This is a commercial, free archive edition of our live radio show that airs
every Friday at noon, Arizona time on openminds dot TV. Welcome to open
Minds Radio with your host Alejandro Rojas, former official spokesperson for the Mutual UFO
Network. Alejandro has been a UFO paranormal researcher and journalists for nearly a decade
and has logged hours in the field investigating the paranormal up close and personal,
and now Open Minds Radio presents evidence in the latest news regarding the UFO phenomenon.
Here's your host, Alejandro Rojas. Hello, and welcome to Open Minds
Radio, where we're bringing the UFO subject into the light of day. This
is Alejandro Rojas and we have another cool show today and this is our Phoenix
Flight special because tomorrow is the anniversary of the Phoenix Flight. And if you're
unaware of what that is is that was a mass sighting that happened in nineteen
ninety seven March thirteenth, where a lot of people out here in Phoenix,
Arizona, which happens to be where we're broadcasting from, saw this humongous object,
this giant V shaped chevron shaped black object with lights on it. It
coasted. There were sightings throughout the state, so an amazing mass sighting.
A few weeks ago, we had Francis Barwood on the show. She was
a city councilwoman at the time, and she talked about taking reports from hundreds
of witnesses. She said she personally talked to over seven hundred witnesses. I
thought, wow, that's a lot of people. But from being out here,
I'm realizing that there are a ton of people that saw this thing.
It's just like, and I should have known better, because you know,
when I used to be with this investigation group, we knew that when there
was a sighting and one person calls in, there's probably at least five other
people that saw it that didn't call. So that being the case with the
Phoenix lights, there could have been, you know, seven thousand people who
saw this out there. And I wouldn't be surprised because the more people I
talked to, the more witnesses I find they say, oh, yeah,
I saw that thing, you know back years ago that flew over that was
in the news and everything, So it's incredible. One of the witnesses was
Mike Fortson. He had this thing he was outside and he saw it with
his wife, So we're going to have him on to talk about this in
a bit. He's also going to talk about some of the other witnesses that
he's talked through that have seen it. Also a special guest, we're going
to have doctor Lynn Katai on the show. And she is a doctor who
saw the Phoenix sights and recorded them and she was so inspired. She actually
kept secret about it for a while, didn't want people to think she was
nuts, but she was so inspired about it that she created an excellent DIT
documentary that she's going to be showing at the Shay Harkins Theater on the fourteenth,
and we're going to have her talking more about that, but talking about
all these witnesses we had. You know, I was getting my haircut the
other day even and this girl said, oh, UFOs, you know,
my dad's really into it, and we all saw those UFOs that went over
Phoenix And I asked her what she meant, and she was talking to Phoenix
light. She said she was watching it calling all of her friends. Her
friends were going outside. They were all excited and freaking out over seeing this
thing over the city. So they were amazed. And there are two Open
Minds employees who are from the area who saw it also, including our news
correspondent Jason McClellan. And before we get into the news, I want Jason
to share his siding with us. Jason, I'd be happy to share with
you a brief recap over at what I remember. It's interesting because you know,
this was thirteen years ago, but I still we'll have a really clear
memory of that night and what happened. You know, I grew up in
the middle of the desert. Nothing was around for Miles, and so we
always not always, but you know, regularly we just stayed outside or sat
on the roof of the house and just watched the night sky because the stars
were incredible. You could see everything for Miles. And I remember on that
night seeing the lights up in the sky. And when I saw the lights,
they weren't necessarily in a delta pattern or a triangle or a boomerang shape.
It was more like a I guess, like a Sideway's frownie face.
But they were just white lights, many of them. And I can't remember
how many I saw at the time. I mean, they were at least
six, but they were very bright, very visible, and they just stayed
there. They didn't move at all. They were just there in the sky.
And during this time, you lived by Luke Air Force Base, so
you knew what eight hens look like and how they sound. Absolutely, they
were always flying eight tens and other military craft were always flying right over our
house from Luke Air Force Base going out to the Barium Goldwater Range where they
drop bombs and shoot guns and do target practice out there. So they were
always low altitude planes right over our house. So we saw military plans all
the time. So this but this wasn't military, not at all. And
you know, one of the common statements about the Phoenix flights explanations for the
Phoenix flights is they were flares. And also growing up where I did,
I frequently saw the atens dropping their flares, so I knew what the flares
looked like. And this was completely different. Wow, that's amazing. So
what we're gonna do is talk about the Phoenix fights a little more. But
since we've got you here, Jason, why don't we get right into the
UFO news headlines of the week. That sounds good, Hello Phoenix and hello
world. Let's review the news from the week. A date has been said
for judicial review at the High Court in London or UK hacker Gary McKinnon on
May fifth and twenty sixth. The court will review the government's decision to allow
McKinnon's extradition to the US, where he is wanted on charges of hacking into
military and NASA computers. Prosecutors claim mckennon's actions caused eight hundred thousand dollars worth
of damage. McKinnon denies causing any damage, however, and insists he only
access files in his search for evidence of UFO cover ups. McKinnon suffers from
Asperger syndrome, and his legal team is using that as an argument against his
extradition to the US. His mother worries that her son would commit suicide if
he's put on a plane to the US. Yeah, kind of bittersweet for
UFO research, because nobody wants to see this guy. I mean, I
think, you know, leave him where he is. You know why extra
died him. It's not like he was, you know, looking to share
secrets with enemies. He's looking for UFO stuff. But if they do bring
him here, which it does seem like they will, there'll probably be a
whole lot of news on what he discovered. Why is into UFOs and we'll
have another reason for UFOs to be in the mass media again. And this
case has been in the news a lot, you know, it's been dragging
on for a while now. It'll be interesting to see what happens in US
news. Cleveland, Ohio's Fox Channel eight reported earlier this week on a series
of UFO sightings in Euclid, Ohio. Eugene Erlik, a local residents,
spotted and photographed lights in the sky outside his house over a span of six
nights. He described the lights as pulsating and changing colors from red to yellow,
to green to blue. Others witnessed the UFO as well, but the
object or objects remain a mystery. Yeah, interesting, night after night after
night. If you're living in Ohio, you know, go to our site,
open mind to that TV, let us know if you're seeing these things.
And the UFO and Euclid, Ohio wasn't the only mysterious objects observed this
week. There are regularly multiple sightings all over the country, but just a
couple of the ones reported by major media this week. We're sightings reported in
New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, Eureka, California, Manasseee, Michigan, and NBC
New York reported even more sightings in Brooklyn. It seems like the past several
weeks there have been lots and lots of sidings in Brooklyn. And just like
with the Phoenix sites, what's amazing is for everybody that reports something, there's
a lot of people that aren't reporting. Yeah, so report, that's right.
You know, we have our website and there are other websites out there
for reporting. And there are a lot of sightings every single day all around
the country and the world. Some strange stuff going on out there. That
is all from the news today. I am Jason McClellan, your Open Minds
News correspondent. Back to you, Alejandro. All right, thanks Jason.
Remember you can read all of this news at open Minds dot tv on our
front page. And also Jason did write about his experience, and he did
write some more about Francis bar Would and five Simington related to the Phoenix sights
because the governor at the time made fun of the whole thing and then eventually
came out and said, you know what, I saw it, and I
was an Air Force pilot and those things are not from this planet. That
was an extraterrestrial craft. So that's what Governor five Simington is saying. Lynn
Ketias added that to her new revised documentary that she will be showing us in
a couple of days. So we'll be talking more about her documentary and more
about the Phoenix Sights when we get back. You're listening to Open Minds Radio
with Alejandra Rojas on KFNX News Talk Radio eleven hundred. All right, welcome
back. This is Open Mine's Radio and you are listening to your host,
Alejandro Rujas. And if you want to call in a little later, remember
you can call in at one eight sixty six five three six eleven hundred.
That is the for anybody out there, and then if you're in the Phoenix
metro area you can call six oh two two seven seven five three six nine.
So if you're dying to give us a call, you know, please
do so and ask some questions. Now, Mike, if you're out there,
give us a call too. We haven't heard from mister Fortson yet,
but luckily we have doctor Linkadai on the phone. Hello, Lynn, Hi,
how are you? Thanks for having me on and letting people know about
our wonderful thirteenth anniversary. I can't believe it's thirteen years already, right,
you know. And it's great to have you on because I knew five minutes
was probably going to be really difficult to get you in and talk about everything
you wanted to talk about. So it's great maybe if you could share your
sighting and how that that had started. Actually, sighting for both myself and
my husband, who had no interest or knowledge in this topic at all,
started for us two years prior to the mass sighting, and they were very
close about a block away city block away, a little below us because we're
high in the mountains in Paradise Valley, and I happened to get pictures of
them. Didn't have any idea why this advanced technology would be hovering above a
private, gated mountainside residence, but nonetheless I did get pictures and looked to
the sky. We have a panoramic view of the city skyline, and we
know what plans look like in helicopters and street lights and so forth. Jess
Jason was saying he was near Loops, so he's very samiliar with with flares,
and we were two. But anyway, these were orbs. These were
rock solid information. They were orbs. The light did not extend outside the
edge. I always go back to this ninety five sighting for many reasons.
But you know when you see something up close personal like that, and it's
so incredibly extraordinary, I mean just awesome and unusual and unearthly, as the
former governor would Symington would also in part, it stays with you forever.
And I really took a mental note of these objects or phenomena. They were
about three to six feet each. They were oval shape actually, and you
have pictures on your website. I do lights dot Nat. Thank you for
mentioning that if somebody wants to get on the on the site. I've had
them up there since two thousand and four. But there's a and that was
one of the reasons I had to come forward, Alexandra, because I continued
to photograph these unexplained global phenomena up until including the mass sighting that when I
got the three points of light over the city and by the way, where
we're doing, there's some new information that's going to be coming out shortly.
I won't evolve it yet till it's all together, but that is around hennega,
is that in your documentary the new information? Yes, well not yet,
not yet, okay, not that we have new information accidentally, new
sightings and new uh interviews and so forth, and new data. And we're
also on Sunday. Uh. Not only were we presenting the documentary, but
we all have a Q and A and a book printing. My new book
just came out. A lot has happened since I came forward right and forth.
Well, you said that you had when you saw these things, you
thought they were in advanced technology. What made you believe that? Because it
was so incredibly unusual. I mean, here were orbs hovering above a private
desert, I mean dangerous terrain underneath. There was no one creating them.
Uh, they were just there, and they were in a pyramid formation.
We're on top and too closely aligned underneath. And as I tried to take
everything in mentally, that that mental moment that we have what maybe even once
in a lifetime, I really wanted to note everything. The color within each
orb was very different than anything I'd ever seen. It was an amber color
uniform throughout, and it didn't glare at all. It was very mesmerizing,
very soothing. Every other light out there glared and as I'm watching these things
just hovering there and you could see there were three distinct objects. It was
just absurd. I said, if I don't get a picture of this,
nobody's gonna believe it. And I ran to the closet to grab it.
One of my my husband calls me back. He says, one of them
is disappearing. It over here quick, and this is this is really what
actually changed my life because we stood there and watched the top orb without budging.
And the only thing that I can you know, at the time when
this was happening, it was fading very very slowly from view, and I
was just trying to gather all my thoughts what could this possibly be? And
you know, the only movies we had ever seen, because neither of us
was interested. We knew nothing about this topic was et and close encounters.
And our children now they's grown men. But at the time periodicity, we
would watch Star Trek because of the wonderful messages and you know, the romulin
cloaking device when it comes to savers before a close kind of like that movie
Predator. It kind of looked like the heat kind of mirage type of effect.
Yeah, but it kind of wavered. If you ever see that again,
you'll see what I mean. But I really noted that it didn't move,
it didn't budge, but it seemed like it was cloaking. It seemed
that after it disappeared, it was still there even though we didn't see it
anymore. Now, these three separate lights, you felt that they were three
separate objects and not together on one right. That's that's how it felt.
I mean, I can't say for sure, but that's how certainly the pictures
would indicate that. Anyway, I got onto the balcony, shot a quick
picture of the two bottom orbs, which is posted on the website the Phoenix
Lights dot net, and immediately noticed in eerie silence, as if the time
had stopped. It was just bizarre, and I have to say a hundro.
I did not share with anyone until after the mass sighting, when I
first met with Jim Delatoso. He was the first person that I shared this
with. As I was looking at these two bottom orbs, it actually felt
that an intelligent presence was watching me and I wow, in my mind was
who are you? What are you? Do you know that I'm here?
I'd love to meet you. And the next thing, I remember, the
left bottom orb disappeared and I quickly shot a picture of that. That was
the only picture that turned out at the time. But for me, it
was so confirmatory that we saw something unusual. It really happened. I happened
to catch a picture with one half disappeared as it was happening. But you
want to know something was really poignant when we went back a year after the
mass sighting, and sure we study these pictures, Well, there's a lot
more to the story. With me, I don't think we have time to
get into. And I'm sharing that for the first time in the book concerning
some really I mean talk about bizarre findings that doctor Bruce mcabee discovered when he
looked at my pictures. But what's really amazing if you look at the pictures
on the web, so you can see right there the same line formation of
lights of orbs in the distance that I would capture in the same location two
months before the mass sighting, when I caught six pictures of the phenomena head
on turning into a V shape, confirmed the next morning by air traffic controllers
at Sky Harbor International airport. What I called around because it was so unnerving
and huge. So you called the airport after your sighting prior to the one
that happened at the ninety five sighting, I didn't even know who showed the
picture too. Well, this was in ninety seven, however, prior from
the big mass sighting, right two months before the mass siding. And what
did the airport tell you? Actually, they they were amazed that I saw
them in the distance. They were very alarmed because these things happened to show
up and class the airspace. There's a thirty mile radius around the center of
the airport where any aircraft, any aircraft, anybody in that area has to
call into the tower. Nobody called in, so they looked at the at
the radar. Did not show up on the radar. They took their high
powered binoculars to look and in their own words, they described them as six
points of light that were totally equidistant from each other, massive span over a
mile wide that actually started to turn. So my pictures indicate we saw the
same thing at the same time, because I got this thing head on turning
into a video. Well, that's pretty incredible that they would admit that to
you because they were excited. Yeah, typically everybody, you know, they
shut down, they don't talk about it. I mean I got them like
the next morning and they were buzzing about it, let me tell you.
But anyway, the and they did, they did stop talking after a while.
So how did it build? Then? When the mass sighting happened in
March? Did it feel validating for you? Because finally everybody seeing what you've
been videotaping and taking pictures of ullly Ale Handra. I have to tell you
once you know that night for me, it was like an ordinary night.
I saw about eight twenty I saw one loan light far west or in the
west. And at that time, by the way, is when the call
came in from the retired operator from a police officer from Paulson, Arizona.
So that computes. Plus, there was a recording, a recording from the
UFO Reporting Center that a crewman and we have that both in the book and
the recording itself in the documentary. A crewman from the Air Force Space called
the UFO Reporting Center, Peter Davenport A reported in great detail that actually the
object, or one of the objects, because there were many things that were
happening that night. By the way, that we also have on our website
the GAP program to show everybody the multiple crafts that were throughout the state.
But anyway, this crewman said that there was one of these mile wise objects
hovering right over Seventh Avenue, and Indian School military jets were set out after
it to whether intercept or get Guncimera film and we have witnesses that saw this,
actually saw the jets with the after burners on. As they got close,
the object blinked out, and the crewman actually said that he was one
of the people to carry one of the populots out of his own craft because
I was so shaken off by it. So there were a lot of things
happening. So that was eight twenty so I did see an orb like I
had been seeing, and in my pictures they're consistent. It's an unbelievable they're
consistently showing up where a South Mountain and the Austraya Mountain range entered. And
about an hour later, on March thirteenth, I see one lone light a
little after nine o'clock. Now it's far south now that compused because that's when
people were reporting that they were seeing these objects down in near Tucson, and
about ten o'clock, all of a sudden, the same formation in the same
location that I caught in ninety five with the closed sighting, and two months
before the mass sighting popped up again and I ran outside, and so in
other words, this thing's been around for a while. I ran outside and
I happened to catch the sweet points of light, like the end points of
a giant v or a triangle. And for me it was like another night.
But this is how close I was. I have to tell you all,
Hydra. The week before I had started showing the video, which doesn't
do it justice. Okay, the video does not do it right. It's
hard to capture that stuff. Yeah, they're smaller, they flicker, they're
white in the in the video, although some people did see white and some
people did see amber. Well, let's talk about that in a minute.
We do have to go to break, so we'll talk about this seting.
We'll also talk more about your documentary What inspired You? And it really is
the best documentary that captures what happened on March thirteenth, nineteen ninety seven,
So you're gonna have to come check it. Out with us at the heart
and see if possible. So stay tuned. You're listening to Open Minds Radio
with KMF and X. This is Open Minds Radio here again your host UFO
paranormal researcher and journalist Alejandro Rojas. Welcome back. We are here with doctor
Linktai talking about the Phoenix Lights. Remember, you can go to Openminds dot
tv to get more information on all of what we're talking about here. You
can also go to the radio tab, remember, and watch us live on
our video stream. So actually there's a couple second delay, but we're pretty
live there on the video stream. That's a lot of fun. There's also
a chat there where you can talk to us and ask some questions, so
that's a lot of fun. And we also inform you to all the links
and everything we talk about, such as doctor linkti'slink on the Phoenix Lights dot
net where she's got more information about what she saw in her documentary and her
book which we are now speaking about. So, Linda, you were talking
about before we went to break the March thirteenth siding and at about ten pm,
you had seen kind of what looked like the tip of a craft,
right like the three lights, the three n lights of a giant Z the
information and and I have to urge people if they're if they're interested, to
take a look at the website because there is such a plethora of information that
we've posted on there as all free and that you can really delve into,
not only the GAP program, which is Geospatial Animation Project twelve years of compilation
from the UFO Reporting Center reports as well as Village Labs, Michael Tanners,
Bill Hamilton, UH, the former councilwoman Francis Barwood reports, as well as
Arizona Move On. Really a team effort. Larry Low took the reports and
actually now with the technology that we have with Google Earth and so forth,
he has formulated a number of uh the different crafts that people saw. Now,
whether it was one craft that could morph into uh looking like different crafts,
or it was a different craft, the parade of different craft or the
perspective from in the person's angle, we may never know. But nonetheless there
there is about eight or nine different kinds of depictions that people can take a
peek out that were reported statewide. But at any rate, there's a lot
more on the website as well as the photo page, and and again one
of the interesting things about that which we can get to remind me is the
fact of where the lights are in the distance that I've always documented, there
are in between, uh where South Mountain and the Austraya Mountains intersect. And
I as well tell you that if you'd like, which is which is kind
of an interesting anecdote. I have come not to believe in coincidence. I
have to tell you. For thirty years I've been doing community education on health
issues and have a company that produces video workbook curriculums on vital health issues.
That's why I felt compelled to do the same for for this vital issue.
But nonetheless, and were referring to Pardoney, how you were referring to some
sorry, quintin intant happened? Oh yeah, this is this is a coincident.
About six before the mass sighting, I was invited to present myselfstance abuse
prevention education program at their one school at the Heel of Bend Indian Reservation,
which is sacred ground in the basin in between South Mountain and the Estraya Mountain
range. And that's where these phenomena seem to be popping up. If you
just look at my pictures, the data speaks for itself. And I gave
them a call after the mass sighting because we got a little friendly and they
were open to share with me. And I said, you know what,
these lights seemed to be showing up near where the reservation is. Did anybody
happen to see strange lights on March thirteenth? And they started to laugh,
and I said, is that funny? And they said, are you kidding?
We've been looking up at them for centuries. We call them sky people
really wow, part of their culture. I had no idea. And it's
not only the heel of the Indian Reservation that has seen these things for centuries.
And they called the estrays gateway to the stars, astray and being the
stars by us, right mm hmm. But that's amazing, because you know,
I've worked with a lot of different Native American groups and you know they
are very often open to this subject. They you know, they've been watching
these things for a long time. Skie people. They refer to them as
star people exactly. And they called them in they actually I just learned that
Opie have shared with some people that they had protocols to invite these phenomenons.
They many of them believed their spirital world that they're coming to give them guidance
and comfort and inspire them. I mean, we really should learn some lessons
from from the from the native culture, right well, speaking of inspiration,
Uh, you know the documentary. So you had your sightings over a period
of time, you were kind of you didn't want to get into there and
go public with it for a while. Then all of a sudden you decide
to create a documentary. How did you get there? Well, it didn't
happen by actually one thousands of people had seen what I had been seeing.
That really took me back. And it was until and this is another coincidence.
I was starting to mention before the break that I mean, this is
how close I was a andro Once I started showing the video. Even though
they're white and they flicker and they don't look like the real deal, which
are giant balls of spinning energy, the in formations themselves are very compelling.
So I started to show them to my friends, and here is how close
I was to the topic. A friend of a friend had a neighbor who
had a friend who knew the past president of Moufon, so I called him
up. I told him I had you know I was seeing these orbs.
Now he had not heard about it, but there were people that not only
witnessed them days before like I was doing, but also it took video of
them. And the video is quite striking. I mean you can see these
are balls of spinning energy. At any rate, he hooks me up with
a field investigator from Mofon for the following Wednesday. He cancels who or postpones
because the then state director wanted to be at our meeting and his mom had
passed Saturday, and the only window of opportunity I had for the next two
three weeks was Friday morning at ten o'clock. Fine, he says, well,
I come walking with video in hand from the night before, which I
had no idea other people had seen it too. And the first thing he
says to me is that you see the mass sighting last night? And I
said, well, I saw something very similar in the same location. In
fact, I had already communicated with the air traffic controllers again and they verified
they saw the same thing at the same time. Again, it was in
Class B airspace, same phenomena. And he said no, no, no,
hundreds, if not thousands of people saw this mile to two mile wide
formation of lights or crafts and totally silent and very low altitude. And some
people did see a take off at a tremendous speed, by the way,
and others actually saw the orbs detached from the main object to go out into
the environment and then redock with it. Maybe that's happened to us in ninety
five, but at any rate, that blew me away. And I said,
WHOA. I said, he was telling me that NBC was going to
be there in a few minutes to interview him, and I had done health
reporting in their early eighties for NBC and they might recognize me. Plus the
fact, I said, you know what, this is not about me.
This is about the data, and as an educator, I would love people
to see what we saw. So I gave him a copy of the video.
I said, share it with whoever you please, and by that the
first news at four point thirty the next that afternoon, actually the day after
the mass sighting, my video was plaster through on every news. It was
really exciting, to tell you, yeah, because now people not only was
I finding out that thousands of people saw what I had seen. But now
people were getting a chance elsewhere to see what was video here, and by
the evening news a couple of other videos turned out and if you looked at
at Tom King's arrowhead video, it is striking. I mean those lights are
either attached to something or there's a field in between. As the air traffic
controllers would would say, the data speaks for itself. And then of course
my Kristen boomerang shaped footage came later, and there was another footage as well,
Chuck Reardon's footage that it's a little iffy. It looks like a boomerang,
but it's a little haphazard, so we're not sure about that one.
But at any rate, the bottom line is that other people, a handful
of people did get video, and then we were a lot of other people
by the way. For people to say, well, why didn't people get
pictures, Well, in those days we really didn't have the cell phones with
kind of yeah cell phone video that people can dude, right, And people
did try to take pictures of this mile wide object and it was so dark
and blocked out. Yeah, taking pictures of lights in the sky and behind
the stars is very difficult, we turn out, so so we were very
fortunate that at least we did get something from that. And then you know,
a week later, I see my video on TV. They're interviewing a
gentleman who is right out in Tempe. I had no idea, Jim Delatoso,
who not only was working with Village Labs, which was a computer lab,
but also right so he was able to do some analysis. We had
him on the show and talked a bit about his analysis, which is really
interesting. Absolutely absolutely, but he was He also does, like you said,
analysis for UFO, citing from around the world. This is the first
I heard of it, so I know he did some analysis on the flare
theory and I want to ask you about that. After the break, we'll
talk about these flares and then we're going to have to move on to some
other things, but we'll be right back. We're talking to doctor link Katayan
Open Minds Radio on Campinet. Welcome back to open Minds Radio here now former
official spokesperson for the Mutual UFO Network, your host of Open Minds Radio,
Alejandro Rojas, former spokesperson to move on but doing much cooler stuff now it's
Openminds dot TV. So it's a lot of fun, like getting to move
out here to Phoenix and be part of this whole experience. And it's amazing
to hear of all these witnesses like you talked about others going oh yeah,
we see that all the time. But I wanted to ask you real quick.
We're out of time here. But there is controversy. Some people said
that there were flares dropped later in the night on March thirteenth, but I
know Jim's work showed that they weren't flares. Where do you fit on that?
Actually, you know, it's really interesting. I have no doubt because
we know they just were sent off to intercept this thing earlier that night at
eight twenty that the military was well aware that things were going on, and
you know, if they were sending off flares to the verk, people's attention
away, that is very reasonable. But that's not what we saw. Okay,
that's right. I can say that is not what we saw. And
I have to say, did you know that there was a sighting one month
before mass sighting one month before hours in Saint Petersburg, Russia on February nineteenth,
nineteen ninety seven, and a couple of people got video and actually one
of the crafts that Larry Lowe illustrated in our Gap Program Geospatial Animation project on
our website, the Phoenix Sights dot net is identical to the round that somebody
got and we're actually using that craft on our new documentary that's coming out new
version. The Vanguard International Cinema is releasing The Phoenix Lights Beyond Top Secret on
March thirtieth, and we're using that craft actually on the front cover. But
any rate, you know, when they did not come out with the flair
theory until five months after the mass sighting, there was no investigation, no
explanation at all, and it was very bizarre that, you know, we
act a lot of THEFO researchers who even you know, they believe this was
a mass sighting of something strange to refer to those refer to flares and a
well, actually not until a USA Today article came out on June eighteenth and
opened our sighting up the internet national scrutiny. And yes, people refer to
flares all the time. Flares can cannot keep reformation. I mean, let's
be real, Let's look at the data they drift and drop with the wind.
They have huge smoke trails that are illuminated by the flare itself. That's
what they're meant to do. They're military illumination flares and they're supposed to illuminate
the area around it. Not one person reported Yeah, and Jim's should work
also because Jim, you know, looked at that video and it doesn't show
as the smoke trails. Now, really quick, sure, let's talk about
your event that you're showing of your documentary this weekend. Okay, appreciate that.
But there's a lot more to this story, especially with the Flair thing,
because it wasn't until a month after the USA Today eraical came out that
suddenly they hadn't looked at the log for visiting their National Guard for five months,
and that was the explanation of what some people might have seen. And
there's a lot more to the story. I hope people read it in the
book and come to the documentary on Sunday as well, because again, there
is much more to the story. What time in I've been a wonderful thirteenth
anniversary celebration on Sunday at the Hark and Shay fourteenth Theater at Scottsdale and shay
Rhads. We have a one o'clock show and at four o'clock show. We're
also going to have a Q and A after the performance or anybody that wants
to stay as well as we're introducing a special mystery guest this year, who
I know the audience will really appreciate. So much has happened since the Mass
of Slighting, and this is one more confirmation that whatever happened here and whoever
did this really touched lives very deeply here, all right, and I know
this is all in your documentary, So I'm excited. We'll have open minds
people there too, both of the viewings. If you want to come meet
me. I'm going to go to the one o'clock show. Really excited about
that. So thank you for being on the show. It was great to
have you and have you on for longer so we could get into more detail.

Phoenixlikes dot net to read more. So thanks for being on the show.

on in the Phoenix metro area, Virginia. Are you on the line.
Yes, I am Alex. Hi. Hello, good. How are you
doing well? So why don't you share the event that you all are hosting
here? Soon? On April tenth, we are having an event called Embracing
Contact, the Phoenix Rising Conference, and it's an event that is about no
more convincing regarding extraterrestrials. Extraterrestrials are here, they walk among us, they
play with us, they talk to us, they walk with us, and
we just want to have a conference where our speakers will have this open and
free dialogue regarding no convincing. And the conference is also about reconnecting with our
extraterrestrial origins. So essentially, yeah, you guys are beyond talking about sightings.
You believe you know that, yes, okay, you know that there
are UFOs and they're being driven by extra treasturial So what about these extra treastrills?
You want to learn more about them and talk specifically on that subject.
Well right, well, actually every speaker there is an experiencer. You know.
Mike Fordson March thirteenth, nineteen ninety seven walked out at eight point thirty
and saw the massive mile and a half long ship right went right in front
of him and his wife's He's had many more encounters since. And then we
have doctor Rebecca Hardcastle, who is an experiencer again, who's also coined the
phrase exo consciousness, which is basically an expert look at the extraterrestrial origins,
dimensions, and abilities of the human consciousness. It's an interconnection. We're connected
to the stars. Barbara Lamb, she is the regression therapist crop Circle researcher
and has written a book called Alien Experiences, and she documents her clients' stories
the messages that they have gotten through the regression sessions through different extraterrestrial races.
And then we have Philip Krafts, the LA Times editor, retired atheists,
didn't believe in any of this, and was invited on a spacecraft by a
group of extraterrestrial race or extraterrestrial race called the Verdants. Now you know the
last time Philip was on their craft with September eleventh, two thousand and one.
Interesting. Yes, very interesting. And they've given messages to Philip up
regarding meetings in the Southwest, so they they're getting us ready. Yeah,
it sounds like a really interesting conference. Now where can people go to find
out more about it and to register? Oh, they can go to the
website www. Rising as one dot com right dot com. Right, And
it's April tenth, April tenth, from nine to six at the Scottdale Cottonwoods
Resource Perfect. Well, thank you very much, thanks for coming on Rising
is One. It sounds like a really interesting conference. So and I know
we're going to come there and have a table to say hi to people and
help support the effort as well. So good job on getting this together.
Oh, thank you, And we're excited. We're excited for everybody to be
a part of this. It's exciting too because there's a lot going on in
Phoenix, so it's really cool to have so much in this area. We
had a lot going on in Colorado, but not what is probably the biggest
mass UFO siding in US history, where I'm just getting to know that what
I knew about the Phoenix Lights. Before only was the tip of the iceberg
regarding all of the witnesses. So it's really an incredible thing. It's great
to talk to more people, and I can't wait to talk to more witnesses
and see some of the new stuff in this new documentary that doctor Lincoln Tai
has. Right, she's done a fantastic job, and we'll take it even
further with the embracing contact. The Phoenix Rising Conference is saying they're here,
they're walking among us. Yeah, now how do we embrace them and work
together? All right? Thank you, Virginia, thank you. Now,
next week on the show, we have Antonio Juneos and he is the one
of the writers for the magazine for Open Minds. He's a great researcher.
He's been writing about UFOs for over thirty years. His articles have appeared in
dozens of publications around the world. He also co authored the Lawrence Rockefeller funded
UFO briefing document The Best Evidence. And what we're going to be talking about
is our brand new magazine that's going to be hitting news stands on the twenty
third. It's an awesome magazine and we'll talk about some of that. We're
also going to Mexico. So next week you will not be able to see
the cool live streaming video because we're going to be a Mexico, but we
will still be live on the air here and we'll be talking to Antonio who's
going to be speaking in Mexico about his talk out there. He's going to
be talking about the Vatican and their involvement with extraterrestrials and they've actually gotten a
lot going on lately in that arena. And we'll also talk about some Aztec
omens. He's written a story that's going to be in our second magazine about
Aztec omens and how similar a lot of these things that happened before the Spaniards
came. You know, these pictures and everything are to UFO siting. So
that's gonna be a lot of fun. I'm excited to have Antonio on.
