Art Bell Episodes About the Phoenix Lights

The Phoenix Lights became one of the most visible UFO events of the 1990s, and Art Bell covered it close to the moment when witnesses were still trying to explain what they had seen over Arizona. Because the topic is event-specific, the value is in following the coverage, updates, witnesses, and aftermath across a small set of episodes. Together, these Art Bell episodes preserve the immediacy of the March 13, 1997 sighting and the years of debate that followed, with links into Roswell, disclosure, UFO roundtables, and government-conspiracy context for listeners staying within UFO history.
