On an unassuming evening in March 1997, thousands of witnesses in Arizona and surrounding states observed strange lights in the sky. The famous incident, known today as "The Phoenix Lights," remains a staple of modern UFO studies... but is there a deeper story behind this classic "best evidence" encounter?

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we take a careful look at the Phoenix Lights mystery, as well as recent sightings of "mystery drones," and how biased viewpoints that treat the subject either skeptically or entirely credulously often lead to the creation of "myths of the space age," where no real resolution results. Can such analysis be applied to UAP research in the future in ways that promote better research and more case resolutions?
