Phoenix has a deep connection to the unexplained.
On March 13, 1997, many Arizonans from across the state allegedly saw a series of strange lights on two distinct occasions. The first was triangular formation that reportedly flew across the state while the second was a series of stationary lights hovering over Phoenix.
While the U.S. Air Force has explained the hovering stationary lights --- flares from an A-10 Warthog aircraft as part of training at the Barry Goldwater Range, according to the Mutual UFO Network --- the second one doesn’t have an explanation.
