it, it’s a UFO. Note, a UFO is not necessarily a “flying saucer” and it isn’t necessarily “from out there”.

I wish folks would get off this. I’m an amateur astronomer, and over the last forty plus years, I’ve seen a LOT Of weird things in the sky (no, I don’t think they were aliens)... lol

But, just because someone sees something he or she can not explain doesn’t mean they are kooks.

I wonder if he saw Dennis Kuchinich in the drivers seat and just isn’t saying.

[Rick.Donaldson]

How's that? :)

Your link to the parachute flares deals with an Arkansas sighting.
