World UFO Day was July 2. Do you
believe?
Many people who were living in Arizona
March 13, 1997, will recall the Phoenix Lights sighting. The unidentified
flying object was reportedly seen from Tucson to the Nevada state line. Even
Arizona’s governor, Fife Symington III, saw it.
But what the thousands saw was
months later after I had seen my own UFO going home from work one Thursday
night in November 1996.
It was huge and flying low. The
lights covered the sky, and I could barely keep my eyes on the road as I looked
up through my windshield. What I saw did not resemble the “V” formation
everyone else saw in 1997.
The UFO I saw was moving very
slowly and quietly toward me as I headed south on 91st Avenue, almost to
McDowell Road. It had multicolored lights: white, yellow and red. It was right
over me as I got to McDowell. I was looking in disbelief. Then the lights went
dark, and I could barely make out a dark object overhead. After some 15 seconds
passed, I saw other multiple flying objects farther away with their colored
lights and they suddenly moved into formation and sped away westward at a very
fast rate of speed and were gone.
I hurried home, ran in the house
and told my husband about it. He found it all amusing and poked fun at me while
I was running around scared and went back outside to see if I could spot them
again. Maybe they were still hanging around. No luck. What I had seen was gone.
At work the following day, I told
my story to a co-worker who said he’d seen the same thing on a different night.
He and his family were intrigued with the whole thing, so they’d go to the
Estrella Mountains, park and wait to see if they could see them again. He said
there was no way this had anything to do with Luke Air Force Base because he
had spent a lot of time checking out what was flying in and out of Luke at
night and never saw anything that came remotely close to what we saw.
