A Phoenix man says he caused the red light display that mystified thousands of people as it floated across the north Phoenix sky Monday night.

Strange Lights in Valley Sky-ABC 15

“An official from Luke Air Force Base stated that they do not have any aircraft in the sky tonight and that the lights are not part of any Air Force activities.

The Deer Valley airport officials said that the lights were not from any aircraft at that airport.

Ian Gregor, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration said that air traffic controllers at Sky Harbor Airport also witnessed the lights, but they do not know the cause.”

This is Alien Jesus’ neck of the woods and this is the first time anybody is making a big deal about these lights. They’ve been around for years and nobody ever knows anything. Nobody ever much looks.

What I find the most interesting is last night so many people were looking up and decided this was strange.

  1. Somewhat similar activity in St Augustine, FL in the past couple of weeks. Read about it here, or go here for video (and some bad commercials that you can’t skip).

  2. Quite a bit of video out there. Searching Youtube for phoenix light videos uploaded in the past week brings up a ton of stuff. These two are pretty decent:

    And here’s the really important question: Are Arizona firefighters trained for UFO, alien contact?

  3. Couple of items from the Phoenix New Times today. First, Air Traffic Controllers Who Saw UFO Muzzled by FAA:

    Air traffic controllers in the main tower of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport saw last night’s bizarre spectacle of red lights flying across North Valley skies, but the Federal Aviation Administration won’t let them talk to the media.

    Ian Gregor, FAA regional spokesman, says the agency’s policy won’t allow controllers to comment even if they want to relate their experience.

    Second, Chopper Pilot Says UFOs probably balloons with flares. In this one, there are a few folks saying this event was just balloons with flares attached. However, there’s more food for paranoid cover-up thoughts:

    Phoenix police said earlier today they would allow the media to interview pilot Bruce Bates, who claims to have had a good view of the mysterious lights observed and photographed by residents in the North Valley. Police spokeswoman Stacie Derge later canceled the meeting…

  4. More on the balloon and flare hoax theory: Phoenix man: Neighbor caused Monday’s mysterious lights

    Lino Mailo, 44, said he saw his neighbor launch several helium balloons with flares attached to them from the back porch of his north Phoenix home. Mailo said the balloons took off about 8 p.m., right before the mysterious lights were spotted.
