Thousands of civilians reported seeing a massive V-shaped formation of lights moving silently over Arizona skies.
On the night of March 13, 1997, thousands of residents across Arizona reported witnessing a large, silent, V-shaped formation of lights moving slowly across the sky. The event lasted several minutes and was observed from multiple cities, including Prescott, Phoenix, and Tucson. Some witnesses described a solid craft blocking out stars, while others saw distinct light formations. The U.S. Air Force later attributed part of the sightings to military flares, though many witnesses disputed this explanation due to the scale, silence, and formation behavior of the object.
