Now that a former arizona governer claims the phoenix lights were ufos, what do you think?

Question

I just want to say Im not a believer, rather agnostic. Certainly there's ETs out thete, but can they travel here?

Answer 1

If we don't know what they are, they're UFOs. I haven't heard what they might actually be. Obviously they're not ETs though.

Answer 2

It should give people a good idea of how reliable the former this or that is when used to support some silly belief. The military told us years ago that they were flares, on parachutres, dropped by planes on a training mission. And that's exactly what they looked like.

Edit: Jimmy Carter once claimed he saw a UFO and it turned out to be Venus. Ronald Reagan used to believe in astrology. Bill Clinton lied to a congerssional committee. Richard Nixon authorized a major cover-up of Watergate.

Answer 3

whats up Felon - it is real! The flares are very risky to fool around with as quickly as they have been loaded into the launcher. The Air tension takes comments of UFOs heavily. think of roughly it - between the roles of the AF is intercepting and figuring out UFOs as area of protecting the continental U.S. ! And, the reality of the problem IS that maximum UFOs are particularly seen and not the figment of people's mind's eye or hoaxes yet, they are explainable by using the two plane tests or organic phenomena. i replaced into in contact, in an extremely small way, with undertaking Blue e book, the Air tension's call for recording comments of UFOs lower back interior the Nineteen Seventies.

Your question seems to imply that the man's prior political standing should automatically elevate his level of credibility. Alas, nothing could be further from the truth...

He's merely another eye-witness who's visual accounts and conclusions should be scrutinized without an overriding bias related to past employment.

Admittedly, however, it is somewhat interesting that he'd risk damaging his reputation and future political prospects by making an assertion which is likely to subject him to ridicule. This almost certainly invites speculation about his underlying motives...what benefit does he derive here? Is he planning on publishing a book?

Sounds like he genuinely believes what he says. But until I've seen something similar with my own eyes, his revelation doesn't undermine my inherent skepticism. I do concede that there's been a history of unusual, unexplainable arial phenomena...but that doesn't automatically validate the Phoenix lights - even WITH the ex-Governor's strong stance on the matter.

Answer 5

Big deal. Of course everyone knew that they were UFO's as soon as they were seen. But later on they were identified as flares dropped from military airplanes during maneuvers.

Answer 6

I don't know of any politician who happens to be an expert on anything except lying, taking bribes and raising taxes. To assume that someones involvement in politics makes them a reliable eyewitness is ludicrous at best.

Answer 7

They were parachute flares dropped by military aircraft during exercises. You can see each flare disappear as it drops behind a line of distant mountains, each flare blinking out in accordance with the jagged outline of the mountains.

Answer 8

Impeach the mentally deranged jerk!

Then, once he's out of office,
we shall take over Arizona,
and then your pitiful planet!

Oh, no!
Did I give away our plans too soon???

Answer 9

I am not even sure there was even a governour or an Arizona to begin with. In fact..Ive never heard such a thing.


......Where the hell am I??

Answer 10

I live in Arizona... The people in Phoenix don't believe they were lights... Why should he???
