| Agent Smith  |  The "Phoenix Lights" The Phoenix Lights Considering that i'm good friends with the Air Force Officer that lead the first investigation into the "Phoenix Lights" incident years ago when people thought there was a UFO floating over metropolitan Phoenix (and invariably right in the approach path of Sky Harbor), well, long story short I guess the story is back!

| Re: The "Phoenix Lights" Oh, geez. The very first time I saw the video of the "Phoenix lights" I said, "those are flares. What's the big deal?" People are dumb.

| Re: The "Phoenix Lights" I was under the impression that it was LUU-2 parachute flares that were the source of the first incident. They stay illuminated for many minutes and because of the parachute they descend very slowly. The MJU-10 or MJU-7 flares that an F-16 would drop would burn out quickly, and wouldn't have been able to sustain the scene that the Phoenix peeps saw. My vote is A-10s out of Tuscon that were operating on the Goldwater Range. If they were to re-create the scene, like this dude wants, with F-16s, it would just re-fuel the UFO freaks because it wouldn't look correct.
