There has been, in my opinion, one of the very best videos ever taken of the Phoenix Lights, on Monday night. The reports will be all over the Internet soon, and when you see the film, you will know why.

Several witnesses reported the lights, which appear to be four objects flying in a loose formation, and ultimately blinking out one by one. One big difference this time around is that according to www.azcentral.com, officials from Luke Air Force Base stated that they did not have any aircraft in the sky Monday, and that the lights were not part of any Air Force activities.

Jeff Woolwine is a UFO hunter. He believes the Phoenix lights are alien ships that are drawn to the mountains in the Valley.

Woolwine points to petroglyphs while hiking on South Mountain. He says the ancient drawings are proof that people have been seeing lights in the sky for thousands of years. He says people back then made drawings like Valley residents use their camcorders today.

Less than a week after strange lights appeared in the skies over Northern Indiana and off the Jersey Coast, lights have returned to the skies over Phoenix. The lights were seen on Monday might (April 21, 2008) and are similar to the infamous display of bright objects in the night sky seen in March of 1997 over Phoenix, Arizona. Originally dubbed ‘The Phoenix Lights’ after they first appeared ten years ago, the lights have made several appearances since that time.

The Phoenix Lights were an unbelievable phenomenon that took place in March 13, 1997 and the event was witnessed by thousands of residents. There are photographs and video of the UFO sighting and to this day it is still one of the biggest UFO sightings in history and the most scrutinized. Many have argued that the lights that were filmed were nothing more than military flares dropped in the desert at the Goldwater Range southwest of Phoenix.

Arizona Republic reporter Anne Ryman, who lives in Deer Valley, reported seeing four lights in a square shape that eventually became a triangular shape. The lights were moving to the east and they disappeared one by one. She said the lights were visible for about 13 minutes at about 8 p.m..

Strange lights appeared above the Valley sky in formation on Monday night.

Witnesses said the lights formed a vertical line, then a diamond shape, followed by a u-shape.

Could the strange lights over Phoenix last night have been sky lanterns?

Sky lanterns are big balloon-looking things that have a flame at the bottom and slowly rise like a helium balloon. people use them for celebrations.

Late Tuesday, Phoenix TV station KNXV, ABC affiliate channel 15, is following up on a report that a resident of north Phoenix launched four helium balloons with flares attached.

According to the station's Web site, abc15.com, "ABC15's Jon DuPre talked to one north Phoenix man late Tuesday afternoon who said he watched his neighbor launch four helium balloons with flares attached to them right before the mysterious lights were spotted."

Air traffic controllers in the main tower of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport saw last night's bizarre spectacle of red lights flying across North Valley skies, but the Federal Aviation Administration won't let them talk to the media.

Ian Gregor, FAA regional spokesman, says the agency's policy won't allow controllers to comment even if they want to relate their experience.

Gregor confirmed that "several" air traffic controllers in the tower saw the staggered formation of mysterious lights moving in the sky, apparently over North Phoenix. He says he heard that second-hand, though -- the tower's manager told him about it.

We are The Skeptologists.

We're not willing to just accept stories of the paranormal or supernatural. We want proof. Each week, we'll take on a handful of wild claims -- from the Bermuda Triangle to Bigfoot sightings to haunted houses -- and apply accepted scientific practices and experiments to see if these ideas really hold up. Whether in the field or in the lab, we'll literally put these subjects to the test in the hopes that one day we may find something that can't be explained. Each episode will investigate one or more popular paranormal, supernatural, or other type of phenomena, in favor of evidence-based science.

Red colored lights that formed a square and then a triangle were seen floating over north Phoenix late Monday, a sight reminiscent of an unexplained 1997 sighting that has become part of the area's lore.

There was no immediate word where they came from.

Some jokester with flares, helium balloons and too much time on his hands has claimed responsibility for the four mysterious red lights that appeared in the Phoenix skies Monday.
I'm not surprised it was a hoax. If aliens are searching for intelligent life on Earth, Phoenix is the last place they would look.

According to the writer at Air Traffic Controllers Who Saw UFO Muzzled by FAA, although a number of air traffic controllers saw the Phoenix lights of this past Monday, they have to keep their mouth shut about it. Evidently, some of them spoke about the lights prematurely and "unofficially."
