0:00.0	Welcome to Phoenix. I'm Rebecca Leib, I'm Jason Horton, and this is Ghost Town.
0:20.5	Tonight, something strange happened in the skies over Arizona that still hasn't been fully
0:25.3	explained an event now known as the Phoenix Lights. It was extraordinary. No one knows for sure what
0:31.6	happened that night in the skies over Arizona in March, but thousands of people saw something.
0:38.0	On March 13th, 1997, between 730 and 1030 pm, thousands of people reported seeing strange bright
0:46.4	lights flying over Nevada, Arizona, and parts of Mexico. This would become the scene for one of the

2:11.7	You got to pay that mortgage. But what was Kurt Russell doing around 8 p.m. on March 13, 1997,
2:18.4	and what did it have to do with one of the world's most widely witnessed UFO sightings?
2:23.7	Around the same time that night, a man in Henderson, Nevada heard a noise and looked up into the
2:28.0	night sky. He described what he heard as the loud sound of something like rushing wind,
