Flares, laughable. I think you all do a discredit to the witnesses and find your own comfy zone by attributing such incidents down to flares. It really is laughable because it raises the point that NON of you have even bothered to read about such phenomena and it's history, Jacques valllee and Richard Dolan are just names to you people. You all beg for answers yet you seem uninterested in the literature. Ill say it like i see it.
Governments lie.
Timothy good, Jacques vallee and Richard Dolan do not, unless you're a half wit.
Are you saying flares don't explain the popular video made around 10pm, seen here?

Yes, flares are a laughable explanation for this event, unless we are to believe they were dropped all over the state and hung in the air for hours.

Most people agree that's flares, so it's hard to call the flares explanation untrue with regard to that video.
To claim that something else was seen earlier wasn't caused by flares is a more believable claim, however the lack of any good video evidence of that like we have of the flares is a little disappointing.
Now in the first instance, the Military state that they had no aircraft in the air or scheduled to be in the air.Then, at 10 pm, the residents of Phoenix see another set of lights, similar but not the same as the solid object that was viewed earlier. By now, many of the public are tooled up with cameras and lo and behold, they manage to capture some pretty good footage.

For some people this issue isn't about proof, it is about "group think".
People have certain preconceived notions and "feelings" about this topic that prevent them from thinking critically or considering the evidence objectively.
If a person doesn't want to believe it is always possible to rationalize the evidence away.
Even a direct personal experience could be dismissed as an hallucination after the fact.
Once people feel that others who are similar to them are interested in the topic they too will think about it.
"Group think" prevents rational thought.
But in the end many people will claim "I always knew the were real..."
I don't think its group think per se, I think they're so used to a particular pattern of thought that it becomes routine, i.e. second nature. Adhering to a pattern hinders critical thinking. This applies to both the believers and the non believers.

It's just frustrating sitting at home watching countless hours of Alien documentaries, reading about them constantly, seeing pictures & videos etc and still there's no admittance by the government that they actually exist.
