Strange and otherwise terrifying things tend to happen on Friday the 13th, at least according to superstition and a certain horror franchise featuring a machete-wielding maniac, but it was on Thursday the 13th of March, in 1997, that the residents of Phoenix, Arizona experienced a good deal of unusual activity. On that night, an unidentified flying object was spotted and filmed by thousands of people in both Phoenix and Sonora, Mexico, and to date, the strange v-shaped pattern of lights has never quite been explained – at least not in any sort of satisfying way.
Leave it to a horror movie to come along and offer up a possible explanation.

Some leaked footage has surfaced from the upcoming sci-fi UFO film The Phoenix Incident, which is based on actual events on 1997 in which there was a massive UFO sighting in Phoenix Az. This kind of stuff absolutely fascinates me because of its unexplained nature. I also love all the crazy conspiracy theories surrounding these UFO sightings like what happened in Phoenix. It cool that we are getting a movie that explores this unexplained phenomenon.
The footage you see here focuses on Jacob Reynolds who is one of four men that mysteriously disappeared during the incident on March 13th, 1997. The tape gives us a look at the aspirations, relationships, and impact that he had on his family, friends, and communities.
