USA Today, re March 13, 1997

    Something happened in-the skies over Arizona the night
    of March 13. No one is sure what it was but thousands saw it
    dozens videotaped it and people all over the state are haunted
    by it still. Officials at Luke Air Force Base in nearby Glendale
    are bombarded with calls for an investigation, even though
    the US. government is officially out of the UFO business. ...
    A Gallup poll last September found that 72% of Americans
    think there is life on other planets. And 71% said they
    think the U.S. government knows more about UFOs than it's
    telling. ... First report came from retired police officer from
    Paulen, 6o miles north of Phoenix. Calls came in from
    Wickenburg,, Glendale, Phoenix, Scottdale and Tempe
    Arizona. .... Event lasted 106 minutes. ... Witnesses agree
    that
        1. It was enormous. The most conservative estimate
           describes it as three football fields long. Computer
           analysis puts it at 6,000 feet, or more than a mile.
        2. It made no sound.
        3. It moved slowly over Phoenix, cruising at 30 mph.
           Several times it hovered in place in the sky.
