Phoenix lights are still a mystery

PHOENIX - the buzz is all around in the Phoenix area. A set of unexplained lights over the area are reportedly seen by several people and even caught on video. Several Valley residents claimed seeing strange red lights in sky on Monday night. The cause of the these strange unidentified lights is still a mystery.

A north Phoenix resident, staying anonymous, said “I saw four or five red lights lined up in a straight line and spaced apart evenly. The lights slowly moved down the east and became dimmer”. He added the last light remained in the sky the longest. Then three jets came from the west and traveled in the direction of the red lights.

An official from Luke Air Force Base stated that they do not have any aircraft in the sky tonight and that the lights are not part of any Air Force activities. The Deer Valley airport officials said that the lights were not from any aircraft at that airport.

Ian Gregor, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration said that air traffic controllers at Sky Harbor Airport also witnessed the lights, but they do not know the cause.

The incident is similar to the “Phoenix Lights” seen on March 13, 1997. Thousands of residents reported seeing a mile-wide, v-shaped formation of lights over the Valley. In that case the lights appeared about 7:30 p.m. and lasted until 10:30 p.m.
