A medical doctor who witnessed the unexplained mass sighting of what’s called the Phoenix Lights throughout Arizona 25 years ago said the phenomenon is real.
Lynne Kitei, founder of the Phoenix Lights Network, witnessed the unidentified flying objects on March 13, 1997. Thousands of people saw “a silent, mile-long, V-shaped formation of lights slowly gliding overhead,” the Phoenix Lights Network said.
The sighting remains unexplained.
“Even though we may not have the technology yet to define what these things are, it doesn't mean they're not real,” Kitei said to ABC15. “It's important we get this out in the open. That's one of the reasons I came forward. Enough already with the ridicule, laughing, and the snickering. And the discrediting. Something is going on that is real ... so we have to get this out in the open and address it, accept it, and study it so we can find out not only who is driving these things but move forward in our own evolution.”
Kitei was an internationally acclaimed physician and award-winning health educator before pursuing investigations of the Phoenix Lights, according to her biography.
She has written books and produced a documentary about the lights. The paperback version of her book, “The Phoenix Lights: A Skeptic's Discovery That We Are Not Alone,” is available at Amazon.com.
