 Good documentary, although lacking a few things September 15, 2008
This is a well put together piece documenting the thousands of reports of unexplained lights over the Phoenix area in 1997. Contains many eyewitness reports, video footage and commentary from experts in the field.
However, I would have liked to have seen some analysis of the flare theory dropping behind the mountains. On another program attempting to debunk the incident, they plausibly showed how the line of disappearing lights coincide with the outline of the mountain. True, no illuminated smoke or parachute is visible, but at that distance, would it show?
What is more conclusive are the reports and video footage of the triangular series of amber lights (and in the years afterwards) in my opinion.
The DVD extras are not very interesting, wanted some follow-up investigatory work.
All in all, a very interesting documentation of the lights, albeit, not very objective, but fascinating.
 Convincing without some very important evidence... June 17, 2008

There is some very important research that has been done on at least one famous video of the Phoenix Lights which I found extremely compelling. They examined a video that shows the V formation over the city in the distance, where each of the orbs flickered out one by one. They located where this video was taken, and which direction, based on the shadow of a nearby bluff in the foreground, and took a still in daylight. This photo shows the mountain range at the other side of the city. Then using a computer they overlaid the daylight photo with the Phoenix Lights video, and what you see is shocking. The Phoenix Lights, once given daylight perspective, appear to be hovering over the distant mountain range -- much further away than they originally looked... And they were not moving forward but descending upon the profile of the mountain. Each light "flickered out" just as it disappeared behind the mountain, one by one.
There was no question in my mind what these lights were, now that we could see it with some perspective: high altitude military flares, just as the military had tried to explain to the press after the event. These flares were deployed in the exact direction that the cameras were pointing, and were NOT over the city but much further away, at the other side of the mountain.
Light can be seen a lot further in the dark than one would expect, and can trick the eye. One evening, while in the back yard of a house in St. Petersburg, Florida, I spotted the Space Shuttle take off from Cape Canaveral at the other side of the state. I don't recall how dark it was, but I couldn't believe I could see it from so far away. The rocket flare was so bright that it looked as large as my pinky's finger nail.
I have also seen military flares before, also in Florida. They were dropped out of an aircraft that I couldn't see. But they looked very different from the flares in the Phoenix Lights video, which is why I doubted the flares explanation like everyone else. Flares do tend to illuminate the smoke trail above them, for one. The Phoenix Lights didn't. But *that's because they are a lot further away than you think.* They are much brighter and burn a different color. They are high-altitude flares used for night-time training exercises at the military base.
Does this account for all the Phoenix Lights reports? I have no idea. I heard testimony from people who said these things flew past their house, directly overhead. Whether we're dealing with two sets of phenomena that coincidentally look alike and take place at the same time, or people are making mistakes about how they remember the lights because of the way night time distorts perspective, is up to you.
Frankly I felt a little let down that at least that video of the lights were identified, because the phenomenon, the way it is presented in this video, is certainly awe inspiring. But we need to seek truth, and that means being open minded. Those who believe in extra-terrestrial visitations claim that skeptics are all close-minded, but they are being hypocritical: close-minded people will not believe anything except what they want to believe, even in the face of sound logic and contrary evidence. Both believers and skeptics can fall into this category, and I maintain that a good truth-seeker must not be close minded in either direction. There is a lot of reporting out there that simply defies logical explanation and in order to fish out the truth we can't dismiss anything out of hand, one way or the other, regardless of what we want to believe.

Nicely done , and detailed. I especially enjoyed the eye witness accounts of what they saw. If this subject interests you , i highly recomend this Documentary.
 Exciting encounter, covered by an exciting documentary May 20, 2008

Having always been a proponent of the Phoenix Lights sighting events, I was excited to say the least when the opportunity came up to review this documentary. I attended a viewing of the DVD at a Mainline MUFON event and was not disappointed. Not only does the military's explanation of these lights being flares seem even more ludicrous, the amazing quantity and quality of videos and eye witness testimony presented in this DVD should be enough to sway anyone on the fence regarding this sighting. The residents of Phoenix Arizona truly something incredible and Dr. Lynne Kitei did an incredible job by documenting these lights and presenting her experiences here.
Best family film on the topic May 6, 2008

Fascinating and informative. Definitely worth seeing with the family. Our 10 year old asked us to get it after he read the book. The entire family ended up watching it together and loved it. Gave us lots to talk about and consider.
