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.

I'm not sure of what you mean, but I would tend to say that showing your 
stuff would clarify things up, not the contrary.
Saying things without any proofs is useless.  In fact, it's plain stupid. 
Sorry to be harsh, but what is the point of telling all this if you don't 
have facts to support your claims?

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.

"larger scale", like what?  2 miles wide, like one ufo seen by several 
credible peoples that night?
Have you some special license to make those things fly around?  It's sort of 
dangerous for the air traffic you know.  And is it equipped with stealth 
technology, since the ufos were not detected by radars?  Does the USAF know 
about these objects?  Seems not, weird!  It could be foreign spying devices, 
but sure they don't care.

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.

Night skies are never totally black near towns.

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.

Why would these guys stay in the shadow?  Wouldn't it be simple and smart to 
explain everything to the public instead of making people waste their time 
trying to understand what happened?
