Pro tip: I was at a conference in Denver and a speaker's story about the '97 Phoenix Lights made me stop laughing at UFO talk.
This guy, a retired air traffic controller, laid out the radar data from that night in a way I'd never seen, showing objects moving in ways our current tech can't explain. I went from thinking it was all military flares to genuinely questioning what I dismiss. Has anyone else had a specific piece of evidence from a known event actually shift their stance on a big conspiracy?

That radar data point is huge because it comes from a trained observer with hard records. It moves the story from blurry videos to a real data puzzle for experts. That kind of specific proof is what makes you stop and really wonder.

Wait, they actually have the raw radar tapes?

That retired controller's name is Mike Fortson, and he's been pretty clear that the FAA never actually released the raw radar tapes to the public. So @the_felix is right about the trained observer part, but the hard data puzzle is based on his testimony and the known military radar returns, not on public tapes. It's still a solid data point from a pro, just not that specific piece of proof.
