(6,535 posts)as it relates to the main incident, which was a large, silently moving v-shaped formation of lights (or, according to some witnesses, a solid or at least opaque v-shaped mile-wide object with lights on its leading edge), first seen over the Northwestern part of the state (or actually in Nevada I think), then moving rapidly in a south-easterly direction and passing over the Phoenix metropolitan area over a timeframe from about 8:05 PM local time (when it was first spotted) to something like 8:30 PM...and then it moved south, apparently, I don't know, but anyway the Air National Guard undoubtedly dropped some flares later that evening, around 10:00, for some reason not anywhere near where they would usually have done so under normal practice circumstances, such that the whole damn city could see them floating and then disappearing over the mountain.
Just about every photo/video I have seen of this/these events is of the later, flare-dropping part.
There is some kid that the media found who swears the V-shaped formation was "just planes" and everyone put two and two together and said "oh well obviously it was just those A-10s flying at high altitude with their landing lights on or something, haha, totally makes sense, let's just move on..." but the timeline is completely off and none of it makes the slightest bit of sense.
So yes, all you will hear about this whole "Phoenix Lights" incident from all of your sane, rational, normal authorities is that "it was just flares" and that is the accepted story, and that is what you will always hear, as if that settles it.
But let me tell you, from the perspective of having been there and seen the thing at about 8:15 PM, moving, from the perspective of a hill outside of Prescott: "it was just flares, nothing to see here" my ass.
But again, nobody wants to hear it. I think at this point space aliens could literally just blend in with society and nobody would notice; partly because everything is so fucked up in general, what difference would it make?, and partly because nobody can be bothered.
