Speaker 1 (00:07):
Hello, truth seekers, and welcome to Truth Be Told Paranormal,
where we uncover the mysteries of our world and the
worlds beyond. I'm your host, Tony Sweet, and today we're
diving into some fresh and fascinating headlines that have the
UFO community buzzing. Arizona skies are lighting up again, strange orbs,

(00:32):
lights that move against the wind, and reports that even
the military might have had an aircraft damaged by an
unidentified object. Some say these are drones, others swear this
is history repeating itself. Could we be seeing a sequel
to the famous Phoenix Lights of nineteen ninety seven. Tonight

(00:54):
we'll explore what's happening over Arizona, compare it to one
of the most iconic USA faux events in history, dig
into the psychology of why we're so captivated by the unknown,
and ask what's really up there. Stay tuned, So let's

(01:17):
start with what sparked today's episode. In recent weeks, Arizona
residents have been posting videos of glowing orbs in the sky.
Witnesses describe formations hovering silently, then moving in ways no
plane should. At least one report claims an F sixteen
viper was damaged after an encounter with an unidentified aerial object.

(01:43):
Now officials have floated an explanation advanced smuggling drones flying
near the border, But does that really explain everything people
are seeing? Describe one or two witness accounts in detail,
Play short clip if available, or read testimony. What do

(02:06):
you think? Is this just drones or could we be
seeing something much stranger? What do you think? Is this
just drones or could we be seeing something much stranger?
Arizona is no stranger to UFO fame. Flashback to March thirteenth,
nineteen ninety seven the Phoenix Lights. Thousands of people across

(02:27):
the state witnessed massive V shaped formations moving silently across
the night sky. To this day, no official explanation satisfies everyone.
Governor fIF Symington even admitted years later that he himself
saw something inexplicable. That mass sighting became one of the
most documented UFO events in US history. Compare the descriptions

(02:51):
nineteen ninety seven versus now ask rhetorical Are we seeing
history repeat itself? Or is Arizona just prone to unusual
aerial activity? If you live through the Phoenix Lights or
if you've seen anything strange in the skies recently. We

(03:12):
want to hear your story. Now, let's put on our
investigator hats. Skeptics argue these sightings could be advanced drones.
The US border has seen a rise in smuggling technology,

(03:37):
with drones capable of carrying heavy loads and flying and
coordinated patterns. But here's the twist. These drones would need
extremely advanced tech, long battery life, silent engines, unusual flight patterns,
which sounds a lot like well. UFOs compare drone explanation

(03:59):
versus UFO unknowns. Bring in quotes from Pentagon UAP Task
Force reports. Do you buy the drone theory or do
you think this is just the modern excuse for something

(04:21):
we don't understand? Do you buy the drone theory or
do you think this is just the modern excuse for
something we don't understand? Why are we so drawn to
these mysteries? Psychologists say UFOs tap into two primal things,

(04:48):
fear of the unknown and hope for something bigger than ourselves.
In uncertain times wars, political division, climate change, people often
look up quite literally for answers. UFOs provide a mix
of terror and comfort. Maybe We're not alone. Maybe someone's watching.

(05:11):
Maybe we're part of a bigger story. Discuss how mass
sightings build community. Mentioned that even skepticism plays into the fascination.
Think about it. If UFOs are just drones, why are
we still so fascinated. It's because the mystery itself fills
a need. We want to bring you into this conversation.

(05:32):
If you've seen something in the skies, whether in Arizona
or anywhere else, send us your stories. What did you see?
Was it explainable or beyond belief? Read schost listen to
one two listener stories if available. Encourage live chat, social

(05:53):

in to this conversation. If you've seen something in the skies,
whether in Arizona or anywhere else, send us your stories.
So what's happening in Arizona? Are these military drones smugglers

(06:19):
pushing technology to the limit, or is this something otherworldly?
A return of the Phoenix lights. As always, the truth
lies somewhere between what we see and what we believe.
But one thing is certain. The skies over Arizona have
once again become a theater for mystery. Thank you for
