# 59 The Phoenix Lights
I was there.
Like tens of thousands of individuals I too watched the gigantic spacecraft overhead.
It wasn’t just lights like you might see described in many news casts from the time.
I lived in Cass Grande a town between Phoenix and Tucson. I was traveling home from Phoenix at dusk when it appeared over Phoenix. It followed the freeway from Phoenix toward Tucson and passed right over me . I and many others pulled over to the side of the road and looked upward as it passed.
Stars were obscured as it passed silently overhead. It was huge! City blocks huge! Reflected light from the freeway faintly illuminated the underside. You could make out an assortment of protrubances of unknown use. It was a dark greenish ,grayish, blackish, bluish metallic sheen…
A friend of mine was an air traffic controllers for Phoenix International Airport.
He was on duty that evening. He told me that his supervisors and some Air force military warned him … he saw nothing. Nothing.
The governor made a joke of the incident at the time then many years later admitted publicly he too saw it as did so many others.
