Movie: Phoenix Forgotten


Phoenix Forgotten is a movie that comes out April 2017, and seems to be a re-telling of of events around the Phoenix Lights Incident that happened in 1997 of Arizona. This events was a well documented events that hundred of people witnessed and was captured and reported on the news. No one fully knows what these mysterious lights in the sky were. The military claims it was conducting drills, and that these lights were simply flares. There has been several movies made, both documentaries and "historical fiction" regarding the phenomena. Although no Alien Abductions were reported that I am aware of, as this was just a massive UFO sighting, there are several stories of missing people It is reminiscent of another movie called the Phoenix Incident (2016).

The Phoenix Forgotten is another tale of a group of people with an alien encounter in the desert. Popular now a days, this is another found footage movie. This time a group of friends who have seen the lights are convinced by Josh to look for them. He noticed from their movements it seemed that there was a pattern, and predicted that the lights should show up somewhere north in the mountains. They set out to find if they can see the lights again. On there hike they encounter spiral pictographs, carcasses of coyotes, and their compasses do not work. They become lost in the desert mountains. As nightfalls Mark gets abducted, then hours later Ashley disappears, with Josh being chased down and eventually abducted.

As the movie tells of what happened to the missing three, 20 years later we have the story picking up with Sophie who is trying to find out what happened. She herself is making a documentary (which you are watching) about her missing brother and friends.She has the last tape which shows them heading out from the car..... despite interviewing local residents she had no more information on the events of that night and the following disappearance. She even has an interview with the military who deny anything on their part. She soon discovers in storage a burned camcorder and it contains the last tape from her brother. She views it and the footage chronicles all the strange events that happened....and the view is left with her deciding what she will do with the footage.
