Maybe this wasn't the best example video. But it covers a lot of what happened including the craziness of the night, the coverup of the Air-Force, the governor (Fife Symington at the time, who was in very deep water, a scandal himself, for fraud and tried to deflect, playing along with the Air Force to hide what they all knew to be true) - instead, he made fun of the event. That hurt the entire event tremendously when your own governor (a Republican btw), does this to your city Councillor (Frances Barwood who is demanding answers) He made a mockery out of 700 witnessses. Now, decades later he comes out saying, "Oh, I saw it too, I was there, I saw the entire thing..and I'm sorry I lied" You can't repair the damage, it's too latel
There was only one really valid video I ever saw of the actual event by a witness, the others I think are more questionable. My husband talked to Dr. Lynn (as she's called - a chiropractor ) Lynn Keitel, who wanted desperately to do a documentary and cash-in with the backing of Howie Hormel (and he did back it) along with the late Jim DelaTossa (filming).....based on the book she wrote. But her photos as my husband told her one evening over the phone when she tried to convince him and she didn't want to hear - simply were headlights from the cars in most instances, and not "orbs" as she maintained. Oh well......you can't convince some people, and she was determined to cash in and did. We felt it was misleading, and as with the current times, misleading can be more harmful then nothing at all.
Here is one example WHY that is so.
The History Channel (often has no history whatsoever anymore) - did a Special on "The Phoenix Lights"....and in that special, they showed the "Lights at 7 P.M. event over the Estrella Mountain Range:
UFO sightings in 1997 turned out actually to be parachute-equipped illumination flares. Could these, and other military decoy strategies be behind more UFO sightings?

The Air Force said it was nothing more then the Md. Air National Guard and you could see on History channel, one by one, the lights go out over the mountain range.
THAT is NOT even the same mountain Range WE saw them come over NOR the Same TIME! (7:30PM South Mountain Range)
So you see how easily confusion played into the entire thing.
Even an air force pilot and his wife, driving on the freeway that evening saw the same one we saw. It was the same night that Hale-Bopp Comet was in the night sky in California, quite clear in the Western sky and not long thereafter, the cult took their lives saying a UFO was going to "pick them up".
