D
uring the evening of March 13, 1997, thousands of Arizona residents witnessed a silent mile-wide, v-shaped formation of lights that seemed to be attached to something, slowly gliding overhead. The unexplained sightings garnered headline news, catching the attention of USA Today, EXTRA, national morning TV shows, and the Evening News with Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather.

O
ne Person, however, was not surprised by the appearance of the lights. Dr. Lynne Kitei was simply grateful that a phenomenon she'd been witnessing-and documenting- for months was being validated by the experience of thousands of people statewide. After the incident, Dr. Kitei preferred to stay in the background, anonymously feeding information and video clips to the many news organizations who wanted in on the story. Now Dr. Lynne comes forward with her own story and much more.

TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT...

Contrary to some misleading media reports, there were not two events during the historic AZ mass sighting of March 13, 1997, but anomalous unexplained mile wide objects and equidistant formations of lights traversing the entire state for many hours. There are credible reports from as early as 5 pm to as late as 2 am. But the bulk of curious calls to Phoenix 911 operators, Luke Air Force Base, TV News stations, etc. came during the 8 pm hour, when most people were outside looking up at the clear sky for a glimpse of the Halle Bopp comet and also viewed the mysterious phenomena, called the "Phoenix Lights".

The first official report of a mile wide triangle array of lights came in from a retired Paulden police officer at 8:20 pm, followed by hundreds of calls [about that same time] from Prescott and south, throughout the Phoenix area. The phenomena continued traveling down the state's most populated central corridor toward Tucson [about 9:20 pm] and then back to Phoenix [at approximately 9:40 pm] when the phenomena were witnessed and photographed [over a 30 to 40 minute span] hovering over Phoenix. Some call it a Grand Finale.

Not only were formations of the amber balls of light witnessed days before the mass sighting, but there are also reports that the orbs detached from the main object or craft, went out into the environment for a time and then re-docked with it during the Arizona event. In addition, there were witnesses who watched in awe as the gigantic, low, silent object glided slowly right over them, only to take off at a tremendous speed moments later.

Whether there was one object that could morph [and actually blink out when military jets scrambled towards it as it hovered over 7th Avenue and Indian School Roads in Phoenix at 8:20 pm] or a parade of several phenomena occurring simultaneously, we may never know. But one thing is certain...

THE PHOENIX LIGHTS WERE NOT FLARES!

(CNN November 9, 2007) -- In 1997, during my second term as governor of Arizona, I saw something that defied logic and challenged my reality. I witnessed a massive delta-shaped, craft silently navigate over Squaw Peak ... this dramatically large, very distinctive leading edge with some enormous lights was traveling through the Arizona sky. As a pilot and a former Air Force Officer, I can definitively say that this craft did not resemble any man-made object I'd ever seen. And it was certainly not high-altitude flares because flares don't fly in formation.

(Leslie Kean, "Symington confirms he saw UFO 10 years ago", The Daily Courier, March 18, 2007) -- It was enormous and inexplicable. Who knows where it came from? A lot of people saw it, and I saw it too. It was dramatic. And it couldn't have been flares because it was too symmetrical. It had a geometric outline, a constant shape. —Fife Symington III

Numerous witnesses throughout AZ tried to capture this advanced technology on film prior to 9:40 pm, but because the massive object was so large and blocked out the stars, the photos did not turn out, save a couple of grainy videos of the V shaped phenomenon with lights.

However, it must be mentioned that the military may have deployed flares to divert public attention away from the true unknowns. And even though a 10:30 pm flare deployment was reported by the Maryland ANG five months later [after a front page USA Today article brought international media pressure for an investigation and explanation], it is clear that flares were NOT what Dr. Lynne and others witnessed or photographed around 10 o'clock.

Please note that flares drift with the wind, cannot stay in a pattern, but descend in a haphazard fashion, glare and flicker frantically, have huge smoke trails and illuminate everything around them, including the smoke trail. None of these characteristics were witnessed by the thousands who viewed the true unknowns.

In other words, the giant arrays of rock solid and equidistant balls of light captured by a hand-full of videographers 'around 10 pm' [over a 30-40 minute span] were NOT flares. As one can see in the video evidence of Dr. Lynne, Michael Kryzten, Tom King and Bill Hamilton, those orbs of light ARE attached to something and representative of what thousands witnessed for hours statewide, [as well as in Nevada and New Mexico] before and after the half hour Grand Finale over Phoenix, around 10 pm. that evening. [ie. Triangle, V, boomerang and wedge/delta shaped formations of amber orbs - attached to a craft or with a force field in between each light].

Just as telling and confirmatory, Air Traffic Controllers at Sky Harbor International Airport verified to Dr. Lynne the next morning that the THREE HUGE EQUIDISTANT BALLS OF LIGHT that she captured on video at exactly 10 pm, "did not show up on radar, were attached to something, but through high powered binoculars they could not see exactly what they were attached to, and were IN RESTRICTED AIRSPACE". This was the same location that they also confirmed the same phenomena appeared two months prior to the statewide incident, when Dr. Lynne captured 6 photographs of the mile wide object head on and turning into a V. Many throughout the state would describe a mile wide formation of "5 lights with 2 trailing" during the mass sighting, exactly what Dr. Lynne's second photo of the similar January 23, 1997 event indicates.

U
FO buffs call it the most documented and important mass sighting ever recorded. But still today, the military and government can only offer questionable explanations as to what the anomalous lights truly were. In over 11 years, the strange phenomena have never been duplicated or re-enacted [although the military tried fruitlessly, three years later]. Many experts and witnesses insist that what appeared in the Arizona skies was something beyond this world.

What were they?
How did they affect the witnesses?
What do they mean?

THERE IS MUCH MORE TO THE STORY THAN MARCH 13, 1997!
