On March 13, 1997, unexplained lights appeared over Phoenix, Arizona. I was in town when the mysterious event took place. While authorities would like you to believe that these were merely military flares, former Arizona Governor Fife Symington says there is much more to the story.
Symington now admits that he was among the hundreds of witnesses who saw a huge triangular object in the skies over Phoenix. The former Governor made a number of statements about the Phoenix Lights mystery to Leslie Kean, Special Correspondent to The Prescott Daily Courier. The statements were included in an article by Kean published in the Courier on March 18, 2007. In that article, the former Arizona Governor describes what he saw on March 13, 1997:
“It was enormous and inexplicable,” he said. “Who knows where it came from? A lot of people saw it, and I saw it too.”
Symington was referring to a V-shaped object with lights on it seen in the skies over Phoenix ten years ago. Some estimated the lights to be the size of a football field, while others said they could have been a mile long. He continued to describe his own sighting of the triangular object: “It was dramatic. And it couldn’t have been flares because it was too symmetrical.” The former Arizona Governor revealed the object to be a “craft of unknown origin.”
While Symington hasn’t been the only political figure in Arizona to comment on the Phoenix Lights, he stands alone in his admission that they were more than just flares. When asked to comment on the Phoenix Lights in 2000, Senator John McCain said, “That has never been fully explained.” He also quickly added, “But I have to tell you that I do not have any evidence whatsoever of aliens or UFOs.”
Fife Symington says he called the commander of Luke Air Force Base, the Arizona Department of Public Safety and a General with the Arizona National Guard back in 1997 to ask about the lights. None of them were able to provide him with any answers and seemed “perplexed.” One of the problems with the sightings were the multitude of explanations available at the time.
The V-shaped object with lights was seen in the sky around 8:30pm. The lights that were videotaped and seen around 10:30pm are what most people call the Phoenix Lights. These are often explained away as flares, but not everyone agrees. People that videotaped the 10:30pm event back in 1997 say the lights were in a triangular shape. Some of them had seen military flares being dropped on other occasions and say this was something completely different. However, authorities stayed with the flares explanation and explained the earlier events as a sighting of the Hale-Bopp Comet.
Synmington called for an investigation into the Phoenix Lights shortly after the sightings occurred, but the statement was a hollow one. Either he was not able to obtain cooperation from military authorities, or he never made much of an effort. However, with pressure mounting from the public, UFO researchers and news gathering organizations, he had to eventually take some action.
On June 19, 1997, Governor Fife Symington held a press conference in Phoenix. Dressing one of his aides up as an Alien, the Governor said that the Phoenix Lights were flares and nothing to get upset about. He also said that he was only joking when he ordered the Arizona Department of Public Safety (Arizona State Police) to investigate the sightings. Today, he still defends those actions.
“I wanted people to lighten up and calm down, so I introduced a little levity. But I never felt that the overall situation was a matter of ridicule,” Symington says about the infamous press conference. But not everyone was laughing. Former Phoenix Councilwoman Frances Barwood made a serious effort to investigate the sightings in 1997.
According to her recent statements, Barwood was unable to convince federal authorities to interview even one of the seven hundred witnesses that she spoke to about the Phoenix Lights. Big surprise! Being an elected official isn’t enough when it comes to getting answers about UFOs from the Military. Just ask current Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano.
Janet Napolitano called for an investigation into the Phoenix Lights during her 1997 campaign to become Arizona Attorney General and was elected to that office in 1998. Despite her former position as a U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona, we can assume that she was served the same plate of disinformation from the U.S. Military that the rest of us received. What does she think of Symington’s new revelation and the Phoenix Lights overall? We have asked and are awaiting her answer.
My own experience earlier that day was frightening and likely related to one or both the sightings of March 13, 1997. I was driving in from Flagstaff (north to south) on I-17 in the early afternoon. On a day when traffic was already heavy and almost at a standstill, State Patrol vehicles suddenly appeared and caused vehicles to pull over to the far right lanes. A few minutes later, military vehicles filled with troops and equipment covered by tarps went flying by at high speeds. The military procession lasted several minutes.
I was later told by other drivers who attended a seminar I was giving in Phoenix that the same thing happened that night and the next day. Others who attended my seminar reported being almost ‘buzzed’ by the lights while driving on various local roadways. They described huge balls of light which seemed to come down very low and keep pace with traffic. Apart from all the witness reports, more than a few people took photos and video of the Phoenix Lights.
Huge triangular objects have been a constant part of the UFO phenomenon from the very beginning. Some believe the triangle sightings date to prehistory and many point to sightings that may have occurred in the late 1800s. Most witnesses at that time assumed they were experimental kites of some sort. Then, there were all the unexplained triangle sightings in the 1950s, with and without lights. Two of the most famous involved the U.S. and British Military.
Beginning on September 13, 1952, Military Personnel aboard ships involved in NATO Operation Mainbrace saw and tracked a triangular shaped object flying at over 900 mph between Denmark and Norway. Witnesses said the object emitted a bright white light. There were additional UFO sightings during the NATO exercise as well which may have included saucer and cigar shaped crafts.
In July of 1955, a dark colored boomerang hovered completely still over Lasham Airfield, Hampshire, England, during the National Gliding Competitions. Seen by trained military observers, experienced civilian pilots and untrained spectators, the object hovered for thirty seconds before moving off to the southwest.
A triangular-shaped UFO captured the attention of the world’s press in November of 1989 when a huge, dark triangle with sparkling bright lights underneath was seen by citizens and police in Liege, Belgium. More sightings followed. In 1990, Belgium Military Officials announced that two F-16 jet fighters scrambled from a NATO base chased a triangular shaped object for over an hour. One jet locked the object in on radar. On the pilot’s screen it looked like a diamond.
There have been recent sightings of unexplained lights near Phoenix and triangular shaped craft over New Mexico and other parts of the Southwest.

UFO’s are a topic for late night talk radio, conspiracy theorists, and space junkies. Bujt, what if they are real? Why is our government so secretive? And what was in that flatbed truck in Decemebr 6th, 1965? Can the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) help us now? Does anyone really trust the government?
One winter night in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, eyewitnesses saw a fireball streak over North America, bank, turn and appear to crash in western Pennsylvania. Then swarms of military personnel combed the area and a tarp-covered flatbed truck rumbled out of the woods. And we’re not allowed to know what’s going on? Who is the government and who are they working for anyway?
FOIA advocates are specifically asking for information on the Coalition for Freedom of Information (CFI) is pressing the Air Force for documents involving Project Moon Dust and Operation Blue Fly, clandestine operations reported to have existed decades ago to investigate UFOs and retrieve objects of unknown origins. Way back inSeptember 1947, Lt. General Nathan Twining, Commander of Air Material Command at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, wrote an opinion concerning “Flying Discs” to Brig. General George Schulgen, Chief of the Air Intelligence Requirements Division at the Pentagon.
Twining wrote, “The phenomena is something real and not visionary or fictitious…The reported operating characteristics such as extreme rates of climb, maneuverability (particularly in roll), and action which must be considered evasive when sighted or contacted by friendly aircraft and radar, lend belief to the possibility that some of the objects are controlled either manually, automatically or remotely.”
In addition to the 1965 UFO incident in Pennsylvania, in August 1967, an object described as a satellite crashed and was recovered in the Sudan under Moon Dust. In 1968, Project Moon Dust recovered four unknown objects in Nepal; and in 1968, a “dome-shaped object” with no identification marks was retrieved underwater off Cape Town, South Africa. The metal object had been subjected to extreme heat and showed no signs of corrosion. NASA determined it was made of “almost pure aluminum” and stated that the NASA analysis of the sample and photographs “does not otherwise provide a clue as to its origin or function although it is possible it is a space object of US origin.”
Possible?
In 1970, a metal sphere that fell “with three loud explosions and then burned for five days” in South America. It had “ports” which had been melted closed. Also in May of 1970 State Department document describes a fallen, unidentified object in Bolivia, depicted in the newspapers as metal and egg-shaped. The list of strange anamolies is long and massive. And yet at every turn our government denies everything. Come on! A flatbed truck goes into the woods in Pennsylvania, in 1965, empty, and comes out with a tarp covering something and the government says nothing was found?

In 1943, the U.S. Navy began conducting tests to degauss the hulls of ships so they could not be damaged or destroyed by magnetic mines.
Coils of copper, rather scarce at that time, were tested in a number of configurations. The final type, deemed suitable for the tests, was a cadeuceus coil wound into a toroid inside the ship’s hull.
The U.S.S Eldridge
When charged, the toroid coil was supposed to demagnetize or degauss the hull. But the engineers and scientists had miscalculated. Something went terribly wrong.
When the toroid coil was charged, an electromagnetic field completely different from that predicted by the engineers was created. This unknown field changed the amount of basic energy contained within the space occupied by the ship. It was increased by an unknown factor.
Material objects remain visible and tangible only in a low energy-density per unit volume of space. If that energy density and charge is increased by a substantial amount, enough to equal an electron, the electrons become indistinguishable from free space. If the energy density and charge are increased beyond the amount required to nullify an electron and a proton, then neither the electron nor the proton could continue to exist in the physical world.
Any slight increase in the field charge at that point would cause the material object to completely dematerialize.
Witnesses later stated that they could see the outline of the Eldridge in the water_the hole where it once was visible_but they were unable to see the ship. It had become invisible!
Moments later, water rushed in to fill the hollow as the ship dematerialized; that is, moved from the physical, visible plane of this world into another dimension, the properties and characteristics of which they could not explain.
Some time later the Eldridge reappeared at Norfolk, Virginia. Many of the sailors aboard were dead, having been burned to ashes by the strong electromagnetic forces in the toroid coil.
Others were alive, some barely, and some had melded into the steel decks and gun tubs of the ship. A few had melded into their nearest shipmates.
Later theories declared that the sailors had joined with their companions and ship structure because the ship had moved in the water and the sailors had moved from their assigned spots some time during the transition from this three dimensional universe to the unknown time/space continuum and back.
They may have panicked and run or they may have been thrownoff balance by the transition. We may never know.
But what is known is that some of the sailors aboard the Eldridge who survived the experiment would begin to smoulder as if burning from the inside out. The required “cure” at that time was a “laying on of hands.” Their shipmates and comrades were instructed to touch the burning sailors to decrease or otherwise change the magnetic fields surrounding them. This “cure” apparently worked to some degree.
Obviously, humans who have undergone such radical electronic modification could not long endure and, indeed, many were reported to have gone mad; other to have died horrible lingering burning deaths.
A Norfolk, Virginia newspaper reported in a small column hidden deep within its pages that two sailors from the Eldridge had been sitting in a bar having drinks when one began to smoulder. His comrade placed his hands on the sailor as instructed and the burning ceased. Then, without warning, the affected sailor stood and walked through the wall of the pub, but did not appear on the other side. He had vanished completely from this space/time and has not been heard from to this day.
The theory of this time/space shift has been expressed by a number of prominent scientists and engineers. It is complicated and fraught with Einstein’s equations of the unified field. To make it easier for the layman to understand I will break it down simply as this:
Using the equations, it has been determined that an infinite energy charge could be produced outside the toroid coil while inside the coil (ship) zero energy charge would be indicated. Inside the ship there is no current flowing through the conductor and, therefore, no magnetic field. Outside the coilthere is an infinite energy charge producing an enormous magnetic field.
The charge outside the ship is seen as Scalar Electrostatic Potential. When this is increased the electrons, then protons, neutrons and all other subatomic particles collapse into the quantum field. The ship and all within the toroid coil will vanish into the quantum field, acquiring other dimensions of space/time/motion in the process.
Witnesses would see the ship vanish and the hole fill with water as the ship transitioned into the quantum field. Inside the ship, however, the universe would appear to be much the same as before, even if it now exists entirely within the quantum field. Its spatial properties will have changed. It can now be in any part of the universe all the time or all of the universe at any time. anywhere and anywhen at once.
Because of the transition, the Eldridge became a probabilistic construct having existence equally probable anywhere in the universe, in all dimensions and times at the same time and same place!
The Eldridge travelled not only through space during the transition, it travelled through time as well. The transition may have been instantaneous or it may have spanned centuries for those on the ship.
The difficulty with time travel in 1943 was that the transition contained within itself unknown factors of probability. One factor states that the faster you travel in time, the more acute the probability curve becomes. Time travellers in 1943 might have ransitioned through several parallel worlds without even knowing it. This theory appears to have some validity since the Eldridge and her crew reappeared in a different location from where they began.
The questions are: How far did they travel on the curve and in what direction? Did they complete a cycle forward in time and
then reappear at Norfolk, Virginia, or did they moved backward in time, encounter neutral time and space, transition to positive time and reappear in 1943 after having experienced a hundred or even a thousand years of cosmic time?
And most important: Was the Eldridge that reappeared in Norfolk the same U.S.S. Eldridge that vanished during the test or was it a parallel ship with parallel crew from another time on a parallel world conducting an identical test?
Project Rainbow in 1943 was an experiment that resulted in the deaths of several sailors because the engineers did not know what effects their toroid fields would produce.
In 1994, however, we can be certain that scientists and engineers know exactly what to expect from time/space transition inside their anti-mass/anti gravity electromagnetic coils.
We see them today, not as ships of the high seas, but as ships of interstellar space; the flying saucers and fiery lights in the midnight skies.
