The local news stations are giving this story a good bit of air time and are not shrugging it off with lame jokes like they did 10 years ago, when the "famous" Phoenix lights first appeared. Everyone is quite baffled about what these lights could be. What has been confirmed is what they are not...they are not baloons, they are not parachutes,nor are they kites or flares. One video airing locally shows airplanes,probably military, flying towards these lights to investigate, although Luke Airforce base refuses to make a comment. Whatever these lights are remains to be seen....we'll probably never know, but they appear to be real and not a hoax. Too many ligitimate people have reported these sightings and all cannot be crackpots.

I heard this morning on a local news network that a valley man had tied road flares to balloons and set them free a minute apart from eachother. They didn't give an explination as to why he did it, but he appologized in the report.

Once again the government insults our intelligence
