I think global warming is the real explanation.

Many on this list remember the infamous Phoenix Lights in 1997.  At the time 
amateur astronomer and New Times reporter Tony Ortega wrote a story that 
explained the lights.  Ten years later, Tony is the editor-in-chief of the 
Village Voice, and he wrote about them again, mostly in response to Larry 
King's recent interview with Fife Symington.

In case you are asked about the Phoenix Lights at a public star party, you 
might find some useful information in Tony's story.
