I started watching Night Skies and it turned me into researching the Phoenix Lights event. I saw some drawings of the lights people saw, in a V shape, and I froze. Because I realized that, in one of the scariest moments of my life as a kid, I saw it, too.
I was seven or eight years old when I was in my backyard at night... it was probably about 6:30 PM and getting dark out. I was standing in the grass facing the back of the house when all of a sudden a GIANT series of lights in a V shape came flying directly over my house. At the time it felt like it was just maybe twelve feet above your house. It was so intense I could feel and hear the roaring. I was so scared my heart jumped in my throat and I almost fell backwards. The next thing I knew the thing was gone. I turned around to watch it fly away and couldn’t see it. It was bizarre. It happened SO fast that I barely had time to process it and always just convinced myself that it must have been some weird plane. It was one of the scariest thing that ever happened to me and now reading about the Phoenix Lights I feel validated because no one ever believed me.
People talk about “why are there no pictures of this?” — well, for me I understand it because what I saw was so brief (maybe seven seconds) I barely had time to process it.
