Aliens? Really?
Well no, according to the eminent physicist Stephen Hawking. “If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans,” Link

The Phoenix Lights
Are the Phoenix Lights UFOs? They are unidentified and they are flying so I guess they are UFO’s. The first sightings showed up in March of 1997 over the southwestern states of Arizona and Nevada. There were two distinct events involved in the incident: a triangular formation of lights seen to pass over the state, and a series of stationary lights seen in the Phoenix area.

Hudson Valley UFO’s
Lets leave the southwest alone for a minute and head east, Long before the Phoenix Lights in 1997, the Hudson Valley in New York State was having their own run of unidentified lights. During the summers of 1983 and 1984 the Hudson Valley was plagued by sightings of a gigantic craft, black as the sky, rimmed with bright lights in white, red, or green. It would drift over towns with a steady hum, witnessed by many. It traveled over the Taconic Parkway, Westchester county and parts of Connecticut. The UFO was seen by hundreds of eye witnesses.
The object was described as extremely large, 300-400 yards wide. Often described as triangular with a series of lights. As I read this description all I could think of was the Phoenix Lights.
The FAA and law enforcement blamed local pilots flying in formation but witnesses said is was 1 large craft, not a series of planes and traveling too slow for a plane. It couldn’t be a formation of helicopters because they would make a lot more noise than this craft.
For more details I recommend reading “Night Siege” by J. Allen Hynek, Philip J. Imbrogno and Bob Pratt
Conclusion
So what is the truth about the fantastic light formations in the sky above the Hudson River Valley? Were they aerial stunts performed by sophisticated pranksters? Or did the flying objects come from somewhere beyond the stars?
Maybe Calvin’s got the right idea
I’m with Stephen Hawking. I don’t think I want to be around to meet our Alien Neighbors. Its fun in Science fiction but I can think of so may things that can go wrong in real life .
