On March 13, 1997, the Phoenix Lights incident became one of the most witnessed and documented mass UFO sightings in modern history. Dr. Lynne Kitei, an internationally acclaimed physician and health educator, was a key witness to this phenomenon. Background on Dr. Lynne Kitei Before delving into the Phoenix Lights, it's noteworthy that Dr. Kitei had a distinguished medical career. She was the Chief Clinical Consultant of the Imaging-Prevention-Wellness Center at the Arizona Heart Institute in Phoenix. However, her experiences with the Phoenix Lights led her to shift her focus towards investigating this unexplained phenomenon. The Phoenix Lights Incident On the evening of March 13, 1997, thousands of Arizona residents reported seeing a series of mysterious lights in the sky. These lights appeared in various formations, including a massive triangular shape. Witnesses described the phenomenon as otherworldly, with some reporting feelings of calmness and connectedness during the sighting. ​ Dr. Kitei's Personal Encounters Dr. Kitei's involvement with the Phoenix Lights began even before the 1997 mass sighting. In 1995, she observed three amber-colored orbs hovering in a triangular formation near her home. She described an "eerie silence" during the encounter and felt a presence watching her. These experiences prompted her to document the sightings and delve deeper into understanding them. ​ Investigations and Theories Following the 1997 incident, various explanations were proposed, including military flares and aircraft formations. However, many witnesses, including Dr. Kitei, found these explanations insufficient. She noted that the lights maintained a V-shaped formation while traversing the state for several hours, which contradicted the flare theory. ​ Dr. Kitei's Contributions Dr. Kitei authored the book "The Phoenix Lights: A Skeptic's Discovery That We Are Not Alone" and produced an award-winning documentary titled "The Phoenix Lights: Beyond Top Secret." Through these works, she aims to shed light on the phenomenon and encourage open-minded discussions about unexplained aerial events. ​ In her interviews, Dr. Kitei emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and studying such events without immediate dismissal.
