After Fife Symington, Governor of Arizona at the time, finally told he saw the Phoenix UFO first-hand, althought at the time he had held a press conference to mock ideas of alien visitors, it is Holywood celebrity Ken Russell who came forward, 20 years after the event, as another witness of the famous "Phoenix lights."
Kurt Russell is a well known American actor, and also a private pilot, and on March 13, 1997, he was flying into the city of Phoenix and witnessed te phenomenon first hand. He shared his story in an filmed interview aired on the BBC English TV channel on May 29, 2017.
He told:
"We're on approach and I saw six lights over the airport in absolute uniform, in a V shape... It's unidentified, it is flying and it's 6 objects... That was the most viewed UFO event, over 20,000 people saw that."
Russell said that when he saw the six lights and realized they were something he did not identify, he called the airport to report it and they answered that they had nothing on the radar. He landed, taxied the plane, and later took off back to Los Angeles.
His plane was "Bonanza Two Tango Sierra", he was the pilot and he was with two other people including his son Oliver Hudson..
He never said a word of it, and did not think about it at all, until two years later, when he saw a TV show about UFOs that covered the "Phoenix lights."
The show mentioned a report about the Phoenix lights by a pilot and he thought that he was this pilot; however when he looked into his flights log he found out he had written nothing about it; he thought that was the weirdest part - having pushed the whole thing out of his memory.
He concluded:
"It's just unidentified, it's flying and it's an object."
