The Encounter
The encounter involved multiple witnesses in Phoenix, Arizona, who observed unusual lights in the sky on two separate occasions. The first sighting occurred around 8:28 PM when one witness recorded a V formation of five to six amber lights moving silently from north to south. The lights changed positions and appeared very large, close to a mile long. About 90 minutes later, at around 10 PM, several witnesses saw nine lights suspended in the sky. These lights were described as enormous and brighter than city lights. Witnesses included families and individuals who recorded the events on video. The impact of these sightings left the witnesses amazed and uncertain about what they had seen, with many expressing a desire to share their experiences.
