New evidence has emerged allegedly proving the military's involvement in the infamous UFO sighting.
One of the best known UFO cases in the United States, the Phoenix Lights was a mass sighting that occurred over Arizona in 1997.

Thousands of people reported witnessing either a series of stationary lights over the Phoenix area or a separate triangular shaped formation of lights that was seen passing over the state.

These sightings have generated significant controversy over the years and given rise to many conflicting theories and explanations.
Now however investigate journalist David Collins has allegedly acquired a leaked video showing what he is claiming to be evidence that fighter jets were dispatched to intercept the lights.

"Newly released classified footage of the infamous lights depicts military craft over the Phoenix basin engaging unknown aircraft," collins wrote, claiming that the video "verified" the presence of the military at the time of the original incident back in 1997.



The footage that Collins claims shows the military's involvement can be viewed - here.

Are you sure you are talking about the same video? Does it matter? No. The issue is whether or not a video camera captures correct color. The comment you post about orange lights is irrelevant since it does not address the issue that was being discussed. Please read the thread and track the posts back to learn what was being discussed at the time. I was referring to eyewitnesses who described orange lights because videos can be misleading.

I was referring to eyewitnesses who described orange lights because videos can be misleading. And dust and aerosols in the atmosphere can make a white light from 60 miles away look orange.

I was referring to eyewitnesses who described orange lights because videos can be misleading. Which is irrelevant to the discussion we were having. The issue was not what the eye can detect or changes to colors due to atmospheric conditions, but rather what is knowable about color from a video image.

4- is it possible the Proctor video does not show individual lights? i.e. if it was hypothetically a solid shape, could the different angles during flight create a perspective of individual lights? If you make a triangle and mark 5 points on it, then move it into different angles the distance between the points seems to change....is it possibly the case for the video or is it 100% 5 individual lights? thanks for response Chrlzs. quick question though, you answered yes to the above, my bad for not just having one question. Which of the three questions within the above text were you answering ye... [More]

Yup, should have been more clear. My 'yes' was to the first 3 points you made: "is it possible the Proctor video does not show individual lights? - Yes... and unless we get to see it.. "i.e. if it was hypothetically a solid shape, could the different angles during flight create a perspective of individual lights?" - Yes... even small angle changes will make a difference, and of course that angle will change as the craft move towards/away/across the field of view. "If you make a triangle and mark 5 points on it, then move it into different angles the distance between the points seems to change.... [More]

In this case there is supposed to be a triangle with 5 lights on it. The relative distance between the points will change as the object rotates and translates relative to us. What I don't see possible is the rearrangement of the lights being possible as seen on the Proctor video.

Thank you Chrlzs, so you would then have to agree that neither the Proctor video or Mitch's statement constitute hard evidence of planes? to be clear I am not saying that there were no planes in the sky, I am saying that it certainly isn't a slam dunk Yes, I agree. No slam dunk, and like 100% of these cases to date (still happy to genuinely address 'the one' if anyone can come up with some real evidence..), it is simply a case of some lights in the sky that have not been absolutely identified. But I have to ask, does that non-absolute identification help us in any way? Does it make it somehow ... [More]

Ok Now Im Lost ! Did the Fighter Jets shoot E.T. down again ? Man Were a nasty Lot on this Planet ! I suppose we did stray a bit from the original premise of the thread. The rather dubious footage of jets engaging the Phoenix lights UFOs.

THere have been a few reports over the years of Fighter Jets actually trying to engage UFO`s. They all end Like the one on Star trek. Nada !
