/sci/ - Science & Math

Earlier today I was looking into the Phoenix lights phenomena. I guess, as a phenomena, the whole incident should be of interest to science, correct? Anyways, sociology, culture, politics and myth aside, what are the scientific underpinnings here?

What is the traditional theory for explaining the Phoenix lights, or am I ignorant in assuming that the scientific community would spend time on debunking such an event?

I just recently wrote a shorty story inspired by the event and I'm looking for any intellectual conversation regarding the lights.
