Submitted by MJ12 Mason: Nearly a decade after the highly publicized ‘Phoenix Light Phenomenon’, more strange lights have appeared in the night sky over downtown Phoenix. Tuesday night, mysterious lights lit up the western skies over Phoenix and soon after, phones began ringing off the hook at radio, television and police stations from witnesses wondering what the lights were.The Yuma Marine Base claims it has the answer. Base officials said the amber-colored flares came from training flights on the Goldwater Gunnery Range. They went on to explain that the amber flares are used as targets.Witnesses said it appeared the flares were flying in a formation and base officials explained that the flares float down to Earth attached to parachutes.Back in March of 1997, a huge object was spotted over parts of Arizona that many witnesses believed to be an extraterrestrial spacecraft that was drifting slowly and silently over the region.

The ‘Phoenix Light Phenomenon” became one of the most publicized and well-documented UFO sightings in recent history.The Air Force said they were flares from an A-10 but many critics said flares couldn’t fly on their own over such a large distance.The Discovery Channel has done a special on the lights. A movie has even been made about them which recently came out on DVD.

The movie, called 'Night Skies', sucks imho. It is said that a person claims this has really happened, but I don't know. I never had good or bad experiences with ET, so who am I to claim it as nonsense.

Wish I'd been there when the Phoenix Lights appeared in the skies that night in 1997. It must have been an awesome sight.

That artist pic is very interesting. I know it's based on the reports from people. But it looks soooo much like a B-2 Stealth bomber. I wouldn't be surprised if a great many reported black wedge-shaped UFOs are just various stealth aircraft being tested or transported.
