Symington's sighting was first revealed to California filmmaker James Fox in an August on-camera interview, to be included in the re-release of Fox’s 2003 UFO documentary “Out of the Blue,” co-produced with Tim Coleman and Boris Zubov and narrated by Peter Coyote. On camera, Fox played Symington a taped message from constituent and witness Stacey Roads who said the craft she saw was so massive that an opened newspaper would not block it out from view. “Is this still a matter of ridicule to him [Symington]? After he came out on TV making us all look a little foolish? Or has he taken a new stance on this?” she queried. His full response, first made public in Kean's story, will be featured in the 2007 release of "Out of the Blue."

Former Arizona governor says he saw ‘Phoenix Lights’ UFO

Former Arizona Governor Fife Symington now states that he witnessed the huge “Phoenix Lights” UFO ten years ago, according to a published report by respected investigative journalist Leslie Kean.

In an article published Sunday, March 18, 2007, Kean reports that Symington claims that he saw a large triangular "craft of unknown origin" with lights.

"It was dramatic. And it couldn't have been flares because it was too symmetrical. It had a geometric outline, a constant shape," Symington is quoted as saying.

Kean obtained the statements from Symington in an exclusive interview from Phoenix. The former governor also said, "It was enormous and inexplicable. Who knows where it came from? A lot of people saw it, and I saw it too."

Symington also told Kean that he called the commander at nearby Luke Air Force Base on the far west side of metropolitan Phoenix as well as the top general of the Arizona National Guard. Symington also checked with the head of the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the state police agency about the huge mysterious object.

The former governor says they were “perplexed” and offered no explanation.

Arizona was on the brink of hysteria, Symington told Kean. So, six days later, on March 19, he and his staff staged a phony press conference in which an aide dressed up like an alien and was escorted before reporters in handcuffs.

“I never felt that the overall situation was a matter of ridicule,” Symington now says. “I wanted them to lighten up and calm down, so I introduced a little levity.”

Man, can we cool it with the Art Bell-a-thon? Christ, if I wanted to believe in government conspiracies, they'd at least have something to do with JFK instead of glowing orbs.

More than that, can we cool it with the posting and running ****? I thought there was a rule in place that stated that you should at least express an opinion, not just copy and paste some stuff.

In other news, I recommend visiting alt.art.bell or alt.government.conspiracies or even alt.I.believe.any.old.stuff.
