They don't WANT you to see. ;)

Here's a cruddy YouTube version of the video:

Video no longer available. I'm beginning to think you're right, Publius.

They don't WANT you to see. ;)I'm starting to regret reading this thread after seeing a strange man dressed in black outside my window.....

I've yet to read a single report where anyone is claiming these lights were U.F.O.s, yet it's being preemptively debunked as a hoax by "science": Live Science (http://www.livescience.com/strangenews/080423-bad-phoenix-lights.html?loc=interstitialskip)

By sheer coincidence, the "rational" explanation always turns out to be a lone prankster, a crazed gunman, just a handful of hijackers. Sounds great if you believe in coincidence theory.

The guy's neighbor saw him do it. The simplest explanation is usually the best.

Because everything in life is simple.

So an unidentified neighbor is quoted as seeing an unidentified prankster pull this prank? How convenient!

I'm kinda confused guys.... wouldn't helium balloon lifted road flares just floated away on the prevailing winds? These were flying in formation.

Hoax? Can someone link me to what is being said about these lights? I saw the video and it sure as hell didn't look like any hoax I've ever seen...

I'm not thinking the lights are UFO's... I mean, it's possible, I'm definitely not ruling out UFO because anyone who thinks we're alone in this universe is foolish... but I'm thinking they're probably some top-secret government aircraft.

Worked for me. Your browser might be blocking certain scripts needed for the video to play.

Bingo.

Or time travelers. :book:

If my calculations are correct... once this baby hits 88 miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious sh1t.

No, but simple things require fewer assumptions than complicated things. Occam's Razor.

No, the neighbor was IDENTIFIED. The prankster didn't want his name released, because HE is the one who is likely to get in trouble for the stunt (with the FAA for interfering with air traffic, if nothing else).

I've figured out what this was....a broken xbox 360 launched in the air pre-gta4's release...
