The Phoenix Lights Mystery - Was it an UFO? Or something else?

3.13.1997 //Thursday

.: What happened that night?

[ Note to the reader: We ask you to read the following information as you would read a news article. Don't try to look for little green men hiding behind doors, voices from another world, hidden messages or encrypted information. This is just a brief account of where we are and what we are ready to communicate to you. ]

The night of March 13, 1997 four people lived through what we call "The Phoenix Lights Experience."

Witness number one is a Catholic Priest from Phoenix.
Witnesses number two and number three are husband and wife.
Witness number four is a woman in her late twenties.

We have been able to locate three witnesses, except for witness number four.

The Priest no longer lives in Phoenix and now resides in the northeast of the United States. We have talked extensively with him and while he prefers to maintain his anonymity at least for the time being, we have recorded him on tape were he talks about his experience. This tape will be shown shortly in this website and you'll be able to judge for yourself.

The husband and wife now live in Europe and while we had conversations with them, the husband has no desires to talk, fearing public humiliation, and he has even threatened to sue us if we even hint who he is. He is well known and a simple search of his name in Altavista produces a good number of links. His wife, on the other hand has expressed her willingness to disclose information and also verify certain events, but she finally decided to go along with her husband and the communication with them has stopped. We regret it, but we understand.

From witness number four we have, of all things, a piece of cloth impregnated with her blood. This was found in the box, among a number of other items that we're not ready to disclose right now. We performed a DNA test on the material to verify that it was actually human blood and the result was positive.

The entire experience started at around 7:00 pm and lasted until the early hours of the morning of March 14. Most of the experience happened in the Priest's Church.

Please, we beg you not to make any conclusions at this point and just bear with us. These details are not that important when compared to the bigger picture, which is a fundamental discovery with implications so deep that could, and probably will, change your life. We know that this is a huge claim, but it is also a responsible one, and regardless of criticism, doubts or accusations directed at us, we feel that the end result will be rewarding and redeeming.

.: Why can't we tell the whole story at once and be done with it?

As of this writing we're questioning and verifying information and we're trying to present to you enough without diminishing the impact of the entire story when is completely put into perspective. Of course we know more than we share, but ask yourself this question: Would the Mona Lisa have the kind of impact that has on people if it was shown as an unfinished sketch?
For these obvious reasons we are concealing information, but we believe that once we present to you the entire story you and others will benefit greatly. You might take a second look at the Mona Lisa and see things that you have never seen before.
Is this an exaggeration? Will leave that judgment to you.

.: The message

We're convinced that once the story is told in its entirety the discussion will move to a different level. Details such as when exactly a particular formation showed up, or whether someone saw a flare or not, or that so and so did an analysis of a picture, etc. will become unimportant.

The message behind what happened in Phoenix will move to the forefront of the arguments, and perhaps many skeptics will at least see seeds of truth that right now are hidden behind the rabble and unsubstantiated claims from many sources.

The implications of the message we believe will help many people. That's a huge claim to make, but we're ready to substantiate it. If you're not moved or changed in any way and still believe that this is a fabrication or a hoax, then we will respect you for that and perhaps it is not your fault, but ours, for not making our point better. At the very least, what we have found will introduce a new element to the discussion where people from every walk of lives and beliefs will be able to discuss ideas at a different level, and possibly agree on something, rather than disagreeing on everything.

.: About other investigations of the Phoenix Lights.

We want to categorically say that we don't endorse nor are associated with any of the investigators or investigations of the Phoenix Lights. One thing we won't do is show you a chronology of events (see the links section) or whether a light came from this angle or change into a particular formation. That kind of information is meaningless. Perhaps amusing for some, or beneficial for others to write a book or thesis or to add content to a website, but it doesn't even come close with what actually happened, why it happened and what are the implications of what happened.

.: Confessions of the Priest

[ Note to the reader: We ask you to read the following information as you would read someone's letter. Don't try to look for little green men hiding behind doors, voices from another world, hidden messages or encrypted information. These are excerpts from a taped interview with witness number one: a Catholic Priest. ]

I remember March 13 in particular because that day Mother Theresa had to step down as the leader of the Missionaries of Charity due to her poor health. I met Mother Theresa twice. On both occasions her presence and her words helped me with my faith.

I had doubts... Regrets... At times I didn't know why I was a Priest. Why I became a Priest. I regretted having not pursued a different life.

Money. It was a little bit of that… It was money. I wanted to have good things.

My faith was pretty much intact... I doubted my religion. I doubted dogma itself. I doubted the details. The myths.

Skeptics say that God is a creation of man's imagination.
I had similar thoughts about religion. Religion was my problem, not God... At the same time I was a Priest of one of the most influential religions in the world. I just couldn't imagine God being Catholic... or Jewish, or Buddhist or Muslim, or whatever. God had to be beyond that. God couldn't be that human.

Native Americans say that the white man goes into his church and talks about Jesus. The native goes to his teepee, and talks to Jesus.

I'm telling you all this because what happened that night affected... that's not the word... transformed. It transformed me… it helped me put my whole life into perspective.

I'm telling you this to give you an idea of who I was prior to what happened.

No. I haven't told anyone about that night. We decided to keep it to ourselves.

I don't think it was a selfish decision.
Unless you talk to someone very close to you, someone that trusts you, you can't expect people to believe you.
I always thought that if Jesus was to come back one day no one would believe him, especially his most devoted advocates. How do you expect that they’d believe me?

I wasn't going to sit on the sidelines and do nothing but I had a different plan.

Actually we didn't talk for a while. Several months later we’ve gotten together and shared intimate thoughts.

The theories

I watched and read everything about the lights. Every theory, every speculation, every commentary, everything. And what I saw was that a lot of people were talking about things and missing the point.

Take for instance the military. They say that they were flares. Ok. You know. They are absolutely right… The lights that many people saw the night of March 13 in Phoenix were flares thrown by the military.

Why are you surprised?

Have you ever seen a magic show?
A magician performs a magic trick and what do you see? A bird that mysteriously pops up out of a hat or something like that. In order for the magician to perform his trick he has to divert your attention. Many things happen behind the magician’s hands, but you only saw what he wanted you to see.

I have no reasons to disagree with the military that they threw flares that night. And I’m convinced that that was what many people saw.

No, I’m not joking.

The fact that some people saw flares has nothing to do with what other people saw. That’s the diversion, you see.

That night there were flares, there were also military airplanes and there was something else.

The arguments then make no sense because you can't possibly convince a person that saw flares that what he or she saw were not flares, and to convince the guy that saw something else that what he saw were flares. Both persons disagree because they saw different things and they are both right.

There was a diversion that night.
I don't know if it was intended or a coincidence or both.

No, I won’t speculate. There are enough conspiracy theories out there. I'm not interested in that.

You know, people are lied to so much about so many things, bombarded with so much propaganda, brainwashed on a daily basis. From who should they vote for, to what they should wear, to what toothpaste they should buy, to what is good for them to eat… I think it's time that they know. They should know.

The experience

You know, for a while I tried to forget. I tried to selectively remember some things of that night…

(He looks down, away from the camera. He seems on the verge of crying but trying to contain his emotions. He wipes his eyes with the palm of his hands. Looks at the camera, but collapses. He cries. After a moment he lifts his hand indicating to stop the camera)

It was painful. It was joyful. It was all those things. How can you describe it with words? I can’t.

What is in the box?
The contents of the box are like pieces in a puzzle. We have been debating on how to present this to everybody and we feel that we have come up with the best way to present it. We just ask you to be a little patient.

Who is analyzing what was found in the box?
We are consulting a team of experts from highly accredited institutions and from diverse fields and backgrounds.

Where is the box?
The box is in Phoenix, AZ in an undisclosed location. Since its discovery we have been busy studying and verifying its contents in order to put the entire sequence of events in the best possible format so everyone can understand it.

Where are the guys that found the box? Why are their faces hidden?
Ramon and Juan are illegal aliens and wish to remain anonymous. Their names have been changed for their protection. In September 2000, Juan was caught by Immigration officers and was deported back to Mexico. Ramon remains in the US with his sister, who is also illegal, and her son Marcos who was born in Chandler, AZ and is an US citizen.

How did you know about the box?
Ramon’s sister works as a bookkeeper for a friend of ours. She confided in him about the box and its contents and asked him for advice on what to do with it. Our friend talked to us about what she had told him and we agreed to meet at her house. When Marcos brought the box from his room and opened it on the kitchen table, we realized that what we had in front of our eyes was something that was going to change our lives, and perhaps, the lives of many others.

Did you pay them anything for the box? Who owns the box now?
Yes. We compensated them for the box, even though they didn’t want a penny. We can say that we own the box now, but it’s a little bit more complex than that since it was found in someone’s property, even though it was supposed to be thrown out. In addition to that there is something else that we will explain in due time.

What is the plan?
The plan is very simple. We will reconstruct live on the Internet what happened the night of March 13, 1997 in Phoenix, AZ.

Can you give us a little hint of what happened?
Well, It’s nothing that you have heard before, but since we want to tell the whole story with all the details and accurately, we can’t do it here, right now. Our plan is to reconstruct, live on the Internet, what happened the night of March 13, 1997 in Phoenix, AZ. The announcement of this event will come shortly.

Why can't you tell us who the lead investigators are?
The experts we commissioned have agreed to keep their identities hidden until the investigation is completed. The reason is simple: we want to avoid phone calls, emails, harassment, or any other type of contact that may conflict or jeopardize the investigation and their privacy. However, the lead investigator, who has maintained a diary since the beginning of our research, has agreed to have her writings posted in our website on a daily basis.

Why can't you tell us what's in the box now?
We feel that if we just show what's in the box (and we will, eventually) without doing any investigation or research at all, we would be missing an opportunity to resolve the Phoenix Lights mystery once and for all. Also, at the risk of propagating new theories and speculation we have decided to isolate this investigation allowing all discoveries to be responsibly analyzed and dissected. After our work is done, anyone would be free to draw any conclusions.

1/31/2006 7:03 AM – PHOENIX

After several years of research and investigation, and several hundred hours of footage, we are in a position to soon reveal the most compeling findings about the greatest mystery that humanity ever encountered. The answers go beyond the phoenix lights.

2/27/2002 10:43 AM – PHOENIX

The puzzle of the Phoenix Lights took a variety of turns in the last few months. On December 2nd 2001, we received a fax from someone claiming to have some information to share with us. What separated this tip from the hundreds of pieces of information that we had received in the last few months was that the fax included a piece of paper with something written on it. We immediately recognized the handwriting and we called the sender back. We had one question: “Where did you get it from?” The answer confirmed our suspicions. Right away we made arrangements to meet.

You don’t really need all the pieces in a puzzle to begin to visualize the picture that it represents but that simple piece of paper gave us a deeper insight, a little more detail, into the bigger picture.

At the moment of this discovery we were in the midst of preparing and planning the re-enactment of the events that occurred in Phoenix in 1997. Since then we decided to include this evidence and the events around it since we believe it will give a greater insight in the understanding of what occurred in that city.

Is there an easy way to summarize what actually happened the night of March 13? Frankly no, because it’s not a black or white answer; it has grays and colors, but mostly because it provides answers to bigger and more important questions.

In the past few months we also noticed that the Vatican is openly “admitting” certain possibilities. That’s an interesting position and a welcome one. Let us predict here that in the next few years the Church will make more announcements that will validate what we will present to you in the re-enactment.
