"I Know What I Saw", the acclaimed follow-on UFO documentary to "Out of the Blue" by investigative film maker James Fox has just been released on DVD. Phoenix features prominently in the compelling examination of covert U.S. Government investigation of UFOs, due to the extraordinary testimony of the witnesses to the March 13, 1997 Phoenix Lights mass UFO sightings event. Film maker Fox will be speaking Saturday at 1:30 PM at the Phoenix MUFON May meeting at the Vision Quest book store in Scottsdale about the film and the issues it addresses.
"I Know What I Saw" gets its title from the poignant comment by Phoenix Lights witness Sue Watson, who in a fit of exasperation points out that there is no way to hide the reality of a 1500 foot silent, unidentified black object floating above Camelback mountain. The only weapons available to the various organizations responsible to the public with which to respond to the witnesses without admitting the existence of absurdly advanced technology operating in Earth's biosphere are silence, denial and ridicule.

It was the apparent ridicule of thousands of witnesses by then-Gov. Fife Symington in a now-infamous press conference that rankled Watson, who wonders out loud in the film why the powers that be can't just come out and admit what she saw with her own eyes.
Watson is not alone. In the film, Fox, along with investigative journalist Leslie Kean, travels the world to uncover the same basic story that USAF General Samford gave in a 1952 press conference. World wide, credible witnesses give testimony of relatively incredible events. Fox backs up his selections where possible with cross referenced witnesses, radar and cockpit data, photographs and the rare bit of video.
Half of the proceeds will go towards a screening in Washington D.C. where Congressional members from both sides could interact with witnesses after viewing the documentary. This event would demonstrate a more responsible policy in Washington as well as educate the media on the serious and real nature of the phenomenon.
Time and time again what is uncovered in James Fox's odyssey for the truth is the fact the that the US Government, while officially claiming -- rather absurdly -- that it does not investigate Unidentified Flying Object reports because it somehow knows that an unidentified flying object is not a threat to national security without investigating it -- is indeed deeply interested in both finding out as much as it can about the continued incursions into US airspace, military installations and nuclear weapons storage facilities and in keeping all the evidence it can from the citizens of the country.
The official stance of the U.S. Air Force is preposterous and counter-intuitive on the face of it. Fox doggedly tracks down the witnesses to events like the Bentwaters AFB landings, the Alaskan 747 mothership sighting and the Jersey islands airliner sighting. In the end, it is clear that the UFO phenomenon is something real, something of intense interest to the government and something advanced beyond all belief. But, faced with the simple heartfelt testimony of a Ricky Sorrel or a Trig Johnston, the radar traces and the cockpit conversation, the point blank assertions of Mercury Astronaut Gordon Cooper, the rational mind has to consider changing its belief system.
'Who are ya gonna believe?", asks FAA investigator John Callahan, "The US Government, or your lyin' eyes?"
Too much evidence, too many witnesses, too many reports exist for there to be any but the Occams-Razor simple conclusion that something far advanced beyond human conception is operating in Earth's biosphere.

Fife Symington admitted Phoenix UFO sighting 'Challenged his reality" during a 2007 press conference.
The sad part is that the evidence seldom gets the thoughtful even-handed treatment as it does in Fox's film. While there can be no doubt of Fox's private conviction in persisting to address the subject, he never lets that overwhelm his public presentation, which is scrupulously bounded by the conventional paradigm. James Fox has mastered the art of speaking to the audience, not at them, a rare gift among those trying to change a consensus paradigm.
For those who can't believe what they have not seen or have not read the literature or who have never taken the subject seriously there can be no better introduction to the concept that humanity is being visited – if not cohabited with – by advanced beings than James Fox's fine film, 'I Know What I Saw".
The process of social disclosure where by the citizenry self-educates itself out of the propaganda cocoon imposed by the military-industrial complex could not be better served than if everyone with a rational curiosity were to buy a copy of the DVD, invite a half dozen friends over to the home media center, watch it respectfully and then have a discussion. Nine times out of ten, someone in the room would eventually admit to a sighting or an experience they have kept private for fear of ridicule. And from that admission that someone you know knows what they saw would come the shift in understanding no amount of political or media acculturation can prevent. Fox says it best in the final moments of the film.
"Maybe someone involved the US government knows the origin of these craft, but I don't. If they are ours, then someone has been hiding revolutionary technology for over 50 years. If any of them are not man-made, then we are not alone." – James Fox
The DVD is recommended viewing by the Phoenix UFO Examiner and even more so is the time spent to attend Fox's lecture on Saturday to Phoenix MUFON. Buy a copy. Attend the lecture.
