Classified Phoenix Lights Footage Surfaces

PHOENIX, AZ – Leaked classified footage of the PHOENIX LIGHTS surfaced online this week. Phoenix investigative journalist, David Collins, claims to have obtained unreleased footage from the famous UFO sighting that took place March 13th, 1997 in the skies over Arizona.

Thousands of people across the state reported seeing a V-shape formation of lights flying low and silently over Phoenix airspace. The phenomenon became known as the “Phoenix Lights” and sparked books, documentaries and even called for a government investigation by Senator John McCain. In the months following the 1997 sighting, U.S. Air Force officials claimed a squadron of A-10 Warthogs had dropped flares over the Phoenix basin; however local eyewitness accounts dispute the facts.

Now 17 years after the controversial sighting, UFO enthusiasts and Phoenix area residents are looking to internet for answers. Collins, a freelance investigator from KWBV Phoenix, reportedly obtained the footage during an unrelated investigation; however Air Force officials have made no comment and the footage has not been verified by the military.
