- Yeah, we saw the same thing.

- That was interesting.

- That was a show, right?

- Yeah, right?

- Guys, you know what that was?

- Those were UFOs!

- Oh, come on.

Those were UFOs! That's what a UFO is!

You guys, I think that's our cue to clean up.

- We gotta... Right? Come on.

- Are you kidding me? Dad!

Yeah, it was probably, um...

I don't know, military.

Yeah, we've got to get the presents, Josh.

Josh, put the camera down

- and just help your mother clean up, okay?

- Soph...

what do you think that was?

I don't know!

Holy moly.

You okay, Soph?

You all right?

Yeah.

That was the Air Force, Dad!

Well, I hope it was our Air Force.

Grandpa.

That was amazing!

When these lights appeared over Phoenix,

people immediately thought:

UFOs. Outer space.

- We were standing about here?

- Right about here.

- Whoa!

- Whoa!

They went just over the valley

toward South Mountain

in like a...

what seemed to be a "V" formation,

- It was definitely interesting.

- Mm-hmm.

So far, the military

hasn't claimed any testing

in the area from nearby Luke Air Force Base,

which leaves many residents wondering

"What were those mysterious lights?"

It seemed like the Air Force didn't know

what it was, and if that's true,

then what was it, you know? I don't know.

And now I'll ask

Officer Stein and his colleagues

to escort the accused into the room so that

we may all look upon the guilty party.

Don't get him too close to me, please.

This just goes to show

that you guys are entirely too serious.

No one really took it that

seriously from what I remember.

Except Josh.

Would you say he was sort of

single-minded about stuff,

like, once he got an idea?

Yeah. Yeah, there was no stopping him.

Peeeeeew. Peeeew.

Excuse me, sir, do you have

a second to talk about the...

- Nope.

- ...Phoenix Lights? Okay, thank you.

- It was just a "V" like this.

- And you saw that yourself?

It was just a "V" like that, man.

And we were like...

and we were like,

"Hey, man, check that out, man."

I know... UFOs will come

at us... and attack one day.

- You think they'll attack?

- And if that happ...

And if that happens, we will be prepared.

So, did you see the lights?

No, not personally.

Okay, so you saw them on, like, the news?

- Yeah.

- Awesome. Channel 3?

No.

It doesn't matter.

Uh, do you think it was a UFO?

I don't know. Maybe.

- Okay, so, um...

- Can I ask you something now?

- Yeah.

- Can I give you some advice?

- Umm, sure. Yeah.

- This is an interview, right?

- Yeah.

- So maybe you should ask me

some open-ended questions.

You know, like, things that don't

just warrant yes or no answers.

Just, like, get me to talk...
