...... Now that you mention it .... The area that we were at was a little over 200 miles from Groom Lake, NV ..... Hmmmmm ....
The Phoenix lights thing flew over Prescott AZ I guess. They had people who saw that thing from there all the way back to the NV border.
So some people got heir maps out and drew lines. It came from north of Las Vegas and made a course correction around Prescott and headed to the valley of the sun.
BTW, the governor of the state of AZ saw it. At first he joked about it-even had a news conference where they spoofed an alien, etc. Later he admitted he saw it and since he was a former Pilot, he admitted he had never seen anything like it.
There were virtually THOUSANDS of people who saw it. Why they flew that thing over Phoenix is anyone’s guess.
