The Encounter
The experiencer is an unidentified pilot who encountered strange lights while flying near an airport in Arizona. He was with his son when he saw six bright lights in a V-shape in the night sky.

After landing, he forgot about the incident until he saw a television show two years later that mentioned the same event. He realized he was the pilot who reported the lights. The encounter had a significant impact on him, as he felt a sense of wonder and confusion about the experience, which he had initially forgotten.
