We explore his 2016 feature The Phoenix Incident, a found‑footage thriller inspired by one of the most widely witnessed UFO events in modern American history: The Phoenix Lights.

🌌 The Phoenix Lights: Real‑World Event
On the night of March 13, 1997, thousands of residents across Arizona and Nevada reported seeing a series of unexplained lights in the sky between 7:30 PM and 10:30 PM MST. Witnesses described:

A massive, silent craft shaped like a carpenter’s square

Five stationary lights arranged along its leading edge

A slow, gliding movement that blocked out the stars

No conventional aircraft behavior or sound

The event remains one of the most documented and debated UFO sightings in U.S. history.
