This is hilarious.  I've been experimenting with a magician's

illusion

principle known as the "Pepper's Ghost" principle.  I've been able

to

duplicate with precision accuracy some of the supposed best

documented

UFO photographs in history.


That's cool!
Now show us the result =)

I've even developed a way to see live aliens
inside the ship walking around.


Amazing!
Show us the result! ;-)

In reference to your kite method.  I pulled that one when I was
younger.  I built flat black kites with a light source (usually a

glow

stick) suspended below it, then flew them at night.  I was a smart

ass

and used a fishing pole to fly my kites from.  BTW, this s another
magician's principle called "black art".  Basically black (the

kite) on

a black backgound (night sky) cannot be seen.  Thus only my light
source (glow stick) was visible dancing in the night sky.  I also

made

other UFOs and suspended them from the kite, they were illuminated

from

within.


Wow!
Please show us some footage! :)

Lastly, I live in Phoenix and know for a fact that the Phoenix

Lights

were a hoax.  It was a hot air rig built by two engineers who work

at

Intel.


Now that's a good explanation!
Now give us your sources and the name of these engineers. :-D
(otherwise we could think you're just a lamer ;-))

As one of the handful of "men behind the curtain" I'm not quite ready
to show photos (I have stills and videos).  When your work is that of
which legends are made, it's not easy giving that up.  Myself and two
other welders built the frame for what has now become the known as the
"Phoenix Lights".  It's a rig that can be broken down and hauled around
in a race car trailer.  In a nutshell, it's a black (flat black) hot
air balloon.  They built at least three smaller models that I am aware
of, trying to develope a prototype that would fly.  Then they took
those dimensions and applied them on a larger scale.  One thing I
guarantee you'll NEVER see, is this thing flying around on a windy
night, they're too afraid it would crash.  Weather conditions have to
be just right or you haven't got an illusion, you've got a salvage
operation.  What sets this flying triangle apart from other hot air
balloons is the heat source (three sources), and that's what this feat
of engineering is really all about.  It's ingenious the way it's
hidden, something like a magician would think up to hide a girl in
plain sight.  Against the (moonless) night sky everything is hidden
(black on black) unless the lights are turned on.  The lights have a
twofold purpose: for landing and for visibility.  With them off, the
craft is all but invisible against the night sky.


If you don't believe any of this, it doesn't concern me.  I've said far
more than you're ever likely to hear from anyone else involved.
