On March 13, 1997, thousands of witnesses in and around Phoenix, Arizona, caught a glimpse of bright, unidentified lights moving silently across the night sky. The phenomenon, known as the Phoenix Lights, was laughed at by government officials, which only led to more speculation about coverups, UFOs, and secret government experiments. Despite some of the “official explanations” none have been satisfying enough to rule out the possibility that the Phoenix Lights could be something more supernatural.
