They became known as the Phoenix Lights and remain one of the most-documented UFO sightings in US history. But what really happened in the desert that night to convince so many people they'd witnessed something otherworldly? (Hint: it's never aliens) ** Video of the first v-shaped formation of lights: https://youtu.be/_JATvJNjD6s?t=81 Video of the second set of hovering/falling lights (which, upon watching again, really just look like they're turning on and off \"mysteriously\" thanks to 1997 camcorder technology): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvKLeaPWPyw ** WE WROTE A BOOK!
