The Phoenix Lights

This is one of the best documentaries ever produced on the subject. And they finally take it to the next level, meaning that they are compelling us to consider the real implications of contact with intelligent life from another world, and encouraging us to consider our place in the cosmos, and the fact that we are part of a larger community. Everyone should watch this and regain a sense of awe and wonder at the incredible potential awaiting us. We must grow up as a race and turn our gaze outward AND inward.

The March 13, 1997, Phoenix lights event plus a couple similar sightings are relentlessly trumpeted as an extra-terrestrial visitation. Unfortunately, other than the word of eyewitnesses that they saw something in the sky, there is zero evidence to support such a fantastic claim as visitors from outer space. This would have made a superior segment on The History Channel's "U.F.O. Hunters", but is not acceptable as a feature, simply because there is not enough material. The interviews especially wear thin, becoming more and more redundant. "The Phoenix Lights" will probably leave most viewers thinking less would have been best. - MERK

For those interested in the details and data surrounding the most documented and important mass UFO incident in modern history, this intriguing and well produced film is for you. It also presents an expansive overview of a controversial & enigmatic topic, filled with authenticated photographic evidence, as well as credible testimonials from Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, pilots, military and first-hand witnesses, including former AZ Governor Fife Symington, who confirm the reality that advanced, anomalous & "Unearthly" aerial phenomena (silent mile wide V shaped objects with equidistant lights) traversed at low altitude throughout Arizona on March 13, 1997 and have been reported for centuries worldwide. To date, the event has never been explained or re-enacted. Enlightening and educational film for the entire family.

I welcomed the omission of buffoon debunkers & was impressed with the honest details by the experiencers themselves. While focusing on the inexplicable AZ mass sighting of 1997, this film also includes the history & scientific analysis of the data, which has been missing in most films of this genre. Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, a military/Vietnam/Commercial pilot, PhD optical experts & others of note confirm these century old global events, yet with photo & first-hand witness testimony verifying mile wide advanced technological vehicles appearing silently right over their heads, others would either ignore, continue to dismiss & even bash the credible documentation that something cryptic is going on for which there is no explanation - 26 yrs. Later - as well as berate this courageous attempt to educate the public. Definitely worth checking out.

A documentary provides more than a one sided perspective. This film does not. Poor direction and too much of the same ole same ole. The redundancy made this film less compelling. What a shame.

In the trivia section here, I read it received best documentary and best director awards- from WHO? The Girl Scout? Anyone can give awards- just like little leaguers. Maybe that comment was written by the directors, who knows!

That being said, I can't imagine we are the only beings in the universe. I don't know what everyone saw, but over 10,000 people did see something. I do agree that we need to be more open minded and stop fighting with each other. Z3
