We take our second deep dive into the topic of UFOs and government cover-ups!

On March 13, 1997 a huge flying object was reported by thousands of people across Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Sonora, Mexico. The air force scrambled fighter jets to investigate. Local and national news stations covered the event, which became known as “The Phoenix Lights.” It was arguably the most important UFO story of the 1990s.

Former Governor Fife Simington (yes that’s a real name) wants everyone to know that he also saw the Phoenix lights that night. He just didn’t say anything at the time because he did not want to cause a panic. To help diffuse tensions, he held a news conference where he brought out a guy dressed as an alien (typical gray and not a reptilian because don’t be ridiculous) and everyone laughed.

Now, 20 years later, Fife is telling anyone who will listen that he is positive it was a UFO and for sure otherworldly. He’s semi-sorta-kind-of sorry that some people had hurt feelings over the press conference and thought he was making fun of UFOs – but hey you guys it was funny and really I’m like one of the cool kids and I had to protect the city of Phoenix because that was my job and I’m talking about it now so where’s my hero-award?
