The Phoenix Lights - What's really behind the event?

This video depicts the typical attitude about "The Phoenix Lights". This is the erroneous perception that the lights videotaped the night of March 13, 1997 are attached to some type of humongous UFO when in fact they are military flare lights dropped by jets from the Maryland National Guard from over 30 miles south of Phoenix and the video tapes taken were even further away; for example the tape most used to show the lights is one made from a distance of at least 50 miles from the area the flares were dropped in over the Barry M. Goldwater Range. The lights are so singularly bright and clear because the lower frequencies of light that surround the flare interior are stripped off by the light's movement through over 30 miles of atmosphere; only the brightest light rays that were coming directly towards the videotape location would come through the atmosphere and be captured by the video camera's ccd; it's very similar to what happens to the view of the sun that you see as you descend deeper and deeper into the ocean until you reach a depth where no light can penetrate. All of the people who refuse to recognize the true nature of the "lights" are only "muddying the waters" for the rest of the world that would just like to know the real truth of what happened that evening. I don't have anything negative to say about these individuals whether witnesses or investigators; they have put themselves on the line by claiming these lights are not flares despite all of the evidence that contradicts that conclusion; this makes them emotionally bound to their "opinion" and kind of creates a blindspot in their thinking. The fact is they did not see an object; they saw unmoving lights come on and go off within 5 minutes and because they absolutely knew that there were UFO's passing over Phoenix that night from witnesses, they assumed what they saw was one of those UFO's. There is only one grainy videotape of 5 lights moving in formation taken right around 8:30 that evening just north of my location right before the craft with those 5 lights embedded in it passed over our house.

The producer of the video also took one of my images that is on my blog and inserted it into his video and animated it and never gave me credit for the original image creation. This is the image I'm talking about.

The world needs to get straight about what happened here in Phoenix the evening of March 13, 1997. Believing that the event was all about some lights videotaped in the sky is completely off track. Understanding that the event was about the visit of one or more real ET crafts is what it was about. The videotaped lights were a way of bringing worldwide attention to the witnesses who actually saw a real craft.
