Then-Governor Fife Symington initially mocked the sighting at a press conference but later admitted he witnessed the craft himself and described it as 'otherworldly.'
Multiple video recordings of the Phoenix Lights event on March 13, 1997 — one of the largest mass UAP sightings in history. Thousands of witnesses across Arizona saw a massive V-shaped craft estimated at over a mile wide silently glide over Phoenix. Arizona Governor Fife Symington initially mocked the event at a press conference, then later admitted he himself witnessed the craft and called it 'otherworldly.' Separate from the later flare drop the military claimed as explanation.
