It’s the anniversary of the Lights Over Phoenix sighting, March 13th, 1997. Many people all over the valley and state reported seeing things in the sky that night. This type of sighting of “unknown objects” occurs all over our country, not just in Phoenix. Orbs, lights, solid object of all size and shapes have been seen by many people.

Tonight you look at the dark sky and see something strange, unbelievable and you’ve never seen anything like it in the past. What would you do?

I'd be calling up my friends who live nearby to get outside in their yards and look up!

Plus, if there are any hot aliens that want to probe me relentlessly for hours, I would volunteer my services as a guinea pig.

Most likely ignore it until I hear it's reported by someone else.

I'd probably grab my husband and kids to come see it..then call some friends and ask if they saw it too. I wouldn't report it probably.

In all honesty I think it would scare me and I would go indoors.

Oh, I would definitely try to take a picture, call the neighbors, have family members come look. One night while I was driving our youngest son home from a Cub Scout meeting on our county road we watched a very bright star above slowly move towards the east, then suddenly split apart into 2 'stars' and one went northeast while the other went southeast. I pulled over onto the shoulder of the road and we watched until both 'stars' disappeared.

Never heard anything about this and just shared this 'sighting' with our other son and my husband. Of course they just looked at us in disbelief. Never did figure out what we had seen..

I'd pack a bag and wait for them to pick me up...

LOL, knowing me, I would be on the phone pronto, calling everyone I knew to go outside and look! Dh would sigh and say I was too nosy, and I would just give him one of those looks.

Then I would snap a couple of pictures, and call one of our neighbors who I know will be on top of things.....the one that follows every ambulance and blue light that comes by our homes.....she always gets the scoop on what is happening.

Grab my DH and Camera & My Camera would be very busy, and I'd be wishing I had a better one for the distant close up getting shots. I'd be fumin and fussin I do not own a movie camera. After a few pix I'd call my neighbor across the street then the local news if the neighbor and I both thought it to be news worthy. Skip the law or air force. To many people and then they'd want to clear the area, get a hold of what ever / who ever...and examine it. Then deny it was ever anything.

I've always wanted to see a UFO but sadly I haven't. If I did, I would want there to be other witnesses so people wouldn't think I was nuts. So I would call the neighbors and anyone else around to have a look and tell me I'm not seeing things. Then I would try to get some video or pictures of the thing as evidence.
