The Phoenix Lights refer to a series of widely reported sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) over the city of Phoenix, Arizona, on the night of March 13, 1997. Thousands of residents observed a large, V-shaped formation of lights moving silently across the sky. The event gained significant media attention and sparked various theories about the nature of the lights. Investigations into the Phoenix Lights revealed that some sightings could be attributed to military flares dropped during training exercises. However, many witnesses remained convinced that what they saw was not easily explained, leading to ongoing discussions about UFOs and extraterrestrial life.
