Phoenix Forgotten Page #2

Except Josh.

Would you say he was sort of

single-minded about stuff,

like, once he got an idea?

Yeah. Yeah, there was no stopping him.

Peeeeeew. Peeeew.

Excuse me, sir, do you have

a second to talk about the...

- Nope.

- ...Phoenix Lights? Okay, thank you.

- It was just a "V" like this.

- And you saw that yourself?

It was just a "V" like that, man.

And we were like...

and we were like,

"Hey, man, check that out, man."

I know... UFOs will come

at us... and attack one day.

- You think they'll attack?

- And if that happ...

And if that happens, we will be prepared.

So, did you see the lights?

No, not personally.

Okay, so you saw them on, like, the news?

- Yeah.

- Awesome. Channel 3?

No.

It doesn't matter.

Uh, do you think it was a UFO?

I don't know. Maybe.

- Okay, so, um...

- Can I ask you something now?

- Yeah.

- Can I give you some advice?

- Umm, sure. Yeah.

- This is an interview, right?

- Yeah.

- So maybe you should ask me

some open-ended questions.

You know, like, things that don't

just warrant yes or no answers.

Just, like, get me to talk...

Okay, yeah. No. Sure.

Is this the same place?

She just had this charm

about her that was electric.

I think because of that

she could get a lot out of people,

people trusted her, saw her as a confidant.

Jack was kind of pushing the lawyer thing,

but truly I... I think

Ashley's passion was journalism.

Good morning, Canyon Park High School.

I'm Ashley Foster, CPTV.

Just want to say hello to all the new

freshmen in the building.

Welcome aboard.

I know locker combinations can be tricky,

but you'll make it through just like I did.

So just keep trying.

Together, we're a team...

and this is not teamwork.

- That's cute.

- Yeah.

What did you guys think of Josh?

We didn't know him.

- Is that Josh's yearbook?

- Yeah, umm...

Ashley signed it.

- Oh really?

- Yeah.

- There it is.

- Oh!

Look at that.

I mean, he was never one of these kids

that came over to the house.

That's it. Josh Bishop.

- Seems like she had a lot of friends.

- Oh, she did, yeah.

She was a charmer.

Have you ever... Have you ever heard

the story of Ezekiel's wheel?

Umm...

- It-It's from the Bible.

- Oh. Yeah. Definitely not.

Ezekiel describes God

coming down from heaven in a chariot.

It's lighting up the sky,

but all along the outside are eyes.

Why would God need a spaceship?

Exactly, because he is space.

Yeah.

- All right, we're done. It's cool.

- It's done?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Great. Okay. Bye.

Thanks for doing it.

A very sweet girl. I met her a few times.

I definitely know that

Josh had a crush on her and...

I'm hoping...

Now I'm going to cry,

I'm hoping she liked him.

Just because they...

spent so much time together,

it would have been nice to know that he,

in his short life, could experience that.

- That's Ashley's handwriting.

- Mm-hmm.

And how much do you know about

what Ashley and Josh were working on?

We certainly didn't know any of that until...

- later.

- Later.

- It was after.

- Yeah. Yeah.

- We knew very little.

- Mm-hmm.

We're going to meet with some astronomers.

- Okay.

- They're going to have rocks

and all different kinds of stuff to show us,

so we've got to be prepared, and we need

to make sure that we're on our "A" game.

What does our "A" game mean?

We just have to be professional.

But I'm feeling... I feel like I've been

pretty professional so far, thank you.

I don't think I'm exactly amateur hour.

I know, but I-I guess

I'm just a little nervous.

I want everything to go good.

Well, do you have any questions prepared?

I have a ton, they're in my backpack.

Do you have my backpack by the way?

Yeah, I do.

Have you ever held a meteorite before?

I'll start with this one.

Whoa!

We get phone calls about UFOs

kind of frequently.

So when the Phoenix Lights happened,

were people calling and asking?

Uh... yeah, they were.

- A few.

- He shot the footage.

- Oh, you shot the footage?

- That's right, yeah.

Oh, congratulations! Can you learn to focus?

There you go.

They're in a formation of some kind,

but they're not really moving.

Okay, that's more likely flares.

The flares are probably

fifty to a hundred miles away.

So you don't see the smoke. You just see

a bright light that just hangs there

because of the parachute

to hold them in place.

Would you say you're

a hundred percent sure it's not

or you're ninety-nine percent sure

and still open to the possibility?

No, I'm a hundred percent sure

that-that-that... that that's what it was.

- Oh! A jet.

- It's an F-18.

- What was that?

- What did you say, Don?

- F-18.

- How do you know?

He's got the ear for it.

All right, I got as close as I could.

There's this creepy guy

who was just staring me down.

I think he was about to call security on me.

You actually believe it was the Air Force.

- You believe that...

- I do not.

- You believe the bearded...

- I don't know what I believe yet!

- I'm open...

- The bearded Galileo Society

of Phoenix, Arizona. I'm disappointed.

You're no longer a producer.

I am absolutely a producer!

I think I found the section.

"Ancient UFO sightings."

Check this out. Petroglyphs.

That's totally a spaceship.

Isn't this that Bible thing

you were talking about?

Ezekiel's wheel.

Wait, I know what this reminds me of.

It's like the machine at the end of Contact.

I love that movie.

Okay to go.

Okay to go.

- Initiate drop sequence.

- Okay to go!

Oh, my God, Oh, my God. I think

I'm going through a wormhole!

Okay.

I don't want

to seem ungrateful for all the help,

but what are we doing here?

We should be, like, breaking into Area-51.

Can you tell us

your name and what you do here?

My name is Tony Duncan,

I'm from the Apache Nation.

For the most part,

we do a lot of story-telling.

A lot of our stories of creation talk about

how at one time we were up in the lights,

up in the sky world, so maybe it was

one of our peoples up there.

So, you saw the lights last week?

I didn't see them.

I didn't see them... that exact time,

um, but I just heard

everyone's different stories.

But then eventually, you know,

I seen all the footage of it.

I first thought of the star people.

"That must be them, our relatives."

You said you didn't see them that exact time.

- What did you mean?

- Yeah. Actually, um...

way before the lights

that were seen in Phoenix,

my friend that I grew up with...

his name is Pony...

we actually seen some lights in the same way,

but they were a lot closer,

and we followed them.

- Wait.

- You saw the same formation?

Yeah, yeah. They were in the sky,

and they were actually...

they'd be here and then

they would take off really fast,

and they would move around,

and it was really exciting,

and then it went way out into the field.

Like, we were running way out

into the field for a long time,

our legs were getting all scratched up.

Eventually, it just took off.

Away, high upward. Just...
