These parties are not open to the public, which is why you won't see the date listed on any posters for the Amigo Airsho. It is open only to the volunteers and sponsors. I used to work those parties for a local beer distributor. Here is a story from KTSM TV, the ones who started it all when they posted the video without making any phone calls or practicing responsible, basic journalism, stating that it WAS the Golden Knights, and not a UFO.

Hello,
Yes, that was us! This is something that happens quite often when we do twilight or night jumps…people for miles around who don’t realize that there is a pyrotechnic jump going on think that there is a meteor or a UFO! The local law enforcement and news agencies get frequent phone calls from people who think that it’s anything from a UFO to a nuclear missile. It’s just the Golden Knights, doing what we do best and wowing the crowd, while demonstrating the precision and discipline that the Army has taught us. Thanks for your concern!
Blue Skies!

there's a huge stack of evidence showing that it was them, then they confirmed it.
it has absolutely nothing to do with ed mitchel whatsoever, whether i believe him or not is totally irrelevant to this incident.
thanks

I just want to know if you believe what Ed Mitchell is saying. There are also stacks of evidence to validate his claims.
Btw, that "huge stack of evidence" that you are saying is not being validated by the US military. Do you think that the US military is that dumb not to know that there are skydivers doing that at night. Aren't they "skydiving" in the area of the US military?

Don't be sorry if you don't think they look the same. I don't either. My problem is that the lights hold steadier positions than the comparison Knight footage posted by Phage where they move around as they come down. Not saying that they are ufo, just that they look different.
Nothing wrong with stating your opinion.
