The Phoenix UFO video has mystified many people in the valley who witnessed the mysterious event. There are even Phoenix UFO videos that have been replayed and analyzed in order to understand the phenomenon. The answer is still as unclear as it was when people first witnessed it in the sky. UFO pictures reveal that the lights were of the purest form and appear to be nothing equivalent to what is found on earth. The UFO pics have been studied by the SciFi channel in hopes to decipher the mystery behind the Phoenix UFO video. Though alien pictures weren't received specifically from that incident, many people believe that aliens were the reason why the Phoenix UFO video exists in the first place.

Many claim that since the area is near Luke's Air Force Base, it was some sort of military experiment. Others state that this was a hot air balloon. Both reasons were debunked by the Scifi channel special on the Phoenix UFO video.

Many witnesses also claimed to be experts concerning aircrafts and many people had never seen the triangular formation or lighting effects in their lives.
