VHS: Strangely True S2.04

Welcome. I'm Edward Stack. This evening we head back to Kentucky...

...to the city of Louisville, and recall a windy night in March 1991...

...when the night sky was filled with strange lights of an unknown origin.

I saw the craft. And it was a craft. Solid. It blocked out the stars.

Kim Jackson was one of thousands of witnesses to the event.

My son is in the Air Force and he told me flares only burn for a few minutes at most.

It was there for nearly an hour, moving slow. Then it shot off over the Ohio river.

It's hard to judge things at night, but it must have been hundreds of feet long.

I know my photos and everyone else's only show the lights...

...but it was solid. Silent and black and shaped like a V.

Just looking at them made you feel odd, like something bad was going to happen...

Even the Governor of Kentucky made light of the incident, blaming fans...

... of a local baseball team who recently lost a game.

The government maintains the lights were flares dropped from aircraft...

...but Kim is far from the only one who disagrees.

Were the Louisville Lights flares set by pranksters...

...or did something otherworldly pass over the city on that night in 1991?

I think I know. Do you?
