Hi Kal,
I am glad you're back on Updates. Love to debate you. (No sarcasm
intended).
The report above from the Arizona Republic is interesting.
Not because it explains the Phoenix March sightings, but
because it underlines what I'm constantly trying to point
out on this forum, namely that people shouldn't bother
trying to get their Air Force to explain UFOs.
>"I had one too many UFO calls," says Guard Capt. Eileen
>Bienz.
I can understand that fully. These people have work to do.
If I were him I would send them fishing too and would even
go so far as to present bogus explanations if that would
help. I would study UFOs in my spare time.
The Phoenix sightings:
. there were dozens of reports of a massive triangle
that moved around 30 mph and made no sound.
No matter how people try to explain this away, this behavior is
outside the performance envelope of known terrestrial aircraft,
so air force exercises can be ruled out.
It had seven lights on it in triangular formation. As far as I
know this is not US Air Force standard lighting configuration.
Finally: secret planes are used secretly, not over Phoenix.
So what is it?
