The airport does not control the airspace above 10,000 feet, so generally speaking, aircraft on their way to a faraway destination at 24,000 or 35,000 feet could be safely routed regardless of what airport may be below.
They would still be on a...
There is no way that the first Phoenix Lights sighting was a hoax by Mike Rogers, or anyone else. First, it crossed almost the entire state of Arizona, by most accounts in less than an hour, suggesting a speed of about 400 mph. So Planes...

Perhaps it wasn't a rigid...

That's true. One report that sticks out to me, from a pilot (he was on the ground), has the time as 18:00. All the times on NUFORC are 24-hr format, and I'm sure people must sometimes get it wrong, but I don't think a pilot would accidentally...
