my only reason for believing that the PHX lights are not of UFO origin is simply that there were no military craft on it's arse. I think if a craft of that size and of the dimensions reported was hovering around for an hour, then it would certainly have been surrounded within a fraction of that time. not to mention no news helicopters were around the scene either.
if the flight wasn't planned by the gov't then the military would be all over it.
The United States Air Force later identified the lights as flares from the Barry Goldwater Range, but many continue to believe differently.

Because anyone who COULD has been sworn to secrecy! Come on people! Work towards a higher standard here!

Okay, so a higher standard means accepting that our own U.S. Government would deliberately test a top secret craft over a highly populated space to make us believe we are being visited by aliens? That is not a higher standard. That is lunacy.
That is unnaceptable. Period.
True Patriotism means the public can have a right to know what is flying directly over their homes, not over restricted airspace. Our soldiers fight for that right too. Apparently you have forgotten this.

Some thoughts that seem to escape most of you:
1) it can't be flares, because flares don't travel in perfect triangles.
2) it may be aliens, or the government. Or it may be the result of a crazy tycoon, with lots of money and some crazy scientists to back him up.
3) if its the government, it makes sense to hover it above the public. They wanted to see what the public can make of it. To this day, after so many years, we still don't know what it was. I think that made those engineers really happy.
4) it could simply be 3 lights attached to a form of sophisticated kite...an elaborate prank by the same kind of people that make the crop circles.

I think that if they were keeping all of this from the public, they would test these secret machines in the middle of nowhere and not over a crowded city.
