New Arizona LOWFI bureau chief

   Hello Arizona LOWFI enthusiasts. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dee Andrew and I am your new Arizona LOWFI bureau chief. It is my hope that I can keep you informed on all things Fortean in Arizona. I have only been living in Arizona for 5 years now but, my husband David was born here. I have been enjoying learning about the rich history and people of this beautiful state, and of course all the strange things that happen around us.
 
  Just recently I read a UFO report from the Phoenix area of an object that had 1 steady light on each end with blinking lights on it’s underside and, of an undetermined size. A few days later my husband was at work talking with a co-worker who told how he and his wife were heading north on highway 51 a few evenings before and, saw an object matching the same description from the UFO report. His wife had a cell phone camera and was going to take a picture of it. Since it was heading towards them she waited until it was almost overhead. As they looked at the object, to their surprise, it turned out to be a small airplane with flashing advertising on the underside of the wings. So this goes to show that sometimes things are strange and unexplainable and sometime things are explainable but odd.
 
  I have a wide and varied interest in the strange and unusual but my primary interest is the UFO phenomenon and it‘s history. I host an internet radio program called Eye to the Sky: They UFO Synopsis. Sometimes I will stray from the UFO topic on my program and discuss cryptozoology, out of place artifacts, and archeological mysteries.
 
  So come with me and together we will travel the road of this strange Fortean world we live in.

REPORTS ARE COMING IN…

I have also noticed a spike in the reports from Arizona for the past 20 months. By many credible and understandably excited and wondering folks.

“Whoa. What WAS that?!!” are questions that seem to be growing hereabouts. That’s great, as far as I’m concerned. Indeed, most reports I’ve read are as objective and factual as the reporter could be. Most reporters (lay folk, not journalists) try to separate their feelings from observations. This, too, is greatly appreciated.

People are paying attention, and are not reluctant to report.
 
 But I really get tired of the “grabber” headlines and hyperbole. This has dogged us since Kenneth Arnold mad the first current era UFO report in 1947, just prior to the legendary Roswell incident.

What he clearly reported was a fast, intermittently moving, orderly group of flying wing-shaped objects. At a loss for words to describe this unusual aerial motion, he stated that the objects moved “in a skipping fashion, like a saucer skipping over water”. Someone grabbed the saucer reference and ran with it, even though it had nothing to do with the objects’ shapes.

Lois Lane to Jimmy Olson:

“Remember, Jimmy. You have an instant to grab the readers’ attention. Real Reporters call that instant ‘The Headline’”.

“Gee, whiz, Miss Lane. I’m on it!”.

Since then, many others have reported similar odd, shifting or skipping flight of some UFOs. A Trekkie would say “phasing in and out “. I really can not find much material on these types of observations, but it seems to be a recurring element of the phenomena.

There is no credible reference to a “saucer” crash at Roswell, as there were no witnesses we know of. Only strange debris from some kind of manufactured craft. No public information exists as to the object’s original shape. Only materials. But by then, the Arnold sighting and mislabeling had set in.

 Sharon, I too could not help but connect some recent sighting events with an increase of “readiness” from our Armed Forces. Testing and training are SO centered here in the Southwest..

The object recovery reports from Needles seems to point in this direction (pun intended). But was River Bob firebombed?

And Bob (not River Bob), your breakdown of the EBX High Altitude Balloon flight and its “viewing window” over AZ & NM is spot on. Sure. That could very well have accounted for those reports. Thanks for looking up the details of altitude, flight path, time of day, etc. Or did you already know this? And would this test platform possibly look totally unlike a recreational hot air balloon?

And I’m glad that folks are paying attention enough to ask the questions.

Yet, I believe that there might be more to some of these sightings than their uninvestigated whole might imply.

Sure, most can be quietly accounted for.

I could state again that ANY three points of light in the night sky form a triangle.

From any viewpoint, except when observed as a straight line.

For at least as long as it takes for a person or webcam to see it.

Sure, it’s a weather event. But what caused that?

 

Conversely, I could take that image, copyright it, sell it, even, using gripping jargon like

” The single most import series of REAL photos of ALLEGED UFOs EVER” while hoping that someone might never question the use of the words “real, alleged, unidentified” in the same breath.

But I wouldn’t.

But I do take seriously reports from three adjacent police departments regarding a ground chase of a “Triangle-shaped, silent, huge craft” that cruised those same towns’ skies…

My own best recent experience was just like the above, but I was able to whittle it down to a rare B2 Bomber nighttime flyover. At very low altitude. Tiny little running lights were the tipoff, and the almost inaudible engines. Those special engines by GE are quiet, and sound very distinctive.

 But it was WAY cooler to me when it was “unidentified”.

 

Others defy explanation.

Anomalous object noticed after development. Yes, the lens was clean.
Object above the Sun Dog is not a lens flare, either.

Some local, recent sightings s above seem to be more biological than mechanical in nature. I’ve heard some good arguments for the theory of unknown aerial life forms… then again, does that amoeba/jellyfish appearance come from a type of light-bending camo? We have this ability now, why wouldn’t “They”?    Or is “They” Us?

 Some objects filmed or sighted may never be explained. Beyond this, events in our lives may defy description. Some things will always be unknowable.

I also have no answers for my neighbors, though, who have seen their reasonably happy lives disrupted by a series of abductions spanning years. With not even their children safe from these terrifying, unknown, repeated events, even their basic rights to security and liberty have been stripped away. All I can do is listen, talk with them, offer them others to contact who might know this phenomena better. Beyond my ken, but it’s there with them nonetheless. They’re showing some amazing fortitude in all this, and can even joke about “It”, but they’d clearly rather not have this in their lives.
