The INSANE UFO Phenomenon · The conspiracy

0:00
Speaker 1: Crime, conspiracy, cults, serial killers, and murder. All things that
0:06
Speaker 1: I love to consume, and I know you do too,
0:09
Speaker 1: you sick, beautiful, adorable-minded, intellectual freak. If you thought Roswell,
0:15
Speaker 1: New Mexico was the only place in the United States
0:18
Speaker 1: desert that has aliens, then you would be wrong. For
0:21
Speaker 1: some reason, extraterrestrials love to target dry places. But maybe
0:26
Speaker 1: there's a reason for that. I mean, the US government
0:28
Speaker 1: puts the most secretive base out in the desert, so
0:31
Speaker 1: maybe they know something that we don't. Either way, in 1977,
0:35
Speaker 1: the residents of Phoenix, Arizona experienced an unexplainable and strange
0:41
Speaker 1: event that still drives tourists and alien fanatics to the
0:45
Speaker 1: city of Phoenix in hopes of seeing some unusual phenomenon,
0:49
Speaker 1: not unlike these two beautiful ladies right here. But yes,
0:53
Speaker 1: today we are going to be talking about the Phoenix
0:56
Speaker 1: Lights in 1997. Some alien shit, which I love that stuff.
1:01
Speaker 1: And lately with the government just blatantly saying that there
1:05
Speaker 1: are aliens, There's probably some truth to this, which is
1:07
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Without further ado, let's unbuckle our seat belts,
1:10
Speaker 1: go Mach 5 down the highway, slam on the brakes,
1:13
Speaker 1: and bust through this windshield and into this UFO alien
1:17
Speaker 1: case together. So imagine this, it's Thursday night, March 13th, 1997,
1:37
Speaker 1: and it's 6.55 p.m. And you just got off work,
1:40
Speaker 1: maybe just finished cooking dinner. It's time to relax and
1:43
Speaker 1: enjoy your night when all of the sudden you hear
1:46
Speaker 1: a sound of rushing wind. So you rush outside to
1:49
Speaker 1: see what's going on and up in the sky is
1:52
Speaker 1: a large V-shaped ship flying over your house. Well this
1:56
Speaker 1: is what exactly happened to one of the unidentified witnesses
2:01
Speaker 1: in Henderson, Nevada. So according to witness reports, a V-sized
2:06
Speaker 1: ship the size of a Boeing 747 with six large
2:10
Speaker 1: lights underneath the wings and one light at the tip
2:13
Speaker 1: of the vehicle acted like a spotlight flew over his home.
2:17
Speaker 1: And it flew low to the ground and went northwest
2:21
Speaker 1: to southeast and sounded like rushing wind. And the witness
2:24
Speaker 1: would watch the ship fly away and out of sight completely.
2:28
Speaker 1: And later that night, in the direction where they claimed
2:30
Speaker 1: the ship was flying, a former police officer, who is
2:33
Speaker 1: also unidentified, saw a group of reddish orange lights in
2:37
Speaker 1: the sky. And they claimed that four lights were grouped together,
2:41
Speaker 1: followed by a single light behind the main group. And
2:44
Speaker 1: continuing to look at them, they claimed that within each
2:46
Speaker 1: light were two sources of light. And this sighting occurred
2:50
Speaker 1: in Polden, Arizona at approximately 8.15 p.m. And it was
2:54
Speaker 1: last seen moving south. And it takes roughly three hours
2:57
Speaker 1: and 16 minutes to drive between the two towns. So
3:01
Speaker 1: whatever was flying in the sky was moving pretty damn fast,
3:04
Speaker 1: if it was able to travel that distance within about
3:06
Speaker 1: an hour and 20 minutes. And around the same time
3:09
Speaker 1: at 8.17 p.m. in the town of Prescott, Arizona, numerous
3:14
Speaker 1: citizens made 911 calls to the local police about a
3:17
Speaker 1: strange object in the sky that blocked out the stars.
3:21
Speaker 1: They never reported any lights though, but did say that
3:24
Speaker 1: the object was solid. So that's very interesting, especially with
3:28
Speaker 1: multiple people calling the police in different parts of the town.
3:31
Speaker 1: Very interesting. And again, this object was moving fast as
3:35
Speaker 1: the average travel time between the two towns was about
3:38
Speaker 1: 40 minutes by car. And it traveled that time in
3:41
Speaker 1: only two. And one could argue that it was a
3:43
Speaker 1: different unidentified flying object, but these reports came from the
3:47
Speaker 1: direction in which the strange ship was last spotted. And
3:50
Speaker 1: in the same timeframe as the reports were coming in
3:52
Speaker 1: from Prescott, A few miles to the east, in Prescott Valley,
3:56
Speaker 1: the Kayser family was standing outside and staring up at
4:00
Speaker 1: the sky. And looking directly to the west, they were
4:02
Speaker 1: able to see a cluster of lights that eventually formed
4:05
Speaker 1: into a triangle pattern. And they reported that all lights
4:08
Speaker 1: were red except for the one at the tip of
4:10
Speaker 1: the triangle. And once again, when the object flew over
4:13
Speaker 1: the family, they claimed that it was slow flying. And
4:16
Speaker 1: after watching it for about two to three minutes, it
4:18
Speaker 1: disappeared into the night sky. So hearing all the UFO
4:21
Speaker 1: activity that was coming out of Arizona, the National UFO
4:24
Speaker 1: Reporting Center sent out some of its own personnel to
4:28
Speaker 1: Prescott Valley to see if they could record any information.
4:31
Speaker 1: And here is what they reported.
4:33
Speaker 2: While doing astrophotography, I observed five yellow-white lights in a
4:37
Speaker 2: V formation moving slowly. from the northwest, across the sky
4:41
Speaker 2: to the northeast, then turn almost due south and continue
4:45
Speaker 2: until out of sight. The point of the V was
4:47
Speaker 2: in the direction of movement. The first three lights were
4:50
Speaker 2: in a fairly tight V, What? While two of the
4:54
Speaker 2: lights were further back along the lines of the V legs,
4:57
Speaker 2: during the northwest-northeast transit, one of the trailing lights moved
5:01
Speaker 2: up and joined the three and then dropped back to
5:04
Speaker 2: the trailing position. I estimated the three-light V to cover
5:08
Speaker 2: about 0.5 degrees of sky, and the whole group of
5:12
Speaker 2: five lights to cover about one degree of the sky.
5:14
Speaker 2: They also captured a photo of the.
5:16
Speaker 1: Strange lights in the sky, which we'll show here. I
5:25
Speaker 1: figured I'd do some sound effects for the photo. Very strange.
5:29
Speaker 1: I didn't understand any of what I just said, but
5:31
Speaker 1: I hope you did. And the next sighting would occur
5:33
Speaker 1: in Dewey, Arizona. Sorry if I said that wrong. Which
5:37
Speaker 1: for the first time is in the opposite direction from
5:39
Speaker 1: where it last headed. And Dewey is directly south from
5:42
Speaker 1: Prescott Valley. And by this point, it seems that we
5:45
Speaker 1: are starting to lose the predictability of the unknown craft. Frankie, Frankie.
5:52
Speaker 1: She's scared of aliens, Frankie. And another family saw the
5:55
Speaker 1: lighted craft exiting Prescott Valley, approximately 65 miles from where
6:00
Speaker 1: they were standing. How do you measure that? And Tim Lee,
6:03
Speaker 1: or Lay, his grandson, Damien Turnage, and his wife, Bobby,
6:07
Speaker 1: claimed that when they first saw the lights, they appeared
6:10
Speaker 1: to be five separate lights in the shape of an arc,
6:13
Speaker 1: believing they were at the top of a hot air balloon.
6:16
Speaker 1: So similar to a truck. But as the strange lights
6:19
Speaker 1: came closer to them They did say that it was
6:22
Speaker 1: more of the in the shape of a V So
6:24
Speaker 1: there you go and just as it had done before
6:26
Speaker 1: the craft had passed directly over the Lee family or
6:30
Speaker 1: lay family I don't know and they claimed that the
6:31
Speaker 1: object was about 100 or 150 feet above their head
6:36
Speaker 1: so very very close and they described the ship as
6:39
Speaker 1: having one light at the tip and two on each
6:41
Speaker 1: side And unlike the first report, they claimed that it
6:44
Speaker 1: was completely silent as it stopped and hovered above their heads.
6:48
Speaker 1: Which is like really creepy since it's so close to them.
6:51
Speaker 1: But it didn't stop for as long and continued through
6:53
Speaker 1: a V-shaped area nearing Squaw Peak Mountain. And this would
6:57
Speaker 1: be the last sighting before the pandemonium broke out in
7:01
Speaker 1: Phoenix and would occur at around 8.30 p.m. Squaw Peak
7:05
Speaker 1: is almost at the dead center of Phoenix, so this
7:08
Speaker 1: ship was no longer floating over open desert, but instead
7:12
Speaker 1: a very large city. Every time I say squaw, I
7:14
Speaker 1: wanna say squaw! So I'm gonna do that. And this
7:17
Speaker 1: would result in numerous videos and photos, which we will
7:21
Speaker 1: cover next. Stay tuned. Also, just to preface, Squaw Peak
7:25
Speaker 1: is a former name of the mountain, unfortunately, because I
7:28
Speaker 1: really like saying squaw, since these sightings. It has been
7:31
Speaker 1: changed to Piestewa? Piestewa? I'm not good at pronouncing things. Peak.
7:37
Speaker 1: And I'm just telling you this to keep the story
7:39
Speaker 1: and locations accurate to modern day. So when it was
7:41
Speaker 1: over the Phoenix area, one man by the name of
7:43
Speaker 1: Billy Greener was driving a cement truck hauling a load
7:47
Speaker 1: near North Phoenix. And he claimed to see a second
7:50
Speaker 1: group of lights hovering over the city for roughly two hours.
7:54
Speaker 1: And he also claimed to have seen military jets fly
7:58
Speaker 1: out from Luke Air Force Base near North Phoenix and
8:02
Speaker 1: intercept the strange ship. But once they had reached it,
8:05
Speaker 1: he claimed that the ship flew vertically into the sky
8:08
Speaker 1: and disappeared. which is horrifying.
8:10
Speaker 3: I watched two jets come out of Luke, and they
8:14
Speaker 3: come out real quick. They had their afterburners on. They
8:16
Speaker 3: had huge flames coming off of them. And then as
8:19
Speaker 3: soon as those two were airborne, another one come out,
8:21
Speaker 3: a third one come out from behind it. And as
8:23
Speaker 3: soon as they were airborne, all three jets made an
8:26
Speaker 3: abrupt turn and headed for the closest object to the base,
8:30
Speaker 3: which was in the southwest. And as soon as the
8:33
Speaker 3: jets got to the object, it shot straight up and
8:37
Speaker 3: disappeared right in front of me.
8:38
Speaker 1: And another report came from a man traveling to Los
8:41
Speaker 1: Angeles and called 911 from a phone booth in Kingman, Arizona,
8:45
Speaker 1: which is about two and a half hours northwest of Phoenix.
8:48
Speaker 1: And he had claimed to see a large cluster of
8:50
Speaker 1: stars moving across the northern sky. This report, though, is
8:54
Speaker 1: not substantiated as the other because we don't know who
8:56
Speaker 1: reported it. However, the best sighting of the night was
9:00
Speaker 1: made by a man named Mike Christen. All these people
9:04
Speaker 1: got names, I don't know if I'm saying it right. Christen? Christen?
9:08
Speaker 1: And his footage is the best available footage of the
9:11
Speaker 1: Phoenix Lights and is the same footage used by news
9:14
Speaker 1: outlets and researchers alike. And the four and a half
9:17
Speaker 1: minute video involves Mike standing on his deck looking at
9:21
Speaker 1: the South Mountain overlooking the city of Phoenix at night.
9:24
Speaker 1: And originally he believed that the light was coming from
9:26
Speaker 1: the South Mountain he was looking at. However, only a
9:29
Speaker 1: few minutes later, the light reappeared floating over the city
9:32
Speaker 1: of Phoenix. So I don't know if it can like,
9:36
Speaker 1: what's that word called? Teleport or what? And then a
9:41
Speaker 1: second one appeared and then a third and then a
9:45
Speaker 1: fourth and then a fifth. and then three more appeared.
9:50
Speaker 1: And one light was off to the side of the
9:51
Speaker 1: ship while seven lights sat in groups together. And each
9:55
Speaker 1: light would slowly turn on and eventually you could see
9:59
Speaker 1: that they were in the shade of an arc or
10:01
Speaker 1: a V. And oddly enough, Mike's wife Sue says that,
10:04
Speaker 1: quote unquote, that is a totally different configuration than we've
10:08
Speaker 1: ever seen. And halfway through the video, after the light
10:12
Speaker 1: to the left of the ship disappears, we learn the
10:14
Speaker 1: time of the event. The video was recorded at 10 p.m.
10:18
Speaker 1: at night. This means that the lights had been over
10:19
Speaker 1: the city of Phoenix for about an hour and a half.
10:22
Speaker 1: based on the timing of the Lee family seeing these lights.
10:26
Speaker 1: And just as the lights began to fade out, leaving
10:28
Speaker 1: only one light left in the sky, we learned that
10:30
Speaker 1: Mike is about 25 miles away from the city of Phoenix.
10:34
Speaker 1: And looking at the footage, the lights look incredibly bright
10:37
Speaker 1: and even appear to flicker, though that could be the
10:40
Speaker 1: quality of the footage. Nevertheless, these lights must have been
10:43
Speaker 1: incredibly huge for them to be as bright as they
10:45
Speaker 1: were sticking out 25 miles away. And near the end
10:48
Speaker 1: of the video, before the video cuts out, Sue says,
10:51
Speaker 1: quote unquote, we usually see them. And then she is
10:54
Speaker 1: cut off. So this family has clearly seen lights before,
10:58
Speaker 1: but Why were they never reported? And the next day,
11:01
Speaker 1: the news outlets went frigging nuts with numerous reports of
11:05
Speaker 1: a V-shaped UFO flying across Arizona and hovering over Phoenix.
11:09
Speaker 1: It's like signs out there. So what were these lights?
11:12
Speaker 1: Were they manmade or really UFOs? At the time, many
11:16
Speaker 1: believed that it was aliens and so Phoenix saw a
11:19
Speaker 1: huge influx of tourists hoping to see the lights themselves.
11:22
Speaker 1: And since that night, people have stared up in the
11:24
Speaker 1: night sky above Phoenix hoping to see the lights and
11:27
Speaker 1: hoping that they would reappear. And surprisingly, they did. In
11:31
Speaker 1: February of 2007, the lights were seen again and supposedly
11:35
Speaker 1: recorded by a local Fox News station. How convenient. However,
11:40
Speaker 1: looking online for it, I found no trace of this broadcast,
11:44
Speaker 1: which is very... Weird and interesting. Local government officials claimed
11:49
Speaker 1: that the lights were actually flares dropped by an F-16
11:52
Speaker 1: during a training regiment at the Luke Air Force Base.
11:55
Speaker 1: But a year later, another sighting appeared and involved a
11:58
Speaker 1: military interception. On April 21st, 2008, Phoenix residents reported seeing
12:03
Speaker 1: lights that shifted from a square to a triangle formation.
12:07
Speaker 1: And soon after, jets were spotted heading towards those lights.
12:10
Speaker 1: But the Luke Air Force Base denied any activity in
12:13
Speaker 1: the area. Suspicious. And the next day, a Phoenix resident
12:17
Speaker 1: claimed responsibility, saying he attached flares to helium balloons and
12:21
Speaker 1: released them. Kind of based. And this was confirmed by
12:25
Speaker 1: a police helicopter, so the conspiracy isn't true, I guess.
12:29
Speaker 1: That times. And now the phenomenon has become so popular
12:32
Speaker 1: that spoofs are starting to appear. And this kind of
12:34
Speaker 1: stuff really muddies the research to determine the original sightings.
12:37
Speaker 1: As you can imagine, there are plenty of explanations and
12:40
Speaker 1: theories surrounding the Phoenix Lights. So let's dive into them
12:43
Speaker 1: and determine the best one and explain the strange phenomenon.
12:47
Speaker 1: Just pausing the video to tell you that, uh, Sour Boys,
12:50
Speaker 1: Sour Boys, go grab some Sour Boys. I have a
12:52
Speaker 1: little deal for you. Right now we have Sour Boys
12:55
Speaker 1: pitch black strips and Rainbow Sherbert, they're Delicious. So the
13:00
Speaker 1: first 200 people to go to sour.gg, put in the
13:03
Speaker 1: code aliens is going to get 20% off. Also, you
13:05
Speaker 1: can't layer codes on top of each other. So if
13:09
Speaker 1: you've gotten codes in the back in the past or now,
13:12
Speaker 1: you can't just layer them on top of each other.
13:14
Speaker 1: But the first 200 people go get it now. And
13:16
Speaker 1: even if you're not, go to sour.gg and grab some candy.
13:20
Speaker 1: It's delicious. We make it here in Texas and I've
13:23
Speaker 1: touched all of them. So go grab it. Anyway, back
13:27
Speaker 1: to the video. Our initial focus today will be on
13:29
Speaker 1: the theory of geese. Yeah, apparently this theory states that
13:35
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Lights were actually geese covered in an oil
13:39
Speaker 1: and the lights in the sky were the city lights
13:41
Speaker 1: reflecting off their shining bodies. And this theory sounds pretty
13:46
Speaker 1: outlandish to me. However, looking at the evidence, I suppose
13:49
Speaker 1: that it could be possible. For starters, geese are known
13:52
Speaker 1: to migrate through Arizona and it is known that snow geese,
13:56
Speaker 1: cackling geese, and Canadian geese Shout out to Canada, and
13:59
Speaker 1: we don't call them Canadian geese, we call them Cobra chickens,
14:01
Speaker 1: so get it right. But they all fly north from
14:04
Speaker 1: March to May, so the time frame, and location could
14:07
Speaker 1: work technically. And they are also known for flying in
14:10
Speaker 1: V-shaped flocks, which lines up with the eyewitness reports claiming
14:13
Speaker 1: the ship was V-shaped. Now the theory states that it
14:15
Speaker 1: was specifically oiled covered geese that caused the lights, but
14:19
Speaker 1: I don't believe that that is possible. Because there is
14:23
Speaker 1: so much research looking into the effects of oil spills
14:26
Speaker 1: and wild fowl, and it is very apparent that the
14:28
Speaker 1: birds covered in oil cannot fly or fly very well,
14:32
Speaker 1: that is. And I'll give you a brief anatomy lesson
14:35
Speaker 1: on waterfowl and birds in general. So if you were
14:37
Speaker 1: to look at the wing of a bird, you would
14:39
Speaker 1: see that the feathers are all interlocking. And they are
14:42
Speaker 1: able to do this because of millions of tiny barbs
14:45
Speaker 1: that help seal the feathers together while allowing them to
14:48
Speaker 1: be flexible. And when they get covered in oil, it
14:51
Speaker 1: not only allows the feathers to heat up quicker, damaging
14:54
Speaker 1: the feathers, but it also damages the barbs. which then
14:58
Speaker 1: removes the seal, making it nearly impossible for birds to fly.
15:01
Speaker 1: So the theory stating that the geese covered in oil
15:04
Speaker 1: is kind of implausible because they wouldn't be able to
15:07
Speaker 1: get off the ground. However, there is still some evidence
15:09
Speaker 1: that could point to it being geese. And it's one
15:12
Speaker 1: specific breed of geese that could cause the phoenix lights.
15:15
Speaker 1: The snow goose and the answer carulescens. I'm not going
15:19
Speaker 1: to even try to say that. Put it right here
15:21
Speaker 1: so they can see. I have no idea. is a
15:23
Speaker 1: bright white goose that is known to migrate through Arizona.
15:26
Speaker 1: And their white feathers are extremely bright in the sun.
15:29
Speaker 1: And when large flocks take off, they're known to block
15:32
Speaker 1: out the sun and shine very brightly. So hypothetically, it
15:35
Speaker 1: would be possible for a flock of snow geese to
15:38
Speaker 1: fly over Phoenix and reflect down into the city. Even
15:41
Speaker 1: studies show that birds, while nocturnally migrating, are attracted to
15:45
Speaker 1: city lights. And one study even showed that birds are
15:48
Speaker 1: actually attracted to offshore lights. And conducted near silt in
15:51
Speaker 1: the North Sea, the experiment exposed birds to various light
15:54
Speaker 1: setups and their proximity to the light source was recorded
15:58
Speaker 1: using thermal cameras. And the research did find that the
16:00
Speaker 1: birds were more attracted to artificial lights when stars are
16:04
Speaker 1: obscured by cloud cover, impairing their natural orientation cues. And
16:08
Speaker 1: continuous light, particularly in blue, green, and white, attracted more
16:13
Speaker 1: birds than blinking light, while red light, especially in continuous mode,
16:17
Speaker 1: attracted the fewest birds. And given the risk posed by
16:20
Speaker 1: artificial lighting from offshore wind farms and other marine structures,
16:24
Speaker 1: the study concludes that blinking lights, especially red, are less
16:27
Speaker 1: likely to attract birds and could reduce collision risks. And
16:30
Speaker 1: the findings suggest that minimizing artificial light at sea and
16:33
Speaker 1: using red and blinking lights when necessary are optimal strategies
16:37
Speaker 1: for bird conservation while ensuring safety for maritime and aviation traffic.
16:41
Speaker 1: Now it was said that the sky was clear that
16:45
Speaker 1: fateful night over Phoenix. However, with the amount of stoplights
16:48
Speaker 1: blinking throughout the city, I'm sure that it could have
16:50
Speaker 1: had the same effect as the offshore structures did. And
16:53
Speaker 1: this theory is only being considered because of the event
16:55
Speaker 1: that occurred in 2017, which on October 30th, 2017, in Alberta, Canada,
17:01
Speaker 1: shout out to Canada, a couple would pull onto the
17:04
Speaker 1: side of the road to record what looked like thousands
17:07
Speaker 1: of candles or a campfire flying through the air. But later,
17:10
Speaker 1: it was discovered it was just a bizarre incident that
17:13
Speaker 1: was caused by a flock of snow geese flying over
17:15
Speaker 1: a large industrial greenhouse. And more than likely, the lights
17:19
Speaker 1: in the greenhouse were high-pressure sodium lights. And they are
17:21
Speaker 1: commonly used in industrial greenhouses and emanate a very strong
17:25
Speaker 1: orange color. And this would explain why the geese glowed
17:28
Speaker 1: a bright orange, if they were Canadian geese, cobra chickens.
17:32
Speaker 1: Their darker colors would not have reflected the light as well.
17:35
Speaker 1: So the Phoenix Lights could have been a flock of
17:37
Speaker 1: snow geese flying over the city at night. This would
17:40
Speaker 1: explain the V-shape in the sky being blocked out. It
17:43
Speaker 1: doesn't really address the lights disappearing or the fact that
17:45
Speaker 1: the lights flew over large expanses of open desert. But nevertheless,
17:50
Speaker 1: it's still an interesting explanation. But the next theory is
17:53
Speaker 1: way more interesting than some goofy fucking geese. What if
17:57
Speaker 1: I told you that the Phoenix Lights were in fact
18:00
Speaker 1: aliens and the government and city of Phoenix covered it
18:04
Speaker 1: up except for one councilwoman? Because as you can imagine,
18:07
Speaker 1: the next day, residents all over Phoenix and the state
18:09
Speaker 1: of Arizona contacted the police and city officials demanding to
18:13
Speaker 1: know what the fuck was going on. And weirdly enough,
18:15
Speaker 1: the city of Phoenix was not really interested in finding
18:18
Speaker 1: out what the cause of the lights were. Instead, they
18:21
Speaker 1: told the residents it was a military operation. And one
18:24
Speaker 1: explanation given by the city council was that the first
18:27
Speaker 1: citation was actually a group of A-10 Thunderbolts flying in
18:31
Speaker 1: a V-shaped formation as part of a pilot training program
18:35
Speaker 1: out of the Davis Mothan Air Force Base in Tuscan, Arizona.
18:39
Speaker 1: And apparently this explanation is backed by a random testimony
18:42
Speaker 1: from a resident in Scottsdale named Mitch Stanley, sounds fake
18:46
Speaker 1: to me, who claimed to see a squadron through his telescope.
18:49
Speaker 1: And Mitch is not a top-tier scientist. He is a
18:52
Speaker 1: self-proclaimed amateur astronomer. So for his observation to be factual
18:57
Speaker 1: is a bit... odd. He even claimed that the planes
19:00
Speaker 1: were very high in the sky, which is completely contradictory
19:03
Speaker 1: to what the other witnesses claimed for it being only
19:05
Speaker 1: like a hundred feet high. And they went on to
19:07
Speaker 1: say that the lights disappearing in the sky were due
19:10
Speaker 1: to the jets flying over a mountain being blocked by mountaintops.
19:13
Speaker 1: And all the city council members were very quick to
19:16
Speaker 1: agree that these statements were true. Except for one person.
19:19
Speaker 1: Phoenix City Councilwoman Frances Emma Barwood. She was completely awestruck
19:24
Speaker 1: that the government and city were just so relaxed and
19:26
Speaker 1: not interested in finding out what these lights really were.
19:29
Speaker 1: In the following year, Barwood would run for Secretary of State.
19:32
Speaker 1: And during her campaign, she pledged to increase internet access
19:36
Speaker 1: to government records, improve voting procedures, and demand explanation for
19:42
Speaker 1: the UFO sightings within the state of Arizona. And another
19:45
Speaker 1: major component of her campaign was getting people to trust
19:48
Speaker 1: the government. Very hard ask. She even wrote Senator John
19:53
Speaker 1: McCain demanding a military investigation. And she has come out
19:56
Speaker 1: saying that she didn't personally see the lights and that
19:58
Speaker 1: she doesn't have a position on extraterrestrials. However, she does
20:02
Speaker 1: believe the public deserves to know. Damn straight. And because
20:06
Speaker 1: of her stances, she was mocked and became a favorite
20:09
Speaker 1: in UFO conspiracy theory circles. And it didn't help that
20:12
Speaker 1: her campaign manager, Stephen Bassett, a man who is a
20:15
Speaker 1: big believer in aliens, even lobbied the US government to
20:19
Speaker 1: investigate at least five different alien-related topics and cases, which is...
20:24
Speaker 1: So basically, Barwood believed that the Phoenix Lights were aliens
20:27
Speaker 1: and dismissed the general explanation. She was labeled as crazy.
20:31
Speaker 1: And from there on, her opinions would not be taken
20:33
Speaker 1: very seriously. And it even got so bad that she
20:36
Speaker 1: had to drop out of politics because she could no
20:38
Speaker 1: longer be taken seriously. But were her beliefs that crazy?
20:43
Speaker 1: I don't think so. And one piece of evidence that
20:45
Speaker 1: she brought up constantly is that the military radars never
20:48
Speaker 1: picked up anything on their radars. And if there was
20:51
Speaker 1: a squadron of A-10s dropping flares in the sky as
20:55
Speaker 1: a training regiment, the radars would have picked them up.
20:58
Speaker 1: And this piece of evidence alone points to some type
21:00
Speaker 1: of government cover-up. And all the blame falls onto a
21:04
Speaker 1: crazy woman who was against the status quo, I say, Yeah, Francie's.
21:10
Speaker 1: And should you want more proof, an article posted to
21:13
Speaker 1: the Phoenix New Times on April 10th, 1997, one month
21:17
Speaker 1: after the original sightings, detailed a plot of political sabotage
21:21
Speaker 1: against Barwood by the mayor of the city council of Phoenix.
21:25
Speaker 1: And apparently in 1995, the city of Phoenix held a
21:28
Speaker 1: vote on whether or not to rezone the Desert Ridge District,
21:32
Speaker 1: a zone within Barwood's jurisdiction, to accommodate for the Sumitomo
21:36
Speaker 1: Citix silicone wafer plant. That was hard to say. And
21:41
Speaker 1: this plant was extremely controversial because it used a lot
21:44
Speaker 1: of harmful chemicals and would be put in a very
21:47
Speaker 1: close proximity to residential neighborhoods. And originally when the vote
21:51
Speaker 1: took place in September of that year, Barwood voted for
21:53
Speaker 1: a tech firm to be moved into that location. However,
21:56
Speaker 1: the rest of the council voted for the plant and
21:59
Speaker 1: it would be later installed. And as it turns out,
22:01
Speaker 1: Barwood would find a letter from the mayor, Skimp, to
22:05
Speaker 1: the parent company of Sumitomo in Japan. Essentially, both the
22:09
Speaker 1: parties agreed to install the plant all the way back
22:12
Speaker 1: in March of 1995. And she found another letter from
22:15
Speaker 1: July showing that the mayor and supposed plant opposers on
22:20
Speaker 1: the city board reassured executives of Sumitomo that the zoning
22:25
Speaker 1: and permits would be in order by the September vote
22:28
Speaker 1: so construction could start early. And the city knew that
22:31
Speaker 1: Barwood would never allow such a hazardous plant to be
22:33
Speaker 1: placed in her district. So they all worked together to
22:36
Speaker 1: circumvent her from getting some of the members to claim
22:40
Speaker 1: to be on her side and oppose the plant. But
22:42
Speaker 1: in reality, they wanted the plant to be in place
22:44
Speaker 1: as much as the mayor did. So combine that with
22:47
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Lights and it paints Barwood as this crazy
22:50
Speaker 1: person who just is inconsiderate of her jurisdiction's residents. And
22:54
Speaker 1: it is a perfect plot of political sabotage and alien coverup.
22:58
Speaker 1: But this situation didn't go unnoticed. As some people immortalize
23:01
Speaker 1: Barwood's cries for an investigation as brave and daring to
23:05
Speaker 1: do what nobody else would. And with Barwood out of
23:07
Speaker 1: the way, nobody in political power could threaten to expose
23:11
Speaker 1: the government information or potentially classified government vehicles. And since
23:15
Speaker 1: all these events occurred, Barwood has actually been a part
23:18
Speaker 1: of four different Phoenix Lights documentaries, telling her story and
23:21
Speaker 1: showing the world that something bigger is going on and
23:24
Speaker 1: a lot of high-ranking people don't want you to know.
23:27
Speaker 1: And the last and final theory is that there were
23:30
Speaker 1: multiple alien vessels, one being a scout ship and one
23:34
Speaker 1: being the mothership. Very signs-y. You see, there was multiple
23:38
Speaker 1: descriptions of the shape of the vessel. Some said that
23:41
Speaker 1: it was V-shaped and others said that it was in
23:44
Speaker 1: the shape of an arc. And some hypothesized that the
23:46
Speaker 1: art-shaped ship, I don't know why, arc shape shift, arc
23:50
Speaker 1: shape shift, arc shape shift, arc shaped shift, is the
23:55
Speaker 1: mothership and that it is actually circular while the scout
23:59
Speaker 1: ship is V-shaped. And this would explain the different shapes
24:02
Speaker 1: and how there were more than five lights in the
24:05
Speaker 1: sky at one time and in one place. And it
24:07
Speaker 1: would also explain why some of the lights were orangish-reddish
24:11
Speaker 1: and why others were white. But it's unclear which lights
24:13
Speaker 1: correlate with which ship. However, the final theory fills a
24:17
Speaker 1: lot of holes. Don't. Be gross. And this theory would
24:20
Speaker 1: also explain greener sightings of seeing a second ship flying
24:23
Speaker 1: off into space after being intercepted by those jets. They
24:27
Speaker 1: might have come into contact with the scout ship and
24:29
Speaker 1: escaped capture and just flew off. But that is all
24:32
Speaker 1: I have for the Phoenix Lights. I would love to
24:35
Speaker 1: hear what you think the Phoenix Lights were. Do you
24:37
Speaker 1: believe they are a government contraption or was it aliens?
24:41
Speaker 1: Why did the Phoenix ostracize Barwood and sabotage her political career?
24:46
Speaker 1: What we do know is that the Phoenix Lights are
24:48
Speaker 1: still very fascinating and a very unexplainable phenomenon that captivates
24:53
Speaker 1: thousands who travel to Arizona in hopes of seeing the
24:56
Speaker 1: lights themselves. You bet your ass I'm going to be
24:59
Speaker 1: going to Arizona and just seeing whether I can see
25:02
Speaker 1: these lights or not. You know, I'm going to crack
25:04
Speaker 1: this case. Probably not. No, I will. I think I'll go.
25:07
Speaker 1: Anybody that's from Arizona, I would love to hear what
25:09
Speaker 1: you have to say specifically or anybody that's been to Arizona.
25:12
Speaker 1: Let me know down in the comments below. But yeah,
25:15
Speaker 1: that is all that I have for the video. And
25:17
Speaker 1: if you have any other suggestions of conspiracy cults, serial killers, murder,
25:20
Speaker 1: let me know in the comments below. I love reading
25:23
Speaker 1: the comments and let me know what your theories are.
25:24
Speaker 1: I always love to see those as well. And until
25:26
Speaker 1: next time, I will see you a beautiful face in
25:28
Speaker 1: the next video. All right, bye.
