There have been many UFO sightings that have occurred around the world. However, out of all those sightings, only a few were witnessed by many people. Well, the UFO sighting phenomenon known as the Phoenix Lights that occurred in Arizona in 1997 is one of them. We have previously discussed several cases of alien or UFO sightings. However, usually in those cases, only one or a few people claimed to have seen it firsthand. Moreover, in some cases, there was no evidence at all to support it. This created doubt and skepticism among the public.

But did you know that in 1997, the inhabitants of Arizona, United States, were agitated by the sighting of strange lights in the night sky? The sighting was witnessed not only by ordinary people but also by journalists, police, military personnel, and even the Governor of Arizona at that time, Fife Symington (1991–1997). This spectacular sight has been well documented and has been the subject of debate for years.
