(4,679 posts)23. My experience
I was visiting in South Florida when my cousins and I saw it. It was large, silvery, and moving south at a good pace. We got in my rental car and began chasing it (we were young). We saw red and blue lights flashing on its sides. I ran 2 red lights - we werent going to let this one get away without a close view! I almost had an accident after running a stop sign. I was driving pretty fast. Finally, it stopped. We got closer. We held our breaths in anticipation of getting a good look at this otherworldly craft. Then we saw it!
On its side ran something like Stay at Hilton Hotels. It was the Goodyear blimp.

I saw the "Phoenix Lights", as did thousands. I remember the pictures in the papers.

If someone tells you they doubt your story, that does not mean they are "upset"

I've not been fortunate to see an unexplainable object or craft but have zero doubt they exist.
