McCain swamp gas.
I saw one video of the “Phoenix lights” on the History Channel. The lights were easily identifiable as illumination flares dropped from an aircraft.

His "worldview went sideways?"
WTF does that mean?
There were two formations seen at different times.
One was definitely proved to be flares dropped behind the distant mountains by overlaying the video on daylight video of the area and showing that each light disappeared when it went behind a mountain peak.
The other “V shaped” formation was seen by a teenager with a telescope. He said it was a formation of small aircraft, but few people print his story and you almost never hear his name mentioned.
And you don't drop them over a CITY!
They weren’t anywhere near the city. There is really no doubt about that.

If we aren’t being visited by UFOs, how do you explain the technology used to build Karl Rove’s weather machine?
It may be that there was a different triangle-shapped phenomenon people in Phoenix have reported aside from these flares.
[. . .how do you explain the technology used to build Karl Roves weather machine?]
Rove discovered blueprints for the weather machine in a Nazi archive where he was researching sword canes and poison umbrellas.
There were supposedly two separate sightings in Phoenix that night. The first is the one you describe, of illumination flares in the distance falling behind a local mountain range.
The second happened some time later (an hour or two, I believe). This is the one where people say they saw a triangular object flying at very low altitude over their houses in the city.
It seems like a respectful letter. Now the NY Times (in the person, so to speak, of the Herald Tribune is attacking John McCain for NOT investigating UFOs thoroughly enough? Gee, I’m sure the Democratic (recent) frontrunner would have done all she could have, if only she had ever had access to the White House information on UFOs...

I sure as hell don’t see anything particularly otherworldly.
So the aliens were late for the USAF show? I found on You Tube other videos ... not neccesarily that day... which looks like aircraft flying in triangular formation. No reason to believe they were alien aircraft.
I never said that there was. I was simply replying to an earlier poster who thought there may have been another sighting that night besides these flares and that indeed seems to be the case.
I have no idea what the 2nd group of people saw, but the first were almost certainly flares. Many reported that the 2nd sighting was of something low enough to see solid structure between the lights and if that’s true, that rules out aircraft flying in formation.
Given the total lack of physical evidence, the only reasonable conclusion is that these people obviously saw something they could not explain. It could’ve been aliens, it could’ve been an airplane, it could’ve been Santa Claus, or it could’ve been nothing at all. With no evidence, we can only speculate.
