Also with regards to newer cases, this case has come to be very interesting indeed. The incident also has video from the Department of Homeland Security.

Oh ffs, that's not evidence.

came out with a 162 pg. analysis of the event and it is very technical.

That doesn't make it scientifically valid.

You can break it down as much as you desire.

Irrelevant with regards to whether or not he is telling the truth.

How is he not a historian?
How is he not a reliable source?

There is other evidence, did you not read what I presented? Also, I think you are confusing the word evidence with proof. What I am presenting is evidence to show the validity within Ufology, 100% proof is what ufology strives for and is the reason why more research needs to be done through official channels. This is why there is a huge push for disclosure and why many in ufology want official Congressional hearings

There is plenty of evidence to show that something is going on. If generals, astronauts, cosmonauts, intelligence agents, military personnel, scientists, aerospace engineers, FAA officials, pilots, government personnel and police officers around the world are testifying to the validity of the phenomenon, then I think it just might be a bit prudent to listen.

Right, evidence equates to evidence and I have given you some examples.

So do you have anything useful to contribute to this conversation?

Another useless comment.

Perhaps you would like to specifically address some the information I have presented?

The evidence suggests otherwise.

What I said before, but in less satirical terms for you: unidentified flying objects are not immediately aliens. It's most likely military ****e bro.

Anybody who has spent a tiny amount of time investigating this case is well aware that there were flares in the sky that night. Look deeper into the case, you will see that the flares were an entirely separate event.

Consider this:

Quote:

Symington also noted that he requested information from the commander of Luke Air Force Base, the general of the National Guard, and the head of the Arizona Department of Public Safety. But none of the officials he contacted had an answer for what had happened, and were also perplexed. Later, he responded to an Air Force explanation that the lights were flares: "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". In an episode of the television show UFO Hunters called "The Arizona Lights", Symington said that he contacted the military asking what the lights were. The response was "no comment". He pointed out that he was the governor of Arizona at the time, not just some ordinary civilian.

Frances Barwood, the 1997 Phoenix city councilwoman who launched an investigation into the event, said that of the over 700 witnesses she interviewed, "The government never interviewed even one".-Wikipedia/Phoenix Lights

Oh really?

Like I said in another post in this thread, everyone who has looked into the Phoenix lights case is fully aware of the flares. That is not what is being described by hundreds of witnesses including the Governor, who incidentally was a Captain in the Air Force and I am pretty sure has seen what a flare looks like.

No, the information and data within the report does. Did you read it?
