5.0 out of 5 stars Publishers Review, March 10, 2002

By	Write To Print (Merrimack, NH) - See all my reviews

Straight forward and fascinating look that separates the truth from the myth behind the lights that appeared over Phoenix AZ in 1997.

The Phoenix Lights, a series of UFO sightings that occurred on March 13, 1997 over the state of Arizona from sightings in the Northwest part of the state down a path to the Southeast and witnessed by thousands in the greater Phoenix area on the night that residents were out scanning the sky for the comet Hale-Bopp has gone down in history as one of the most significant mass sighting events of the century.

William Hamilton personally witnessed one of the numerous UFO events on that night and proceeded with an investigation of the witness reports along with Michael Tanner and Jim Diletosso of Village Labs where we could computer analyze video tapes of the lights, interview over 100 of the witnesses, and plot the times and locations of the sightings on a master map of the area. From this we concluded that up to ten UFO events had occurred on that day in separate locations at various times and that the reports on television, the stories in the newspapers, and the later Discovery Channel specials on the Phoenix Lights never told the whole story or showed the vast range of different objects seen on that signal occasion.

Some of the largest and most impressive unconventional airborne objects flew over one of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States and the lack of response from the Air Force and local and state governments was dismissive as well as ridiculing the reports by observant witnesses. This book presents the whole story for the first time including the attempts to debunk the eyewitness testimony when the accounts show this mass sighting event to be one of the century's unsolved mysteries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the time!~, November 3, 2001

By	Don Quaker (Ohio) - See all my reviews

Some say there is no science behind UFO sightings. I say they should read this book. After reading this book I know there is credible scientificly based facts behind the Phoenix lights.

Evidence doesn't lie. This book is great!

3.0 out of 5 stars The ONLY worthwhile account., September 20, 2005

By	M. Packo (Stratford, CT United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Thus far, Mr. Hamilton's documentation of this series of UFO sightings is definitive.

Why?

Because he sticks with the facts, outlines them succinctly, provides a readable timeline and does not stray
into unnecessary speculation.

This book offers a methodical and intriguing reconstruction
of the bulk of sightings, based on interviews with many of the eyewitnesses.

Fascinating details you will not find anywhere else, intelligently arranged
without any tedious intrusion of authorial ego or New Age-ish blatherings.

So, until a completely updated, thoroughly scientific
and exhaustively detailed documentation of these
ongoing sightings is ever published, Mr. Hamilton's book will remain the single best
and ONLY investigation in book form
that deserves your time and money and attention.
