It has been 26 years since the mysterious Phoenix Lights appeared over the Valley, and while we still don't know what it was, there are plenty of theories about it.

Phoenix Lights ping
I thought a program years ago said it was a bunch young people up on the hill with lights ,LOL
I know someone who was driving on Black Canyon fwy and saw these. Said everyone was slowing down and craning their necks to see this, kind of looking out windows and slightly weaving out of lanes (scary). He claimed they covered a huge part of the sky, he said looked like bigger than a football field and in a triangular formation. He never talked about UFOs before. Seemed to have no interest in that at all which made this seem more credible to me.
But on Wikipedia they claim they know the explanation for the Phoenix Lights. “Operation Snowbird, a pilot training program operated in the winter by the Air National Guard, out of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona”.
But then a second guy has another explanation, so who knows?
“Tucson astronomer and retired Air Force pilot James McGaha said he also investigated the two separate sightings and traced them both to A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft flying in formation at high altitude”.

E.T just wanted to phone home.
There are many people whose interest lies in explaining away phenomenon, especially other worldly phenomenon that does not fit into their naturalistic worldview.
Somehow I believe this is likely related to the nearby air force base. If they said they were investigating it too, I would consider that a possible cover story.
Seculars holding a naturalistic worldview do not want to admit that other-worldly phenomenon exist since if they do, the naturalistic worldview crashes and burns.
I was in Phoenix that week and recall that the chair force said that it was something that they were doing that night. Nothing Burger.
The scientific gentleman was a bachelor. He had no wife to call in and astonish, so he rang the bell for his servant.
‘Pruffle,’ said the scientific gentleman, ‘there is something very extraordinary in the air to-night? Did you see that?’ said the scientific gentleman, pointing out of the window, as the light again became visible.
‘Yes, I did, Sir.’
‘What do you think of it, Pruffle?’
‘Think of it, Sir?’
‘Yes. You have been bred up in this country. What should you say was the cause for those lights, now?’
The scientific gentleman smilingly anticipated Pruffle’s reply that he could assign no cause for them at all. Pruffle meditated.
‘I should say it was thieves, Sir,’ said Pruffle at length.
‘You’re a fool, and may go downstairs,’ said the scientific gentleman.
‘Thank you, Sir,’ said Pruffle. And down he went.
You may be remembering the Marfa lights in Texas, for which the best explanation turned out to be some kind of reflection from auto headlights.
The Phoenix lights were nothing like that.
The best book on this topic—imho:

She is the local who did the hard work on this.
The dubunkers tried to claim this was local, one day, in a narrow time frame.
They lied.
BS.
2 different incidents.
The only answers lacking are for the incident the government denies (the one which was NOT their intentional flare dropping by rotary winged a/c).
“Phoenix Lights” is a misnomer and it pisses me off every time it’s parroted by the media (gaslighting).
Their first explanation was ‘flares’.
There are three incidents that have convinced me that there’s something weird going on: The Lonnie Zamora case of 1964; the Falcon Lake incident of 1968 in Canada; and the Phoenix lights.
It’s estimated by people who have seriously studied UFOs that maybe 90 per cent of sightings/reports can be identified; but there’s still that 10 per cent.
Nope.
Davis-Monthan-based (Tucson) A-10s didn't normally fly formation over Phoenix when I was stationed at DM. They had their own range south of Tucson to fly around and practice over. Those flights wouldn't have been classified and anyone in the know at that time would have readily come out and verified the claim.
It’s really irrelevant what they are/were. What matters is that they have generated millions in revenue from web-clicks, to books, to Coast-to-Coast interviews, to articles, to blogs, to videos. The generation of vast amounts of money by a spiritually vacant culture desperately searching for meaning in a sea of chaos is what matters.
The Appalachian Brown Mountain Lights would like to have a word.
The incidents don’t have to be ‘aliens from outer space’ to represent something very strange and worthy of investigation.
Never mind. My memory is fading. It’s been 30 years since I was there. I completely forgot about Goldwater Range at Luke. I didn’t get around the A-10s much or their missions.
