Unexplained “Phoenix Lights” explosion caught live on news broadcast

Phoenix's FOX 10 reporter Andrea Robinson was in the middle of an on-air report when an unexplained, bright white explosion appeared in the distance behind her.

The strange blast was caught on tape and aired live during Robinson's report. At first, news station employees thought the explosion was a transformer. But when FOX 10 checked with local utility providers APS and Salt River Project, they were told no transformers had blown in the area.

It’s obvious that they are using some type of light enhancement on the video, just look at how bright the headlights on the cars are. So, the “big flash” could simply be an artifact of that.

We don’t have lightening here very often. There was no weather situation here at all when this happened...The west sky where it came from is in the vicinity of Luke AFB and further west is Palo Verde Nuclear plant. Seems like someone would be able to figure out where it came from.

The Blaze had this video on their website and then below it was another video from Russia where the same thing occured some time ago. It was determined that in Russia this identical light was from a nuke plant.

Has anyone ever explained the Marfa Lights? (Marfa, Texas, that is.)

I'm thinking that camera is here, on top of that exit sign looking north. I think I can identify a small group of apt. bldgs. on the other side of the highway in the freeze frame on the video.

At any rate, it's near there.

I drew a Google Maps line along the apparent POV from the video and came pretty close to the Lake Pleasant hydroelectric plant, so I think that should be on the short list.

Didn’t Chuck Norris meet with Sheriff Joe that evening? It is possible that when they shook hands the combined he-man force vaporized the air around them for a mile radius. What we saw was a massive release of masculine plasma.

Twenty five posts and still the obvious is missing. The bright, non chemical, electrical flash was from a disintegrated Volt.

Look at the size of it though. This was not a building sized zap, it was on the horizon and the lighted area covered a mile or so. No transformer could have done that.

Maybe it was a very big transformer? Or, could it be linked to the solar disturbances that occurred last week? I can’t believe that some news source from that area hasn’t pinpointed what it was.

Don’t forget that this is essentially a night vision camera. An extremely bright localized source would generate a wide flare due to forward scattering through the air, and this does not indicate anything like a fireball of that size.
